“From the beginning Lisa was very helpful and listened to what we wanted to do. Roberto was as well. Recently had a surprise party here for my Mom. The delicious food and friendly helpful staff was excellent! Our guests are still talking about it!! We will be back!“

“It has been awhile (too long) since we’ve eaten at Portofino’s, just busy. It was very nice to be recognized and they were genuinly glad to see us “back”! Our dinner was delicious! I had the sea bass over risotto. The bass was cooked to perfection! And their service was excellent as always! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We highly recommend Portofino’s and we will definitely be back soon!“

“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.“

“My husband and I tried Bora Restaurant for the first time last night. It was excellent!! The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Great Food, Great Drinks, and Great Service“

“Amazing food. Awesome service; owner so accommodating. Love the short rib tagiliatelle. The bar is so much fun and the bartender is on his game.“

“Food was very good the staff most were attentive“

“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!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“I ordered 5 large pizzas for a luncheon at work and everyone agreed that both flavors (cheese and vegetable combo) were phenomenal! They were delivered promptly and super hot in a fancy insulated delivery bag to keep it nice and warm. This is my new place!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Love this restaurant and the food is delicious“

“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“

“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!!“

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

“My FAVORITE pizza place in Ridgefield! I’ve been eating their pepperoni pizza for a decade now, usually 1-3 times each week.

I love their rich pizza sauce, the crust is nice and crispy, and they’ve got the sliced pepperoni which is great so no cups of grease like at some other places. Their slices are flavorful, and I don’t even need to add any extra spices unless I want some heat.

The staff are friendly and professional, and they always remember regulars. It has a calm and relaxed atmosphere, so I like decompressing after work there, or just meeting with my family for a quick sit-down lunch.“

“Food is good. Prices went up significantly recently. Garlic knots are less than have of what they were and have increased in price by 25%. No longer knots now dough balls. Sauce is extra.“

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

“I recently had my bridal shower at Biscottis and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The owner Scott is so easy to work with, he even let us come the night before to start setting up. Service was great, and most importantly the FOOD. We let Scott run with the menu and he did not disappoint. Everyone was raving about how good everything it was.

I can’t recommend Biscottis enough for your you next important event!“

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

“Everything at Olive Garden is perfect from the service to the staff and the food is delicious. Highly recommend it!. Also our waiter Josh is knowledgeable, empathetic, and helpful a wonderful asset to the Olive Garden staff.“

“Had my mom’s funeral reception here, as well as my grandfather’s two years ago. Incredible food, attentive staff, could not have had a better experience. Thank you Posa, for making an incredibly sad day so much better.“

“First time there. Our hostess was also preparing drinks, answering the phone and then she was our server! What a trooper. Lots of menu choices. Meals were all delish: baked rigatoni, penne vodka, chicken Frances, beef stroganoff and a cavatelli dish. Yum! Lovely atmosphere.“

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

“Great sandwiches and chicken cutlets“

“BEST PIZZA IN PUTNAM COUNTY! If you haven’t been here yet you don’t know what you are missing!“

“Great atmosphere and the staff are all hard working. The family that owns it are wonderful people! The brunch was amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone!!“

“I’m a tenant in the 400 plus units at Abbey Woods - just a mile from the restaurant and definitely NOT in favor of your delivery policy.
I have to meet your driver 3 stories down at the front door because they will not come in the building to deliver/ your place is the restaurant in town that has this ridiculous idea of how to do business! It definitely affects me as to where I’m going to order from as I’m sure other tenants feel the same way.
Having said that - I think I just had the BEST meatball grinder that I’ve had in years.
I think I would use you more often if only you allowed your delivery folks to use the elevator 🤔🤔“

“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.“

“Little Bit Eatery is a great local spot. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, the service is always friendly and reliable, and the cleanliness of the deli really stands out. You can tell they take pride in both their food and maintaining a hygienic, welcoming environment. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food. Small and quant hime feeling. Plenty of room, not on top of each other. Friendly atmosphere. Wine selection was good. Loved the seafood salad and the special: lobster ravioli in a blackberry sauce was outstanding. Definitely a diamond in the rough.“

“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“

“One word… YUM! It’s is one of the best spots in Ridgefield, hands down. The food is always fresh, delicious, and unbelievably consistent — I’ve never had a bad meal there. The staff is great, a hot bar for a full meal, a coffee bar, and tons of beverage options. And somehow the prices are still incredible. This place is an absolute local treasure.“

“Best pizza around, salad was great too.“

“A great little hole in the wall pizza joint. Friendly service, delicious food. Try the BBQ chicken pizza, topped with thinly sliced roasted chicken (rather than a breaded cutlet) and heaped with roasted red peppers; it'll change your life.“

“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......“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
