“I was recently there for dinner with my wife . Food was good , service was excellent and the entire staff could not have been more accommodating and we interacted with a number of them . Nice decor and spoke about coming back in summer months as the venue would be great . Unfortunately we will never go back . When I got the bill I saw that they charged me 75 cents for mustard that I requested for my deluxe burger , I was infuriated . The catsup was free but was blown away by a charge for mustard. Did not complain or even mention it . It was minor on a $60 bill plus a 25% tip . But the fact that someone would nickel and dime you like that said I will take my business elsewhere . Can you imagine doing that?“

“Good bar grub - their pizza is sourced from some of the best in New Haven - but the Chai Martini is next level. I'm a tea guy but I like espresso martinis, and this just has chai instead which is top notch delicious. A nice drink in a Shelton dive, but the bartenders and regulars are also some of the nicest people. Come by!“

“Gusto is absolutely FANTASTIC! My family went there yesterday for my mother's birthday and we all thoroughly LOVED it. The food is incredibly delicious and well-portioned. Our server, especially, was really wonderful, very peppy, caring and attentive. Don't know her name but she is around 4' 11" - 5' 2", wears eyeglasses and is of Asian descent. She's really terrific, as are the chefs. Been wanting to visit Gusto for several years. Well worth the wait.“

“Top notch establishment, the staff is amazing with the best service I’ve experienced in CT“

“Great time and great drinks!“

“Quite good food and service. Very well executed on basic fare that left me delightfully surprised. The atmosphere lacks polish but is clean and friendly. It’s a place that stands on food and reputation, so if you want a reliable bite and a beer, I would recommend.“

“So after running around town looking for a club or a bar to hang at for my out of town family we found this place. It was a cool chill mature crowd. Dj was good I didn't get to try the food that's why the low stars but I hear the food is good. Plenty of space to hang and drink and also dance.“

“We had the most wonderful experience at Caloroso Eatery & Bar. Unbeknownst to me, my family planned a surprise birthday party and had it at Caloroso’s in early December. Because the weather was still good, the party took place in the Sky Terrace…the space was very inviting and large enough to accommodate the 33 of us! Ashley and others of the Caloroso team made sure that no one went thirsty or hungry! The buffet of chicken parm, chicken marsala, pasta, salad, and more was totally delicious and plentiful! The large screen in the room made it possible for all to see the birthday trivia game through which I relived lots of happy memories and milestones! I had no idea what was waiting for me when I walked up the stairs and went through the doors into the Sky Terrace…and I’ll never forget the SURPRISE experience! Thank you, family, and thank you Caloroso team for helping to make the day a cherished lifelong memory!!“

“Food was excellent. My friend ordered the sea bass and loved it. I ordered one of the salad/rice bowls and it was delicious. Suzanne was the best waitress ever! She was friendly, funny and gave good recommendations regarding the menu. Ended up having friends show up and none of us were without service when it was needed. She was always there with a smile! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Sat at the bar ordered my food to go. Everything was delicious until about half way done and I FOUND A HAIR IN MY FOOD. Then I call and explain what happened they told me they could NOT do anything to fix the situation. This establishment is dirty and unsanitary. DO NOT EAT HERE“

“Could use a revised changed up menu items!!!“

“Very nice place for lunch or dinner. The food is excellent and everything tastes fresh and well prepared. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with family or friends. The service is also friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal and a pleasant dining experience.“

“I went to see one dancer and I liked the privacy of receiving private dance. Parking was easy and accessible after traveling all the way from Waterbury. The club was not as crowded as I thought it might be for a Saturday night. Found out from one of the staff that it gets busier towards later in the night. Guess I timed my visit just right 👍 - LOL. Will definitely be back to visit and see my favorite dancer.“

“Great food, great service!“

“3rd. Time at Mercato. Food is good. Problem is the music! If you want to eat and relax, forget it! If you are 15 and like loud disco type music, this is your place. They need some relaxing jazz, Opera, Sinatra etc. However picked the music for an Italian Restaurand, knows nothing about a relaxing atmosphere!!!!“

“We want to thank you for your great hospitality and delicious food. My husband 50th celebration was a success. We definitely use your establishment in the future. Excellent service! Special shout out to Sam and George for accommodating us. 😍“

“Great Lunch at Marketplace!! I made a Reservation since it was a Friday but there were plenty of open tables if I had not!! I don't go out for a nice Lunch very often!! Our server was very attentive and answered our menu questions!! They even split our dessert into 2 plates which was wonderful!! I only wish there was a Lighter Lunch Menu. Loved my short rib grilled cheese sandwich!! Yummy!! My friend loved her Salad Bowl, too!!“
