“Great atmosphere. Old school mahogany booths“

“Tried out the new pizza place here in town. The staff were nice, easy to order and friendly when picking up. The inside was clean and cute. The pizza was really good! I like a good thin pizza. I got pepperoni bacon and a cheese, picked up fresh from the oven and nestled inside a cardboard takeout box. The pizza was melted evenly across the surface, forming a smooth, slightly bubbly layer --ready to serve or devour.
It's the kind of pizza that screams comfort food, perfect for movie nights, casual hangouts, or solo indulgence. They offer tacos, pastas and soups as well.“

“We were in the area looking for food on the way back home; came upon this pizzeria. The worker was very kind and quick with making our pizza that we called in 5 minutes prior to showing up. Pizza ready within 12 min, and was very good. Would come here again.“

“Excellent Food, great drinks and super friendly staff!“

“This Italian restaurant is truly exceptional and consistently goes above and beyond every single time. Whether we’re dining in for a casual dinner or hosting a larger event with their catering, the experience is always outstanding.

The food is absolutely incredible — authentic, flavorful, and made with such care. Every dish tastes homemade and fresh, from the sauces to the desserts. Whenever we’ve had parties catered, our guests always rave about the food and ask where it’s from. It’s become our go-to recommendation without hesitation.

Beyond the amazing food, the service and attention to detail really set them apart. They genuinely care about their customers and it shows. We’re so lucky to have a place like this — highly, highly recommend! 🍝🇮🇹“

“Cafe Pesto's is a wonderful restaurant right on route 4. It has a wonderful selection of Italian dishes with Spanish influence. I have been here several times with my wife and have had amazing meals every time. Great cocktails, quiet atmosphere, and pesto that you need to try.“

“This is the best restaurant in the state of CT! Maria is a wonderful person and welcoming. The bartender Amy is also wonderful she knows you by name and the drink you always order. Great staff and food! If you haven’t been you need to try Ria’s!“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

“We miss the Noto Italian Market already. Wonderful, delicious cheese lasagna better than my mother's. Please, please offer it again once you reopen the Italian market in Plantsville. Right now I don't even see lasagna on the menu but many people I know love it and I have been keeping a couple in the freezer too. Hope you plan to continue to offer it. Everything in the Italian market was good. The sauces, cheese etc.“
