“Vesta Rooftop Kitchen is one of those places that continues to impress me every time I visit. I’m always amazed by how good the food is. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared.

One of the things I really enjoy about Vesta is the rooftop setting. It has a great atmosphere and gives the space a fun, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for brunch or a casual outing with friends. The rooftop area feels lively and unique, especially during nice weather.

Their brunch menu is excellent and offers a great variety of options. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or something a little sweeter, there are plenty of great choices. It’s definitely a spot I look forward to visiting when I’m craving a good brunch.

The staff are also very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Service is attentive and the team always makes you feel comfortable.

Overall, Vesta Rooftop Kitchen is a great place for delicious food, a great brunch menu, and a fun rooftop atmosphere. I always enjoy coming back.“

We highly recommend Portofino’s and we will definitely be back soon!“

“The best pizza in Danbury! 5 stars!!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Gisellas has been our favorite go to Italian restaurant in DANBURY since it opened. Food is always delicious and consistent and the wait staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Unfortunately last night we had a different experience the moment we walked in the door. Hostess was very unfriendly and dismissive, no eye contact and acted like she was doing us a favor seating us! Thankfully, like always, the rest of our dining experience was amazing!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience at our first time at Rebellion tonight! From the vibe and atmosphere, to the most amazing drinks by Dorian at the bar and the incredible, elevated food (Bronzino & NY Strip to be specific) and just an absolute amazing experience overall. A must visit! 5 🌟 all the way!!“

“Dishonest business sells gift certificates yet doesn't honor them. Will be contacting BBB of New England“

“You want a really excellent pie?
Perfect crust. Not too thick or thin that's lightly crisp and doesn't flop.
The sauce is very flavorful, perhaps a little on the sweet side.
Generous selection of fresh, quality toppings.
The cheese was perfect without the too often unwelcome excessive grease.
Skip new haven brand lines and hype. This mom and pop out shines!
And the staff couldn't be nicer!“

“Food was very good the staff most were attentive“

“Beautiful outdoor patio!!“

“Maybe this was an off night for Dolce being new years eve. From the start, the waiter had one thing on his mind, get us out as quickly as possible. Waiter was not friendly, and had no interest in assisting us. Didn't even offer bread , only came after we asked during the appetizer. Food was average to above average which helped the situation. Ownership needs to school the waiters on better ettiquette with customers“

“Absolutely the best pizza I have EVER eaten, and excellent customer service 💯💯“

“We had Mangia Mangia cater our recent rehearsal dinner - it was hands down the best food we have had in a long time. Everything was perfect- Raquel was a tremendous help and she took all the stress away from hosting a large party. I HIGHLY recommend using them for anyone looking for catering a large event. Bladimir, Joline and all the staff were very accommodating- we even called and got 10+pizzas delivered the day after the wedding too!! Huge Hit!!“

“I played live music here and i had a fantastic time !“

“We were there for a wedding shower and the food and the service were exceptional. Well done to all!“

“We ordered take out from this place. We never ate Pizza from here before and wanted to try it. We ordered a Sausage, Onion and Garlic large Pizza and a Pepperoni small pizza. They were both delicious. The crust could have been a little crisper for me, but is was delicious and they were very generous with their topping. I will be going back there again soon.“

“So we went for dine-in service on Thursday and was helped by a delightful waitress. I never caught her name though. She was great with menu recommendations and made our guest feel very much at home with her attention and jokes. It was such a great experience - we had pizza for take-out on Friday. It was delicious and pick up was a breeze. Thank you!“

“Excellent penne aka Vodka, the best Garlic bread!“

“They make a really great breakfast sandwich and they don’t nickel and dime for every added ingredient. Very reasonably priced, and always greeted with friendly service. I go out of my way to drive through Brookfield so I can stop here! Also highly recommend their tuna salad wrap with the potato chips in it.“

“I generally like the food, however, I tried the chicken parmesan and was disappointed. It was over done, dry, not much sauce or cheese. Maybe just a bad night. Generally it is pretty good......“

“We recently celebrated my mother`s 100th birthday at Pulcinellas with about 40 friends and family and everyone is still talking about it ! Linda ensured perfection all around. The pizza, antipasto, entrees (chicken champagne, veal francese, eggplant rolatini, penne a la vodka), and sides were delicious and plentiful. The pistachio BD cake was gorgeous and tasted out of this world! the staff was so attentive to everyone's needs and the piano player added to the festive atmosphere. Thank You Linda, John and team for making the event so special and memorable for my mom and our entire family“

“I would walk 500 miles... Well maybe not walk 500 miles. But I will drive 350 miles round trip. Just to have dinner at one of my favorite Restaurants in my old neighborhood. Congrats to Kenny and his culinary and service team. Dinner for my party of 4 was delicious. The 3 specials Short Rib Ravioli, Chicken & Sausage Paella, and the Baby Rack of Lamb. The 4th dinner was our longtime favorite Gnocchi Sorentino. Walked out bellies full and pallets completely satisfied. Oh yeah, don't forget the Fried Burrata. Anytime I'm in Brookfield I will visit Portobellos. Love this place.“

“Best pizza around, salad was great too.“

“West Lane just catered a conference event with 250 women. Not one complaint! Food was perfect. The offerings were amazing. Details were outstanding for our guests including Gluten Free/Vegetarian guests. Lunch arrived on time, presentation was beautiful, and Kosta was so professional and polite. He is humble, professional and you can tell a lot of attention was given to our order. Excellence and quality at its best! Every guest commented on how delicious the lunch was.“

“Everything that I have had, has been great. Friendly staff as well. However, prices on the menu on their website are not accurate. Website needs to be updated as it’s misleading to customers.“

“The food was really good. This was the first time I was here, but I will definitely return we ate in, and the owner was very friendly he even offered to make a small pizza while I waited for my girlfriend to get there. If you haven't tried this location, you are missing out.“

“Everything tasted great and the crew was friendly and helpful! From the chunks of garlic on the garlic bread to their amazing marinara, we will definitely come again before we head back west! If you haven’t been here you are missing out!“

“Just a wonderful atmosphere with AMAZING meals! The staff is so attentive and friendly. The menu selections? What more can I say other than I wanted to try everything? Food is deliciousness you just cannot find everywhere but at Castello's. I highly, highly recommend Castello's for an AUTHENTIC italian meal you will never forget.“
