“The only issue with this restaurant is the availability of parking. Yep, I had to walk 1/2 a mile. But that is a small price for this outstanding dining experience. From creative cocktails to wonderful warm house made bread and an entree menu that is ever evolving. Don't miss dessert because you are in for a real treat. This may be Connecticut's best restaurant. Enjoy walking the village of Chester. It is a classic New England storybook village.“

“What a little gem hidden in a quaint area of CT. Purchased a Groupon and wasn't sure what to expect but were we surprised. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, we were approached immediately to be seated. Dining room had a warm feel with table linens and napkins. Server, Ashley provided excellent service and was very knowledgable with specials and questions we asked. The salad to start was perfect with enough dressing but not overdone, enough Gorgonzola for flavor not excessive and the display of vegetables was impressive. The pasta dishes were exceptional with their home made freshness and the sauce was delicious with much flavor. The menu has many options for your liking and descriptive to make ordering easier. The dessert menu had many options all which looked delicious as we noticed most tables were indulging, so we did too with the gelato. We will return with friends and family. Please try this place, you will not be disappointed and I dine at many restaurants.“

“Great meal and service. Spacious and quiet.“

“Great pizza, awesome bar with plenty of local beers to choose from. Don't expect a quiet sit-down though, the tables are right next to the pickleball court.

Parking: Big lot

Kid-friendliness: Yeah it's a bar, but it's very chill, and most people are cool with kids being there.“

“SO SO SO SO GOOD. We couldn’t decide so we got 3- a margherita, a classic and a mashed potato. The sauce is incredibly, and every pie was perfectly balanced with ingredients and an insane crust that was both chewy and crunchy. 🤌🏻 perfecto!“

“My husband has been raving about Pasta Avest for awhile now and we finally made it in together yesterday afternoon. AMAZING. The Sicilian pizza was to die for and the service was wonderful. I can't wait to try the pasta! I highly recommend!“

“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.“

Their NY style pizza was authentic I was able to fokd their slices in half and the cheese to topping ratio was perfect. The staff was very friendly as well. We onky had pizza this time, but plan to go back and try other items on the menu. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends.“
