Terrone

This restaurant has the potential to be 5 star. But there needs to be some improvement in their execution. The staff was very friendly. I got there before my party and sat at the bar. The bartender was very personable. I have no problem with the service except that everyone at out table of 6 got their food except me. Apparently there was a problem with a printer so the kitchen didn’t cook my pizza until I pushed the wait staff a few times. Also had to ask a few times for a drink to get delivered. Then we ordered desert and it was slow to come out. Like I said this restaurant has a lot of potential. Great location in LIC. Friendly staff. Food was okay. Not great but okay for the price. Very kid friendly. They got to make their own pizzas! Just need to tighten up the connections.

We arrived early in the evening, the place was quiet and lovely. Service was attentative, the salad was refreshing and pizza gourmet was exceptionally tasty. We enjoyed our dinner there.

Pizza is excellent. Pasta dishes are also very very nice. Staff is friendly. Cool bar area. Atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable. Very accommodating staff. And the owner Christiano is just lovely. They also have great events like croissant classes or pizza and pasta making so check the website. Outdoor seating in the summer is also really really nice. One of the few places with elegant and civilized outdoor seating with incredible city views.

Very quiet cozy date night spot. Gorgeous city views with such lovely friendly service. Food was so fresh and taste was amazing. 👌😍

Not too much to say when everything is just so perfect. The place interior is very modern, luxurious with clean finish. The atmosphere is very intimate. The staff were super friendly and they are Italian and were so nice to take the time and make genuine recommendation from the rich, and full of options menu. The food is unbelievably delicious, made with so much care to every last detail. It was truly the best Italian food I had in my entire life. Prices were very reasonable. Will 100% come back again to try everything from that menu. LOVE , LOVE, LOVE, mmmmmmm! If you don’t come here, you are missing on a lot! Update May, 2025: This rating is sadly going down to one star. I went again for the second time after less than a year and it’s like I was in a completely different restaurant. The food was terrible, prices were higher, and the service was extremely slow. It was obvious that food was cooked by someone who is not a professional, it was cooked with no care or passion, one of the pastas was literally plain and with no flavor. Even the table next to me, they made complaints and returned some of their dishes. I will not come back again and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Stay away. P.S: photos are from my first visit and the food looked NOTHING like this on my second visit.

Amazing atmosphere. Amazing staff. So warm, inviting, great service, beautiful food. Anyone wondering whether to go , this is your sign to go NOW! It has become an absolute favorite of mine. The staff is so sweet and attentive- Especially Enzo! He is the cherry on top to the entire experience of dining there. Make your reservations now! The eggplant dish is one of my favorites and I get it every time I go! The salads are so clean and fresh as well. Just tried a zucchini pasta and oh my goodness!! Heaven on a plate. So beautiful, light, delicate yet robust- it’s a new favorite for sure. And don’t come without getting their focaccia bread please. You might as well order a whole one if you’re getting anything other than pizza.

Delicious food, relaxing ambiance indoors, great views outdoors. Maria, our server was lovely and her recommendations were the best part! Would definitely come back.

I have been here for dinner and cooking classes and always leave full of carbs and wine. The perfect combo. The owner is from Italy and also owns the gelato shop next door (which is excellent). Portions are large so the price point may seem high but you’re getting a decent quantity of food. Everything is also fresh and fast!

Nice ambience with good food. Hubby and I had dinner here for the 1st time recently and we were not disappoint. First off I like the intimate vibe which is good for date night, service was good as well. For starter we shared the Prosciutto E Mozzarella which was refreshing. On the entrees, hubby had the Linguine alla Nerano and I opted for Tono in Crosta Tuna in pistachio crust & lemon sauce. It was a delicious dinner and we want to come back to try their pizza.

Many delicious meals! Within the past week or so I have been here twice with friends for lunch. Everything was so good, including the wine. I live in the neighborhood and stared going to Terrone when they were making delicious pizza in an oven outside while the restaurant was being created. Christiano, the owner, is so gracious. As the weather gets warmer I look forward to many brunches, drinks in their outside area, and lots of great food!

