Restaurants near Bantam

“This is the best Italian restaurant we’ve eaten in here or in Italy! The food is presented artistically and the taste is subtly complex and delicious!”

“First time customer and I’m hooked! Excellent staff, menu, and location. If you are in the area and don’t stop in, you are missing out!”

“They make the greatest croissants, English muffin bread and bacon egg and cheeses. She makes the croissants and English muffin bread from scratch, and uses the thickest bacon around on her sandwiches. Everyday there’s something new in the baked goods case, and I never regret getting it (cough cough carrot cake cheese cake coffee cake) 🤤. Love hearts is truly a hidden gem”

“Impossible to describe how incredible this tasted. My goodness I ate so much my tummy hurt. I couldn’t stop. What a surprise for my taste buds. The chocolate (and chocolate chunk?) was out of this world. Went back for the coffee ice cream the next day. Buts it’s not just the ice cream. The cheeses. The Swiss like cheese ( crybaby ) ? Unbelievable. We had to others on a board from their restaurant next store and came back to bring some home. Finally the butter. They got everything right. Both days the counter help was great thank you for helping us remember what we had and liked.”

“We had a terrific experience with La Catrina de Bantam! We ordered chicken tinga and al pastor tacos, guacamole and chips, and a kids chicken tender meal for pick up. The food was ready on time, friendly service, and all food was scrumptious and very fresh! Excellent addition to the food offerings in the Litchfied area! La Catrina de Bantam is our new favorite when visiting the area! Bravo!”

“Absolutely delicious and extensive menu! Phenomenal for vegans AND non-vegans. Also great with allergy accommodations. Mila the waitress is such a wonderful soul, so is the chef/owner Amy. 💛 Honored to have this place locally.”

“One of my favorite restaurants, I love the tagatelli and the desserts. Unfortunately my husband wasn’t impressed with the squid ink pasta . But I love the food !!”

“Went on Friday night and enjoyed an amazing dinner. One of the friends with us is Vegan and it was so nice to have vegan options for her as well. Service was fantastic, never waited on anything. A special touch is the owner visits each table to ensure we are enjoying ourselves and the food. Totally recommend to anyone looking for a nice, cozy and quiet restaurant where you can actually have a conversation.”

“5 star breakfast sandwiches and they even have GF bread. Outstanding! We inhaled them on the ride to the bridgeport ferry. Thank you!”

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.”

“Love the friendly atmosphere, excellent customer service and delicious food. Will continue to order!!!!!!!”

We had a knowledgeable waitress who accommodated our special dietary needs. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all of our group. We would highly recommend this super, hometown feel, very professional restaurant for everyone! (And I totally felt comfortable eating their gluten free options)”
