Went to the Adelaide location awhile ago, and won't be going again. The waiter was constantly putting his hand on my back whenever he came over. The pasta potion I got was tiny and bland. And the waiter basically ignored my table until we were all done, leaving my empty plate sitting in front of me for 10 minutes, even though he came and took one of the plates from the table next to me.

I didn't leave a big tip and I saw him glare back at me from the cash register. (the tip was alright considering half the bill was wine and just two mains) ]]>

I think that what this all comes down to is, we can all agree..
Terroni (queen st) is GOOD.  It's a GOOD restaurant. It's not great.
Go there, enjoy, put up with it, whatever, but there's better out there.]]>

Honestly, I think Terroni is overrated. I went there with high expectations, only to be let down. There's a MUCH better place called "Fratelli" in Scarborough that I've been frequenting-- the owner is very personable, alongside the rest of the staff, and the food is great. It's is reasonably-priced and the portions are well-sized. Definitely worth a visit for people who are looking for good Italian food.]]>

I ate at the Balmoral location once.  I didn't have any problem with what was offered - I ordered the gnocchi.  They were fine, but as my folks sometimes say, "sapeva di poco".  I think I paid $16 for about a demi-tasse of gnocci.]]>

Went with my girl to the Queen West location... ordered some Ravioli something-something, it wasn't served hot, and they didn't even fill up my plate. I asked for some Parmesan, and they wouldn't budge. I'll admit I was a noob, but if I'm paying for a meal, I should be able to have access to the free condiments!  It took me about a minute to finish of the bulimic portions, and it left me wanting to use my McDonalds coupons for desert!  This place is way over hyped.  I had Chef-Boyardee that tasted better. ]]>

Never been, but if the waiter is standing right there with a cheese grater in his or her hand, I should think it would behoove them to serve it to anyone at the table who asks.  Anything less is sheer rudeness.

As for substitutions, who are you to tell the artist what to paint?
If you are an annoying allergy person, you call ahead to find out their policy.]]>

Being Italian myself, I can honestly say that the food at Terroni--not that great. There are better places in Toronto (which is why I'm extremely disappointed that it mad number 2 on this list). Overrated, overrpriced, and the staff is ridiculously rude and unaccomodating. 

To ontherun: even the best French restaurants know and understand food allergies. To not even attempt to accomodate to those individuals is simply ignorant and shows that Terroni does not care about their patrons. ]]>

Just had lunch at Terroni's on Queen St. Had the eggplant ravioli which was good and Le Peculi pizza. I don't think its Toronto's best pizza. I've had better pizza st Il Fornello. I thinks it overrated and overpriced. Will not return. ]]>

Visited the one on Queen after having read this review. Must say I can't agree with it being number one. I am new to the city and still have many a pizza to eat but I can say that Terroni will not be visited twice. My girl friend and I ordered a pasta dish each and a Margherita pizza I felt disappointed. Now I am trying not be bias, coming from an Italian background but the pasta fell very short of delicious and the prices were not worth the quantity or taste. The pizza was mediocre at best it left me wanting something more (boring). The atmosphere however was great. The louder the better (at another comment). All in all I am sure there are many places aside from Terroni worth mentioning (head to Woodbridge maybe, or the Niagara Region where I am from). I didn't read many of the other comments but having skimmed a few I don't think I am alone on this (another Anthony). To the people saying no alterations or make it at home...if you have a basic understanding of what a real Pizza is, you can make a better one at home. 

That being said, to all the cakes...enjoy.]]>

The sprinkle of cheese is NOT a big deal, Nina. The principle, however, IS. You have to agree that requesting some extra cheese for a pizza is not an unusual request, especially from someone who had never eaten at Terroni before, hence unfamiliar with their rules. The fact that she so easily dismissed my request, without so much as a proper explanation or even a hint of an apology, was something I've never come across in any Toronto restaurant. And the fact that Terroni stands behind this kind of customer service is downright appalling.

I appreciate your crusade against all Terroni haters, but may I suggest going to Ferro on St. Clair instead? The pizza there is 10x better and you won't be told what to do or how to eat either.]]>

This place is HORRIBLE! I am Italian and spent the first 17 years of my life in Italy! The thought that you can't add such things as salt / pepper / cheese or balsamic vinegar to a meal without ruining its authenticity is absurd! This is NOT a fancy 5 star restaurant (although it is grossly over-priced!).  The $12 / hour waiter and the $15 / hour chefs need to get over their mediocre asses and do what they should be doing: SERVE THE CUSTOMERS!

Ciao..]]>

Substitutions should be allowed because:

1. the cardinal rule of the hospitality trade is CUSTOMER SERVICE.  
2. it is rude and arrogant for a person to tell another person what they should and shouldn't like.
3. the customer is paying and the food industry has shifted towards accomodating special requests a long time ago.

I have been to Terroni a few times and I would go back, as I have not experienced some of the horrid "alteration" refusals.  But I agree that the owners/managers of the restaurant has lost sight of the big picture by the way customers are treated - that or they don't care because they know their food is good and people will come regardless. ]]>

Its great....Everyone complaining on this site about Terroni's, mean while most people can't get a seat at the restaurant every single night.  

Coming from an Italian background, Terroni has probably the freshest quality ingredients in any italian restaurant in the city.  There are others which are comparable, like 7numbers, but to consistently have fresh, quality dishes day in and day out is very impressive.

Keep doing what you are doing Terroni.
