“I was so enamoured with how cute this deli is! It's in a somewhat non-descript strip mall off the Green (and perhaps the only tenant), but inside is adorable and small-town! The shop offers sandwiches to order, and every non-alcoholic drink you may want - Coke, Pepsi, hot chocolate, and of course coffee. The coffee is Omar Coffee, if brand matters to you. The BEC sandwich on a croissant is eggy with a wonderful buttery flavor. The cheese and bacon quantities are reasonable (what can I say, I care about the cheese!). They also have baked goods - cookies, brownies, yum! The decor is all local - posters from old Bethlehem fairs, paintings from local artists, and a classic wall of business cards! If you need a local service, I bet you'll find it there. There is also a restroom available.”
“I forgot to mention on my last review that we always get a vegan pizza to go with our dinners. It is really great crispy pizza with vegetables on top but no cheese. I'm sure all the other pizzas are equally delicious. Lasts for days in the fridge and can be reheated in oven- not microwave because that makes the crust mushy! Really good place!”
“Thanks to the cook and bartender! I just picked up a burger combo to go and it was delicious! I was early so I waited at the bar, the atmosphere was nice and clean. You are crazy if you don't stop in for food or a drink.”
“Amazing service is an understatement. The new painted pony restaurant is an amazing place for people of all Ages with events all through the week such as trivia on Tuesdays and bands every Saturday this place has it all. The amazing menu is only beat by the amazing food options. The fries are amazing and while there are many pasta dishes the chicken parm in particular is amazing don’t listen to what the haters say the painted pony is an amazing place for you and the whole family. I will be coming back.Parking: Parking in the front and back no trouble getting in and out.”
“Had a great lunch — my son said the pastrami sandwich was the best he’s ever had. And on fresh baked bread! My salad was great too. Oh, and the absolute joy of flipping through the record bins. It’s a great spot!”
“My first visit was last February for my birthday. My friend had pre-arranged for the 5 course tasting menu/pairing. It was the perfect introduction to the restaurant and the culinary talents of Chef David. When a close friend had a milestone birthday I knew this would be the perfect locale given his Italian heritage. He’s picky on bread since he makes his own - he couldn’t get enough of it and was excited to find out it was made on site! Recently, when I saw the braised rabbit filled buttons I knew I had to return. Since it was just me and a last minute decision I was thrilled to get a spot at the bar. I can tell you the attention was exactly the same as if I were in the main dining room. First time visitors should splurge on the tasting menu! Grazie mille Chef David and the entire friendly team.”
“Since I work nearby, Rozzi’s is a solid option for my coworkers and I when we’re craving a good breakfast or lunch! On this last visit we really enjoyed the Asian salad special and the bbq chicken melt. Their decadent desserts are always fun to get for a treat too! A great hometown diner feel with friendly staff!”
“I just tried Island Rootz and I don’t have enough good things to say about it. Their food is the best I’ve ever had and they’re so friendly. They have such a great variety and great prices for quality food !”
“One of the better dining experiences that can be had in Connecticut. Michelin star quality without the price. The staff is extremely personable and makes you feel as if you are the only person in the restaurant. They are very knowledgeable about the menu. The presentation and taste of the food is exceptional. The food is farm to table with fresh ingredients. The dining room is dimly lit and intimate. The experience has been consistent the 5 times that I have visited.”
“LOVE this place and the ladies who take care of us here. Kerry and Yelena are so sweet and they make everything fresh. My girlfriend and I come here every week because we love it so much. Specialty hot chocolates, real fruit smoothies, and a cute little atmosphere.”
“I received a gift certificate & I really can’t use it. When E59 first opened. I did go there, because I think they opened earlier. Now, their hours of operation don’t cater to early morning customers. When I say early. I mean, at least by 8:00AM. Their hours don’t make sense for the type of business! It’s a five star business, except for their hours of operation.”
“This is my favorite restaurant in town. I’ve been here several times for both dine-in and takeout. The food is fresh and delicious. I love that they use local ingredients and I love that the takeout does not include plastic containers, plastic cutlery, or plastic bags. I also like that the menu changes up from time to time. Staff are always friendly and professional. Thank you for providing such a great dining option in Watertown.”
“It was our first time here, and the experience was great. We had dinner on a Sunday, and it wasn't really super busy, in my opinion. Yes, the restaurant was almost full, but it really wasn't loud or squished in like others have mentioned with the seating situation. Our waitress brought out bruschetta to start, and it was great, we ordered their calamari dish, which was quite large, and they brought complimentary mussels to go with that dish. We got our main dishes and of course by that time you were quite full but we ate what we could and wrapped it up. Our reservation was for 7 pm, we left around 10pm. You are fed the entire time, so honestly it doesn't feel like your waiting for your entrees hungry. I will be trying their new location once they move to see if things change.”
