Can’t wait to come here again. Party of 7 for lunch. Loved the calamari fritti and pizzas. Milena was very helpful, thoughtful and kind to our table. Only cons are pasta was slightly undercooked, not al dente

We decided to visit Terroni for a quick lunch, this was our second time there. We made a reservation and were seated right away. The staff were amazing! The grilled calamari was absolutely delicious. The cheese ravioli wasn’t my favorite, but our server explained it very well, so I knew I was trying something outside my comfort zone. If you enjoy hard cheeses, it’s definitely a dish worth trying!

I wish I could say I enjoyed Terroni more. The venue itself was not held in the main restaurant. The company I work at booked out some of the upper floors for an event. There were four flights of stairs to get up to the first floor with the bar and main dining area. There was another two flights of stairs to get to the upper bar (which I was too tired to walk up to). The drinks at the bar were good and the staff were all great. We started with passed apps. Some of the flavour combinations were just off (the skewer with fruit, cheese and something else) - like they paired the wrong cheese with the fruit. The meal itself was a seat down meal (family style) which did take over two hours to complete for the amount of guests that were present (over 200 ppl).

My favorite dish was the tomato and mozza salad. My most disappointed dish was the ragu pasta. Though containing a good amount of meat it was not saucy at all. The pizza was the brocolini was good as well.

The reason I gave this restaurant three stars is strictly for the lack of elevator and the food quality vs the price. For what you are paying, there is so much higher quality food in the city and I honestly think you can get better bang for buck elsewhere.

Its ok. Had to wait around at 4pm for about 20 minutes mid week with a reservation for 8 upstairs in the large dining room which was empty.

Menu is mostly in Italian. No draught beer so you will need to order bottled. Approx 8 dollars per bottle. The fried calamari appetizer was good but for 24 dollars a little overpriced. Also got the charcuterie board for 30 dollars again very overpriced for what you get. For main had pizza affitiscuita, a spictly salami pizza for 25 dollars, was ok to split between two people but was fairly thin crust so thankfully we ordered two appetizers otherwise each person needs their own pizza. Finished with tiramisu for desert which was fairly normal.

Overall the flavours are all great, but the portions for the price were surprising. Serivice is ok. Had to wave down the server several times for more water as the food is fairly salty and the water glasses very small.

This place is tired and running on fumes. It used to be good, but the service is indifferent, the food is mediocre at best, the ambiance is loud with people packed tightly together and music piped over it all. And the music is an odd mix of pop; not one Italian song. Go someplace else.

Had a nice lunch at Terroni. The building and design is pleasing to the eye, but they pack so many tables in there that you are practically sitting on one another. It also makes for a very noisy dining room.

Food was fine. If you order the prosciutto, its literally just a plate of sliced meat. No charcuterie set up, no presentation whatsoever, which I thought was a tad clunky.

Pizza was good though.

I had the seabass, which was tasty but ODDLY paired with chickpeas in tomato sauce... like what? Why? It was a terrible side dish. Why not just plain rice? Clearly just a can of chickpeas covered in red sauce. Not much flavour. Thankfully the seabass was the real star.

I'd like to try some of the other mains next time, like as the porkchop.

I stopped by while looking for a great Italian spot in Toronto, and the calamari truly exceeded my expectations. It was perfectly fried crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of fresh ocean flavour. Served with a slice of lemon and a delicious dipping sauce, it made the whole dish even more enjoyable. Throughout the meal, both the atmosphere and the service were excellent; in a warm and lively setting, I had a genuinely high-quality start to my dining experience.

Had an early Sunday dinner at Terroni Adelaide before a concert at Massey Hall and it was a great pre-show spot. The restaurant is set inside a former 1852 courthouse, with soaring ceilings and a beautiful atrium. Even the washrooms are downstairs in old jail cells, which is a fun little surprise.

We shared the Calamari alla Griglia to start, fresh and nicely balanced. My date had the Spaghetti in Canna a Mare. It was labelled mildly spicy but definitely had some heat, though the flavours were great. I ordered the Ravioli al Brasato, which was delicious but the portion was on the smaller side. I could have eaten a few more ravioli and been perfectly happy.

We finished with tiramisu, plus an amaro for me and zambuca for my date. Service was friendly, though drinks were a bit slow coming out. The place filled up quickly but never felt chaotic.

Beautiful space, solid Italian food, and a great option downtown, especially before a show.

