    Maybe in the "Bizarro" Vancouver you live in...
  2. B to the A to the R to the T from The left coast, Canada writes: mike bortolotto are you kidding. There are tons of higher end eateries opening up, competition for staff is high, wages are going up... Have you looked around?
  3. S Lucht from British Columbia, Canada writes: Interesting place, decent products--but very loud. Make sure you enjoy yelling at the people you go with before heading there.
  4. My eyes are open, Are yours? from Canada writes: I hope if Terroni's opens up a restaurant with this concept, the service is a little faster than in the restaurants where they cook. I can't afford to wait an hour for a pizza, even if it is fresh-made and wood-oven cooked. Especially at lunch.

  5. Mike Mikelson from Toronto, Canada writes: I stopped by the last time I was in Vancouver and loved it. After a long day of flying it was great to just stop in somewhere and have a nice glass of wine and a bite to eat, without the hassle of going to a traditional restaurant. I was walking back to the hotel from the Irish pub a few doors down and was worried that I would end up eating Subway or the likes because most places had closed their kitchens already.

    I truly hope to see a Salt in Toronto sometime soon.
  6. John Henry from Toronto, Canada writes: Maybe you should go for dinner. Plus, get the pasta; it's excellent.
  7. Gillian Moody from Toronto, Canada writes: My friends think that Terroni's great, but I have yet to enjoy it. Unless you order Tons Of Pasta, the portions seem small or mid-sized. The food takes a long time and when it comes to you, it's lukewarm and you have to request that it be reheated. Maybe a no-cook bar would be a good idea for them. For hot food, I'd take Epicure Café on Queen West any day.
