“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!....“

“Food was delicious & staff was friendly, prompt. They went above and beyond.“

“I went Branford Beach for the first time today. What a great experience!! Amazing breakfast sandwiches!!! Coffee, hot latte, cappuccino and Iced latte were all so tasty!!! The chocolate cheese muffin was top notch!!!! No it’s as well we’re so good!!!! Highly highly recommend!!!!! Oh and the staff are friendly and super helpful!“

“Excellent menu, food, staff and ambience!“

“I think it’s mentioned that they have the best ice cream in the state, which is definitely the case! The winner for me and my wife is the pumpkin ice cream, only available in the fall. It’s a winner every time, but all their other flavors taste great!“

“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!“

“First found Ninth Square at CompassionFest! Food SO delicious & healthy - now that we’ve found their New Haven place we can get the food more often. The pictures & videos make my mouth water!!!😋“

“Everyone here is so kind. I stopped in today on a busy Saturday, I was struggling a bit with my baby nephew. 2 staff immediately noticed and started playing with and talking to him while I got myself together. Another staff member saw how overwhelmed I was and brought over some ice water and kept checking in on us. Even though they were slammed, they took the time to focus on and help us and I appreciate it tremendously. Thank you!“

“Nicest pizza maker ever!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Modern Apizza is our favorite pizza restaurant. Always a must when we are in New Haven. Nothing comes close in Florida“

“You must eat here! One of the great meals of all time. The food is spectacular and the service is just as good.“

“Munchies makes the BEST cheese steak in CT hands down!! Sooo good!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“@shellandbonesoysterbarandgrill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful birthday party with my beloved wife. Her request this time was seafood, and I indulged her with this excellent decision. I highly recommend it. Especially the BOUILLABAISE 49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass in their red sauce was delicious! The salmon and the kids' meal were good, even though it was a Monday, the place and the bar had a great atmosphere. Food: BOUILLABAISE $49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass (It was delicious, my darling) SALMON WITH PEPITA COVER $40* Spiced Pumpkin Puree + Broccoli Rabe + Tomatillo Green Sauce DRINKS: Mojitos Margaritas We're almost there; An excellent place, we loved it so much that we made a reservation through Opentable, which never fails. I recommend going to Bajada del Sol. I highly recommend it. Shell & Bones Oyster Bar and Grill“

“Incredibly delicious and unique!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit today, the food was delicious and the service EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for offering the GLUTEN-FREE injera and all of the creative vegetarian dishes... we loved the fresh and flavorful salads (Key Sir Selata and the Timatim Fitfit), then had the best Ater Kik and Tikel Gomen I have ever had in my life! We will definitely return, and highly recommend to anyone in search of authentic Ethiopian cuisine!“

“Ordered: slice of cheese pizza and a meatball sub with fries. I have been wanting to get pizza while in Connecticut and finally made it happen. I enjoyed my slice of cheese and wished I had gotten more than one slice. The meatball sub made me forget about wanting more pizza. Excellent toasted bread, the meatballs were sizable and the sauce and cheese were good. If you follow me then you know I like spicy so I’d recommend getting a cup of hot sauce to put on your pizza and to add to the sub, but even without hot sauce the food is great! The fries were crispy outside and a nicely cooked soft inside. I would recommend to all, they also have a regular restaurant aside from their vegan menu as part of their business so if you bring non vegan friends they can have whatever they want. May go back again before I leave CT to try something new or to get another tasty slice of pizza. Updated from previous review on 2026-09-08“

“Cute little coffeeshop with very good coffee“

“Jaw dropping selection of fresh dried medicinals. There is nothing like this near me in PA. Family owned. 💜“

“We recently attended a New Haven high school reunion at Lost In New Haven Museum. The Olde World Pizza Truck was hired to serve 70 people. The food and service was excellent. Everybody in attendance commented how good the experience was. The staff was friendly and professional, serving different pies on a timely basis. The salad and Gelato was a nice added touch. There was plenty of extra pizza for the people to take home. All trash was cleared, no extra work. I highly recommend this company.“

“Great atmosphere. Food is worth it—not vegan? Still delish. Try it—you’ll see!“

“Great family Customer Service food is incredible every time“

“Absolutely delicious food in tremendous service!“

“Loved the atmosphere, the fantastic customer service, the food, and the coffee. Would absolutely go back.“

“I first saw Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies at a craft show at the High Plains Community Center. I tried a sampler of six (out of the eight available) flavors: • Traditional chocolate chip • Salted caramel • S'mores • Cannoli • Blueberry lemon • Orange creamsicle The other flavors were oatmeal raisin walnut and peanut butter chocolate chip. The six flavors I had were absolutely amazing. The cookies were light and flavorful, absolutely delicious. They make gift baskets too, so you can share the goodness. Highly recommended.“

“Always beautifully decorated and delicious. We tried the cannoli cheesecake this year for my daughter’s birthday and it was awesome.“

“Sit at the sushi bar for the best experience ever from amazing sushi masters! Kevin and his team are incredible!!!“

“Over a decade of deliciousness! It’s been 10 years, and I can still remember the Shrimp Bisque and other scrumptious soups. There was always an allergen-friendly option, which was just barely catching on back then. My husband would have soups delivered to the hospital if he couldn’t have lunch with me in person. Every time it rains in San Diego, we think of Soup Girl. So many flavors, very fond memories.“

“The food was amazing, and the spice of the food was potent and flavorful! It was fantastic!“

“Popcentric recently came to a back to school event we had. The kids and adults all loved the popsicles! It was a great alternative treat to have.“

“If it were not for Alisha, I doubt this experience would be notable or memorable. On the surface, this is just a regular diner, a place I stopped by while hungry. I entered with no expectations. However, Alisha was beyond incredible. She was attentive, caring, patient (I take a while to read the menu) (it's a problem), and always there when we needed her. She made me feel like I was her only table on a busy Saturday morning, even though I could see how busy she was you'd never tell by her service. The food was fine. But Alisha was exceptional. I don't think I would have considered returning, but having her as my server, they can definitely expect me again (as long as she's serving). Very diner. I've never left a review before, but she was so incredible it had to be known.“

“I love this ice cream place it is great place for friends and family!!“

“Amazing fresh juices! Love the variety of flavors.“

“The food and service are all you could hope for! So far the curry dishes have been my favorites, but I’ll be coming back to try everything! 💋“
