“Wow, we had the Caesar salad and the Potato truffle pizza with bacon. Both exceptional, but the pizza the best I’ve ever had (including Italy). The crust was divine. The server was responsive and informative. Worth the visit.”
“Great place for a light meal after wine tasting. Caesar salad with crispy sweet kale - was excellent ! The dressing not overly garlic, lightly creamed, and wonderful taste. The spreads with Focaccia very good (olive Tapenade, fermented mustard, la bomba, and chutney) were very good but would have been better if we had the crackers (instead of Focaccia) and had chosen the meat or cheese Charcuteries to balance out the tastes. The chocolate truffles on marscapone and caramel - - absolutely outstanding! Nice touch with the dried strawberry slices. Sat in a booth - - easy to talk until larger group of 9 came in. Service was good and she tried her best to keep all happy. We will be back!”
“We had a truly magical experience at Terrafina. Our server was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our dishes: new-to-the-menu lasagna and a delicious, creamy butternut squash risotto. Only to be polite 😉, we had dessert…an in-house stracciatella gelato and a delicate orange almond cake - divine! Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!”
“We had an absolutely incredible dinner on the patio to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday. We started with the focaccia and the lemon herb butter (thyme and parsley). My sister-in-law had the fettuccine with braised beef, tomato sauce, heirloom carrots, fried egg and crispy potato. The birthday boy enjoyed the fish of the day with local potato, blistered tomato, pancetta braised, scallion, and smoked tomato broth with crispy breadcrumbs and green oil. My partner and I split the Potato Truffle Pizza with thinly sliced potato, garlic oil, mozzarella, parmesan, chili flakes, truffle aioli, arugula and the spring pea risotto. We had asked for the chilli flakes to be served on the side, but the kitchen neglected to do so. Fortunately, my partner who is not crazy about spicy, did not mind them. The pizza was much larger than we expected and oozing flavour and texture. The risotto was creamy and somewhat bland next to the pizza, but the ribbons of zucchini and carrot were an elegant presentation. Dessert was a chocolate crème brûlée, and the orange almond cake, both of which were delightful. With three glasses of wine, the total came to about $230 Canadian, which, for the quality of the food and service, I found quite reasonable for a special meal Staff make sure that water glasses are refilled promptly, and everything was perfect. Bathrooms pristine.”
“Stopped by for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious. Perfectly seasoned. I loved the thinky sliced sausage in the Muffaletta Orecchiette. Our server was attentive but not intrusive.”
