Máncora Restobar 901 Wethersfield Ave, Hartford Peruvian • $$

“This was our first time eating at Mancora and it was delicious. Our server, Julio, was great. When I asked for a sauce on my dish, he actually pointed out that they had a dish comprised of exactly what I wanted.

I had the pescado a lo macho and my husband had the pulpo. Both were fantastic - the fish was fried perfectly, the seafood in the sauce was cooked to perfection, and the octopus was so tender. We were too stuffed for dessert, but I’ll be back for an alfajor next time!”

Fire by Forge 539 Broad St, Hartford American • $$

“Through the grapevine (social media pages I follow), we heard that Chef Van Hurd from Season 6 of Hell's Kitchen was now the executive chef here at Fire By Forge! So naturally, we pulled up to check it out! (Disclaimer: Chef told me that he was so new there that his featured items hadn't hit the menu at that time. ALSO, he's been long gone from there at the time of this review.) So anyway, here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in Hartford, just a little on the outskirts is this gem. It's on Broad street a little out the way and there is a very small parking lot next to the restaurant, but street parking is also available. The outside looks very well put together and rustic. Once inside the restaurant is kinda split into 2 sections. You have the main section which is nice, open with high ceilings, bright red bricks, big windows, soft leather couches and all kinds of seating arrangements. If you walk past the bar you get into a smaller section, but it's kinda like a tunnel of tables. Lol. That tunnel of tables then opens up into what almost looks like a different restaurant, but feels like a space they expanded into. So there's plenty of places to sit, though I still encourage reservations! The atmosphere was lively and full of energy. This place also lets you know that it's a cooking school too! Amateur chefs can come here to learn knife skills and cooking skills as well! (This is just a small snippet of what they do, but I encourage you to visit the businesses website to learn more about what they offer.) Service: Here's my only gripe about this place. Right online it says "Happy Hour is from 4:30 PM to 6 PM daily and 8pm-9pm, except on holidays, events, or show nights." But like, when isn't there a show or some sort of event going at at The Bushnell or some nearby theater?! You have to literally call and check with the host to see if they're doing happy hour before you come because if you THINK you're in the clear, they can just say... oh there's a show tonight so there will be no happy hour. So that bothered me. Oh well. We still dined. Now for the good stuff! Let me tell you something about Suzie Johnson! She is the bartender here and she won BARTENDER OF THE YEAR in 2024 via the Connecticut Restaurant Association! She is a TREAT! She's full of personality, knows her stuff and is just a true pleasure. Food: First off was the Up In Smoke Old Fashioned. It had great, subtle sweetness up front, warm taste from the Up & Down branded bourbon, cold, smooth, not too harsh and of course, a bit smokey. As a courtesy to guests, they're served pickled carrots as palate cleansers instead of bread, crisps or anything like that. Clever. The first small plate I got to try were the Duck Mole Wings! These are described as "5 crispy duck wings with a tequila mole barbecue sauce, served with sesame seeds and pickled onions. These certainly looked the part! These were smooth, not necessarily crispy, extremely tender, hardy and just balanced. Mole is a very ingredient-heavy sauce and these were delicious. My 2nd drink was the Ghost Rider which is Up & Down bourbon, spiced Nightrider espresso, Licor 43 and an orange twist. This had a sharp cinnamon/hazelnut/nutmeg flavor/spice-y flavor. Very good and warming as well, even though it was a little sweet. Next up was the Knife Skills Soup! This is a soup compiled by the trainees and all the vegetables they've chopped in class! How cool is that?! It was a very thick vegetable soup, hearty, salty and warm. Next up were the Tostone Nachos! These were so fantastic. The pulled pork on top was so meaty, so tender and the queso fresco was lightly cheesy adding subtle notes to the hearty pork and carb-y tostone. This was my favorite thing of the night. My last drink of the night was the Sazerac. If absinthe is in the building, I must try that restaurant's version. This one was spectacular, but could've used more rye bourbon. The last thing we had to try was their Smash”

“Absolutely loved our meal at Pietro’s Pizza. We ordered the classic cheese pizza, and it was perfectly baked with a crispy crust, great balance of sauce and cheese, and excellent flavor. The garden salad was fresh and crisp, with quality ingredients that made it more than just a side. The spicy Cajun wings were a standout—well cooked, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat.

Great food, solid portions, and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Pietro’s to anyone looking for good pizza and wings in Hartford.”

“Clean and bright. Standard Subway fare, so take that as you will. Always good in a pinch. I think the staff does a good job making the food. I'm being picky, but there's a hanging plexiglass pane right in front of the register, and it's just kinda in the way. Not the worst thing, but awkward.

