Terroni Downtown is an Italian restaurant that has a branch close to Beverly Hills, where I have dined. My first time dining here at the downtown LA. My fashion designer friends who work close to this area always Italian food and always eat here. I eat Italian food daily and prefer to eat at my fav iL Pastaio in Beverly Hills. This time I agree to meet for a late lunch and was dreading the meal. The waitress informed us the pasta is made daily in house, that was assuring but I was still cringing. I figured on ordering what I usually eat and ordered The Seafood Pasta Del Mar, the simple green salad and tiramisu for dessert. First off, the complementary bread and olive oil was served first. I...
I was just in Downtown and saw the Terroni was gone. I know some will say, well, Covid has ravaged such restaurants and ain't it a shame. The shame of this place was its attitude. As a reviewer points out below they were very uptight about changing anything on the menu for diet restrictions. Listen. I'm Italian. I get if they're like, no, we're not going to produce a vegan gluten free non-spicy salt free lasagna out of thin air. That's fine. What wasn't was their attitude about any changes. My partner in crime really enjoyed a dish, was willing to live without gluten free pasta but simply asked that they not add grated cheese to the recipe at the last second. They informed us that was imposs...
This was our second stop on a date night in downtown LA, and I think it was good. But, good is not great. I was walking by this place the night before and it caught my eye because it looks so intimate and chic so I looked at the menu, it looked good and fairly priced and so we went. All those things remain true, it is well decorated to give a exclusive and luxurious atmosphere, the service was friendly and quick, and I thought the Italian dishes were intricate, exquisite flavors (truffle, braised short rib must be delicious) But that's where I think they fell a little bit short. We ordered the squid ink pasta with lobster, the octopus, and a seafood pasta. I thought the squid ink had a delic...
Came here last night with some friends. They have valet for $8, street parking a might be hard to find since downtown can get hectic. The interior is beautiful, I love the ceiling and the decorations. The waitress was friendly and helpful, we told her what kind of wine we like and she was able to suggest an amazing bottle! We shared a couple appetizers, the fried calamari was just alright, but the duck prosciutto with burrata was sooo good! The burrata was fresh and went really well with the savory notes of the duck prosciutto. The Margherita pizza was really good as well, you can never go wrong with it. The highlight for me was the truffle pasta, the pasta was cooked al dente and the truffl...

Had a great experience at Terroni with the food, staff, and atmosphere. The tall industrial-looking building makes for a loud space, but a fun Italian themed place nonetheless. Great spot to enjoy dinner with family or friends. They do take reservations! We started our night with a caraf of house wine for three people for under $30! We paired it with Piatto a Stutare, which was a delicious creamy burrata served with thinly sliced proscuitto and grilled radicchio. For our main course, three of us shared the Tonnarelli alla Norcina (long fresh pasta cascading with homemade sausage and black truffle) Capunti al Ragu (the most delicious lamb ragu), and ravioli verde (homemade spinach ricotta rav...
I met some old friends in DTLA for dinner. Terroni has caught my eye previously because it is always busy and has a good looking space. Our appetizers were excellent. I recommend the carpaccio and the grilled calamari for starters. My seafood pasta was good, but not as good as it looked. The seafood was a bit over cooked and the shrimp was mushy, but the sauce tasted great (even though I generally prefer seafood pasta with a simple olive oil and garlic). Dessert was good, but again not as good as it looked. Drinks were excellent. I had two negronis and a glass of wine. Service was friendly and patient, given that we talked a lot and lingered. So, a mixed bag for me. My friends enjoyed their...
Over the past three days I have eaten at Terroni twice with my son and each experience was great. Our first visit was for lunch and we ate at the bar. The bar tender was great very friendly and provided us great service. My son had pasta with clams that was very good and I had the spaghetti al Limones which was also very good. On our second visit we went for dinner and sat in the main room which has very high ceilings with ornate tin work. Our server brought us bread with peppers and olive oil. The bread was fantastic and the peppers were also very good but spicy. My son repeated with the pasta and clams and I had Spaghetti ca'Muddica which was excellent. Also, I recommend that you check out...
I've been to Terroni before and loved the spaghetti al limone. I wanted to try something new this time around and ordered from the brunch menu (Sat-Sun 10-3). There was no line when we arrived and was seated immediately. |LOCATION| The downtown location is elegant and has a nice corner view. The staff are all kind and knowledgeable of making recommendations. |PARKING| Street meter parking available and there is a lot across the restaurant for $5 |FOOD| The food quality is great. If you are a pasta lover I would definitely recommend the spaghetti al limone as I mentioned at the top! The seafood pasta was like any other seafood pasta but the flavoring was good! We will for sure be returning in...

Thanks To Romeo for always taking great care of me with food suggestions and wine. Everything has been amazing in flavor and service .. I've always tried to stay away from carbs but the portion isn't overwhelming or that filling. I leave feeling just right .. I've been craving pasta nearly every day now! All of the dishes have been so very tasty and flavorful with top ingredients. The finest cheeses and truffles and homemade sausage and sauces and with a touch unique blends of dandelion or bitter green.. I've tried 4 of pasta dishes in the past couple weeks I'll Be back to try to seafood pasta next ! Monday's half price off pasta ! See you manana!
I recommend the oyster mushroom appetizer and the tagliatelle al ragu. They have a good selection of wine, and they have a DJ on Friday nights. It can get quite loud. They also offer gluten options. There's a $10 parking lot across the street, and they offer valet.
