| - After living in toronto for numerous years and hearing how fantastic terroni's is, I finally went there a few months ago (twice). Both times I didn't really enjoy it, and the only reason I went back is because I literally live right across the street and am a very lazy person.
First, there are some positive things about this place. The building itself is beautiful and the servers are all very attractive. This place is ALWAYS packed - which could be a good thing if you're into that (personally I'm not) and they have a few sets of communal dining tables (long tables were you sit beside other people). I could see how this could be a fun experience, however it does not appeal to me in the slightest.
For me, my biggest complaint was that because the place was so busy and the tables so close together, I had difficulty talking and kept getting distracted by other tables.
I must admit, that the food is pretty good, however I feel it is over priced for what you get. The first time I went I had pizza, which was unremarkable, but the second time I had a lamb pasta dish which was actually really great.
Also, I didn't find the service particularily great. I asked our server to recommend a bottle of wine and was very disappointed with what she picked - it didn't seem to go with what we ordered at all, and again, seemed way overpriced.
All in all, I wouldn't go back to terroni's. However, I feel like this is understandable since I am not the demographic that terroni's appeals to. Also, this place doesn't take reservations, which is frustrating.
