“Carla and Rob and their staff make you feel welcome and have excellent Italian fare, both imported and home-made. Do not pass up the gelato as it's all fresh and there are amazing choices, changing constantly. Can't say enough good things about this venue and it's owners.”

“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.”

“I have dined in and gotten take out… never have I had a bad experience either or. So glad to have a great establishment right down the street. Cocktails and craft beer selections are great too. Kudos to whoever does the cocktails. That watermelon one is on point.”

“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!....”

“This has been a favorite of ours all the years we lived in Connecticut from Darien to Old Lyme. Last. Night did not disappoint! 6 of us all ordered different dishes and there were raves for all of them. At the end of the meal, the chef/owner came to our table to see how we enjoyed our dinner. And chatted with us finally sending a plate of deserts to us. Everything was perfect and I cannot wait to go back especially for those crab cakes !”

“My friends and I had a fantastic experience dining at Drea’s by Goodfellas! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and intimate. The food was absolutely incredible—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared, and the complimentary bruschetta was a wonderful touch. Nick, our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening as well as everyone with filling our glasses with water and cleaning the table for the next course. We can't wait to come back!”

“I used Shoreline for my Son & Daughter-in-law’s Baby shower. I was in constant contact with Dena and she answered all of my questions & concerns. She set everything up with what was needed and wanted. She sent me one of the Servers for the extent of the party. Leidy was amazing and so helpful! I would use them again if I ever need another event catered & definitely would recommend them to anyone.”

“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!”

“P&M is my favorite local deli. After moving away from Branford 5 years ago, it is the one place that i ALWAYS make time to stop to eat when visiting friends and family back in town. There have been times I end up staying an extra day just to make sure I stop in for something to eat.”

Una Pizza Napoletana, a popular spot in New York, has just been named the best pizza in the world by the 2024 Italian 50 Top Pizza ranking. This is a major victory for owner Anthony Mangieri, who has already earned the title of best pizza in the U.S. for three years in a row.
Naples-born Rosso Pomodoro has landed in Denver. The Italian pizza franchise just opened its first U.S. location in the city's Central Park neighborhood at 29th Ave Town Center. "It has long been a dream to introduce our brand of authentic Neapolitan-style pizza to every corner of America,” CEO Nicola Saraceno shared his excitement.
Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitana, a 100-year-old Coney Island eatery, is looking for a buyer or partner to keep its legacy alive, but it has one important condition. Totonno's has made it through fires, floods, and even COVID, but there's one thing they'll never tolerate: pineapple on their pizza.
