Where it all started. Our first location on 720 Queen Street West opened in 1992. 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.

Dined here as a treat to my mother who was visiting me in the city. Cocktails were very good, food was amazing and the service was outstanding! We went around 6:30pm on a Friday and there were only 4-5 other tables with people; we had a quiet and enjoyable dinner. Definitely recommend this place!

Overall we were happy with the meal and the service provided. I find the selection on the menu a bit limited, especially if you are in the company of a person who would rather have something else than pasta. Wine selection is good but on the pricey side. What was most disappointing was the seating. When making the reservation (for 2 people) we indicated that we are celebrating a birthday. Upon arrival no consideration was given to this effect and we had to request to to be seated at a different table. Why even bother with asking at the time of reservation whether there is a special occasion? We love Terroni but in future would rather go to one of the other locations again.
