The place was crowded and we sat at the bar.
While the bartender was attentive the waitress wasn't. It felt like we had to call her for everything, incl. bread.
Our mushroom salad was great. Very flavorful.
The Arancine was dry and not what I expected.
The pasta special spaghetti Bolognese needed more tomato sauce.
The food was served hot which is good.
Creme brule might have been the best I've had.
The coffees were great.
Loved my Affogato.
The wine: Too pricey $17 for a 5oz glass too much!
The restaurant feels very cozy.
I would come back
If you want a traditional Italian meal with impeccable service La Bettola Di Terroni has you covered! The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious.
For a great experience, order yourself a bottle of wine and start with the ‘Tavoliere Del Giorno’ a delicious assortment of meat and cheese. After you’ve devoured that I would suggest going with their specialty the ‘Chitarra Norcina’ which is done perfectly ‘al denté’. To finish up a great experience order their Corretto Espresso which will leave you all warm for your trip home.
Carbonara and bolognese were extremely tasty, slightly too salty. Smendozzata pizza was deliciously balanced, but the crust left much to be desired. I understand the middle being slightly doughy, and the crust being thin, but as I cut into it, it felt like I was cutting through the toppings with nothing underneath. I prefer Libretto's crust.
I don't understand why this company insists on discourteous service. The gentleman serving us stuck his nose up at me a few times: 1. When I couldn't remember the name/how to pronounce of the beers; 2. After ordering our dishes, he made it sound like we ordered poorly ("Don't fill up on bread, there's a lot of food coming"). Actually, that last comment really did make me think twice and raised my expectations on the portion sizes when in fact we finished all three dishes without effort; 3. Informing us of our limit of 2 hours at the door.
With all their talk about "authentic Italian", you'd think they'd embrace all parts of Italian dining (extremely friendly, one-of-the-family type atmosphere, and the fact that dining is a social sport in Italy, one that can last for hours into the night).
