"This long-standing Greenville Italian destination opened in 1985. Come by for some famous “Italchos” or Italian nachos, a pizza chip with red sauce and cheese, and the entire menu section dedicated to bruschetta. It’s also a great brunch stop — things aren’t entirely Italian on that menu but are yummy." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn

garlic knots amazing!!! OH EM GEE!!! Practice self control if you can!!! The italchos were good but I think next time I'll do build your own I had the Smoked Chicken Ravioli but got it with their truffle cream sauce instead and it was delicious. Upgraded my side to Lobster bisque for a charge. Very lacking in Lobster flavor. i'm not sure i even got one chunk of lobster- so it's like if theres NO CHUNKS OF LOBSTER then at least make it taste like lobster please. My dinner mates enjoyed their Creamy Tuscan Chicken. This particular night was not what I would call actual jazz. It was more so 70s and 80s hits sung with just a piano. Not complaining just not what i wanted to hear that night. Great service as well. I would def return to this place to try something else.

We celebrated my little brother’s birthday here, it was great! We enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The service was exceptional.

Just had a horrible dining and service experience here. Went to celebrate a friend’s birthday and definitely felt like I will never return. The one highlight was the crab claws; they were very tasty and cooked so very well. Even though they had to prepare them twice (they prepared them with cheese) they were prompt and apologized for the mistake). After we ate our appetizer, the waitress took our order. From the time we ordered till the food arrived, it took 41 minutes. The neighboring table (a lovely couple from San Antonio) came in shortly after we had appetizers and had their meals before ours. Even the waitress was confused. I asked to speak to “Jerry” the manager, he came over and told me, seafood takes longer to prepare. The orders were lobster and shrimp. He was literally trying to pick a fight with me. I didn’t comment on his seafood takes longer, but I noted to him his lack of concern. He responded well I can stop the food from coming out if that’s what you want. I was celebrating a friend’s birthday and didn’t want to cause a scene but as you can imagine I was really upset. All he had to do was take accountability. The food arrived and my order was still incorrect (I ask for light sauce due to dairy sensitivity). I let them know and it came back almost the exact same. I scraped the sauce and it was less than flavorful - nothing like the crab claws from earlier. We also asked for silverware, they never arrived. The couple next to us literally got up and brought us silverware from an empty table. It was just a terrible display of service and quality. I added the video of the overcooked lobster. It was so incredibly tough. This Jerry guy is definitely not a reflection of the old Terilli’s that welcomed everyone and you left with good food and a great experience. I can easily say, I will never return.

Forever a neighborhood staple on Lower Greenville. A true family owned business that never disappoints. The food is brilliant, the service is phenomenal and the Terilli family are an incredible asset to the community. Will forever be a frequent diner.

Wow, service was off the wall! Marcos as our primary server,but everyone took care of us and our party! The martinis are to legit! Cucumber Tini was refreshing, Lavender one is a bit sweet, but still good! Pomegranate was simple, but definitely my fav. Apps were all solid portions, calamari brushetta and the Garlic Board. Was enough for sharing and we had a party of 6! Mains - all amazing! Big portions too, so be prepared! Meat lasagna is #1 for me, with the chicken Parm a close contender. Chicken Terrelli is also a great option. Desserts were amazing, the Key Lime pie is a must, I know we were full, but glad we sacrificed to have it! Well done!

Delicious dinner with great atmosphere. The live music on Friday night was a nice touch. Our server Rachel was very attentive.

Started with some brunch drinks. They have a few really good flavors and they drinks that came out were pretty. Perfect for a girl brunch. We started with the crab claw. They were French in butter and seasoning and prepared in such a way that you can quickly enjoy them. There are no tools to mess with. Then we had pasta and the italchos- so much flavor in every ingredient. The italchos were build on top of a flavored chip- it made for a really good base. From there you can pick your ingredientsz the dollops of goat cheese is highly recommended!!! I would definitely go back

