50 Best Italian Restaurants near New Fairfield

“So we went for dine-in service on Thursday and was helped by a delightful waitress. I never caught her name though. She was great with menu recommendations and made our guest feel very much at home with her attention and jokes. It was such a great experience - we had pizza for take-out on Friday. It was delicious and pick up was a breeze. Thank you!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience at our first time at Rebellion tonight! From the vibe and atmosphere, to the most amazing drinks by Dorian at the bar and the incredible, elevated food (Bronzino & NY Strip to be specific) and just an absolute amazing experience overall. A must visit! 5 🌟 all the way!!“

“Gisellas has been our favorite go to Italian restaurant in DANBURY since it opened. Food is always delicious and consistent and the wait staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Unfortunately last night we had a different experience the moment we walked in the door. Hostess was very unfriendly and dismissive, no eye contact and acted like she was doing us a favor seating us! Thankfully, like always, the rest of our dining experience was amazing!“

“Great Dining experience. Delicious entrees, service and family.“

“You want a really excellent pie?
Perfect crust. Not too thick or thin that's lightly crisp and doesn't flop.
The sauce is very flavorful, perhaps a little on the sweet side.
Generous selection of fresh, quality toppings.
The cheese was perfect without the too often unwelcome excessive grease.
Skip new haven brand lines and hype. This mom and pop out shines!
And the staff couldn't be nicer!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Went here for brunch with some friends and ate at the rooftop. It was slow when we arrived because we ate at an off time but that made it better because it was such a nice atmosphere to chat and relax. By far some of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It was $27 for an appetizer, main course, and dessert which I thought was a great price. You won’t be leaving here hungry! I would definitely come here again.“

“Had the best birthday dinner last night. My veal scallopini was perfection and the NY strip was delicious. My husband also had an appetizer with crepes stuffed with chicken and mushrooms which he said was outstanding. The service was so friendly and impeccable. Even though we were the last customers before closing we didn’t feel rushed at all. Always amazed that Chef Carlos is the one that prepares your meal all these years. La Piccolina never disappoints.“

I had the sea bass over risotto. The bass was cooked to perfection! And their service was excellent as always! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We highly recommend Portofino’s and we will definitely be back soon!“

“First time back in over 20 years. Food is decent for an Italian Chain Restaurant. Went back for the buy one, get one deal. Definitely worth it in this day and age with the inflation of things. Felt the chicken parm was too salty. Good service. Overall a good experience.“

“The food is delicious, love their chicken parm dinner, pasta figoili, well, everything they serve. The employees are the best, friendly and always happy to see you! Don't pass this restaurant up. They are the best!“

“We had Mangia Mangia cater our recent rehearsal dinner - it was hands down the best food we have had in a long time. Everything was perfect- Raquel was a tremendous help and she took all the stress away from hosting a large party. I HIGHLY recommend using them for anyone looking for catering a large event. Bladimir, Joline and all the staff were very accommodating- we even called and got 10+pizzas delivered the day after the wedding too!! Huge Hit!!“

“My husband and I tried Bora Restaurant for the first time last night. It was excellent!! The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Great sandwiches and chicken cutlets“

“Their thin crust pizza is excellent, and friends who've had their Philly cheese steak sub raved about it. In addition to stopping here for slices, I've also had a party catered by Bambino's and they went way above and beyond, the food was a huge hit with my guests. One of my very favorite pizza places with plenty of other great selections on the menu. Very friendly place!“

“I've passed by this place several times and never thought to go in—thank God I finally did. This is a true Italian deli. My mother, who is full Italian, was in awe of the items they had—it brought back memories of her childhood. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich, and it was fantastic—one of the best I've ever had. The owner was incredibly sweet and accommodating. If you're looking for authentic Italian specialties like pasta, sauces, sweets, or just an amazing deli sandwich, this is the place to go.“

“BEST PIZZA IN PUTNAM COUNTY! If you haven’t been here yet you don’t know what you are missing!“

“Always delicious!!!* I feel like I should say more, for new customers. I have been eating here since the mid 1980s in a different building. I have seen many waitresses come and go. Most are very good. Some are excellent! A couple have been a little odd. I have met and known all three brothers. The one thing I can always count on, always consistent - their food is incredible!!! Every single time! If it weren't so good I wouldn't keep coming back! And, introducing new people to their fare! Love you guys!“

“Best pizza around, salad was great too.“

“This place was delicious! I cannot recommend it enough. We had Helmut as a server and he was great. We asked him for recommendations and they were great! Even though it was very hard to cut through the gluten free pizza crust. But we got it cut and eaten. The rest of our meals were so good! Gluten free pasta, mussels, salmon and pasta, lobster ravioli - all wonderful!“

“thin ny style crust is great!“

“This is a hidden gem! I never knew it was there and a friend brought me to this delicious, quiet spot. The food is so good and they have great specials. Kind and easy going staff, they're very caring about food allergies. We love the casual night out vibes where we still feel pampered!“

“great food & set up for a gathering of 30 in party, everyone so friendly-Jose and owners were so welcoming!!!“

“Best Pizza ever. Great customer service and terrific food. We just stopped in one day and have returned many times. It was a great surprise to find. Everything we have had has been great. Enjoy!“

“Great place to stop in to when you’re craving a a simple deli-style sandwich. Nothing too fancy but hit the spot I needed it to. Got the Italian combo on white bread, added pickles and dressing on the side, and ate the whole sandwich. They have a nice sized menu, a couple sides in the to-go cooler, a good variety in the beverage cooler and the staff were attentive and kind. Outdoor seating is always a plus. Will definitely be a return customer if I’m in the area.“

“Love love love your pizza Chicken parmigiana the best I ever had Service is always good Francine Westgate“

“The food and cocktails are great, and the hospitality is even better. They know the service industry! Best happy hour in Brookfield. Wish I had discovered this place sooner.“

“Best pizza in CT! I’m a super picky pizza person! Very happy I found this place!“

“Just a wonderful atmosphere with AMAZING meals! The staff is so attentive and friendly. The menu selections? What more can I say other than I wanted to try everything? Food is deliciousness you just cannot find everywhere but at Castello's. I highly, highly recommend Castello's for an AUTHENTIC italian meal you will never forget.“

“Mezzaluna restaurant is a great place to visit. I live in South Carolina and when my wife and I travel to NY we always visit Mezzaluna several times a week. The food and service is always excellent as is our usual waiter, Nick. He is great at his job, very friendly, observant, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The owner who we recently spoke with on the phone is very friendly and makes you feel welcome and special. If you are looking for a great place to dine in I highly recommend Mezzaluna Restaurant“

“We recently celebrated my mother`s 100th birthday at Pulcinellas with about 40 friends and family and everyone is still talking about it ! Linda ensured perfection all around. The pizza, antipasto, entrees (chicken champagne, veal francese, eggplant rolatini, penne a la vodka), and sides were delicious and plentiful. The pistachio BD cake was gorgeous and tasted out of this world! the staff was so attentive to everyone's needs and the piano player added to the festive atmosphere. Thank You Linda, John and team for making the event so special and memorable for my mom and our entire family“
