From a storefront selling imported Italian pantry staples with only a handful of seating to our most recent renovation and expansion celebrating our 30 years of Terroni, our first ever location got a much deserved face lift, elevating both the look and function of this neighbourhood favourite while still retaining its character of being warm and inviting.Despite its modern, updated new look, the original spirit of Terroni that kicked off three decades of authentic Italian experience lives here.

    We went for dinner and celebrated my nephews bday, and the service, ambiance, history of the building and most importantly, the food was superb. We started with burrata and prosciutto, funghi salad, calamari and carpaccio.. all amazing, baratta was a crowd favourite, mine was the funghi salad. Second were the pizzas, we had the sausage pizza and the goat cheese aubergine pizza…. Simply amazing, third were the pasta.. the bolognese was so delicious along with the mushroom prosciutto.. just wow. And pls have their desserts! The tiramisu and the affogato were so amazing. Will definitely go back. And not to forget their incredible wine selection !! Must try

    Visiting from Newfoundland and this was the best meal of our trip (and we went to several bib gourmand restaurants)! Absolutely amazing Italian food, with phenomenal service and a chef who puts a lot of heart into her food and her restaurant. I’m so glad we came here— all four of my party had a different pasta and they were each amazing in their own way— I’ll be back for sure, would highly recommend !

    Finally back after a couple of months of being away and always enjoy a staple eatery on King Street, so happy to see our favourite server sassy Cassie, who is adorable as ever and makes you feel like a friend more than a guest of the restaurant, risotto is my favourite however, I will venture back into the pastas next time, great ambiance and fun music because Taylor Swift was in town and super cool woodwork decor, floors etc. Always worth a visit!