If you asked me a month ago I would say 5 stars and be so excited to tell everyone and their mother about this place. Well on today Dec.14 The manager Jerry was not as expected when I think of a manager handling an apparent issue with a repeat customer. We always come here and spend wayyyy tooo much money and I would tempt you with photos of the food but I will not provide FREE advertising for a place that is not free of discrimination. We walked in because there were no reservations available online and we were shopping in the area, I called and was told to arrive before 6:30 & we would be able to take a walk in table. We walked in at 6:16 and the place was packed, we were okay with that and expected a wait. The hostesses said 1hr - 90min wait and I suggested outside as their were 3 empty tables and she walked out to check and said 20 mins as there is a table that will be getting up as they paid their tab. I agreed and went for a walk with my husband and children only to return 40 min later to inquire why I didn't receive a text that the table was ready. The hostess says "there are 7 tables before you" and I was confused due to the fact that I was JUST told that we were next 40 min ago. The manager Jerry jumps in and says "wait times are estimated " and I just walked out. My husband LOVES this place and asked to go back inside to ask for a manger. We head back in and asked for a manager & she says "you can't have your hat on " to my husband, Mind YOU a man with his family of a different race was there with the actual same cap on eating that my husband had on . I've never been treated like this in a place I've frequent AND that isn't cheap AT ALL. My husband went outside with the manager to discuss and I decided I wasn't hungry anymore as I can't fathom spending money somewhere that doesn't value me as a person and my family. This WAS our family GO TO for family night out dinner and when we have out of town guest visit. NEVER AGAIN My blood is boiling due to the way we were handled and dismissed with no regard to the caliber of people we are who are loyal, honey, trustworthy and more . Try at your own risk The END NEVER AGAIN

Need to sit at a table next time, just at the bar this time. Bartenders were very busy. Once I sat, water was poured. Eventually received a drink and a food menu. Both requests came out quickly. They were busy in the restaurant too! Food was warm and tasty. Crab cake was good. Not a lump crab cake but a good crab cake. Bruschetta was nice. Cheese bread with small Roma type tomatoes cut n half n top. They kept falling off but no worries. Ambiance was a little loud but kinda perfect for the size and number of patrons.

Night over night & year after year my favorite Italian in Dallas. I've been a regular of Terilli's since the mid '90s and through living in 3 other states. I keep coming back and my friends are always excited to join me. From the pre-fire days (I have a brick) of Mikey behind the bar and the Spyro Gyra inspired live jazz-fusion music to the rebuilding, second floor and rooftop, Terelli's is family with delicious food and excellent service. While I live the bar for date night there's no bad seat in the house. Start off with a martini and find a wine from their excellent selection. Need help? No problem. The staff can help. To start there is the original and widely talked about Italchos $12.50 but those in the know will order the Crab Claws sautéed in white wine garlic butter (perfect for bread knot dipping) @$Market Price. One half pound is perfect for two. I've never had a bad meal with my favorites being the Chicken Marsala $25, the thick and meaty Lasagna $27 with its Italian sausage, slow roasted brisket (huge portion and excellent cold the next morning for breakfast), but the all time most eaten is the Chicken Terilli $25 with the red sauce. Light and delicate you'll come back for this dish time after time. I do. Worth nothing all these come with a salad. I suggest the Classic Caesar and ask for anchovies (for an up charge). A last minute single night at the bar, date night at sunset on the roof, or gathering your friend together for an evening filled with laughter, Terelli's will not disappoint.

Oh my gosh! I haven't had a food this good in forever. Our server was amazing and helped us choose the best things on the menu. If you go, you HAVE to try the Italian nachos! You can mix and match your own toppings. We got shrimp and crab and Parmesan sauce. It was soooo good! Also the different martinis are delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

The first time in my life a restaurant brings me bread (with oil n vinegar) and the bread taste so good I want the recipe. It's soft n chewy and garlicky delicious. For an appetizer I started with 1/2 pound of those wonderfully amazing crab claws. Hands down will bring friends back n get a pound. I agree with the other reviews in that service is lacking!!!!! Or they pick and choose who they want to be attentive to. They also need a full time barback so the bartenders can pay more attention to the customer. (My 2 cents) For an entree I opted for the chicken Marsala. It was good but a bit on the sweet side for me. I went ahead and order the chicken piccata and had my first entree boxed as I the sweetness from the dish wasn't what I wanted today. The chicken picatta was more depressing then the first entree I had. The flavors all muted, I'm done. Maybe because it's Tuesday or I ordered the wrong thing but two entrees basically down the drain. Based on the entrees alone I wouldn't come back it's gonna be more like a grab a few appetizers and head someone else for dinner; 4 me. $150 tab for 2 entrees that' will b trashed. Lesson learned.

