After leaving the BTS cup sleeve event this afternoon, Ying and I met up with my friend Austin for a late lunch at Terroni. I'd wanted to try Terroni for years but I don't find myself downtown often — and even when I do head down, it's usually for a BTS event and I just find a restaurant near the event cafe to eat at. But Austin and I texted each other last week and I told him I was going to be downtown today, so we agreed to meet for lunch because we hadn't seen each other in a few years and there was so much to catch up on. I asked him to pick the restaurant, so he chose Terroni because it's coincidentally one of his favourites. And the three of us proceeded to have one of the most leisurely, entertaining lunches I've had in a long, long time. Sharing stories, re-hashing old memories, and catching each other up on the last three years over delicious Italian food was a truly healing experience.
Bona Pizze
Pappardelle alla Iosa
Tiramisu
Ying and I shared the Bona Pizze (white pizza with mozzarella, mortadella, montasio stravecchio, pistachios, and honey), I had the Pappardelle alla Iosa (homemade spicy sausage, button and oyster mushrooms, peas, parmigiano, and extra-virgin olive oil), and the three of us split the tiramisu for dessert. There was not a bite of food I took during this lunch that I didn't absolutely love. I loved everything so much, in fact, that I think I will make Terroni my new go-to downtown restaurant. For 2.5 hours, we forgot about our woes, our stresses, and even the gloomy, bitter cold weather outside. So much so that we didn't even realize we were there for so long. (Seriously, when's the last time you had a lunch that was over two hours? Never? Yeah, same.) I just hope we get to do this again soon. I really missed that kid.
