This place is a hidden gem. My family and I recently moved here from Miami and being half Sicilian, we LOVE Italian food and are always looking for authentic Italian food. This place is amazing. Everything is so fresh and delicious. The staff are very friendly. Atmosphere is so nice. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Great really italian food experience at Terun Pizzeria & Restaurant! I’m an italian travel organizer and tour leader. At the end of a 12 day tour aroun west USA I needed, for me and for my italian clients group, to rediscover a little piece of Italy. Terun is this! The best place for a real italian food experience in Palo Alto. Here you can feel at home (italian home!!!) Thank you very much to Giuseppe, Maico and all the staff!
Upscale but relaxed Italian fare and small plates venue offering a variety of delicious pastas, plates, pizzas, and hand crafted cocktails. Service is excellent, seating is abundant both indoor and outdoor, and the food is amazing.
We especially enjoyed the food and cocktails here. Starting with the drinks, they offer sangria and hand crafted cocktails. The margarita here has an intalian twist but comes highly recommended! The Sangria they had on offer was amazing!
All of the food here is excellent as well. If you enjoy pizza, they have a wood fired oven and the pizza is cooked to perfection. We tried the pear and Gorgonzola pizza. It was a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness. Also, the Ravioli here has slow cooker short ribs inside, and it is absolutely to die for!
I recommend this place for those looking to have a few small plates and cocktails over conversation. It’s Italian themed but don’t think just pasta here. It’s light, tasty, and fast! 10/10 for this one!
We’ve been here several times and we’re always satisfied with the food.
You usually need reservations unless you are ok to wait in line for a long time.
I do love the gnocchi and I can have 2 plates of it as the portion is not big and its soooo delicious.

Buffalo mozzarella pizza, not the best, but probably one of the best you can find in the South Bay.
The mozzarella fritta, which is the breadcrumbed fried mozzarella was still cold inside. Would recommend to keep them next to the fire for a longer period of time and make the inner mozzarella become stringy and melted.
Host waiter was kind 😊 and the outdoor seating was warm.
Good little Italian joint. Food was decent, but not the best. The antipasto plate was the highlight. Lots of variety there. The butternut squash ravioli was good, could have used a little more sage brown butter. Pizza was good and flavorful. Service was decent, although our server didn't quite know the menu.
Give this place a shot. It may not be your favorite place, but you won't likely regret it.
A few friends and I came to Terun with a dinner reservation for indoor seating. The restaurant has a nice vibe inside, and also has a lot of outdoor seating both in the front and the back (I’ve been to the back patio before and it has a really pretty setup and nice atmosphere).
We also liked the aesthetic presentation of the dishes! In terms of taste, the truffle egg pasta special was so delicious, although it was also pricier than the other dishes. The rigatoni and risotto were pretty good too. We also ordered the Napoletana which was the first time we all had anchovies on pizza—it gives a strong and salty fish taste to the pizza so some of us liked it more than others.
Since it was one of our group members’ birthday recently, we also ordered a tiramisu and the waitress helped light a candle for us. The tiramisu was delicious. Overall, we had a great time celebrating together.
On June 23, around dinner time, I arrived with three of my friends. We had previously attempted to dine at Italico, but with a long wait list that would not work for us. We walked down the road to Terún, where though they were comparably busy, they provided us with an accommodation. The staff had so much charisma and truly made us feel welcome. The food was very solid, however some of the pizza crust was a bit salty. I would come again.
Brunch with old friends at Terún today. The staff was very welcoming and explained the menu. We had the antipasto and three pizzas with beers and wine for a party of five and a puppy. They have a good selection of beers and wine. We had the Menabrea on draft and the Hop Nosh IPA. I loved the lazy Sunday feeling sitting on a sidewalk table chatting with old friends over good food and alcohol. The food was fresh with authentic Italian flavor. Everything was perfect. Great job the staff at Terún! They even gave a little doggy dish of water for the puppy. How about that?!
