“I visited on a Wednesday which is open mic. The bar is spacious with an outdoor patio which is a nice amenity. It was not very crowded and no one was really paying attention to the show. I felt bad for the comedians. I ordered the special appetizer which was nachos and empanadas. The empanadas were very good but the beef nachos not so great. I always order beef nachos and it comes with ground beef. These had little hunks of something that I guess was beef it just wasn't very appealing. The bartender Kat was attentive & friendly I met some nice people there. My review is mixed today but I will go back.“

“Sfogliatelle! They offer it frozen! Get it, pop it in your air fryer until golden brown and enjoy feeling like you are in heaven. It’s filled fully with great quality cheese and orange peel.

“This olive garden is the first one i've been to that doesn't have a strong smell of bathrooms when you go in. In a lot of olive gardens, the restrooms are right next to the entrance, and boy was that a poor choice in design. Instead of smelling the excellent garlics breads, you get that weird smell of pee mixed with deodorant salts. This is my only vomplain with this franchise older restaurants. But rest assure this one isn't one of those. We went in at 4 pm, everyone had a smile, the service was quick, refills where plentyfull and we had a great time. Great restautants for the kids too. For allergic customers, their garlic breadsticks are dary and egg free and they taste sooo good. Portions at olive garden are very large and prices are fair.“

“We drive about half an hour for their pizza because it’s always consistently great. I have food allergies, including dairy and gluten, and we’ve ordered many pizzas here without any issues. Their gluten-free crust is excellent, and I’ve never had any problems after eating it. The staff are very friendly, always remember our orders, and take careful precautions to ensure my food is safe.“

“We had my husband's 90th birthday party on September 14th with 21 people in attendance. The food was great and as usual up to par, service was great and the day was beautiful. We got to see the shotgun tournament that began at 1:00 where all the carts went out to their respective holes. Impressive sight. My only only complaint was we were told another event for 40 people was to begin at 1:00 pm and we could not have the space used for that number of people. On the day of my event, there was no other party and we were not offered the space. Therefore, my family was spaced out and not able to socialize with one another. Small complaint I know but it did make a big difference.“

“Absolutely incredible food, music and service! Kitchen is always open. Come check out the CT Super Open Mic on Thursdays as well as their Monday and Tuesday open mics!“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

“Great place, friendly staff and food was great“

“Thank you for a great birthday dinner for my daughter! Not only was the food and atmosphere amazing but I love how present the owner is. From seating us, to asking my daughter what her favorite app was and giving it to us on the house. He also noticed we didn’t order a dessert (we were all full and had leftovers) so he asked us if he could give us a dessert so we could sing happy birthday. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Had the mushroom ravioli and it was great! The servers we very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back.“

“Love this place, perfect lunch spot while working on the road. The steak sandwich.It is quite different from most places. This is not shaved steak, but cut very thinly. They roast your own peppers, which are excellent. There veal cutlet is also very good. They offer hot plates throughout the week that changes every day. It's a very authentic italian deli“

“First time trying this place.Went there craving beef tips in marsala sauce, but they didn't have tips (not their fault, they were just opening for the day and the meat shipment was running late), so we substituted with a regular steak with the same sauce.The interior is small but more beautiful than I expected with a nice atmosphere.My server was a lovely woman, the table bread was excellent, my steak was a bit thin, but cooked perfectly and the sauce more than made up for it (soooooo good), and for the price I was pleased.I'll definitely be going back in the future.“

“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“
