Il Pittore Competitors

Our mission at Gruppo Terroni has always been to bring authenticity and tradition to all the dishes on our menu. To do this, we emphasize the simplicity and quality of the ingredients we import from Italy. Materia prima, or the raw material, is the soul of our kitchen. We don’t cut any corners when it comes to materia prima and we never will. When it comes to tradition, we want to keep it going. While we stay true to time honored recipes and methods, we continue to evolve and innovate with time. Terroni first opened in 1992 as a humble storefront selling a few specialty items from Italy, with four barstools, a Gaggia coffee machine and some panini made to order. Cosimo and Paolo, two Italian-Canadians with a southern Italian background, opened this business because they wanted to share a slice of the real Italy with their hometown. After a rocky first year, surviving also thanks to a popular foosball table, they invested in a second-hand pizza oven. 30 years later Cosimo has ten unique Terroni, Sud Forno and Spaccio locations in Toronto and Los Angeles along with Stock T.C in collaboration with Cumbrae’s and Porta, Toronto’s first Italian meal delivery service. At the mark of our 30th anniversary, we look back at those first days and we take in the incredible growth we have experienced with immense gratitude. A lot has evolved since then, but after 30 years, the objective remains the same: to deliver a food experience worthy of the generations that came before us. As much an ideology as a restaurant, our core values of staying true to tradition are a testament to our longevity. In a world of constant change, this will continue to guide us through the next 30 years of Terroni.
