“I had never been. I went with some friends for Spiritual Night. There were five psychics there for readings, etc. It was a great experience. The restaurant is in an old bank building and is said to be haunted! The food as well as the service was wonderful!“
“Its mostly the pizza I go there for and the happy hour drink specials. Always a good pie every time I go and who doesn't like a $6 martini..The staff are always friendly, courteous and attentiveThe bar is large and accommodating with a few tables in the bar area as well..I've had several selections from their menu and was always happy with the meal but it's primarily a pizza place for me..An oldie but goodie.. Italian pavilion has been part of the valley for over 50 years and I've been going there for a few slices and a coke since they were located in the Ansonia mall..their newest location in Derby is across from Shoprite and is easily accessible from Rt 8 with plenty of parking...“
“Are you kidding me? How is this a 4.2 rating? The inside is nothing special but I don’t eat the inside. I go for the pizza and that pizza is fabulous. Sometimes I think the crust could be a little too thin but it is a great tasting pizza.Dave Portnoy really underrated his review but I don’t think he really knows what good pizza is. Lol.“
“A True Taste of Italy in Milford CT!!As a proud Italian who recently relocated to Milford, CT, I was ecstatic to discover Strada. This hidden gem is the epitome of an authentic Italian restaurant, providing an immersive cultural experience like no other.

Whether it's the perfectly al dente pasta, the heavenly pizzas or the mouthwatering seafood dishes, the quality and authenticity are unmatched.What sets this place apart is not just the food, but also the exceptional staff. The personnel here is fantastic and professional, providing attentive and knowledgeable service with a genuine Italian hospitality that makes you feel like family. And of course, Giuseppe, the owner, is a true gem. His passion for Italian cuisine and culture shines through in every aspect of the restaurant, and his presence adds an extra layer of authenticity to the dining experience.If you're in search of a true taste of Italy in Milford, look no further than Strada Trattoria Italiana! Whether you're an Italian longing for a piece of home or simply a food lover seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure, this place will exceed your expectations. Trust me, as an Italian, I can vouch for its authenticity.“
“I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant so I finally tried it tonight. I ordered takeout and it was one of the best pasta dinners I ever had. The portion was big I have lunch for tomorrow. The price was also reasonable especially for seafood. Definitely will be ordering from here more.“
“Absolutely love this place! Been going frequently for a while and then we had them cater at work for an Open House Event and it was a smashing hit! Everyone loved the pies, meatballs and wings! Love this place and management is very wonderful especially with how large and hectic our order was for work! Can't thank this team enough!“
“I usually come here at least 1 time per week to get the amazing chicken cutlet however I ordered the cheeseburger and fries and it was hands down the best burger I have had and also the most affordable in town not only are the staff welcoming and really nice but they remember you and always greet you with a smile this place deserves the world“
“Ever since moved here, this has been my go-to Italian restaurant. They offer a classic italian menu and seasonal cocktail list. The service is top-notch, and they can almost always accommodate whatever requests you may have. Even after spending my time in NYC I still would take this hidden gem over anything else I have had. I find their seafood in particular to be a cut above the rest. If you haven't tried it yet, its a must.“
“One of the best Italian restaurants around. The owner is from Sorrento and he brings the Italian charm. Very traditional menu with fresh homemade items. The pizza is light and fresh. The pappadella al ragu is one of the best dishes. The homemade pasta is extremely light and airy. Great atmosphere and spot for lunch or dinner.“
“Had a party for My Aunt’s Carole 85th birthday party, John and the other guy provided us with great service along with the owner Linda with great flexibility with what we needed. Plenty of delicious food. I also wanna thank Linda with letting us have our own private room that made everything alot easier for us will definitely have another party in the future.“
“Been dying to try this place and finally did, very impressed! Great atmosphere, food, and drinks. Hard working staff! Melissa was a great, outgoing, hard working bartender who was constantly hustling. Will definitely be back and highly recommend it!“
“This is the cutest little spot. Very unique spin on dishes and absolutely delicious. Don’t pass on the carpaccio, it is to die for. One of the best bartenders anywhere in the state, Dani H, delish and creative mixology drinks and presentation was outstanding. Thank you Dani for a great night!“
“First time coming to Wellingtons restaurant and it was a wonderful experience. I don't usually give over 4 stars but this was well deserved. We got lost due to a map issue but after speaking to a employee they helped guide me to the correct lo“
