Where it all started. Our first location on 720 Queen Street West opened in 1992. From a storefront selling imported Italian pantry staples with only a handful of seating to our most recent renovation and expansion celebrating our 30 years of Terroni, our first ever location got a much deserved face lift, elevating both the look and function of this neighbourhood favourite while still retaining its character of being warm and inviting.Despite its modern, updated new look, the original spirit of Terroni that kicked off three decades of authentic Italian experience lives here.

First time coming to La Bettola and I came to celebrate an anniversary with my partner. Ambience is moderate, it’s not loud, just a lot of adjacent chatter (like any normal restaurant), what matters is I can hear my partner when he talks. Ordered two cocktails, an appetizer, two mains (pastas) and a dessert to share, which came out to over $177 (with tip and tax). Quality is really good, just as good as Terroni (which is one of their partnering restaurants). Portions for the main pastas were pretty large, I got the Fettuccine Bolognese and my partner got a rigatoni from there special menu, quite delicious, makes me want to try all the other pastas on the menu, I can say I was stuffed by the end of that meal. Their dessert, which was a ricotta pistachio sponge cake, was the highlight of my evening. Very light and a good portion because we were stuffed from the main courses. I would go again and recommend to friends.
