As an Italian always desperately trying to find good pizzerias in the USA…. I think I have found my favourite one. Ingredients are fresh and authentic, and the pizza is just SO GOOD! And not heavy at all! Because that’s how a pizza should be: an healthy meal! Definitely worth it, spend all your money there, great Italian food guaranteed.

Recommended Eggplant Poccholette, GnocchiDrink - Passion Sour too Sour which were dominating to the actual passion puree flavour.Appetizer - Lightly breaded in crispy golden crumbs, artfully layered with molten, stringy mozzarella, this decadent “eggplant poccholette”tantalizes taste buds deliciously.The pillowy, sumptuous “gnocchi” are little clouds of potato perfection. These delicate dumplings are rustic yet refined, with a delightfully tender texture.Main course - The iconic “Napoletana pizza” is a masterpiece of balanced simplicity. Topped with bright San Marzano tomatoes, creamy fior di latte mozzarella, fragrant basil, and a glug of robust extra virgin chilly olive oil - it's a harmonious symphony of flavors in every savory bite.“Lasagne” is the pinnacle of Italian comfort food indulgence. With layers of whisper-thin pasta sheets, savory bolognese - it's an incredibly moreish baked masterpiece. A true labor of culinary love. While I am vegeterian, so this was the lookable description of it, imagine the taste!!!Dessert - Tiramisu (egg-licious) melting into the buds.

It was my first time at Terun, and it definitely won't be my last. I'll be going back to try every item on the menu.Parking: Easy. Plenty of street parking and (free) parking structure closeby.Ambiance: Great. Indoors is beautiful (love the wallpaper). Outdoors is nice too (request seating in the back outdoor space rather than the front.)Food: Fantastic. Went with the famous gnocchi, as well as the Terun pizza, and a schiacciata topped with proscuitto and burrata. The schiacciata was heavenly. It's been 24 hours, and we haven't stopped talking about it. We don't plan on stopping talking about it. We also got to try their caramel gelato topped with olive oil and sea salt. What genius thought of this? Brilliance. I don't know which olive oil Terun uses, but it has such a rich yet smooth taste. It elevates everything.Service: Phenomenal. I can't understand the negative reviews regarding the service at this restaurant. We arrived a bit earlier than our reserved time, but we were greeted kindly b the host and shown to a table of our choice. Many restaurants make us wait if we show up early; Terun was ready. Our lovely server was Damla, and she was delightful. She had great suggestions, her demeanor was bright and welcoming, but not overbearing or forced. She and other service staff really tended to us well without intruding on our meal.Thank you, Terun, for such a pleasant experience. See you again soon.

Fun evening spent eating a great Neapolitan pizza dinner at a buzzy casual wonderful place called Terún (apparently a favorite haunt of Bezos and Zuckerberg, among others but then where isn’t a favourite of someone famous here). Pizza was to die for! All washed down with one of our favorite wines, Etna Rosso. We got into a great lengthy conversation about food and gardening and Italy with one of the charming young and very handsome owners, Guiseppe. He gave us a special plate of dried sweet Calabrian chiles and taleggio cheese for an after dinner snack, gave us his recipe for cooking chicken livers, a complimentary limoncello and sent us home with a box of chiles. Very relaxing and fun and highly recommended.

Fantastic, authentic Italian. Great Neapolitan-style pizzas, great pasta. Service is usually good, but sometimes can be inattentive. We once had horrible risotto, so awful it had to be sent back, but even then, the restaurant did their very best to make us happy.Parking: A block away is a two-story parking garage that's free. The first level is often full, but I've never seen the second level completely full.
