Restaurants in Newington

“I’ve now been to Casadoro three times, and this latest visit was hands-down the best yet! This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Italian-American comfort food with a fresh twist. Great happy hour.The new bean and garlic dip is an absolute standout—creamy, garlicky, and loaded with herb flavor. Paired with their warm, homemade bread. We also got the Bianca pizza with shallots. The sweet caramelized shallots combined with the creamy base and crispy crust made it incredibly tasty and unique. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Casadoro nails that cozy yet elevated vibe, and the food quality keeps impressing me more each time. Highly recommend for date nights, happy hour hangs, or just a delicious Italian meal. We’ll definitely be back soon—can’t wait to try more from the menu!”

“Loved the pizza. Great sauce and toppings! Actually ate my crust which I never do! Prompt delivery! Will order again!”

“Great food and incredible portions! Our server Christina was outstanding! Highly recommend!!”

“Fresh sushi, great service and reasonably priced. Best sushi restaurant around.”

“Food is amazing, everything on the menu is delicious”

“Amazing tacos on taco Tuesday! Full plenty of meat for 3 tacos. The truffle Mac and Cheese is also delicious - highly recommend! Service was also amazing and quick.”

“Our visit to Ruth’s Chris was outstanding. The Australian Wagyu special was incredible! It was tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked and actually a great bargain for the price. My husband had the special of an 8 oz filet with two lobster tails: generous, decadent, and also an excellent price. The crab cake was packed with big lumps of crab. Each (hot) course came out beautifully presented on screaming hot plates.

Service was magnificent, with real attention to detail. You just don’t get this level of excellence anymore.. from ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal (and after - we received another helping of bread to go!) to cleaning the table before dessert. Even the to go containers are oven safe so leftovers reheat properly instead of sitting in flimsy paper boxes. Ruth’s Chris restaurant is still classy and holds a proper standard. We had a wonderful time creating memories eating extraordinary food. Highly recommend!!”

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. I had originally visited this restaurant when it used to be in New Haven, and I found that it had moved and I was glad that it was nearer to me. The seafood is what draws me to this restaurant, specifically the seafood boil because I really enjoy their sauce. The seafood appetizers are also great. And the staff is wonderful too. Highly recommended if you enjoy this type of food.”

“I’ve been to this restaurant more times than I can count, and I keep coming back for the exact same meal because it’s THAT good! On top of the great food, the service is always on point. Huge shoutout to my server, Steven, who is always friendly, laid-back, and makes the experience even better.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, laid-back place to enjoy a late lunch with great food and great service, look no further. Ask for Steven — you won’t be disappointed!”

“If you’re looking for Mexican food on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington, you have choices. If you want to sip margaritas out of a fish bowl and guacamole made table side then Puerto Vallarta and Azteca might be for you. If you want fast food from chain restaurants then there’s Chipotle and Moe’s. But if you’re looking for the best authentic Mexican fare the Berlin Turnpike has to offer, look no further the Salsa 4 Taqueria! It’s a hole in wall that you would drive by if you weren’t looking for it. I had beef empanadas, a trio of tacos, el pastor, pork belly, and deep fried shrimp. I’ve never been to Mexico but I imagine this is what I would get on the streets there. Be prepared to wait for your food. Empanadas are made to order and the corn taco shells are pressed and cooked to order with a choice of soft or crunchy! The el pastor was very flavorful, pork belly with a nice char on the outside melts in your mouth, the batter fried shrimp were large and delicious, shredded beef in the empanadas was braised to perfection! Sorry for the lack of pictures, I dug in before it crossed my mind. Yes, it’s that good!”

“Great energy tea selection, can't decide which is better: Captain America, Sweettart, or the Blue Devil.”

“The place is amazing!! Never had omelettes like that anywhere. Everything is excellent. And the service was great. You will NOT be disappointed. Great little spot.”

“Food, service, drinks... what's not to love? Everything was fantastic from start to finish. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the staff went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. Easily a 5-star experience, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”

“The Community Room Café is one of my favorite local spots. I often meet with my managers there because the atmosphere is welcoming, comfortable, and perfect for getting work done. The staff is always friendly, and the owners are genuinely amazing people who do so much for the Newington community. It’s such a great place to have right in the center of town—I can easily walk there from work or meet up with friends and coworkers. Highly recommend stopping by for great coffee and a great experience!”

“Food was delicious, the staff were incredibly friendly. They only serve chicken tenders , but they are big. The sandwich and fries is a good amount of food. For me, Medium was a good balance of heat and flavor. Will be back.”

“Very good authentic tasting Mexican food. Have always had good meals for the whole family.”

“This place has the best bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel that I have ever had. I'm not exactly sure what witchcraft they do to their eggs, but it is delicious. I generally come here just for that particular item. The service is always quick and kind.”

The Newington location Fenn rd. has me in a grinderhold 🥰 I don’t have any photos because I ate the whole thing nonstop 🥴”

“This is a great breakfast spot! I haven't been there for lunch yet, but I am certain that it is also a fine spot for that as well. I was particularly impressed with their response to accommodating a gluten allergy. The food was delicious and the staff persons all very hospitable. They appeared to have quite a few regular customers--lots of familiar and friendly conversations.”

“price for a orange juice $7.00 Food was very bad.”

“The kids love the ice cream. Employees are always attentive and the ice cream cakes are really good.”

“I had a great experience at The Bar & Grill in Newington. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt casual, comfortable, and welcoming. It had the kind of neighborhood spot feeling where you can relax, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered. I also liked that it felt like a fun place to meet up with friends, grab a meal, watch a game, or just enjoy a laid-back night out. The overall experience was easy, enjoyable, and exactly what I was hoping for.

I would definitely come back to The Bar & Grill and would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly local place with good food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere.”
