“I have been ordering takeouts at Il Forno for the past seven. I started with bacon and onions pizza which was great. I then changed to eggplant pizza and it has to be the best I have ever had. Now I have moved on to shrimp marinara with linguine and I can't tell you how great this dish is. The shrimp are so large and fresh and the sauce is excellent. The filet of sole must weigh at least 2 pounds and my husband gets it every week. The filet is enough for two meals and so is the shrimp. Thank you Il Forno for making our Friday takeout a special treat.”

The portions were generous, the service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience reminded us why this place has such a loyal following. If you’re looking for great comfort food, fresh seafood, and consistently excellent service, Branford Townhouse is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!”

“On Saturday, June 11th after my Mom’s Memorial service I brought 35 people to lunch. The waitstaff was well organized, very attentive, not to mention the food was OUTSTANDING!! Everyone ordered off the menu, drinks were served along with appetizers and dessert. We all ate at the same time which is hard to do with that many people. I would highly recommend Cafe Fiore in Branford, CT to anyone who is looking to have an event or just a nice lunch or dinner. They staff worked so well together that I gave them a 30% gratuity. WELL DONE CAFE FIORE!”

Despite its greater distance from my residence, I intend to prioritize this establishment over others due to the overwhelming satisfaction I experienced with the quality of service and the kindness I was met with.”

“This location is always dirty and messy!!! Once one of the workers was filling up the forks and with no gloves on (he was the cashier) he grabbed the forks by the part that goes in your mouth!!! Both bathrooms were broken overflowing toilets and they were still open, you'd think they would've been locked up so no one walked in.... The dining area, tables are always filthy with trash on them and the trash cans over flowing. I really don't understand how anyone can work like that, explains why no one eats there (unless its when it 1st opens for the day when its somewhat clean...). My son insists on eating there....”