I think the only thing to note is that this location is in Hartford. Doesn't make it inherently bad, but hey, you get some characters. As with any place, just go about your business and don't interact. Again, literally doesn't matter, could be a Karen saying dumb things, or folks who are just a little too high looking for cookies and chips. All the same. Plus, this is a 24 hour location, so you gotta respect it.”

Atmosphere had a very comfortable home-like feeling. Service was not overly and just the right amount of attentive. Drink/wine selections were excellent. But the best most quality aspect of course was the actual food. The dishes that I and those with me had were nothing short of outstanding. Reasonably sized and priced. If you know Portuguese food, then this is what you would expect as far as offering classic/traditional options. If you don’t know Portuguese food, then anything you’re going to try on this menu is surely going to be pleasurable. This is now going to be my go-to place. It’s well worth the drive if you want to ensure that you are going to have a gratifying culinary experience!”

The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem.

“(Note: This review is for the Albany Ave. location) This won't be a popular review. For decades my family would frequent Scott's Bakery. We loved everything that they offered (hardo bread, beef patty, coco bread, plantain tart and so on). When I said we liked EVERYTHING, I mean it. Everything was on point!! Yesterday was my first time (and last time) going into Scott's in about a decade plus. It is clear that management has changed (if not management, something has gone horribly wrong). The shell of the patty was beyond thick and there was little meat in it. The coco bread was beyond disgusting! It was a flavorless clump of undercooked dough. You know how coco bread is supposed to taste. It didn't taste like that at all. It seems as though they've cut corners on their peanut punch which had a gell-like texture. The BEST part of everything that I purchased was the Cola Champagne. As long as they continue to use the same distributor they can't mess that up. Maybe they had a bad day. I won't be spending money to find out.”

It hit every taste bud on my tongue. My husband got the brisket grilled cheese and it was out of this world good. Perfectly balanced. Not too much bbq sauce, right amount of cheese and a nice crisp bread. The tater tots were perfectly fried and salted. They were so good we didn't even need ketchup. We will for sure be back.”

Some customers don t even know that tax for cook food and restauration it s 7.35% not 6.35 % claiming that we over charging them too
The last person he s soon called for a party pizza we have limited numbers of party pizza dough for party pizzas like any other pizzas .the dough goes in the carbage if it does not sale that why we limited our numbers of it .we told he s soon we sold out he did not say any thing.he s father called 5 min later did not want to accept that we limited number I talk to him with a lot of respect and tried to explain to him why we have limited number he s claiming that he work for pizza place .I think he s laying and he does not know anything about pizza. He s laying juste like when he said he s cousin called one hour later and I give him party pizza .that a lay if he can prove it I will give him $200 worth of food on me . He will not be able because it a lay . I can prove to any body that s a lay using my cameras that I did not sale any party pizza to any body.

“If you’re craving delicious, authentic Mexican food, look no further than Fuego Picante! This spot truly stands out, and their Birria Quesadilla is hands down the best I’ve ever had. The meat is perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy, paired with just the right amount of cheese and crispiness in every bite. It’s absolutely mouthwatering! The Shrimp Quesadilla and the Birria Mulitas are also pictured which are just as delectable.

The customer service here is top-notch – the staff is always friendly, welcoming, and eager to make sure your experience is fantastic. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their food.

One of my favorite things about Fuego Picante is that their food is always hot and fresh. Every dish I’ve had is served with care, and you can taste the difference in quality.

I also love that they post their hours on Instagram every day, which makes it super easy to know when they’re open. It’s a great little touch that shows they truly care about their customers staying informed.

Overall, Fuego Picante is a must-visit for anyone looking for flavorful, fresh Mexican food with amazing service. You won’t regret it!”

“Wow! First time in the food court and decided to try this burger place. This exceeded my expectations. The burger and fries tasted fresh and delicous. The staff were friendly, the prices are also very reasonable. $16.09 for a double cheesburger with fries and a drink. Not bad! I will be back!”

Lucan's Grill 800 Main St, Hartford Food Trucks • $$

“I got food here at the Glastonbury Apple Festival on 10/19 and it was really good! I’m Jamaican myself so I’m usually a little skeptical but the food was delicious, I got the escovitch fish with festival and fried chicken with rice and peas and curry gravy. I believe it was a man that made my food so I can’t speak for anyone else but overall it was very good.”

“We went here with my in-laws and my kids. Every single one of us got something different. My mother-in-law got delicious barbecue. I had Puerto Rican food that was absolutely to die for. It was great that everyone could have something different and still sit together. There was music playing and the vibe was really good. We will definitely go back again.”