I picked Terilli's for my birthday dinner with my husband this year and am so glad I did. It's our favorite Italian restaurant in Dallas and my husband comes from a large Italian family so he's very picky when it comes to Italian food. We had a great accommodations and our waiter was very attentive. Our food came out promptly and we received a beautiful dessert for further celebration. The piano playing at night made it a very romantic atmosphere as did the mocktail I ordered as I'm pregnant currently. We cannot wait to go again for another date night.

My parents have been raving about this place for a few years now. We decided to go for my bday dinner and boy was I happy. They only take reservations! They have an upstairs area that is only open Thursday - Sunday. We went on a wedn and couldn't sit there. It was busy on a wedn! We got 5:15 reservations because there was nothing else available until 7:30. We had garlic bread and Italian nachos as apps. Woo - loved them both! Both are a must try. For my main I got the lobster ravioli. It was very odd because my first bite was very fishy so I was kind of like ehh but then after that I didn't taste that fishy taste at all. It is in a truffle cream sauce. Fabulous. We ended the meal with flan and it was THE best I've ever had. For my bday they also had a house dessert (cake) which was a very sweet surprise.

We truly had an amazing time. Made a reservation for five to celebrate an anniversary. The place was hopping, every table was a party so the room was noisy but bearable. They also had a fabulous piano man playing on and off and his volume was perfect. We started with the cheese italchos appetizer, wonderful twist on nachos and great flavor and every bite. I had the chicken terilli which was very tasty and a decent helping. I don't eat much pasta so I look for the protein to fill me up. The rest of the party all enjoyed their entrées. Torelli even provided an anniversary dessert for the couple. Very nice place that I highly recommend.

Came here for my daughter's 29th birthday and it didn't disappoint. Food was fantastic. We ordered the Classic Bruschetta and Beef skewers. Spot on flavors on both, need skewer melts in your mouth cooked medium rare. With that we ordered Belle Glos red wine--they had 50% off on Tuesday nights; we ended up ordering 2 bottles. For our main dishes which came with house salad with a choice of house dressing or classic caesar, we ordered Capellini Di Angelo, Spinach Ricotta Ravioli and Creamy Tuscan Chicken. They were all fantastic, flavors and portions were just right. Service was awesome. Our server Luis Irigoyen was fantastic from beginning to end. Explained the different sauces used in pasta dishes. Very knowledgeable of the menu, both food and wine/liquor. The place has a very nice ambience, cozy and intimate. I see a lot of couples on dates. Did I mention there live piano music? We'll definitely be back here especially on special occasions.

Blushing Lady, Rose, Walnut Salad, Bistro Burger, Make your own Pasta, Brown Butter Cake Okay this is a super cute place, the interior is so fantastic and open and airy. We came here for brunch, not really knowing that you can only order off the brunch menu (our bad). The walnut salad was just okay, but pretty fresh, not super flavorful. The Bistro burger was decent, really fresh tomatoes and greens. The customized pasta was alright. The rose was good. The blushing lady cocktail was not tasty and pretty strong (I like really sweet drinks, so this one's on me). The servers are so kind though, and they brought a brown butter cake for my dad's birthday! That cake was delicious. I like the vibes here for brunch, but the dinner menu looks way better imo.

Great food and drinks! Espresso martini with blanco (instead of vodka) was delicious. Staff was super friendly and welcoming and the Terilli's Marsala was amazing, as well as the tiramisu. Highly recommend!

A classic Dallas staple for Italian food! Located in the center of Greenville Ave, it's a great location for a full date night. The apps and martinis are a must. The pastas are also fantastic and come with salads to start. At night they even have a piano player in the front of the restaurant. Perfect for a date or a girls night out.

