“We ended up ordering a large pepperoni pie and traditional buffalo wings and boy was this worth while. The consistency of the cheese on the pizza felt like I was in a teenage mutant ninja turtle episode with the cheese pulls. The wings were the PERFECT level of crispy and balanced out with the buffalo sauce. Price is definitely worth the visit. They also offer traditional Latino dishes which look like they're made authentically, so we will be stopping by again! Great mom &pop shop to visit!“

“Such a lovely place with delicious authentic food! The patra and samosa are a must try, and the aloo paratha with chole puri was amazing. What made it even more special was how warmly aunty and uncle welcomed us — their hospitality makes this place feel just like home ❤️“

“Absolutely outstanding! 5 star experience from start to finish! Our hostess was a gem! Very kind..Our server Peter was a professional.. made some wonderful suggestions on wine and appetizers! And one of the most important parts was the food! It’s a must try! Memories were made! Can’t wait to go back and enjoy a beautiful experience if they’ve gave 10 stars the Essex would get an 11 cheers“

“Amazing place! Best Sushi around!“

“What an elegant spot to dine at after a nice beach trip. The blueberry lemonade was so pretty and fresh tasting. The crispy chicken sandwich was flavorful and the fries on the side were well cooked. Nice views of the sound from sitting on the patio outside. I would like to come back here to stay at the hotel and check that out!“

“Debs was on my list of places to try for a bit! A new favorite spot. My boyfriend and I enjoyed corn chowder, hash, special blueberry pie stuffed French toast, and a special queso Philly cheesesteak “mess” which was like an omelet with all the Philly ingredients plus jalapeños. Deb joked and said I’d need a nap after the meal. Everything was SO GOOD!!! And I do enjoy a nap. Big fan. So many more things I can’t wait to try!“

“Tonight we ordered hot wings- and we are flat lovers! We asked for at least half flats, and our wings came and they were ALL flats! Kudos to the kitchen for accommodating us! The wings at village are A++++ and Becky, Lindsay and Mary are the best waitresses, very attentive, friendly and quick on their feet! ! Thanks Village!!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Grano Arso. We did the 5-course tasting and every single dish was phenomenal from start to finish. The flavors, presentation, service, and atmosphere were all on another level. You can tell a lot of passion and attention goes into every detail here. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Connecticut. Perfect spot for a special night out and definitely worth the drive. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Great place. we love everything about it. food, service and eating in. try everything, it's worth it.“

“Best Pho in all of Madison CT. It is extremely delicious and I haven’t been able to find a place that is as welcoming and warm as it is here. The service is awesome and the people are there are always so sweet and great! Love to how the Pho with Beef, always makes my day better! Their sides such as spring rolls and egg rolls are also super delicious!“

“I had THE BEST breakfast ever! I have been wanting to go to the Turtle Cafe for a long time and finally got to have breakfast there. I ordered the breakfast crepes with salmon and lemon sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly, on time and the chef was great, too.
I will return! Recommend Turtle Cafe to anyone wanting a fantastic meal.“

“My wife & I have been enjoying MANY weekday meals at TJ'S for more than several years. And I can honestly say that we have, not only enjoyed the food we ordered, but, more importantly, the caring and attentive staff that we have dealt with over those years.

My son also really enjoys their salmon dish. I wish Otter Cove had more visibility to gain more recognition because it’s fully deserved. Well, not on a main strip it is worth the drive!The food is really really delicious and you owe it to yourself to go there for a treat!“

“Amazing food every single time!! Beautiful hidden jewel in Westbrook CT!!!“

“Our first time visiting, what a fantastic spot! The food was delicious and Kate was super nice. I would highly recommended the biscuits and gravy! Every single thing was delicious 😋 We cleaned our plates. The environment was friendly and welcoming.“

“Moodus DaVinci - Okay, as if I haven't spammed the internet enough already about this place, I HAVE to post about my wrap. I got the Chipotle Steak wrap. It was a decent size portion. I saved half for lunch today. The best part? it was JUST as delicious upon reheat as it was last night!!! it wasn't soggy. It did not fall apart. Most importantly, it was so so good!!! There's nothing I would have added or taken away. I can't wait to get it again! Since I haven't left a review on this page specifically yet, I'll add that the wings here are phenomenal!! There's many kinds but garlic parm is my fav. So, if you're looking for a good wing spot in this neck of the woods - look no further!“

“If you’re looking for the best breakfast in Old Saybrook, this is it. The food is consistently on point — legit homemade vibes. The biscuits and gravy are a must, and the eggs are always cooked exactly right (which sounds simple… but isn’t everywhere). Prices are more than fair, portions are solid, and the whole place just feels comfortable and genuine. Service is friendly, quick, and makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. Definitely one of those shoreline go-to spots“

“Slice Mob Takeover

Nine members of the Slice Mob walked into Sal's Pizza & Pasta hungry. The pizzas never stood a chance.

Located in Old Saybrook, Sal's is spacious, comfortable, and welcoming, with Italian classics playing in the background and plenty of room for a large gathering. It proved to be the perfect setting for a Slice Mob takeover.

A variety of pizzas made their way to our tables, but I started with the basics: crushed tomatoes, fresh garlic, and grated Parmesan. Sometimes simple is best.

Built on a beautifully crisp crust that held up from first bite to last, this pizza let the tomatoes shine. They were lightly seasoned and full of flavor, supported by the punch of garlic and the salty bite of Parmesan. No unnecessary distractions. Just a really well-executed pizza.

Next up was Sal's Works. Same great crust and sauce foundation, loaded with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, roasted peppers, mushrooms, onions, and mozzarella.

This pie struck a nice balance between meat-lover indulgence and vegetable-forward freshness. The toppings were applied with restraint and purpose, allowing every ingredient to contribute. Salty, sweet, savory, and packed with contrasting textures, from crispy bacon to tender sausage and vegetables, every bite worked.

As more pizzas arrived, the room got a little quieter. That's usually a good sign. The Slice Mob tends to have plenty to say, but when great pizza hits the table, conversation takes a back seat.

What stood out most?

Not a single complaint from anyone.

And if you've ever dined with the Slice Mob, you know that's about as rare as finding a parking spot in New Haven on a Saturday night.

Michael, the second-generation owner, came out to greet us and pose for a photo. Super nice guy, humble, appreciative, and genuinely happy to see us. He also couldn't help but comment on the number of pizzas we ordered. Fair observation. We may have slightly exceeded the recommended daily allowance of pizza.

The restaurant is beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. And perhaps most surprising in today's world, the prices were incredibly reasonable.

Judging by the smiles around the room, the empty trays, and the steady stream of pizzas coming out of the kitchen, Sal's didn't just feed the Slice Mob. They won us over.

Great owners. Great staff. Great pizza.

Sal's Pizza & Pasta is officially Slice Mob Approved.

Pizza is life. See you at the next slice.“

“I celebrated my birthday at the Seal tonight. We haven't been in a while. I had the Short Rib Ravioli, Mom had the Serloin Steak, my wife had Tuna and our son a grilled cheese. Everything was delicious! Our server said she was new, but did a great job. We finished with warm Carmel apple pie! It was the perfect ending to a great night!“
