This was my first time visiting Terroni, and I really enjoyed it! The ambience, decor, and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. For our drinks, we ordered the Senzabrillo (alcohol free mocktail), and the Mandarin infused Italian soda. For our meal, we tried the Grilled Calamari, Lemon Pasta, and Seafood Pasta. Then to top it all off, we ordered the butterscotch pudding and pistachio lava cake. I highly recommend the drinks, appetites, and main courses, however I do warn that the butterscotch pudding was a bit too sweet, and the pistachio lava cake was an interesting concept but could have used more of the ice cream and crumb accompaniments.

Food was tasty. Pricey but worth it in my opinion. Will be back. Steak and potato was amazing, lobster pasta was good but slightly over hyped. Tomato sandwich is a must. Only thing we didn't like was the tuna crudo, fish was nice quality but the olive caramel was nasty.