I felt completely at home because to the well-thought-out interior, which combined contemporary elements with cozy elements. The cuisine was equally great, exquisitely prepared, and remarkable. The employees truly cared about making sure I had the greatest experience and were kind and attentive.

The food was tasty and the service was great . I have had better Italian dishes so probably wouldn't return here based on food alone but the ambiance is nice .

Waterfront dining ( indoor and terrace) at LIC. Great open and airy ambiance, tried octopus salad and margarita pizza; both good. Pet friendly dining (outdoor patio tables only, not the lounge area). Since my first visit, visited 2 additional times. It's a casual relaxing dining for residents living in the area. They use brick oven, so if you don't like slight burnt dough on your pizza, this place may not be for you.

I went to Terrone a few weeks ago with a few friends and my 11-month-old son. The restaurant is nice and open, with a good amount of tables. There's a nice seating / waiting area when you enter. The restaurant is on the newer side, and service was very bad. There was only one server and approximately 10 busboy types, who did not approach the table and who all looked very unsure of themselves. It took forever for us to get a high chair for my son, forever to have our order taken, and forever to pay our bill. This is definitely a serious issues that needs to be worked out. We got a Regina Margherita Pizza (red) and a Mushroom Pizza (white). Both were pretty good -- Neopolitan style, which isn't my favorite, but they were made nicely. Both had ample cheese, which I enjoyed. I would order either of these pizzas again. We also got a salad, which was not memorable. I had an okay experience at Terrone. The food wasn't bad, but the service was really poor, and it needs to be worked out.

Terrone is my new favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. I am not sure what I love more their brick oven pizzas or their pastas, both are incredibly delicious. I am looking forward to working my way through their menu. I love how spacious and comfortable their outdoor seating is, the view is gorgeous. And they have great wine options to accompany their delicious dishes. They have a new lunch special that allows you to taste most dishes on the menu. I am definitely looking forward to trying it out.

Ahhhh! Sucks because I know they opened recently but I felt that the food was a bit bland. The burrata salad was seemingly undressed, I had to concoct my own vinaigrette to go on top. And the margherita pizza average at best! I liked the crust, the sauce was good, but generally I felt that the fior di latte cheese was less good/creamy compared to all the other margs I've had in NYC. Maybe I'm not the expert, but something seems different from the Fornino/motorino/etcs...idk. I'd come back and try other dishes though, and loved the ambiance/service!

Amazing Neapolitan pizza & Great Authentic Italian Pasta + drinks = a great time with the family. Service was excellent and on point. Ambiance is clean, modern and friendly with a fantastic city view.

While I do agree with the review below in that there are still a few "we just opened" kinks to be worked out... I genuinely like the team here (also responsible for Santa Chiara, one of my favorite cafes) and they have been overly apologetic for any issues (forgotten items, etc). Go in with an Italian mindset, not an American one... just enjoy the experience This is my 4th time at Terrone... and they just opened 3 weeks ago lol. The pizza is really tasty... as is the burrata plate. Drinkwise- I have only had the wine but there is a classic drink menu available too. Emiliana was my favorite pizza so far. My friend is vegetarian so they made half meat free for her:) The pistachio tiramisu was amazing!! Do it, you won't regret it.

We wanted to try this place because it was right next to our apartment, but it was honestly very mid. It's a cute spot and in a great location by the water, but the food lacked. My friend and I shared the Burrata Salad and the Diavola Pizza. The salad lacked flavor and could've really used a balsamic glaze or something. The pizza was not bad and overall had good ingredients but nothing special compared to all the great pizza you can get in the city.

Disappointing overall. Very mid. The rice in the rice balls was definitely Uncle Ben's, the pizza was soggy, and the pasta was undercooked. The server insisted it was al dente--trust me, I know what al dente is, and that wasn't it. But it looks very nice.

