My, My, My, My Terroni

Terroni Opens

You’ve had it your way: no onions; hold the cilantro; go light on the mayo; add avocado; dressing on the side; rare to wellish; and extra extras, please.

Now have it Terroni’s. The traditional Southern Italian spot — a standard in Toronto — opens its L.A. outpost today. Founder Cosimo Mammoliti teamed with wine expert Max Stefanelli and Shereen Arazm (Shag, Parc) to create the joint, which features walls of exposed brick lined with more than 200 handpicked bottles, butcher block tables, and vintage chandeliers.

Pull up an Eames chair and mange house specialties like Natalina Pizze with tomato, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, Calabrese salami, garlic, and olives; or Spaghetti al Limone with spinach, capers, parmigiano reggiano, lemon, and extra virgin olive oil.

And accept no substitutions.

These guys sure won’t.

Terroni, 7605 Beverly Boulevard, at North Curson Avenue, Mid-City West (323-954-0300).
