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).
Excellent staff, excellent food, affordable, and super accommodating. I have been to La Bettola so many times I have lost count. As an Italian I feel confident saying that this is the best Italian restaurant in Toronto. The food is simple Italian comfort food with a classy, trendy, twist. The staff is so great, and the chef is even happy to make something off menu that you may be craving if you provide enough notice. Try everything here but especially the orecchiette with peas and sausage.
Perfect when you're craving delicious Italian comfort food. Every kind of their pasta is worth trying, as well as anything dolce. It's featured on my blog as one of the best Italian places in Toronto!
This is a great place for a delicious Italian lunch. Great pizzas and a wonderful selection of desserts. The affogato is a great finish to any meal.
Hands down best Italian food in Toronto. And this is coming from an Italian. Food is fantastic. Service just as good and ambiance is excellent. If you are lucky enough to be there when the orecchiette with sweet peas and Italian sausage is on the special menu, order it. Don't ask questions or doubt it, just order it. Trust me!
Decent food - we had some calamari appetiser a pizza and a salad. They were good but not great. Service was a bit slow. It seemed our waitress was covering a big hall that she couldn't be more attentive.
Great food. The restaurant is great with lots of energy. The service and food were all excellent. Loved it!
Great food, Good Wine. Wonderful authentic Italian food. Great wine choices at decent prices. Knowledgable sommelier that paired our dishes. Portions are decent (not American). Ambiance is O.K. but the lighting was a bit bright. I would not go back due to the clientelle.
This restaurant was one of the restaurants recommended to us by a friend. The food was great especially the cacio e pepe. It’s very hard to find a good one. The waitress was also very nice and accommodating. We ended up ordering again delivery at the hotel but it wasn’t the same branch so I’d keep the 5 stars as they deserve it.
I went here on 14th feb and was amazed by how well organized the place was despite being so busy. The staff was really helpful, polite and friendly. The food was super delicious. Highly recommended place for fine dining!
Went here for a date night to celebrate our five year anniversary. The waitress was amazing, super friendly and attentive. Food was really well made and probably some of the best pasta I've ever found.
Only part that wasn't great was my boyfriend finding a fruit fly in his drink. But the staff immediately took it back and replaced it with no charge.
Amazing service, perfect wine recommendations and the grilled octopus appetizer was the best we have ever tasted! We also recommend the new ravioli entree and the tiramisu for dessert was out of this world!
Great food, very kind and attentive staff and decently accessible (no stairs to the washroom).
Would recommend.
Fabulous food and location. The staff were excellent, a wonderful dining experience.