“Recently I’ve visited Bin 2x. First was a bridal shower and all first shelf food, service, and atmosphere.Tonight was there with a special friend who is moving out of state. The service was amazing, food delicious, and price was right on point. I’ve never been disappointed with Bin and neither will you.“
“We went to celebrate my sister's birthday last Sunday. I really dont do Italian, but this restaurant was ok. The service was phenomenal. The owner and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The appetizers were okay. The disappointment started with the calamari they just served rings, no tentacles, and they were overcooked and chewy. The crab cake was decent, but they should use a lump crab for the price. The linguine and clams were awesome. I enjoyed the fresh pasta. Everyone else enjoyed their meal as well. The cheesecake cake and the limoncello cake were great. I would definitely go back again. To try other pasta dishes that are on the menu. Go check it out. I think you would enjoy it“
“Hot and fresh food. The service is friendly and pretty fast. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed and cozy. Good pizza here! They use really fresh ingredients for the pizza. My wife and I have come here multiple times for pizza and other Italian dishes“
“I thought the dinner room needed a new update. The room is smaller than I expected. It was very noisy . I think the bar area was more quiet. The waiter was very polite and served us well. The food was delicious and nicely presented. The fillet could have been a little more tender but overall I was pleased. I had eaten here previously for a function and the food was amazing then also. I will come again.“
“Me and my man go here on dinner dates often and it’s amazing every time. The food is really good and all the bartenders are really nice. We usually get Brie who’s always super nice and we never wait long for our food. I highly recommend this place!!“
“We ordered 2 pizzas and a few meals using the site called Slice when we searched for a phone number for Vincent's. We felt that there were 2 issues with our order. We ordered penne ala vodka and received penne with meat sauce. We also ordered a specialty pizza called Margherita pizza and we received a cheese pizza. We did contact the restaurant and we were told that the ticket they received had not stated penne ala vodka but it did say meat sauce. As for the Margherita pizza they make it slightly 'different' and we had received the correct pizza. It looked and tasted like a cheese pizza and there was no fresh basil in or on it at all. The menu states that the Margherita pizza is made with Plum tomato sauce and fresh basil topped with mozzarella cheese. So it is different as this description does not state that fresh mozzarella is used but we expected to have seen the green fresh basil in the pie and the sauce tasted similar to what was on our sausage pizza.If we are to order from them we will not use the App and we definitely will not order a Margherita pizza as we like it the way it is 'normally' made and not the 'different' way that the restaurant makes it. Otherwise the food was good.“
“This was a great experience, such an amazing atmosphere. Greeted with smiles all around, the waitress was great, the owner stopped by and told me the special, but I was only in the mood for salad and pizza. This pizza was great, crispy, the right amount of sauce and cheese. I am looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes that they have, I will also try a drink next time. They truly go out of their way to make you feel like family. Such a great place!“
“I went during prime dinner time and they were understaffed, so they could've been more prepared. The bill came out to $236.00 plus tip for two adults and the food was spectacular albeit pricey!! Parking was a problem, beware. I'll definitely return, the food was that good!!“
“Where do you start, I've been enjoying Georgies food since he opened his first restaurant in White Hills. The food at GGs is beyond good from the apps to dessert. The specials are always changing giving you an array of choices. We were there yesterday and ordered the Chicken Parm Ravioli and the Meatball Lasagna and salad. We didn't even make a dent in either one and the portions are massive. When I was looking at the Specials on the menu board the desserts sounded so good I knew I had to get something. Beyond full I ordered two to go. We had the Lemon and the Bungalow cake. A slice of heaven on a plate. If you've never been then its a must try and patrons that have, know what I speak. The Best of the Best!“
“We dined in last night (10/12/23) we had a party of 5. Our server was top notch, our meals were extremely delicious and outstanding in their presentations. The photos do not do any justice. I had Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Pinot Grigio White and my wife and I shared the Carrot Cake.“
“Me and my individual went there last night. We each got our own pizza. Broccoli & chicken pizza, pepperoni pizza. Both were very delicious especially with that crunchy crust not too crunchy but just perfect. The family there was very nice, helpful and funny. All and All definitely will be returning for more pizza.“
