Everything was perfect- Raquel was a tremendous help and she took all the stress away from hosting a large party. I HIGHLY recommend using them for anyone looking for catering a large event.

“We recently celebrated my mother`s 100th birthday at Pulcinellas with about 40 friends and family and everyone is still talking about it ! Linda ensured perfection all around. The pizza, antipasto, entrees (chicken champagne, veal francese, eggplant rolatini, penne a la vodka), and sides were delicious and plentiful. The pistachio BD cake was gorgeous and tasted out of this world! the staff was so attentive to everyone's needs and the piano player added to the festive atmosphere. Thank You Linda, John and team for making the event so special and memorable for my mom and our entire family“

“Great place to stop in to when you’re craving a a simple deli-style sandwich. Nothing too fancy but hit the spot I needed it to. Got the Italian combo on white bread, added pickles and dressing on the side, and ate the whole sandwich. They have a nice sized menu, a couple sides in the to-go cooler, a good variety in the beverage cooler and the staff were attentive and kind. Outdoor seating is always a plus. Will definitely be a return customer if I’m in the area.“

From the very beginning, you are treated as family! The staff embraces you with open arms plus an occasional warm hug from their world-renowned Chef Giovanni!! Wow, can this guy cook, Mamma Mia!!!

“Absolutely wonderful experience at our first time at Rebellion tonight! From the vibe and atmosphere, to the most amazing drinks by Dorian at the bar and the incredible, elevated food (Bronzino & NY Strip to be specific) and just an absolute amazing experience overall. A must visit! 5 🌟 all the way!!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Gisellas has been our favorite go to Italian restaurant in DANBURY since it opened. Food is always delicious and consistent and the wait staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Unfortunately last night we had a different experience the moment we walked in the door. Hostess was very unfriendly and dismissive, no eye contact and acted like she was doing us a favor seating us! Thankfully, like always, the rest of our dining experience was amazing!“

“the food is delicious and the service is great“

“Went here for brunch with some friends and ate at the rooftop. It was slow when we arrived because we ate at an off time but that made it better because it was such a nice atmosphere to chat and relax. By far some of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It was $27 for an appetizer, main course, and dessert which I thought was a great price. You won’t be leaving here hungry! I would definitely come here again.“

“its a wonderful place love the food“

“Had the best birthday dinner last night. My veal scallopini was perfection and the NY strip was delicious. My husband also had an appetizer with crepes stuffed with chicken and mushrooms which he said was outstanding. The service was so friendly and impeccable. Even though we were the last customers before closing we didn’t feel rushed at all. Always amazed that Chef Carlos is the one that prepares your meal all these years. La Piccolina never disappoints.“

“We never have a bad experience here. From the moment you walk in the door everyone is welcoming and friendly. We love Edras, he’s always so polite and happy and truly loves what he does. Vivian always makes delicious drinks to our liking! Lucia’s is one of our go to restaurants no matter the day!!“

“Love this restaurant and the food is delicious“

“The best pizza in Danbury! 5 stars!!“

“It has been awhile (too long) since we’ve eaten at Portofino’s, just busy. It was very nice to be recognized and they were genuinly glad to see us “back”! Our dinner was delicious! I had the sea bass over risotto. The bass was cooked to perfection! And their service was excellent as always! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We highly recommend Portofino’s and we will definitely be back soon!“

“First time back in over 20 years. Food is decent for an Italian Chain Restaurant. Went back for the buy one, get one deal. Definitely worth it in this day and age with the inflation of things. Felt the chicken parm was too salty. Good service. Overall a good experience.“

“First time there. Our hostess was also preparing drinks, answering the phone and then she was our server! What a trooper. Lots of menu choices. Meals were all delish: baked rigatoni, penne vodka, chicken Frances, beef stroganoff and a cavatelli dish. Yum! Lovely atmosphere.“

“My husband and I tried Bora Restaurant for the first time last night. It was excellent!! The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Great pizza and friendly service“

“Scott and his team catered our wedding this September. If we could provide more than 5 stars, we would! He was more than accommodating and made this process stress-free. We gave him ideas about what kind of food/style we were hoping for and he ran with it. We were not limited to a pre-created catering menu and were told that he and his team could make "anything we want". He provided recommendations from our reception space, to service style, and menu to even linens. We are still getting comments from our guests raving about the food and service from our wedding. Scott and his team exceeded our expectations and then some. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing pizzas and fantastic food. Very tasty cocktails and fast service with friendly staff. Beautiful interior and lovely summer patio. Fantastic experience overall!!!“

“Great sandwiches and chicken cutlets“

“The best, my favorite, pizza joint on Mill Plain Rd, on the Westside, in Danbury! The crust is thin, has that slight crunch, folds easily to cradle the abundance of toppings. Oh, and the meat lover's version, wow! Full-size toppings (hubby & son raved about it)....and my fave, the veggie...spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, garlic, peppers, onions -LOADED & DELICIOUS! But, you cannot go wrong with a plain cheese either... Not greasy, perfect balance of cheese to sauce. My dad's favorite pizza spot, too... and no loss of memory makes him forget how to get there!“

“BEST PIZZA IN PUTNAM COUNTY! If you haven’t been here yet you don’t know what you are missing!“

“This place was delicious! I cannot recommend it enough. We had Helmut as a server and he was great. We asked him for recommendations and they were great! Even though it was very hard to cut through the gluten free pizza crust. But we got it cut and eaten. The rest of our meals were so good! Gluten free pasta, mussels, salmon and pasta, lobster ravioli - all wonderful!“

“great food & set up for a gathering of 30 in party, everyone so friendly-Jose and owners were so welcoming!!!“

“Always delicious!!!* I feel like I should say more, for new customers. I have been eating here since the mid 1980s in a different building. I have seen many waitresses come and go. Most are very good. Some are excellent! A couple have been a little odd. I have met and known all three brothers. The one thing I can always count on, always consistent - their food is incredible!!! Every single time! If it weren't so good I wouldn't keep coming back! And, introducing new people to their fare! Love you guys!“

“The food was really good. This was the first time I was here, but I will definitely return we ate in, and the owner was very friendly he even offered to make a small pizza while I waited for my girlfriend to get there. If you haven't tried this location, you are missing out.“

“thin ny style crust is great!“

“Best Pizza ever. Great customer service and terrific food. We just stopped in one day and have returned many times. It was a great surprise to find. Everything we have had has been great. Enjoy!“

“I love this restaurant and the family that works hard every day. Always quality food for a great price.“

“Asked for extra garlic on half of a large pizza. They actually put slices of garlic on it! ❤️ Slices of garlic! ❤️ I was expecting the usual processed minced garlic, but nope, they sliced garlic to put on my pizza. I'm really impressed. And the pizza was amazing!“

“Love love love your pizza Chicken parmigiana the best I ever had Service is always good Francine Westgate“

“Everything that I have had, has been great. Friendly staff as well. However, prices on the menu on their website are not accurate. Website needs to be updated as it’s misleading to customers.“

“Just a wonderful atmosphere with AMAZING meals! The staff is so attentive and friendly. The menu selections? What more can I say other than I wanted to try everything? Food is deliciousness you just cannot find everywhere but at Castello's. I highly, highly recommend Castello's for an AUTHENTIC italian meal you will never forget.“
