Ayesha and I were supposed to eat at Sofi last night, but it was cold and no one was there so she suggested the new Italian spot Terroni. Inside we found brick walls, intimate wood booths for two and a bustling bar area with hundreds of wine selections. They don't take reservations, but we scored a table right away. The service was perfect. I had the speck, marinated mushrooms and fontina panini, which came with a generous side salad ($10.95). There's also bresaola, calamari alla griglia, plenty of salads, uncut pizzas like they do it in Italy and of course the pastas (14 total). It was raining last night, but they also have outdoor cafe seating. I am definitely going back.
