Networking & IT Innovation
IDC Dinner Series, Toronto ON
Terroni
Alizabeth Calder, an adjunct analyst with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP), is the former CIO of HomeEquity Bank, a contributing writer to IT World Canada, and a best-selling author and sought-after keynote speaker. She focuses on bridging the gap between the technology sector and the leaders who provide the governance and investment needed to succeed.
Invest in Yourself
Join IT leadership while they network and learn of the latest mission-critical technologies. A TechTalk event is an investment in yourself and your future. “Italian cooking emphasizes the simplicity and quality of the ingredients. “Materia prima”. The raw material. That’s what it’s all about. Most of Mammoliti’s time is spent sourcing the right products for his restaurants. And those products are the essence of Terroni.”

Opened in Dec. 2011, Terroni Price is our uptown jewel. Lunch meeting's, with friends, or date night - we have you covered. Our rooftop patio boasts one of the most breathtaking views of our skyline.
If you ask Mammoliti why people love his restaurants so much: “It’s simple food. I’m not doing anything big; it’s just that I go to great efforts to get the right products, the freshest ingredients. That’s what we do. We don’t mess around with traditional recipes – which is challenging for some people to understand.”
