    We hosted a team dinner at Terun recently. Logistically, the setup works well as there’s a decent-sized parking lot right behind the restaurant, and they offer outdoor seating with heaters, which is great during the winter months. Johani was our host for the evening, and he did an amazing job throughout. He was attentive, thoughtful, and professional, and handled the table well. A small but very appreciated detail: when I ordered dessert to go, he kindly packed the fresh berries separately from the panna cotta so the liquid wouldn’t make it soggy a level of care that didn’t go unnoticed. Unfortunately, the evening didn’t start on the best note. One of the first dishes brought out farro and calamari had a housefly in it, which was clearly off-putting. To their credit, the staff replaced the dish promptly, but it wasn’t the best way to kick off a team dinner. This was a two-course meal plus dessert. First course: Brussels sprouts – decent, nothing standout Calamari – good in flavor, though the earlier incident impacted the experience Baked cauliflower – about 3.5/5 from the table Grilled romaine – a table favorite and one of the better dishes Second course: Terùn pizza – my pick, and a solid 4/5 Tricolore pizza, rigatoni, and pollo piccante – feedback from the team put these at around 3/5 Dessert: Caramel gelato with salt and olive oil – very good and well balanced Tiramisu – classic and satisfying (takeaway item and not part of the dinner) Lemon panna cotta with fresh berries – light, refreshing, and nicely done, with thoughtful packaging for takeaway (takeaway item and not part of the dinner) Overall, Terun has a nice ambiance, convenient location, and excellent service, but the food execution was inconsistent, and the early hygiene issue set an unfortunate tone. With better consistency, this could be a much stronger dining experience.

    Grilled salad, I was like what? She was like, yeah grilled lettuce it's good, and it was real good :) I liked. Then doubled down with the beats salad and that was just pleasant. Had a couple of pizzas and the Margarita was spot on and it was the best one out of the two. Nice place, employees are very nice as well as the host and the manager, they are all there making sure it was perfect so thank you for that. Eat there.

    The reviews are true! This is a great spot to grab a dinner on a date night or with your family. Lots of outdoor seating, too, We were greeted by a hostess who sat us right away. You can park in the lot a couple of minutes away. Delicious pizzas, pastas, and appetizers. We had the magherita and nduja pizza. Loved the heat. We were concerned about time because we needed to catch a show, but the food came out promptly. Our server, Gaby, was attentive and friendly. They have a solid selection of Italian wines, by the glass and bottle, as well as cocktails and beers. You HAVE to try their house made limoncello!! So good- on par with limoncello I’ve had in Italy. We didn’t get to try the dessert, but will have to next time we return. Keep this place pinned in your places to check out!

    Unreal. The gnocchi is top notch. The bufala mozzarella pizza was crisp, light, and tasty. We got the vegetariana with burrata. Best burrata we ever had, period. And the veggies were cooked really well. The sangria rossa was lightly sweet, fruity and refreshing. Service was quick and attentive. Fantastic dining experience. Overall, an amazing place that we definitely will be returning to.

    We went today and the experience was fabulous. As Italian food lovers , we can assure you that everything from the Chef's antipasto to the house dessert carries a unique flavor of Italian cuisine. Each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and handcrafted. We will definitely be back.

    Ordered Uber eats - pizza, pasta and a salad. Pizza and pasta were for individual, not a family portion. Taste fine but extremely small portions for the $100 I paid for this meal for me and my kids. Ridiculously overpriced for what we received.

    Recommended by my friends and we sat in the outside tent which was surprisingly comfortable. We had a few appetizers which were very good. The signature pizza was definitely the highlight with the spicy pepperoni! I will definitely come back for this pizza!

    It's a good Italian restaurant, on the main street, easily accessible and capable of serving excellent meals. I took a pizza, and it was very close to Italian taste, with a soft crust and correct seasoning. My colleagues ordered a pasta dish and gave me good feedback. The staff is also very kind: despite not having booked, they accepted a large group of people by changing the layout of the tables. Therefore I promote this place and would return.
