Terroni: 99 Essential Restaurants 2011

Comments (0) By Jonathan Gold Thursday, Nov 10 2011

Isn't this the place with the foosball? If I were associated with Terroni, I'd probably be getting angry about now. Because while the Italian restaurant may refuse to put herbs in its olive oil, to allow Parmesan to be sprinkled on its linguine alle vongole, or to cut its pizza into wedges no matter how sorrowfully you beg, nobody seems to notice. Ban ketchup, and the world screams. Force a 25-year-old man to cut his own pizza with a steak knife, and not even Yelp finds it significant.

More About

Terroni is one of the few restaurants in Los Angeles where you actually hear Italian spoken by both customers and cooks, and the Southern-style pastas are often very good, including possibly the first L.A. appearance of spaghetti ca'muddica, a Sicilian pasta a little like spaghetti alla puttanesca enriched with toasted breadcrumbs. But Terroni specializes in stretched-crust pizzas — skinny, crunchy most of the way through and topped with things like broccoli rabe and crumbled sausage; Gorgonzola, honey and walnuts; or plain old mozzarella and tomato sauce. No substitutions are permitted. 7605 Beverly Blvd., Fairfax District. (323) 954-0300, terroni.ca. Sun.-Thurs., 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-mid. Full bar. Valet parking. AE, MC, V. Italian.