“Ordered a large pepperoni pizza for pick up, i drove down there and the older women was in the middle of making the pizza as i walked in. I paid for the pizza with younger lady there and i had a comfortable seat as the pizza cooked, i like to get the pizza fresh and hot as soon as it comes out of the oven to bring it home still hot for the family. The inside of restaurant looked clean and cozy for dine in, tv's playing and holiday lights on. The pie with one topping and tax came to $21.47 which is alittle more than i would like to pay for a one topping large pizza but all in all it was cooked well and tasty still when i got home. Something to note is that if you want to do a half one topping pizza, it still cost the same amount for the one topping cost which i don't particularly like when restaurants do that.“
“Under new ownership! We stopped in for a meal and I ended up being highly satisfied, started with bread and an oil garlic and herb did, that had a lot of aroma and fine taste. Bread was hard shell soft inside perfect to soak up the oil. We ordered espresso martinis that were excellent in taste! Then the salad, great color to the greens and crunchy croutons with a great Cesar dressing. The meals Fra Diablo calamari in spaghetti and a shrimp and scallop special with broccoli rabe cooked with knowledge and heart. Finish with a Sauvignon Blanc. What a great meal and they are making the dining area cozy and warm. Exactly what you need when you eat at an Italian restaurant. I will continue to dine in and out.“
“Had a bridal shower @ Gusto’s on 6/3. The food and service were amazing. We chose not to pay the extra money per person for bringing in our own dessert, so we ordered the cake through Gusto’s which was delicious! The cookies ordered by Guso’s were left by many of my guests on the table as they were stale. Being Italian, I was very embarrassed and brought it to the manager, Ellen, attention the next day and she was going to talk to the manager. She checked with the “bakery” and they said the cookies were fresh. My suggestion is bring your own cookies and pay the addional $2.00 pp, you’ll be happy you did. I have not heard back from her or the owner, as Ellen said I would hear back in a day or two. ☹️. 4.9 for FOOD, SERVICE and CAKE. 1 for COOKIES.“
“We discovered this place recently but fell in love with it immediately. This restaurant has great food and atmosphere. Salads are excellent, soooo tasty, and one of our favorites is Mare Caldo (seafood) in red sauce. Octopus is also fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good food and a classy environment.“
“Paradise Pizza is the best! Most authentic Greek pizza in the area by far. Their bar pies are the things dreams are made of. Great salads, apps and entrees as well. Friendly staff, clean never disappoints. Check out the bar area for a sporting event and you will be pleasantly surprised by the great atmosphere. A true Stratford gem/institution located right on Paradise Green. Check them out!“
“Love this place. Fresh meats, cheeses, delicious prepared foods and a small selection of Italian ingredients to stock your cabinets. Great place to grab a quick sandwich or buy your picnic supplies. They are always so nice here and have that "locals" vibe.“
“Had Guy Peters for the 1st time last night & it was delicious. I ordered take out for my family. The woman on the phone was extra helpful & a delight. We had cheese pizza & pasta. Both were great. Best pizza in Ansonia so far, we've tried 5 places so far. The pasta didn't have the thick marinara like I normally like & I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. We'll definitely be back“
“Came here on a quiet weeknight and was amazed by the authentic Italian cuisine. Started off with a wonderful Burrata then I had the Rigatoni Bolgenese with was really good. We also bought a loaf of the Italian Bread to bring home. That bread with some Cabot butter and you are on to something!! Would visit again.“
“Cj is a good cook. My favorite is oxtails, white rice with cabbage. Once in a while I'll get something else. When they do have fried chicken, breast only, I get that. Beef and veggie patties, sometimes the j*** pork. ? I like CJ's, I usually go every Friday.“
“This place is a must try. Mohammed is the sweetest most kind person and gives the vibe of a small town buisness owner who really cares about knowing his customers. He moved here since 1997 and the restaurant looks very retro. Pizza was good, perfect flat crust and not too oily. It was only $10 for a large pie ! (I believe Monday to Wednesdays) highly recommend !!“
“Amazing place! I was able to put in an order all the way from the South to my Grandmother in CT for her birthday thanks to their team! I was able to place the delivery on the GrubHub app! So awesome! Thank you for making her a delicious pizza for her birthday & bringing to her when I was unable to ! :)“
“I always liked their food but was always put off by the 2 brothers indifference/gruffness, so I didn't patronize them too often. The last 2X I've ordered, the food was great and the brothers weren't running the front end operations.?“
“this was our first visit to Paolo's. the food, the staff and ambiance was nothing less than awesome. words that immediately come to mind are relaxin, comfortable, delicious and friendly. We just discovered our favorite local restaurant. I highly recommend Paolo's if you want to feel like you just visited Naples. enjoy.“
