Osteria Ciceri / LA Bettola di Terroni

What is Osteria Ciceri / LA Bettola di Terroni? Situated at 106 Victoria Street between Richmond and Lombard streets in Downtown Toronto, La Bettola di Terroni (formerly known as Osteria Ciceri e Tria) is an intimate southern Italian osteria under the celebrated Gruppo Terroni culinary family. The handsome, multi-level dining space showcases exposed brick walls, vintage Italian photography, dark wooden bistro chairs, and an illuminated central wine bar. It is a premier dining destination for Financial District lunch meetings, pre-theatre dinners before shows at the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres, and romantic downtown evening meals.

Osteria Ciceri / LA Bettola di Terroni Menu & What to Order The menu curates Terroni’s most celebrated Southern Italian pasta traditions alongside Sicilian street food classics. Start with the Arancine Palermitane, crispy golden saffron rice balls filled with slow-cooked meat ragù and melted cheese, or the Panelle, light fried chickpea fritters served with fresh lemon wedges. The pasta lineup is headlined by Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, freshly extruded egg pasta tossed tableside with sharp Pecorino Romano and cracked black peppercorns, and Chitarra alla Norcina featuring crumbled pork sausage and black truffle cream. Pair your pasta with a bottle from their exclusively Italian, regional wine list and end with a slice of classic Terroni tiramisu.

Know Before You Go The restaurant is open Monday through Friday for lunch and dinner, and Saturday for dinner service, observing Sunday closures. Due to its proximity to the Massey Hall and theatre district, dinner reservations via the official Terroni website are strongly recommended. Queen subway station on Line 1 is a three-minute walk away, with underground public parking garages available beneath nearby commercial towers.
