“On Saturday, June 11th after my Mom’s Memorial service I brought 35 people to lunch. The waitstaff was well organized, very attentive, not to mention the food was OUTSTANDING!! Everyone ordered off the menu, drinks were served along with appetizers and dessert. We all ate at the same time which is hard to do with that many people. I would highly recommend Cafe Fiore in Branford, CT to anyone who is looking to have an event or just a nice lunch or dinner. They staff worked so well together that I gave them a 30% gratuity. WELL DONE CAFE FIORE!“

“Bobby’s Pizza has been a local favorite for over 30 years, known for its consistently excellent thin-crust pizza. As a pizza lover, I can say Bobby’s nails the perfect balance between crispy and chewy with their thin slices. The crust is light yet sturdy enough to hold the toppings without becoming soggy, offering that satisfying crunch when you take a bite.

The sauce is tangy with a hint of sweetness, complementing the fresh, gooey cheese that stretches with every bite. Bobby’s doesn’t skimp on quality, ensuring every slice is flavorful without being overly heavy. Whether you go for a simple cheese slice or a fully loaded pie with pepperoni and veggies, each bite is a testament to the care they’ve put into their craft over the decades.

Operating for over 30 years, Bobby’s remains a go-to spot for pizza enthusiasts who appreciate the simplicity and perfection of a well-made slice. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more, and with good reason. That’s why they call me the pizza gavone.“

“Just tried this joint for the 1st time ever and mannnnn...This is the type of independent Italian American deli that would make John Gotti shed a tear. One of the best Italian combos I've ever had in my lifetime. The amount of sandwich that this one man serves you for $10 should be the national standard for America. Last of a dying breed and I put that on Jesus sandals. I'd give this mf 6 stars if google would let me. God Bless.“
