Our Story
Since being founded in 1989, the restaurant Torino 2, has always been more than just a restaurant. It quickly became a staple within the Metuchen community as an welcoming place where friends and family convene and celebrate.
​
With the most recent reinvention of itself, Torino 2 has become Terzo, which means "third" in Italian, and in our case, the third evolution of Metuchen's longest standing Italian restaurant.​
​
The restaurant now boasts a fresh pasta program, farm fresh ingredients supporting our local suppliers, and a reimagined take on Italian cuisine.
Our Vision
What if we reset the clock on traditional dishes?
What other direction could our predecessors have taken using the same ingredients?
This exploration is what we mean by reimagined Italian cuisine.
This, is Terzo.
