Yelper M.A. O., who reviewed Terzo°MDR on Sept. 29, wrote, "[The] pasta was very good, [the] pizza was a notch above the [pasta] and the seafood dishes (roast octopus and scallops) were excellent. Comfortable booths and nice casual outdoor seating with fire pits in the center of the tables."

Stephen D. noted, "The menu is classic Italian with a twist — their castelvetrano olives are stuffed with ricotta and served with a nduja (spicy pork spreadable salumi similar to sobrassada from Spain) aioli. The menu is simple but well rounded. Definitely try the chicken liver mousse with the aged balsamic."

Karl H. noted, "Proper Pizza & Pasta does stromboli right. Each order gives you a massive loaf easily serving two. The flavors and ingredient ratios are excellent... I've had their pasta, and while insanely generous, I didn't think it matches the flair and panache of their stromboli."
