“Great spot for classic Connecticut-style pizza. We tried the tomato pie with pepperoni: perfectly thin crust, chunky tomato sauce, and just the right crisp. The potato rosemary pizza was a pleasant surprise and ended up being a favorite. The garlicky white base was incredibly flavorful and paired so well with the rosemary and potatoes. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Had the best time and food! Our first time here and we sat at the bar. Drink special Simple Plan was tasty with a spicy finish so just right! We loved Tuna Tartare. Best tartare ever and we are not kidding. Poached Shrimp Tostada was good too. Spicy Caesar Salad delish to the last bite. We finished with Salted Caramel Crème Brûlée which was well balanced sweet and flavor tasty. We talked with others at the bar about their dishes and those got good reviews too. So we are looking forward to coming back.“

“Such a beautiful restaurant and it's perfect that it's near the Hartford Stage. The food was incredible and fairly priced and the drinks were really unique and the service was great. Highly recommend for anyone seeing a show or happen to be nearby.“

“*update: Bar Experience. The bar was very well equipped, the bartender ( Alex) was very attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Carlos made sure everyone was tended and had what they needed. Great teamwork behind the bar. The food Experience at the bar matched that of the dining room experience. The bar and restaurant was busy but Alex, Carlos and all of the staff hustled and the food was hot, tasted wonderful and of course left me wanting desert. If you have not visited this establishment, you are missing out. Everything from their service, their extensive drink menu, their delicious "tapas", their creative specials, their daily menu to their tray of deserts is an experience. Come on by, I promise you will not be disappointed. Check out the updated Bar Experience pictures. A hidden Gem in downtown Southington. This is our second visit here and we are absolutely in love with this restaurant. From its eclectic decor, super attentive staff to its fabulously fantastic tasting tapas and entrees....where do I truly begin. The owners ( Rob, is always stopping by to say hello and check in) are visible and make you feel welcomed, my waitress Alyssa was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious. The pictures below do no justice to the flavors that pop as you are eating them. You can't wait to come back. Oh I almost forgot....the drinks....the best Sangrias!!!! Yes! Sangrias...Sangrias!! You must stop by.“

“My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here on a recent Thursday evening. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, and served very well by the team at No Mames. Our drinks, appetizers, tacos, and desserts were all outstanding. We will return with friends!“

“I came here with a friend and we got burgers. My burger and mac and cheese were excellent. It’s the right type of cheesy. Definitely my new go-to place!“

“I have yet to write a review of something l haven’t seen, BUT I am the biggest fan of Drag Brunches and have only ever attended them in NYC - but l am ever so excited to go to Piggy’s for Sunday Brunch.STAY TUNED FOR MY FOLLOW UP REVIEW FROM YOIR FAVE FAG HAG!!! Love You All!!! ?️‍???“

“I used to love coming here pre pandemic! I brought my friend with me from out of town and we were having a GREAT night with the bartender Dustin (who literally was excellent), and at the end of the night it was just my friend, the owner, and I. The conversation was calm and civil and fun and suddenly out of NOWHERE the owner proceeded to verbally assault us, calling us expletives and making us feel unsafe and unwelcome. We decided it was no longer for us and stepped outside, at which point he FOLLOWED US OUTSIDE and alternated between apologizing and cursing at us and begging us to come back inside until we left. I’m glad we didn’t go back inside as his behavior was erratic and potentially dangerous, considering we were two women and he is a much larger man. We were afraid and felt safer walking home (in Hartford that says something) rather than staying put. I’m bummed because I used to like this place, but it’s come to my attention we are certainly not the only women with this experience. Please be careful y’all.“

“Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. The place was surprisingly busy. Service was great, attentive and food came out quickly. The portions were large and delicious. We each had a cocktail which was also very nicely balanced. I will be bringing my family here for gatherings.“

“Every bite we had was rich, delicious and flavorful. The Châteaubriand was perfectly prepared… And I found myself dreaming of the potatoes.“

“Delicious food and drinks! Will be back again!“

“I attended a baby shower there and it was delicious and the the staff and the manager couldn't have been nicer . The garlic cheese bread was delicious and the sweet potato ravioli was second to none. The whole meal was 5 star worthy. Can't wait to go back !“

“Best Chinese food in CT! Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food. This is not your typical American-Chinese restaurant, but it’s good as it’s meant to be cooked in China. Yum!“

