“great food. great service. great atmosphere.”

“Even though I was the only customer there at the time, the servers were efficient and did their job well. The only thing I was curious about, was no greeting.

I had to phone home to get some info for the order and within 4 minutes of placing it, the items was served. The food was decent and the quality was as expected considering the price.

Clean place with more than ample parking - I hope they do get good business. It's a few minutes off Rt 9, so it's worth the stop when you need to refresh. It definitely beats many city DD's I've visited due to the surroundings and space.”

“This place is amazing in all regards, it is our go-to dining out spot of choice. As others have noted, the birria is absolutely incredible. The detail that brings my family in consistently is that it is a standard meat you can order any of their many offerings with. Kudos for that idea ! Note: They are no longer at 50 Rapallo avenue. They moved right around the corner to a more visible location that will get more foot traffic passing by, I hope it works out well for them. I believe the attached map has the new location correctly shown, the posted address has not been updated. As of mid April 2026, they were closed to renovate the new location, I was told their projected re-opening was going to be in early - mid May. Good idea to call first. If the owners or any customers have an update on that, it would be great to post. My daughter and I are suffering from La Casa Mania birria withdrawals and need a fix soon !”

“Amazing food, fabulous service, the best Sushi around by far! Taste, freshness,presentation and service cannot be beaten!”

His service was excellent and he was extremely polite. The food came out very quickly, too. We will definitely come back for food, drinks and fun.”

“I had such a great time at Arrigoni for Mother's Day. The wine slushies were delicious, the staff is nice, the band and ambiance were great. An outstanding experience all around.”

“I just did a birthday party there for one of my kids. They were so attentive, helpful, and friendly. We can't wait to come back again!”

“Debs was on my list of places to try for a bit! A new favorite spot. My boyfriend and I enjoyed corn chowder, hash, special blueberry pie stuffed French toast, and a special queso Philly cheesesteak “mess” which was like an omelet with all the Philly ingredients plus jalapeños. Deb joked and said I’d need a nap after the meal. Everything was SO GOOD!!! And I do enjoy a nap. Big fan. So many more things I can’t wait to try!”

“Best Italian ice and ice cream in the state! Workers are pretty cool too 😉 super nice and give back to the community as often as they can. Can't think of a better small business in Deep River.”

“Wow !!! A group of 4 of us were traveling through the area and needed a good place for Dinner …We called and made a reservation , the owner Al was very personable on the phone .We arrived for dinner and he had our name on table , and he introduced himself …We had a couple of beers while he explained the menu to us ….we Decided on a couple of appetizers and also a small pizza to sample before ordering our dinner . The appetizers arrived and were very good, but the star of the show was definitely the pizza , so much flavor … the crust was to die for light and airy and so much crunch in the crust !!!! Next was the Dinner - Chicken Francaise , Chicken Parm , Chicken Marsala , Fettuccini Carbonaro .All meals arrived hot and were Delicious …We also got to meets Al’s Daughter who was very personable just like her Father ….We wished we had this Restaurant in our community . Give this Restaurant a shot , you won’t regret it . Thank you”

“Parsley in Middletown is a go-to for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food. From crispy falafel and juicy shawarma to vibrant salads and homemade sauces, every bite is satisfying and made with care. The Family Mixed Grill is a highlight—perfect for sharing, it comes piled with tender shish kebab, chicken and lamb kebabs, and perfectly grilled lamb chops. Generous portions and bold seasoning make it a must-try. Don’t skip dessert—the homemade kunafa is warm, gooey, and deliciously crisp. Pair it with their baklava or ma’amoul cookies for a sweet finish. For a more relaxed experience, head to the cozy second-floor dining room—great for enjoying your meal in a quieter setting. Friendly service and consistently great food make Parsley a true gem on Main Street.”

“Last week, while I was in London for work, I stopped by Shah’s Halal Food. I usually avoid fast food or shawarma spots because of my strict diet, but I chose this place for two reasons: they serve halal food, and during a snowstorm it was the closest option available. I’m really glad I did it turned out to be a great experience. I ordered the Chicken Salad Bowl with grilled chicken chunks, cucumbers, lettuce, chickpeas, hummus, and a variety of flavorful sauces. It was perfect for my no-carb diet and everything was fresh, tasty, and very satisfying. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a halal, nutritious, and budget-friendly meal. The staff were also incredibly polite and welcoming.”

“Fantastic pizza! I'm pretty picky with pizza..I was impressed. service was great too! 👍🏼”

“A true gem when you're craving something homemade. 💗 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Great place to go for a beer, cocktail, band or an appetizer. Their prime rib Wednesday is phenomenal!!!”

“Great food! Our take out order for 15 people was filled perfectly and did I mention the food? I had empanadas and Gordita, both very tasty! Although we did take out, the indoor decor was very nice and inviting.”

“BEST PLACE EVER!! Ice cream was my love but since going here, their Italian ice & gelato is my absolute FAV! Such an amazing hidden gem in Middletown, I usually buy pints to keep me happy through winter when they close. Great customer service, clean store inside, a variety of options, and they give you a lot for the cost. Vecchittos has my heart.”
