Yes this was a week of revisiting restaurants which we had already been to, and as Terrone is the favourite of some of our friends, we have now been there several times.
We do have to cross the entire country, but provided that we are referring to mine and not to my wife’s, this remains very much in the feasible.
This is another establishment that continues to offer us excellent meals and service all round. We have never had a bad dish there, let alone a bad meal. It offers Italian cuisine with a lot of flair, sophistication and difference to the often basic boring trattoria stuff you find elsewhere.
Their menu is packed with interesting and tasty items which are always perfectly presented and equally delicious to the palate.
I had tuna tartar which was lovely. Perhaps very slightly heavy on the coriander for my own personal taste, but this is a rather subjective comment. As I was in the mood for a pasta, for mains I took their spaghetti with sardines, which was presented with an intricate and complex sauce which I thoroughly enjoyed.
We missed good old Irish Tom, who always served us well, but who alas has returned to his native Emerald Isle, however the service was still top notch and very well executed.
It is lovely to see that consistency can and does exist in certain places. If I had to make just one small suggestion, I would recommend that along with the exclusively local and Italian wines, even the smallest of selection be added from say one or two additional countries of origin. I fully appreciate that this is an Italian restaurant, by why should wine be any different to spirits, for example. We had gin upon arrival and cognac at the end, which took nothing away from the authenticity and style of the Italian cuisine.
Terrone is a great place all round. It is always a pleasure returning there time and time again.
