Terroni is an Italian restaurant located on Queen Street West. Our other friend decided to join us for dinner and said that he loved the pizza here so we decided to give it a try. Now, the lighting in the restaurant was very dark and the red table cloth did not help when it came to taking pictures of the food so I'm sorry for the pictures :( PS, credits to my friend for letting me use her camera!
My friend who recommended this place said his favourite pizzas are from here so the three of us decided to share two pizzas. He also said that the pasta was good so if you come here, you might want to check those out too!
1) Peach Bellini (front)
- thoughts: This drink was SUPER PRICEY (it was $9 and there was so little in my opinion). Nevertheless, it was what you'd think it would be, just peach juice and Prosecco (which is why it's expensive I guess). Anyways, it was very typical, nothing special at all.
2) Puzza
- menu description: white pizza with mozzarella, italian mascarpone, gorgonzola, mushrooms, italian ham
- thoughts: I really liked the gorgonzola on the pizza and it was really nice! I personally like tomato sauce on pizza more than just pure white pizza (aka no tomato sauce on it). Nevertheless, the dough was thin and the crust was very nice; it had the right amount of chewiness for me :)
3) San Giorgio
- menu description: tomato, mozzarella, hot calabrese salame, fresh mushrooms
- thoughts: I thought this pizza was really good! The only problem I had with it was the fact that the salame was REALLY SPICY for me but that's because I cannot tolerate any spiciness. But then again, even my friend who has a higher tolerance for spiciness said that the salame was quite hot. Nevertheless, the salame was really good; I just wished I could eat more of it without tearing up or having the sides of my mouth burn. Again, the pizza was perfectly cooked and the crust was nice, soft and had the right amount of chewiness
This place was quite nice. The restaurant is quite dark and sadly it was a bit too dark for me. Though I found it REALLY COOL how they had their own live DJ that was remixing typical restaurant soundtracks you'd hear in the background. Also, the washroom sink/waiting area is beautiful but the stalls are SMALL; there are only 2 stalls (for the girl's washroom) and they are very cramped. The service was decent and the hostess treated us very well! Long story short, we almost had to wait for 30-45 minutes for a table of 3 but she felt bad because my friend had already waited 20 minutes at the restaurant (he waited for my friend and I to walk from Church and Bloor to the restaurant >.<). So she said rearranged a few tables and gave us a table right away which was really nice of her!
Overall, if you're into authentic Italian food (especially Pizza and Pasta), you should come check this place out! Just watch out for your wallet because this place is quite pricey :)