Although brand new to the LIC waterfront, Terrone is in pre-opening mode, Italian menu already had lots of items 86'd. The (person) who took our order missed some key details, but modified the final bill to make up for the mistake. Much work to be done (sorry, I come with 30 years of guest service/dining experience), but I think this place could be a good Italian spot. Pizza was good, not great (shared, element missing). Salad was delish! Other app never showed - saw it though upon leaving and sad I missed it. Offerings/suggestions from staff non-existent - they need to know the menu and be able to talk about it/sell it. Water type Nd drinks options never offered. No drinks menu available - but full bar seemed visible/available to order from. Decor interesting; upscale atmosphere with fancy marble tables and bar counter seating and wall accents. Seating at bar with fancy (brass?) high chairs - could be interesting. Lounge area as you enter off Center Blvd. on left also interesting with potential fireplace for 'effect' with great comfy green low chairs. Looking forward to going back once they get their groove on as the neighborhood begins to explore this new dining option. I wish them the best - just missed the presence of (ownership) in the space as this is the most important time to get feedback from the first guests. Staff seemed misguided and not confident.

Loved stopping by the newly opened Terrone for an appetizer and drink. Great service and bartender. Perfect ambiance. Will definitely be back to have dinner. Highly recommend.

Hands down the absolute "Best Pizza in LIC" if you love brick oven thin crust authentic Italian pizza you are in for a treat. My wife and I have been waiting for this place to open up and has not disappointed at all. The owner Chris introduced himself and took his time to really get to know us. I absolutely love this place so much!!! Perfect rating!!!

I regret to leave just a 2-star rating for this establishment. The restaurant is beautiful, and the food is outstanding--perhaps one of the best pizzas in New York. However, the service was so poor that we couldn't wait to leave. Our waiter was rude, lacked knowledge, and showed no interest in his job. The manager was also discourteous we made a reservation for outside and our table was given to a walk in so we had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. When we tried to order an extra drink from him, he refused and said it was the server's responsibility. ( the server took 20 min to come to take our drink order and we waited other 20 min to get the drink on the table ! ) It's unfortunate because the food was truly amazing. This place is like a Ferrari driven by a new licensee--so much potential, but severely hampered by inadequate service

Great service. Good food. Wanted a quick bite to eat. It was a rainy day and this place was just off the ferry. The place is nice, bathroom way too dark. All in all I will go back.

Food was great! True Neapolitan pizza. Lots of potential for LIC which has always been a pizza dessert. Staff still need some work. Our drinks arrived after the appetizer and took a long time.

Had the best birthday dinner here. Went with the bar tasting menu and it did not disappoint! Service and ambiance was on point as well! Can't wait to come back and try the full tasting menu. The best in LIC

We love the Real Italian Pizza !! OMG the Gourmet Pizza with scisors !! Italian style !! We ordered patate pizza and Emiliana pizza !! FANTASTIC PIZZA !!!

What a waste of space. The outside tables are from dollar store along with the service. You can't get a drink let alone even order food. They have no variety of liquor, the poorest quality. They will not last the summer.

Really bad service, pizza is great but not good enough to justify prices for incompetence. Really basic stuff just not done at all- Forgot things, water, couldn't talk about the menu or make recommendations. We asked about a specific cheese with a complicated name"what's this?" "Cheese". Yeah. I needed to hear that it's cheese at a pizza place. Huge disservice to the chef because the food is great. It's nyc, even for the neighborhood there is no excuse for a complete lack of basics. You should charge half until you hire a front office manager, just leaving a bad taste in peoples mouth now.

Recensione in italiano per gli italiani che cercano una pizza fatta a dovere ad un prezzo onesto per NYC. Personale cortese e professionale, ottimi prodotti e posizione strategica sull'acqua. Consigliatissimo.

I was here yesterday and the food was excellent. The service was also really good and fast

I love their pizza! Big fan of their appetizer and salad menu as well. They also have a "make your own" kid's pizza menu, where they bring dough, tomato sauce and cheese for kids to make, then put them in the oven for the kids. My kids had a blast!

Nice ambience and tasty authentic food with good attentive service. Kids like to make their own pizza. Authentic Speck from Alto Adige region!

Incredibly loud restaurant in the area. Outdoor dining consistently has loud children running around or birthday parties with loud drunk guests. Everyone working there was nice. But bad service, maybe it'll improve as the restaurant gets established. Food is alright, but i wouldn't come back again. Kinda bland and uninspiring. Rats running across the courtyard outside was just icing on the cake. Recommend sticking to the nicer places near Vernon Blvd.

