I’m usually not a fan of prepared foods, but got a selection of their offerings for the week. Everything I’ve tried has been absolutely outstanding, each dish better than the last.

“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!“

“I am a big fan of B & W’s overall food quality especially the variety of salads, especially the tunafish & fruit. Met a woman from Branford who comes especially for their Broccoli & Tunasalad a ***** always fresh. The homemade dressings delish especially the Honey Lime my favorite. Yes standing in line is never easy but servers work very hard to keep up with food requests & always willing to make the selections exactly as requested. We on the Shoreline fortunate to have such a great place to order such a variety of home cooked food.“

“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.“

“Great sandwiches, lots of choices hot and cold! It was fairly busy during lunch, but the guy made those sandwiches pretty quick!The bread is all made fresh, the chicken salad was amazing. They also sell homemade pastaLots of drink choices and chip varieties.“

“Stopped by on our way through CT from Long Island. Was pleasantly surprised with how great this pizza was! A little on the greasy side but nothing you couldn’t pick up with a napkin. The only “negative” was the inside is very plain. Not a ton a decor, but that’s not really important. Would deff come “
