Where it all started. Our first location on 720 Queen Street West opened in 1992. From a storefront selling imported Italian pantry staples with only a handful of seating to our most recent renovation and expansion celebrating our 30 years of Terroni, our first ever location got a much deserved face lift, elevating both the look and function of this neighbourhood favourite while still retaining its character of being warm and inviting.Despite its modern, updated new look, the original spirit of Terroni that kicked off three decades of authentic Italian experience lives here.

    Incredible service, menu recommendations, and atmosphere! Had a great time and the wine was very good too. We had trouble with traffic getting there and they did their best to accommodate us in the short amount of time we had.

    I often go to the Terroni Adelaide location, so this was my first time on Queen. A different ambiance overall, much more quaint and sort of trendy type place, but with the same great Terroni food and service. Without pause, I always ask the waiter for their recommendation and go with it. I have yet to be steered wrong (helps I am not a picky eater). The waiter always has multiple suggestions, as they did this evening, and are knowledgeable on each item. More of the same is to be said about their wine recommendations. I can’t promote Terroni enough, and now that I am aware of the several locations, I thoroughly look forward to experiencing each of the locations in the near future!
