Had high expectations going in and they were exceeded. The main part of the experience was the food and that pretty much made nothing else matter, every dish we had was fantastic and plan to go back!

As always, excellent food and a wonderful experience. From the bread course thru dessert, the food is outstanding. Thank you for continuing to give a 5 star dinner experience.

I didn't know what to expect other than great tasting food from what I've heard from other people's description. The actual experience was more than that! From ambience to the wait staff and attention to detail and the food and presentation was in fact chefs kiss. Went to celebrate my birthday and I left full and beyond satisfied. Can't wait to be back next season when they change their menu.

Every once in a while, you walk into a restaurant and immediately know: Oh, this is going to be good. Not “hope it's good,” not “please don't disappoint me,” but that calm certainty that you're in the hands of pros who care about every detail. That's this place. Truly farm-to-table—not the trendy buzzword version, but the real, literal, “we raised this, made this, and then cooked it for you” experience. We kicked things off with their Arethusa Farm cheese plate, and if you've never had their award-winning Europa cheese, you might want to prepare yourself emotionally. It's half the reason to order the plate... and honestly, half the reason to come here. What I love most is that everything feels intentional. The menu changes with the seasons, and instead of just rotating dishes, they seem to celebrate whatever nature is offering at that exact moment. Every plate is beautifully put together, with flavors that are balanced, thoughtful, and clearly the product of a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing. It's not a casual night out—you're going to splurge. But if you're going to treat yourself, this is the place to do it. Between the quality, the creativity, and that unmistakable sense of pride in every dish, it's a dining experience that sticks with you long after the plates are cleared. Hands down, the best restaurant in Connecticut. Plan ahead, come hungry, and prepare to be impressed

Review: The Halal Guys is one of the most famous Halal food brands in the United States. Their chicken and gyro over rice is delicious, especially with the white sauce that is creamy and perfectly balanced.

We come here annually and it never disappoints. Everything we selected was made to perfection. I would consider this place one of the best if not the best restraint in the state.

Our entire experience was outstanding. The service was stellar, we were never left waiting for anything and it was as if the staff were anticipating our needs. The food was exceptional. Every little detail was elevated and very well thought out. We are already looking forward to going back.

A perfect dining experience! The service was impeccable. The meal from start to finish and everywhere in between was masterfully executed. Acknowledging our anniversary was a nice touch and meaningful. Thank you Arethusa al Tavolo!!
Arethusa al Tavolo delivers a refined yet welcoming dining experience that perfectly balances sophistication and comfort. Set in a beautifully restored dairy barn, the restaurant showcases seasonal ingredients—many sourced from its own farm—in dishes that are both elegant and deeply flavorful.

For an extra special dining experience, I highly recommend Arethus Tavolo. The wine list is impressive as is the list of carefully prepared gourmet entrees.

Very good restaurant. Interesting combinations and textures. Visually appealing presentations. Mixed drinks and wine list was great. The service was outstanding. Ate at restaurant 11/3/25. Will definately go again even though it was an hours drive.