“Joanne & Tony are great people who always come through with great staff & food. They have great prime rib every Saturday along with other great entrees. Can’t forget the desserts! 5 ”
“Amazing!!! I stopped in Sat. 3/9/24. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with ham & cheese in Gluten Free bread. They toasted the bread and the egg was cooked to perfection! Such helpful staff and so grateful for the GF bread. I will be back.????”
“I love the aesthetic of this restaurant! So so cute, the food is good. This was my first thai restaurant since coming back from the country, so I may be a little critical of the food, but it was not bad in any way. My favorite was the coconut juice!”
“Such an amazing cake!! It looked great and was just what I envisioned when I sent the inspiration pictures. Besides the look, the cake itself tasted great and the fondant is homemade so it’s not just edible but it tasted good too. Birthday party was Friday, whole cake eaten by Sunday.”
“The staff is so nice and sweet ! They give great suggestions too! Food is always fresh and delicious, I would definitely recommend!Kid-friendliness: Very nice and give great suggestions if you’re unsure what to order!”
“Just like the deli they own in litchfield. 10/10 old school proper Italian food. My favorite food in the north west corner. We wont mind if you guys open up a 3rd restaurant I promise we wouldn’t be ”
“Great wings, good variety. Bar staff/servers are always on point despite how crowded it can get. I only gave 4 stars overall due to the limited parking. Not ideal, but somehow it works.Vegetarian options: There's celery.”
“The fresh baked breads here are fantastic. I always walk out of there with more goods than i intended to get. Don’t forget a cookie or scone for the ride home!”
“I've been here a few times to grab croissants but it was our first time dining it and it was delicious! Very cozy and you can tell they have a lot of regular customers. The eggs benedict was amazing and their homemade biscuit was great. My husband got the chicken and waffles special and he loved it. We will definitely be coming back!”
“I just picked up our two Caesar Salads and brought back to our home as my wife was tired. Why would you buy them from some haute Cuisine place like the West Street Grill? Well, they are simply the best cuisine in Litchfield - even for a simple take out salad. Very nicely prepared with Parmesan in its own container and a rich Caesar dressing as well.While I was waiting I looked around at the people dining in a very relaxed atmosphere with nice Jazz music playing. I thought that we should have come here for dinner instead (as we have many times before) and had a treat dining out. You won't regret your visit here.”
“The cookies at this company are nothing short of delicious. They have a variety of cookies for all different times of year. Whether you get cookies, blondies or even their brownies, you are guaranteed to want more.The staff are very nice, and they will even tell you what cookies they recommend. When you walk in you smell the sweet smell of cookies and sugar and not to mention everything else they sell. You also see the endearing environment. All the art and furniture make you have to look around. I would 100% recommend this company for anyone who is visiting town.”
“BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH I'VE EVER HAD. I love how many options they give you with each ingredient. The steak and egg with southwest sauce on an everything bagel was incredible. Sauce has a good kick, I'd say around jalapeno level of heat FYI. Ignore the review below. Yeah it takes a little longer than Dunkin cuz the food is freshly made to order, duhh.”
“Incredible food, great service, and did I mention absolutely incredible food? They have so many vegan and vegetarian options which I really appreciate. The vegetarian breakfast burrito is amazing. The soups are great and everything on the cold salad bar is fantastic as well. Great for to go or dine-in, I recommend eating outside there's so much more space and it's very nice they have plenty of chairs and tables.”
“Not a problem with good service.Little tight of a spot but it's a diner.Parking: 0 on street only. Possibly some rear parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Difficult, but not impossible. Small diner so not much place to move around.”
“Store is modern and clean. Food is crazy good. My favorites are Italian Veggie (pictured), Godfather and Cesar wrap. Whenever they have meatballs in the case I grab a box full and make a great dinner with them even the kiddos love.”
“Great Find! Found this gem with my mom by accident and now my best friend and I come here monthly for the wine slushies - going on year 3! Not only is the place gorgeous but the wine and food are great too! What makes it truly special is the staff - Amy, Amanda, Maggie, George and Justin always treat us well and you can tell they truly love what they do.”
“I ordered 3 dozen cookies with a “Lisa Frank” theme. I sent them the inspiration photos, and filled out the form online, I received a response very quickly. Ashley is extremely professional, kind, talented, and efficient. On top of the cookies being absolutely perfect and even better than I expected, they tasted amazing.”
