“Really Authentic Italian food just like Mama Gualtieri used to make back in Jersey! The Gravy was fresh and just perfection along with the macaroni similar to what Artie Bucco served at Vesuvio's where the gang would hang out. It's a pride thing. All their food: pizza, calzone, buffalo moozarell', olive oil. These boys know the routine. Oof, Madon'! I'll be back!“

“I’ve been a fan and customer of Villarina’s Southbury for many years for far too many reasons to list ... but the most important one is the owners who are family and treat everyone like family!❤️ This is a quick review to say YUMMMM!!! Before the “stay at home” order went into effect, I stocked up on their frozen dinners and lots of pasta sauce. Always love having these in our house and especially so now. We recently tried the frozen linguine w/white clam sauce I had picked up. It was our first time for this dinner and WOW! It was fabulous. My husband says it’s the best he’s ever had. It’s not something I typically eat but loved it. We’ll add it to our list of things to pick-up. Thanks as always!!!“

“The Best, never disappoints great staff food is delicious always!😋“

“love the food ❤️❤️❤️ good service“

“I been trying to find a good grinder/deli place where I live and I went to the other one on town that everyone says was good and it wasn't but then I seen this nice place and their meats are so good they got all the good stuff my grandfather would have at his house when I was kid. I definitely recommend it I'm going to try a new one a week lol“

“This was my second time here & this time, it was a large group of us… Our server, Anthony, took care of all 15 of us very well without huffing & puffing like some other places! Not only did he match our vibe but was very polite & friendly!“

“Thank you Vazzy’s for catering the Trumbull HS Post Prom 2025! It was flawless-from menu planning to delivery! They made helpful menu suggestions to get the most out of our budget. They delivered on time and the food was hot, delicious and ready to be served! The kids most enjoyed the pizza, pigs in a blanket and quesadillas. Vazzy’s has catered the THS Post Prom for many years now and other events at THS too. See you next school year for Power-puff and Post Prom!“

“I have zero complaints about this establishment. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.“

“Omg the best food. My favorite is the cherry teriyaki wings. Everything I have ordered was fantastic.“

“We tried the mashed potato pizza and OMG it's too die for.. Must try love this place CAN'T get enough.. Thank you Taylor my favorite waitress ever?“

“This was a wonderful experience for my stepson and I. Christy was probably the nicest waitress I have encountered in my life. Answered all questions we had, made accommodations requested by a 6 year old with 0 hesitation or annoyance, the food was great and came out as quickly as the bread, my stepson had requested an additional side not listed on the kids menu and she didn't even bat an eyelash making it happen for him. Fairly priced, amazing atmosphere, they deserve all the extra recognition they've been getting lately and then some!! We will definitely be back, time and time again.“

“Delicious food !! Friendly staff and great service! We love Southford Pizza!! I’m a Gluten Free girl and they got me covered as well!! Good Stuff! 👍🍕🍽😊❤️“

“Service is impeccable! The food is outstanding Great drinks and wines to choose from. Last but not least the entrepreneur is one of the nicest people!! This placevis a big 10!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Tried Pizzaro’s Pizzeria for the first time. My wife and I shared a large antipasta salad and a large cheese pizza with garlic, half pepperoni and half broccoli. Everything was great. While this is more a takeout place they have large booths and the service was excellent. The salad was awesome and so large we took 1/4 of it home. The pizza was excellent. Thin crust with a delicious sauce. I’m not a fan of the outer crust but this was so good I ate everything. I highly recommend their pizza. We have to go back and try their subs and meals as I witnessed many people getting these and pizza for takeout. I give it five stars. We will be back.“

“The best food ever!!!! Literally!!! My friend and family considered me as gourmand , and this restaurant food is 10 out of 10,I just think they need a little renovation and the waitress should be a bit better,but who cares if the food is AWESOME!!! Even they bread is unique.Definitely worth it)))“

“A wonderful little Italian Pizza, subs and more restaurant. We always grab several jars of their Marianera and Tomato Sauce to go.“

“Excellent food .Owner and staff are so nice and accommodating.“

“AMAZING! A.S is amazing. Their staff is so patient and helpful. The quality of the food and cleanliness of the location is near perfect. We usually travel to Norwalk, but thankful they opened a location near Shelton/Monroe. We went before Christmas Eve and it made our holiday feel “normal”.“