Haven't been to Terrili's in a long time- really long time. We made reservations for 6:45 on a Friday evening. It is much louder in there than I remember, but again- it's been a while. We ordered cocktails and the crab claws. I should say that we had 3 different servers come by to get a drink order within the first 5 minutes of sitting down, before we had even had a chance to see the menu. Once ordered, the drinks and the crab claws showed up in record time. Before we had eaten even 4 of the claws, she wanted to take our full order. I told her that we were celebrating an anniversary, and I wanted to slow it down a bit. I asked her if there was a reason it felt so rushed and she said very politely that there was an hour and 30 minute limit on the time at the table. Said she was new and she'd tried to adjust. We had another cocktail and ordered our dinners. The salads came out super quick and the entrees showed up before we had gotten through our salads. I get that they want to turn tables, but this was not a relaxing evening celebrating, it was super fast paced. They did bring us out a dessert for our anniversary.... Over all- the service was quick but efficient, but this was not a 5 star experience due to volume and speed. The food ratings are below: Crab claw appetizer- best part of the meal Lobster bisque- good Jalapeño cream soup - better than the bisque House salad with entree- very good Chicken Piccata- a bit bland Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken- bland While I can't say it was a bad experience, being rushed to that degree made it not as nice or relaxed of an evening as we had planned for our anniversary. It has, unfortunately, lost some of its charm for us...

We chose Terilli's to spend our anniversary and we're so happy we did! It was a very romantic, classy atmosphere. Happy hour is from 4pm to 6pm which includes $7.00 martini's. Vodka martini or a Cosmopolitan. We started with the Lobster Bisque. It was very creamy and has really good flavor. No pieces of lobster, but the flavor made up for it. For my entree, I had the lobster fettuccine, which was amazing as it looks! My husband had the spicy chicken penne, which he said was delicious. Service was very prompt and we didn't have to wait for anything. All in all, we have found our new date night place!

One of the best meals I've ever had! Make a reservation if you can because there is was an hour and a half wait for two of us and I'm told that is the norm. We were lucky enough to get a couple of seats at the bar. Service was excellent there. The live music really made for great ambiance. The food was ah-mazing! We ordered the Italchos with crab, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes, basil and Gorgonzola. So good! The crab claws were delicious. And the capellini de Angelo was incredible. Loaded with jumbo lump crab and and huge shrimp. I already want to go back and order the same dishes. We split these between us and still had leftovers.

Absolutely love Terrelis. A lot of seating choices especially for when it's warmer with a roof top bar and patio. A lot of great food choices with a big portions. I had the cheese ravioli and it was excellent. Great service they were very attentive and we were served at a nice relaxed pace.

My first time, and I won't be back. The service was good, and the limonata was delicious, but the food was just ok. I got the smoke chicken ravioli. It was ok, but definitely seemed like it was from the frozen section. I also got the wedge salad. And the dressing was watered down. My daughter got the creamy Tuscan chicken and the calamari. She enjoyed her meal. However, my husband got the Cesar salad which he said wasn't good. He barely ate it. He got the spicy chicken penne it looked bland, and he confirmed that it was. No pictures because nothing was picture worthy in my opinion. I know this place has been around forever, and I'm not sure how it has survived. At least I can say I've tried it, but I won't come back.

Yelp
My friends and I went back here for dinner. Phenomenal!!! As soon as you walk in it doesn't feel like you're on Greenville in Dallas, it's definitely an upscale restaurant. It's dark and moody. Perfect for a girls' night or date night! We had the crab claws as an appetizer, they were so good. We got 1/2 pound but highly suggest getting more if you're a crab person. I got the meat lasagna because I am a lasagna girl! Probably the best lasagna I've ever had at a restaurant. I was upset that I didn't have an leftovers but I definitely will be back, probably like next week for more lol I plan to go back to try all of their dishes because everything looked so good! The service was great, they kept coming back to make sure we were doing well. Our water glass was NEVER empty. They made sure to come get our dirty plates every time we finished a dish. 10/10 restaurant. Highly recommend!

We are visiting family in Dallas and decided to stay home and rest while the family went out to dinner. They brought dinner home to us, and boy are we glad they did. We started with a hearty, fantastic wedge salad with very tasty yet not too heavy gorgonzola dressing. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and hubby had the spinach risotto ravioli. Both were outstanding. We actually licked the containers because we could! We will definitely take a nap and join the family next time they choose to go to Terilli's!

