The food here is absolutely amazing — authentic flavors, perfectly cooked pasta, and great presentation. The location right in downtown Toronto makes it easy to get to, and the building itself has such a unique atmosphere. It's an old courthouse, complete with preserved details and even old jail cells, which adds a ton of character to the decor. The main dining rooms were quite loud when we arrived, so we ended up eating at the bar instead — and honestly, that turned out to be a great choice. The service was excellent, and we could actually enjoy our meal and conversation. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Italian food in a memorable setting.

I had a great experience. Since I had a big group (9 folks), they gave us the reserved room. It was really nice, it felt like home but with great service.

Ashley - thank you for impeccable service, humble kindness, and for making my family's evening perfect for my sisters birthday.

Amazing time at Terroni. The service was seamless and we went with the special of the day and it's was delicious. We loved the ambiance and the quality of food. We just came back from our honeymoon in Italy and this was so close to what we had! Truly authentic vibes!

We were there for lunch so it was quiet. Our server (wish I could remember her name) was so fabulous, warm and friendly and you could see she loves what she does. They should add a chicken breast to their menu that you could perhaps have as an add on to all their salads that are on the menu. My options were limited but I loved their pizza, salads, grilled veggies, I am not a big pasta eater although my family mostly had pasta. I did order a Branzino fish that came with salad but it was just okay. Smelled a bit fishy...thus wishing they had a chicken breast I could have chosen instead :) Went to see Broadway matinee after this lunch which always brings me to this restaurant for this reason. It is close and easy and friendly service.

If you haven't experienced Terroni yet, make a reservation soon! The grilled calamari is absolutely delicious and a must-try. Their seafood pasta is impressive, as you can see in the picture. And if you're in the mood for something simple, definitely go for their bolognese pasta.
If you venture downstairs to the washrooms, be sure to check out the old holding cells in the basement that have been transformed into wine cellars. It's fascinating to see how this place used to be an old courthouse back in the day!

This seems like a nice place but the food just wasn’t up to par. The service was pretty good, and the atmosphere was ok. We were upstairs at collapsible tables in seemingly a wedding venue. We had a party of 10 and I think 2 people liked their meal. We’re are not a picky group but it just wasn’t great

We came here for a birthday dinner and were quite disappointed. I had mentioned in my reservation that it was a special occasion but that note seemed to have gotten lost. Instead we were seated in the basement, our food was lukewarm, the gluten free pasta was half the size of the regular meals, our coffee was cold, our server was not good. For that price we we're expecting a nicer dini g experience.

Got the lasagne. Was definitely a little mushy. Felt like it was from the freezer or a cafeteria unfortunately. It was on their specials menu too. Service was pretty decent though there were water marks on my cutlery if I were to be specific. Very nice space though. I was seated in the basement area so it was not as loud and busy as the upstairs which was good to hear the rest of my group. I like that you can also book the space for events (they held a wedding with a separate entrance which was cool)

Food is really good, the restaurant is beautiful. The downfall is outside on the street, full of addicted people doing drugs near the restaurant’s front door. Didn’t feel safe walking from the parking lot to the restaurant. Not the restaurant’s fault, but I would think twice before going back to this location, unfortunately.
Love the food and service.. Amazing how they manage the place during busy hours as well..

The food was absolutely exquisite - every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly made and well balanced. Our server went above and beyond, attentive and kind throughout the evening. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I would highly recommend!

Love Terroni for their pastas and also the pizzas. My friend and I enjoy coming here for a night out or for drinks. We make reservations in advance as they do get busy especially during dinner time and the weekends. The service has always been good to us and very accommodating. Would recommend if you’re in the area or want to try something new.
