“Went to SaltBrick Prime Steakhouse there. Lovely, delicious, great unique atmosphere. Love their $59 special dinner w multiple great choices. I had a very tasty onion soup, a perfectly prepared prime rib w high end fries (could have been a huge potato), a Yorkshire pudding bread, and a dark dark chocolate cake dessert w real whipped cream. Relaxing and satisfying, has become a favorite.“

“The best place to eat in Branford for families! Their side entrance is super stroller-friendly and the Mac and cheese made my toddler (literally) dance! I can’t recommend Home enough!!“

“Ate there for the first time last night. Got seated immediately and the server came over quickly and was very nice. Ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower as an app and it was amazing! For my main course I had the Reuben and Rachel sandwich. It too was awesome. I have been to the Old Saybrook location several times before and the Branford location is right on par with it.“

“my wife and I were looking at places to go, There was Doma, Pasta Cosi, LaMonacos,Goodfellas, Cava, so many other places , But we optioned for Rossittos, and asking Branford locals they gave some mixed reviews, I made reservations for valentines day, We were looking forward to it, And then we Arrive, Its like a Noisy Bar as soon as u walk in , We were seated in the Back along a long wobbly bench seat Next to a filthy wall with an oil pipe coming out, We ordered, The wait staff was extremely slow, I get it , It was busier than they probably ever are considering the occasion, No excuse, we ordered cacio e pepe, And a Lasagna Simple, Casio Pepe which is supposed to be done with Romano Cheese and Black Peppercorns , And pasta Water to form the Gravy.....over Bucatini which is a hollow pasta Well what I got was Brown Butter and someone's leftovers in a Bowl The portion was literally 3/4 eaten when I got it, I immediately asked waitress what the hell is this, she ignored me and walked away, The waitress comes by after almost 30 minutes of it sitting on my table and uneaten, and asks how was everything and is something wrong, I explained that situation, and this is not what I ordered, Couldnt be, We sat next to a couple who ordered Pasta and the Portion was Very Large and looked delicious, Then mine shows up which is literally 2 fork full of pasta in a bowl with This gross looking Brown Buttery sauce and Green parsley I have Many Photos, the waitress asked what I wanted her to do and I was mortified and quipped Bring me what I ordered for 26 dollars , she said We just want to make ya happy sarcastically , I said there is Nothing you can do to make me happy, But bring us the check she did 45minutes later and it was 89 dollars For a lasagna and Cacio e pepe, one soda and a martini, I added it came out to 61 dollars so where is the additional 28 dollars, we paid , Said nothing No Tip and left, Never will I ever Return I guess they charge extra for someone else's Leftovers the kid forgot to wrap!....“