My husband & I visited on a Wednesday at 5:30pm. Great ambiance, valet parking available, and there is bar seating. For drinks, we had Cosmo Martini, Long Island, and Dragon Berry Mojito. Drinks were good & strong! For appetizers, we ordered the calamari fritti and 1/2 cheese - 1/2 garlic bread and both were really good. I was full off the appetizers alone so we only ordered 1 entree which was the Terilli Shrimp Scampi. The pasta and the shrimp were cooked perfectly but lacked a little flavor. The service could've been better as well. Overall, I'd still recommend & I'm definitely going back.

Jerri G.

Yelp
A great place to spend an evening! Piano player, candle light, & delicious food. I had the sea bass with lemon caper sauce over angel hair pasta, Tiramisu, and cafe au lait. Parking is valet and there's a rooftop patio that overlooks downtown. I will definitely be back!

What a way to celebrate a successful work week but with a Friday happy hour on a patio. The weather was perfect. Of course, as president of the geriatric millennials club our reservations were for 4:30 the appetizers never disappoint got so full. I didn't get a chance to eat my food.But on the next day, the sea Bass was 10 out of 10 and highly recommend. Make sure if you go on the weekend that you have areservation they get booked most times.

Okay, so let's get I to it. We are last minute planning a getaway for my sister's 18th birthday. She wants some place nice and Italian. I was so happy to stumble upon this place. We were able to get reservations even with a 5 and 17 month old. Their hostess set the tone. She helped my family up the stairs and got us started on drinks. We got mocktails and they were sooooo tasty. Then we met our server LUIZ. He was BETTER THAN GREAT. Very attentive, knew the menu, took our family photos, personable, and kind. Appetizers: we ordered it all!! Crab claws- I've never had them served warm and honey it was divine. Full of flavor and a great appetizer. They give you PLENTY! My dad shared with the entire gang. Meatballs- soooo flavorful. I think I want to go back and get their spaghetti and meatballs. Ahh just so tasty. Garlic bread- mid for me. Wasn't anything to write home about. Bruschetta- the tomatoes and herbs were so fresh. Salad-- they bring salad before dinner. It's included. Honey that fresh cracked pepper had my sister coughing. just beware. Thr salad dressing was great. I really could have had two of them. So the wait for dinner took a while but they were full on a Saturday night. It didn't feel as long bc we were stuffed from the appetizers and salad. Dinner-- I had the lobster fettuccine. IT was very flavorful, and the lobster was soooo fluffy. I was so full from appetizers that I took it home and ate it the next day.

Good luck trying to get a reservation. I've been here several times and the food is pretty good and a good atmosphere but they make it difficult to make a reservation over the phone, you have to call several times to get someone on the phone and they're extremely rude every time you speak to somebody regarding a reservation. We even tried calling over a week before we were trying to make a reservation and the host told us that they were too busy to let us know if they had any room for a reservation and to call back at a later date because they did not have time to speak to us. A horrible first impression if you have the unfortunate luck of speaking to someone over the phone before you go to the restaurant for the first time.

Terrill's is a classic. Always five stars. Came here for my birthday. I had Italian sausage tortellini, wife had shrimp scampi, & son had Italian nachos. All amazing! Perfect birthday dinner.

Consistency in quality, year after year. Great ambiance that features live piano and a cozy horseshoe bar with the best martinis in town. Never experienced a bad meal or drink, and the service is always top-notch. Menu highlights include: meatballs & marinara, spinach artichoke dip, cream of jalapeño soup, lobster ravioli, shrimp scampi, and sea bass.

