best italian food in the city

I am a regular…and I do like to eat out a lot…The food is really good…but the prices are out of order….Afterall a lot of the dishes are pasta or pizza…We all know how much that cost them to make…10 years ago the prices use to be in line with what you get…but now it’s a bit of a rip off….Years ago I wouldn’t hesitate to order appetizer, entree, and dessert….But now, I wouldn’t think of ordering anything beyond an entree….

I went to Terroni for a reunion dinner on the recommendation of a friend and it was fantastic, despite the long wait for a table. They don’t accept reservations and the hostess will NOT seat you until your entire party is present and as a result, me and my friend ended up waiting in line for over an hour while the rest of our friends made their way to the restaurant. It was okay though, since we had a lot to catch up on. We visited the Queen St. West location and it was packed and bustling – great for parties and larger groups, but kinda hard to hear for an intimate dinner. The 5 of us ended up getting a great table with a nice view of the restaurant as well as the waiting line. Terroni is known for their thin crust pizzas and their homemade pastas – both of which were tasty and fresh. The appetizers also come in generous portions. We split two between four people. Prices for pizzas and pastas are under $15, so great value. Make sure you save room for dessert. The tiramisu is HUGE (enough for 2) and homemade daily.

have never had a mediocre meal here. consistently stellar! queen st. location has best atmosphere.