“Recently moved to Ansonia, was craving baked ziti and went to some other horrible pizza place with the worst and most liquid/grease filled baked ziti I EVER had! Gave it another shot and ordered from here, my bf and I TORE THIS UPPPPPPPP. THE PASTA WAS AMAZINGGG????. WE ARE ORDERING FROM HERE AGAIN and expect us to be regulars! When we saw the ziti we both agreed THIS is what real baked ziti should look like!The mozzerella sticks also didn't even last 2 minutes with us!!! They were all great and so cheesy?❤️.The delivery guy was also a TOTAL sweetheart, will be tipping more next time (he def deserves a raise). Everyone who works at this place clearly puts love and care into the food, place, and delivery. Thank you for the amazing food, I wish you guys prosperity, fluid business, and a bright future ?.“
“We've been to La Fortuna 2 or 3 times and have always enjoyed our experience. My husband decided that we should take Easter off and go out to dinner. He called to make a reservation for 1pm.When we arrived, the restaurant was bright and festive. We were created by smiling faces and Happy Easter's. As they brought us to our table, the bartender acknowledged us and said happy Easter with a bug smile. The manager was visible throughout the restaurant greeting and checking on patrons as well as providing backup as needed to the waitstaff.Our waiter was Marco. He created us and took our drink order to give us time to look at the menu. The bartender brought our drinks and chatted. I was happy that their regular menu was available and had planned on ordering something from there until we saw the specials. We started with tri color insalata...so fresh and the dressing was so good. We then ordered the stuffed salmon which was stuffed with crabmeat and shrimp and came with spinach and mashed potatoes. Absolutely out of this world. The salmon was cooked perfectly. There's was enough stuffing but not so much it took away from the dish. The sauce was tasty and added depth to the dish. The spinach was also cooked perfectly with some fresh garlic. We really enjoyed our meal. We finished with a piece of cheesecake and a tiramisu and some coffee.Absolutely fantastic meal.The staff works so well together. Everyone is always smiling. They make you feel welcome. You feel like family!Great experience as always.Can't wait for our next date!“
“Thank you to Biagio's Osteria for making mom's 85th birthday celebration simply wonderful. Staff, food and service were 5 stars top notch. The family oriented atmosphere and the white glove treatment made mom feel like a queen. Highly recommend!“
“I recently attended a private party there. The staff was extremely accommodating to my gluten intolerance issues and made me a separate gluten free meal which was very tasty and included gluten free bread and ice cream for dessert. I highly recommend them.“
“I haven't had pizza like this since Sally's Apizza! The sauce is definitely homemade, the crust is perfectly thin, and the cheese is so delicious!!! Their prices are great, and the service is so friendly. they make you feel like you are family.“
“Beautiful place , the food was fantastic. I've passed by this place so many times and always say we gotta go there sometime. Finally made it in today and was well worth it. The service was very good , old school Italian. Everything we had was great and I only wish I didn't wait so long to go.“
“I have ordered from Two Friends a few times and each time the food was amazingly fresh and delicious. I have orders chicken quesadillas twice because they are my ultimate favorite! They are like homemade. I also ordered the tostadas and they are delicious. I have also ordered the pizza and it is quite good! So far everything I've eaten there was really good. This place has me hooked! Keep up the good job, serving quality fresh like homemade food !“
“It's like going to grandmas house! I had the chicken parm lunch special and it hit the spot. A full and flavorful bright red sauce two big pieces of chicken and a perfect topping of mozzarella. Friendly service in a pleasant atmosphere. So when you miss grandma head to FrancoGianis“
“Hubby and I ordered from Bella Rosa tonight. Hubby had the cheese pizza and I enjoyed the Lula Grelhadas. My meal was succulent. The calamari was tender and the broccoli rabe had just the right amount of garlic. The piece de resistance was hubby's pizza crust. Each time he was finishing a slice of pizza I was asking for the crust. It looked beautiful and tasted absolutely yummy. Crunchy on the outside soft inside. Perfectly done. Yummy.“
“I love their pizza it's the best around I think. And it is also made quickly so the wait time is minimal. I love that it is close by. I don't think it has delivery but for the price and quality of their pizza it's worth it to just go yourself.“
“Really good, locally produced gluten free pizza crust. Not just a mass store bought crust. Wife got the regular white pizza - loved it. I had the GF Hawaiian w hot cherry peppers and pepperoni. It was awesome. Owner was in, took a lot of pride in their store and was super nice. Best pizza in Connecticut?!?“
“I love this restaurant. First the food is like eating in grandma's kitchen. Second portions are large. Pricing is most reasonable. The staff is friendly and they remember you. Even better, with every table full, you can hear your table mates easily. Never loud.Vegetarian options: Pasta with plain tomato sauce. House salad is superb.Parking: I haven't had a problem. Yet you can park across the street easily.“
“Truly BEST ever eggplant! I just took two full sized trays back with us to Cape Cod. One for us and one for a friend who used to live in CT! All we've had there is great but the eggplant is heavenly. Happy the orig owners are back. Staff so friendly, efficient and accomodating! Thank “