Dinner for 13 was easily accommodated by pleasant and professional servers. Food was really excellent, prices were reasonable, atmosphere in a historic building was gorgeous, and not too loud. I wish I could give 6 stars.

Absolutely unacceptable experience.

This restaurant proudly displays a double-column menu — one side stating “no accommodations” and the other claiming they “take allergies very seriously.” You cannot have it both ways. Refusing to remove one single topping from a pizza for a life-threatening allergy is not “taking allergies seriously,” it’s negligence wrapped in marketing.

When we explained the allergy, we were not asking to change a recipe, reinvent the dish, or compromise quality — just to remove one topping. Instead of basic human decency, the staff were rude, dismissive, and completely unaccommodating. They kept offering my sister food options she explicitly told them she could not eat, leaving her tearful and upset over something entirely out of her control.

They tried to justify this by claiming it was to “keep the food authentic.” As an Italian, that argument is laughable. Any real Italian — my mother, my nonna, my zia — would never put “authenticity” over the safety of someone they’re feeding. That is not Italian culture; that’s just an excuse.

To make matters worse, after the issue was raised, the staff rushed our food out, spoke to us curtly, and made it very clear they wanted us gone. The entire experience felt hostile and uncomfortable.

Let’s be honest: this isn’t about authenticity. Everything is frozen, and that’s the real reason they won’t accommodate allergies. If you’re unable — or unwilling — to handle even the most basic allergy request, then don’t pretend you care about customer safety.

If you or someone you love has food allergies, do not eat here. The menu might say they take allergies seriously, but their actions say the complete opposite

I had just come back from Italy, and this restaurant fed the piece of me that wants to go back. Everything was flavourful and authentic. The building is so grand and interesting, I don’t think I fully experienced it even with a trip to the bathroom. You have to order the caprese di bufula to start.

We went to Terroni for a work lunch and wow was the food ever amazing. I will say they have few vegan options, but plenty vegetarian options. I had the butternut squash ravioli which was divine. Often I find Italian restaurants are stingy when it comes to ravioli, but Terroni was quite generous. I loved the bread they brought out at the beginning. Our server was very helpful and kind. The food came out at breakneck speed. I was genuinely shocked. Dessert was also scrumptious. Highly recommend the chocolate torta, though it is a bit pricey for the size.

As far as accessibility, there are stairs to get up to the entrances, many people waiting indoors, far distances to walk to tables, and tables were quite close together.

Food was good but it was far too dark to see anything never mind to eat your food. It was also noisy, this was an old courthouse so the noise travelled up to the third floor.

An amazing setting for a very authentic dining experience. We ate as a group in what appeared to be a great hall or ballroom upstairs. There were 4 fireplaces and balconies overhanging our tables. Dark but fascinating decor throughout the building. The menu made everything sound very appealing. We had the lemon calamari, fungi salad, papparadelle and tagliatelle bolognese. The calamari was unremarkable and not distinguishable from pub fare. The funghi assolute, though, was very interesting, with a crisp, meaty feeling balanced by the arugula and balsamic. The papparadelle alla iosa was also very authentic, with a lovely, toothy mouth feel to the perfectly al dente noodles and a homemade, Nonna flavour to the sausage and sauce. The menu describes it as "spicy sauasge" but there was minimal, if any, heat to it. Still quite tasty.
Definitely an interesting and authentic Italian option in downtown.

The servers kept trying to take our plates away even it’s obvious that we’re still working on it. The serving assistant didn’t know how to clear/move our appetizer plates to make space for new dishes, so he just stood there and had us move the plates for him. He was also unprofessional in a way that he just took away the round plate that we used to share food, without giving one back to us.
We didn’t ask for bills, but they gave the check to us right after we finished the last bite. It’s just 9:10pm! Why are they in a rush? We considered ordering one more pasta or dessert, but we felt like we’re not welcomed. Plus, it’s very loud. The space between tables is so narrow. Don’t go if you want to enjoy a meal.

The pasta tasted good though.

Terroni is one of those Italian restaurants that delivers on all levels. The wine list is well-curated with plenty of options to pair with your meal, and the patio is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy. The pasta is fresh and flavorful, the cheese selections are rich and authentic, and the calamari is crisp and well-seasoned. On top of the great food, the atmosphere is warm, lively, and inviting making it an excellent place for both casual outings and special occasions