Came here tonight for my husbands bday. He wanted Italian and specifically wanted Alfredo, so we decided to try this place out. We pulled up to valet (free, just be sure to bring cash for tip). It's very low lit (which I love), and we were greeted immediately after we sat down. Service declined a bit after we got our food - but overall I'd give it a 7/10 regarding service. We received complimentary garlic knots with olive oil and balsamic - 10/10! We ordered 2 appetizers: Filet skewers Lobster Itachos 2 entrees: Spicy chicken penne Chicken Alfredo (Both served with a Caesar of house salad) My ratings : Skewers 10/10 Lobster Itachos 9/10 Spicy chicken penne 9/10 Alfredo 5/10 The Alfredo was watery. Flavor was decent but I do not do watery Alfredo *thumbs down* I ordered the penne and I had them add some cream sauce to it because it's originally only served with garlic oil - baybeeee I would come back just for this! I liked this place. Worth it!

What. A. TIME!!! I set out to find the perfect spot for a special dinner where the vibe had to be just right--not too loud, not too fancy, yet absolutely had to feature bomb drinks, delicious food, and an atmosphere that is a full on vibe. So, naturally, I decided on Terilli's (duh). And let me tell you, it didn't just check all my boxes; it blew them out of the water. It's rare enough to find a place that ticks all those boxes, but for one to exceed every single expectation? Practically unheard of. And how lucky were we to get the server of the century??? For the minority of those who don't know who I'm talking about, I'm referring to Luis. This guy was the epitome of what every server should aspire to be. Luis was incredibly personable, making us feel comfortable and welcomed as if we were guests in his own home. His attentiveness was unparalleled; we never had to look around hoping to catch his eye. He was always there when we needed him, yet never hovering. Friendly doesn't even begin to cover it--he was engaging, warm, and genuinely interested in making our dining experience memorable. He showered us with the kind of service that would make you want to come back not just for the food and drinks, but for the pleasure of his company. Kudos to Luis, the most commendable server a diner could hope for.

I definitely enjoyed the food here, atmosphere was great, I think the service could be a little better. Parking is free when you valet! It's around the corner. Right when you seat you get free garlic knots and olive oil! Those were pretty tasty. The server was definitely informative I just wished he was more attentive. We waited so long for him to come grab our dinner order after he arrived with our appetizers. I notice a lot of the wait staff congregate by the kitchen area and stand around joking. The calamari wasn't as crispy as I thought it should've been. The warm Brie was amazing though! The pasta was savory , it had all the right flavors! I loved the dessert! It was a fried cheesecake, which there was more! I would def be back to try more.

Marc V.

Yelp
I have been here before food was good previously, this time I went after calling and ensuring that they had no wait. Just to be seated by the bathroom, with a half empty restaurant. Asked to be moved and apparently all the empty tables were reserved and couldn't be sat in. Very disappointed with the managers inability to help the situation and after leaving (after not eating or being served) valet was rude and used the expression " I don't work for the restaurant this is separate" as an excuse for his rude demeanor.

Friend & I decided on this establishment after NOT being accommodated at the Sundown Granada. Well?, A few hours, a very fine fillet mignon with various sides & a pasta dish +2 bottles of red wine later? We had closed the place down!, Still engaged in conversation we didn't feel the least bit rushed as the restaurant buzzed about its closing duties without pushing us in the least bit to "just leave". The place is busy busy busy hopping vibrant full of energy & the staff?, VERY friendly, accommodating & engaging. The hosts were as friendly at (well after) closing as they were when we had gotten there a few hours earlier!. Terilli's used to be a good place before it burned down back in the day & it certainly has resurrected with a zeal plus a commitment to maintaining the spirit that it was originally created with oh so many decades ago!. Just got to bring a suitcase of money but it is the best Italianesqué place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or any other important benchmark of life & accomplishment.... Or just to have a pleasant meal & wonderful conversation with someone else.

This place is amazing! From the ambiance to the food and service. This was my second time here and will definitely be back again. My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner and Isabelle was our server. She was stellar! She was knowledgeable and helped us make decisions with the menu and she was really fun to chat with. We weren't able to sit on the rooftop patio like we wanted since it's only open Thursday-Saturday, but we still had a great dinner on the front patio. I recommend making a reservation because it was packed when we went on a Tuesday night (thankfully we had a reservation). Which is obviously a great sign that everyone wants to come here for delicious Italian food. Also, don't sleep on the crab claws. They were so delicious!

Ambiance & food were both nice, but the service was unparalleled. The servers were all very warm & attentive. We received constant refills, our food was timely, and someone in management walked around checking in with tables to ensure their food & service was up to standard. We also really appreciated that they had free valet parking.

