It’s been a while since I’ve been to Terroni. The last time was at their Victoria Street location. I regret not returning earlier because our experience was excellent! The food was delicious and fresh. The Chianti suggested by their sommelier was an excellent pairing to the food. Our server (Acascia) was extremely friendly but professional. Even though it was busy, she made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back!

A wonderful experience. The restaurant is a mix of campy meets classy, super fun and we took some great photos (we sat downstairs at a round table in the middle of the room next to a disco ball styled pillar 😍 All the food we had was fantastic, especially the gluten-free pasta! Drinks were good but nothing super "wow". I appreciated how the volume and music level wasn't too loud and conversation was comfortable but still felt private. We will definitely be back!

The occasion of this visit was a pre-Christmas lunch with some colleagues and friends. There were four of us. Two of us had the veal special, one the veal parmigana, and the fourth had the chicken. We shared a sampling of appetizers including the carpaccio - a favorite of mine. Everything was excellent. In fact, over the years that I've dined at Carisma, I have never had anything less than an excellent meal. The service always complements the food in quality. Looking forward to my next visit, in 2025.
