Hi! I went to celebrate my partner’s birthday. I made the reservation 45 minutes in advance, and I was pleasantly surprised that the server and other staff were greeting him! We love Terroni, and this was our first time at this location. The interior is beautiful, and everything was great: the food, service, noise level, and drinks!
