Located next to The Hazelton Hotel 'ONE' Restaurant is another successful culinary endeavor in Chef Mark McEwan's kitty. The rich wood flooring, smoked glass, cowhide mirror paneling, and the elegantly striped tiger-eye onyx create an interesting and contemporary ambiance for fine dining. Diners savor the exotic European, Italian and French delicacies with the extensive wine list served here. But the most ideal way to relax, here, is to lounge in the largest street level patios as you indulge in people-watching.
A part of the Terroni chain of restaurants, the Adelaide location is set in a former courthouse. With touches of old-world architecture throughout the space, the restaurant's three levels offer private rooms for parties or simply dinner for two. A lobby-bar warrants a drink before being seated where you can muse the 'food art' that lines the floor-to-ceiling shelves. The traditional southern Italian cuisine features fresh pasta that is hand-made daily and just about everything else on the menu is authentic. Come hungry but prepared to wait as Terroni's is among the busiest Italian restaurants in the city.