“There's something about a small pouch of coins that a card just can't match!“

“Tasty food, but the service is lacking. My food came out wrong (the sever admitted it was wrong) and then she didn't key in a new entree so I had to wait 20 minutes before a new entree arrived. All of the other guests at my table were finishing up their food and they cleared everyone's plate as they put my fresh plate down. I felt very rushed. The service really took away from the dining experience.“

“I had gone here several years ago and was very disappointed. A friend convinced me to give them another try, so I did! My breakfast sandwich was delicious. I also picked up a chicken salad sandwich for lunch that tasted very fresh. I'm happy to add them to my food choices in town.“

“Wow! Thank you for opening a wonderful restaurant! My wife and I ate there last night and were raving about the food all night. The lemon dry-rub wings and stuffed pork chop with delicious sauce were out of this world. My wife has a allium allergy (garlic, onion, shallots, etc), and the chef specially prepared a salad dressing for her Harvest salad and salmon dish that she thoroughly enjoyed. Service staff (Candace) was also very attentive. We were heading to a show in Hartford and she worked with the kitchen to get us out the door in time. We will be back soon.“

“We love Taverna Grill. The best food around ( especially the French onion soup). The staff and owners are super. We go whenever we are in Bristol.“

“Great food , vibes and atmosphere.“

“I had the vegan chicken patty and the veggie patty. They were so good! I went to the stand in Parkville Market in Hartford. It's so nice to eat good vegetarian food!“

“When I asked at work where I should take my family for some authentic Pho, I was told to hit MECHA. we went today and it was superb! The staff were excellent and everything we got was top tier. The edamame, and mushroom dumplings were awesome appetizers and the Pho was awesome. I had the Pho King with the recommended greens and Thai chilis and it was the best lunch I've had in a long time. The limeade was soooo good. I can't wait to go back!“

“EXCELLENT SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND! Kudos to our server on Sunday, 6/22 and Carlos in the kitchen!! (Sorry I forgot our servers name but she was a tall blonde) I brought my friend’s son who has special needs there because he said it was “national onion ring day” and he wanted onion rings. Our server was so sweet because they don’t have onion rings on the menu, but she went in the kitchen to ask if there was any way my friend could have onion rings. A few minutes later, Carlos came out with a plate of onion rings for my friend who celebrated and said they were so delicious! What exceptional staff both our server and Carlos were to make my special friend’s day! THANK YOU! Highly recommend Hop Haus in Berlin!“

“Great experience loved the atmosphere and the food was great and very authentic. The sushi sashimi boat was a spectacle. Great service and a very good waiter that helped us with the menu and more. Loved the whole experience thank you Ninja Japan.“

“We felt the food and atmosphere were great, definitely a bit more of a fancy place than we normally go to. A bit pricey but the food was very good. My only issue and the biggest reason we most likely will not be going back is they do not have or offer a kids menu and were not very accommodating to kids. I understand it’s fancier place to eat but I was very unprepared when I had my son with me not knowing they did not have a kids menu. He ended up eating French fries for dinner and I had to go home to make him something else.“

“I made a reservation here on a Saturday for a date night with my wife and we had a great time. The atmosphere was cool. The service and food were all very good. (We had Cuban Sliders, Calamari and loaded plantain nachos). It was nice to have a unique restaurant experience for a change. It’s the type of place that everyone in the area should do at least once.“

“Creative menu Intimate setting Intriguing location“

“The ambiance is amazing...music is great and the FOOD!!!!! BABAYYYYY it is perfection on a plate“

“Five stars all around. Great, friendly staff. Tasty dishes with an artistic atmosphere!“

“The food blew me away for a tavern. It was delicious from the appetizer to the desert. Best meatball I ever ate. Would definitely drive the distance back to eat here again.“

“We celebrated Thanksgiving 2025 at Casa Mia. The ambience was lovely. The food offered was a family style four course meal. I ate so many yummy warm rolls, I barely had room for dinner for dinner. The staff had a lot of customers to serve for the seating and the provided outstanding service. The restaurant manager was personally greeting customers and ensuring they were happy with their meals. Keep up the good work!“

“We went to Wethersfield location for my Grandson's Birthday. I loved the sauce. Although they stated it had minimal cheese, I would have liked just a little bit more. I would definitely go back and recommend it. I like the way it was served and the way it was sliced. I liked the big, clean open space.“
