“EXCEPTIONAL Italian deli. Cool little place and very friendly.“

“This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I ordered a side of meatballs and a large Pepperoni Pizza. The meatballs were excellent, moist, tender, with great flavor. The pizza was also very good. Great crust with some nice crisp and a tasty sauce. The portions were nicely balanced. The only down side was the pizza was larger than the box so three slices were bent over. On a scale from 0-10, i would rate this 9.1.“

“This restaurant is one we have come to love. Our server, Maggie, was absolutely wonderful — so attentive, kind, and very professional. She truly made our evening special. We started with the stuffed mushroom caps, artichoke hearts, and a Caprese salad, and all of the appetizers were outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We had the filet of sole stuffed with crab and it was absolutely delicious. Allison had the lasagna with a Caesar salad and it was out of this world. The birthday girl had the manicotti with a Caesar salad, and she said it was transcendent. We finished the meal with pistachio and spumoni ice cream balls covered in chocolate, and of course the birthday girl had a slice of their amazing chocolate cake topped with a birthday candle with everyone singing Happy Birthday!!! It was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. By the end of the night, the birthday girl was so happy with her meal that she kissed the chef — which really says it all. It was a truly lovely evening, and we can’t wait to come back.“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Grano Arso. We did the 5-course tasting and every single dish was phenomenal from start to finish. The flavors, presentation, service, and atmosphere were all on another level. You can tell a lot of passion and attention goes into every detail here. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Connecticut. Perfect spot for a special night out and definitely worth the drive. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Round 2 for Valentine's Day dinner... A completely new spot for us that DIDN'T disappoint..

We will be back. Thank you to the whole Morina family.“

“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!“

“The BEST pizza!!! Always crisp bottom, perfect crust and fresh ingredients. The staff is wonderful and the restaurant is charming and clean. If you're in a hurry they have pizza by the slice for a quick lunch. 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.“

“This place is more for take out, but they gave a few tables inside and some picnic tables outside. The service was great took our order and the pizza was ready in no time at all. 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.“
