Terzo

We stopped at Terzo for brunch and had some wonderful dishes. But honestly I walked away with a question, whats up with this menu? The food we ordered was amazing, but I feel like the chef and some of their menu choices are trying to be a little too different and experimental. Our Food: Spicy Sausage Torchiette - 10 out of 10 - Star of the show, packed with flavor, creamy, perfectly seasoned. My only wish would be is to add more sausage. Tiramisu Pancake Stack - 9 out of 10 - Excally what you think it will be. Kid favorite. Farm Fresh Frittata - 9 out of 10 - Im not vegetarian, and even I enjoyed this dish. Chicken Parm & Waffle Sandwich - 6 out of 10 - I see what they were trying to do, but it falls short. Overall, it was a great experieince, service was great and I love the new inte

The food was incredible, starting with the freshly baked bread and leek butter. We loved the calamari appetizer and all the different pastas. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The only minor complaint is the tight space and short chairs.

The food at Terzo was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and well-executed Italian dishes that really stood out. That said, it’s definitely on the pricey side for what you get. The service was slower than expected, and the ambiance was just okay — nice enough, but nothing particularly special. Overall, great food, but be prepared to spend a bit and allow extra time.

Found this spot on either tiktok or instagram where they talked about their 3 course pasta tasting menu, so of course, safe to say that I was SOLD. Decided to come here to celebrate Valentine’s Day together earlier than everyone else so that we didn’t have to deal with heavy crowds. Honestly, great idea. For apps, we had Brussels sprouts and their terzo salad and that already was amazing. Then, of course, we each did the tasting course. There were 6 different pastas on the menu to choose from so we got lucky and were able to try all 6! 10/10 would recommend doing this if you’re on a date with your SO, you should do this so you can try each pasta dish they have to offer. I would absolutely come back here and would also tell all my friends and family to come here.

Terzo is a hidden gem in Metuchen and made for a perfect lunch date. We started with the Fried Calamari Agridolce and Burrata Fritt and both were excellent, but the calamari was the star. Perfectly fried with layers of flavor, it’s easily one of the best I’ve had. The burrata, paired with prosciutto and truffle honey, was fresh, balanced, and had a nice panko crunch without being greasy. For mains, we tried the Caramelized Onion Cacio e Pepe and Mafaldine Modenese, and both pastas were fresh, chewy, and packed with flavor. Portions were generous, prices fair, and the menu offers options for different dietary needs. With its warm atmosphere and standout food, Terzo is absolutely worth a visit—whether you’re after fresh pasta or just some of the best calamari around.