The reason we love Terellis is the food. The service has stepped up since our last visit. But. The most disappointing part of our dining experience was the sound level of the music. Again. It's entirely too loud to enjoy visiting with our dinner guests. If I wanted to sit on my phone , And ignore our conversations it would be fine. Even the background music when the pianist was on break was as if we were at a hip hop concert. Not the kind of music I would expect from a classy restaurant. Hopefully on our next visit this issue will be considered, addressed and resolved.

A wonderful anniversary date! Didn't realize there was a time window to make reservations so we didn't have any for a hot Saturday in August. They sqoze us in but barely! Nice seat along the aisle. Nina W. was our waitress and she spoiled us! They all spoiled us! Nina encouraged us to try the Martinis; Pear Tini and Grapefruit Cosmo. our first martinis and now we're ruined because these are so very good! Nina/Terillis also gave us complimentary dessert and bubbly! Terrefic waitress, wonderful restaurant. High class ambiance, reasonably priced! Side note: parking is not easy. We parked across the side street in the valet parking. We'd forgotten cash but they were gracious though we had no money for tip. Valet is pretty much your only parking option.

We had a great time. The only snafu was that I marked mobility issues and was sat upstairs. Luckily once upstairs, we didn't need to go downstairs, and the manager stopped by to explain they had a new reservation system. Music was great and everyone in my party enjoyed the food. Zach was absolutely amazing...best service I've had in awhile. This is a great restaurant to go with a multigenerational party because of the vintage vibe.

You can never go wrong with Terilli's. Reservations are highly recommended. The wait staff was very attentive, patient and his suggestions were great. The manager walked by a couple of times to check on us. I loved the ambiance. It is good for a romantic date or small group. They can accommodate a large group but the room is very tight. Of course the food was delicious. I recommend the crab claws.

I had the best experience at Terilli's- very elegant/romantic restaurant. They also have valet parking which is so helpful (it does back up, and you may have to wait a little bit). I ordered an espresso martini and they are easily the best ones in Dallas. I also ordered the lobster ravioli- which was amazing! Our server was super witty and fun which made the whole experience even better. The prices are higher but it's perfect for celebrations or fancy dining experiences.

Happy Hour from 4-6pm on selected wines, and martinis for $7. This place gives grown and classy vibes for a nice dinner date. Was greeted very nicely and seated immediately (it's best if you make a reservation because it gets busy very quickly). We didn't order any appetizers, but the main meal I got was the Lobster fettuccine and it was DELICIOUS!! The lobster meat is pretty huge and worth the portion size! Very lite creamy taste with hence of garlic. The lobster ravioli was also great as well stuff with lobster and shrimp meat. I highly recommend these two dishes if you're wanting to try something new.

Had reservations for a Saturday evening. Food was decent... service was slower than a backed up toilet in the winter time. And the next day, the CC I used at this location was used to fraudulently make a $300 purchase on walmart.com. (I didn't use it recently anywhere that I don't normally) To me, it doesn't justify the ratings this place has. It's good, but it feels over-rated for our experience.

The service and ambiance are top tier. While we did sit on the patio the staff was extremely attentive down to asking and remembering our names. The appetizers were really good. I'd likely go back just for those. The entrees were just ok. I've had the same before and really liked it but this day it just lacked flavor. Not a deal breaker at all. This spot is a keeper and we will always go here.

Came here with another couple for a birthday dinner this past week. We all started with drinks. The espresso martini was okay the bubbles drink was tasty. For an appetizer we got the calamari which were very good and I like when it's just the circles and not the full squid's. For our entrees we got the Chicken terilli with tomato cream, roasted chicken ravioli, primavera and the creamy Tuscan chicken. All were very tasty! I'd recommend asking for extra sauce if you're going to have leftovers to take home.the service was a bit subpar unfortunately. They took our empty drinks without asking if we'd like another so we weren't able to order a second round until our food came. The server also spilled some of the espresso martini in the table but didn't get us any extra napkins to wipe it up. Due to the limited Italian restaurants in the city i would come back again if I was in the mood for pasta