Third time was not the charm. I will preface this by stating that the pizza is EXCELLENT but unfortunately the terrible service far outweigh the quality of the food. The wait staff is awful. Slow, inattentive and rude. The managers I have dealt with have been zero help and on a few occasions, rude to the staff in front of customers. The cocktails are substandard and take forever to come out. On two occasions, the pizza came out before the drinks! Outrageous. I would not even trust a carry-out order. There are plenty of welcoming and attentive pizza establishments in the neighborhood that are better deserving of business. Hard pass.

No olive brine in dirty martini's - kids chicken nuggets are just a piece of grilled chicken- branzino tasted super fishy bathroom had no toilet seat. After paying the bill we noticed we were charged for the returned martini worst restaurant in lic!!

Manga baby, this spot is a vibe. Brought me back to italy. Love the food and the drinks and the ppl

We had the misfortune of having Thanksgiving dinner at Terrone. We made reservations. The restaurant called and asked what time we would come. We said 6:15. But when we arrived, there was no table for us. So they suggested we "get started" at the bar. We ended up having our entire dinner there. We never were seated. That was bad enough. But if the food had been good, we could've dealt with not getting a table. But the meal was terrible. Antipasti were two tiny stuffed mushrooms and something wrapped in burnt bacon. Next, a vellutata of zucca with burnt guanciale. Followed by a tasteless pizza. Followed by an even worse pasta course, more like bad Mac 'n cheese than Italian pasta. An Italian man seated next to us at the bar said to the woman he was with, "la pasta e' Americana non Italiana." Followed by dry, tasteless turkey with a dollop of stuffing and cold Brussels sprouts. Dessert was a cold and unappetizing pumpkin mousse. The manager apologized to us for not seating us at a table.She offered us a free meal. But no grazie. Why would we want to come back, free or not? This, BTW, was the third disappointing experience with this place. Three strikes, and you're out. Terrone supposedly is a Neapolitan restaurant. I'm of (half) Neapolitan descent and I've eaten many times in Napoli. If Terrone were in Napoli, it'd be out of business in a week.

Pizza is amazingly delicious but service is bad. Weird mismatch of a fancy restaurant but without any attentiveness from staff (no filling water, delayed and missing items, etc)

Phenomenal pizza, amazing service, best Italian food I've had in the city. The staff was amazing and the service was impeccable.

just an "ok" place, glad we walked over to Santa Chiara after for gelato, which made up for the underwhelming meal at Terrone. overall, the food lacked flavor / seasoning.. had to ask for salt and pepper to put on my octopus salad, and even then it wasn't that good. salads overall were not seasoned, barely any evoo... not a drop of balsamic, citrus.. nothing. the branzino was cooked really well and the flavor was good, but the eggplant / zucchini that came on a bed un undressed lettuce was disappointing. arancini was tasty, as long as you smear it in the sauce and cheese used to decorate the plate, otherwise, pretty dry. ordered 3 appetizers, 1 main, 2 glasses of wine + 1 spritz, and a macchiato (which they serves with Splenda - the horror!! (lol), and the bill was $200.. overpriced / underwhelming.. not a good combo. service again was just "ok".. 1 server for a sunday afternoon is not enough. ambiance is whatever.. nothing ultra special, the views are nice.

Terrone is one of the most unique and overlooked gems of the 5 boroughs. Right as you walk into the place, you are taken back by the beautiful decor and warm environment. Panning the restaurant, you are greeted with golds and earthy tones that provide you with a sense of relaxation. The lively conversations and happy smiles that I witnessed have proved to compliment the personality of this place. All staff seemed delighted to be there and made it known that they were at my service. I was able to speak with the owner, who was one of the most genuine and kind people that exist. The icing on the cake was the phenomenal food. The menu has such a variety that makes it difficult to pick one item. The octopus salad was beyond refreshing. It completely isolated my mind from the blazing heat. My Emiliana pizza was nothing like anything I've ever had. Not only was it delicious, but it stood out in comparison to every other pizza place. Bravo!!!
