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.

Dined here as a treat to my mother who was visiting me in the city. Cocktails were very good, food was amazing and the service was outstanding! We went around 6:30pm on a Friday and there were only 4-5 other tables with people; we had a quiet and enjoyable dinner. Definitely recommend this place!

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.
