We went with the golden cake and cream cheese filling and it was amazing, our guests absolutely loved it! Thank you Carly & all of J Cakes for our delicious, and beautiful, wedding cake!“

“We recently attended a New Haven high school reunion at Lost In New Haven Museum. The Olde World Pizza Truck was hired to serve 70 people. The food and service was excellent. Everybody in attendance commented how good the experience was. The staff was friendly and professional, serving different pies on a timely basis. The salad and Gelato was a nice added touch. There was plenty of extra pizza for the people to take home. All trash was cleared, no extra work. I highly recommend this company.“

“1st visit. Ordered take out & grabbed a coffee during the brief wait. Service was efficient & friendly. Establishment was clean & welcoming. I deeply appreciate that they offer tofu. We ordered the “Vito” swapping chicken out for tofu & the “Cypress Garden” sandwiches… both were delicious. The prices were reasonable for the high quality of the ingredients. One was $10 the other $12 & this price even included choice of side: pasta salad, apple or chips. We chose the lemon basil pasta salad & it was just as delicious as the sandwich’s. Thank you…you’ve won this customer over for sure!“

“This was my first time at Wentworth’s, and I’m so glad a friend recommended it—especially because they offer dog-friendly ice cream! It was my pup’s 8th birthday, and I couldn’t find a place that felt special enough until I heard about Wentworth’s. The team at the counter was amazing—so friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited when they heard it was her big day. My dog devoured her birthday treat (tail wags of approval!), and my mom and I were equally impressed. She had the chocolate chip raspberry and I had the peanut butter Oreo—both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, creamy, and just hit the spot. We left with full hearts and full stomachs. We’ll definitely be back very soon. Thanks, Wentworth’s, for making our celebration so sweet!“

“Amazing fresh juices! Love the variety of flavors.“

“my wife and I were looking at places to go, There was Doma, Pasta Cosi, LaMonacos,Goodfellas, Cava, so many other places , But we optioned for Rossittos, and asking Branford locals they gave some mixed reviews, I made reservations for valentines day, We were looking forward to it, And then we Arrive, Its like a Noisy Bar as soon as u walk in , We were seated in the Back along a long wobbly bench seat Next to a filthy wall with an oil pipe coming out, We ordered, The wait staff was extremely slow, I get it , It was busier than they probably ever are considering the occasion, No excuse, we ordered cacio e pepe, And a Lasagna Simple, Casio Pepe which is supposed to be done with Romano Cheese and Black Peppercorns , And pasta Water to form the Gravy.....over Bucatini which is a hollow pasta Well what I got was Brown Butter and someone's leftovers in a Bowl The portion was literally 3/4 eaten when I got it, I immediately asked waitress what the hell is this, she ignored me and walked away, The waitress comes by after almost 30 minutes of it sitting on my table and uneaten, and asks how was everything and is something wrong, I explained that situation, and this is not what I ordered, Couldnt be, We sat next to a couple who ordered Pasta and the Portion was Very Large and looked delicious, Then mine shows up which is literally 2 fork full of pasta in a bowl with This gross looking Brown Buttery sauce and Green parsley I have Many Photos, the waitress asked what I wanted her to do and I was mortified and quipped Bring me what I ordered for 26 dollars , she said We just want to make ya happy sarcastically , I said there is Nothing you can do to make me happy, But bring us the check she did 45minutes later and it was 89 dollars For a lasagna and Cacio e pepe, one soda and a martini, I added it came out to 61 dollars so where is the additional 28 dollars, we paid , Said nothing No Tip and left, Never will I ever Return I guess they charge extra for someone else's Leftovers the kid forgot to wrap!....“

“Super cute restaurant. Creative smart menu. Staff was smart and kind. The cookie I got (brown butter chocolate chip) was warmed before they served it. Too many good things on the menu. Need to head back there soon!“

“went here for the first time yesterday based off of a recommendation. food was excellent, staff was friendly, the place was immaculate. highly recommend“

“My husband and I dine there today. We both enjoyed our wraps (Caesar Wrap and Mexican Wrap) . The wraps were flavorful and filling.“

“First time there. Wanted to try a different place than our usual couple of places. Very interesting menu with a huge variety, we had to bring home 3 different pies to try, and they were great! Can’t wait to go back and try more. 🍕❤️“

“Great vibe there. Waitresses and Bartenders are amazing!“

“First visit. My seafood noodle bowl was outstanding. The curry broth was great. My husband had a beef and veggie taco bowl. Will be back to try more things“

“Absolutely the best sandwiches around! Delicious fresh rolls, fresh ingredients, amazing selection of vegetarian sandwiches which is greatly appreciated!! Our only place for sandwiches, and the chili and macaroni and cheese are great too!“

“Alyssa’s Cakery absolutely knocked it out of the park! They created the most incredible gluten and dairy-free wedding cake for us, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. The flavor was unreal - rich, moist, and absolutely delicious. You would never know it was allergen-friendly. Every guest who tried it was blown away. The presentation was perfection. The cake was beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding day… elegant, beautifully detailed, and crafted with so much care. It looked like something out of a magazine. From start to finish, Alyssa’s Cakery delivered quality, artistry, and heart. We couldn’t be more grateful and will be recommending them to everyone we know!“

“My son and I went today for lunch. I have been wanting a pistachio martini since I saw it made from the happy bartender with the huge smile. I didn’t get her name but see her on the Christos fb videos. Did not disappoint was delicious. She is a great bartender and a wonderful waitress l. We sat in the bar area and it was enjoyable as it wasn’t loud and the table gave us plenty of room for our meal. Brussels Sprouts were delicious as always I had a Cajun wrap and my son had a huge salad loaded with chicken and avocado 🥑 I remember Christos when it was in the plaza and the food never disappoints. I also enjoy the daily family specials text to me. If you haven’t signed up to get the daily specials text to you do it. So many great meals to pick up and bring home. There’s two different specials. Every day lunch and dinner. Give Christos a try if you haven’t been you won’t be disappointed. I live in West Haven but my son is lucky enough to live in North Haven and pick up from Christos on his way home from Westport.“

“I first saw Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies at a craft show at the High Plains Community Center. I tried a sampler of six (out of the eight available) flavors: • Traditional chocolate chip • Salted caramel • S'mores • Cannoli • Blueberry lemon • Orange creamsicle The other flavors were oatmeal raisin walnut and peanut butter chocolate chip. The six flavors I had were absolutely amazing. The cookies were light and flavorful, absolutely delicious. They make gift baskets too, so you can share the goodness. Highly recommended.“

“vegan vegan vegan awesome baby with a capital A would love to join the team and be around healthy people“

“I unknowingly drove by this place for years until my Fiance said it was a must.

Breakfast Burrito was phenomenal. And my Fiance got the blueberry pancakes. Cooked perfectly and somehow didn’t need butter.

It feels like you’re eating at your cool aunts house in her 3 seasons room. Also have outdoor seating.

I’ll be back for lunch sooner than I care to admit.“

“Cupcakes are very good. Not too much topping and cake is moist. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!“

“The best place to eat in Branford for families! Their side entrance is super stroller-friendly and the Mac and cheese made my toddler (literally) dance! I can’t recommend Home enough!!“

“Awesome foods, staffs very friendly and accomodating.“

“Excellent menu, food, staff and ambience!“

“What a great place. Each time I come I see the same friendly and knowledgeable staff, the food is creative and consistently delicious, with something for everybody, but my favorite is the Salt Marsh Farm pork chop with cranberry apple compote-best ever! New limited cocktails are a great addition to the top restaurant in Guilford.“

“I think it’s mentioned that they have the best ice cream in the state, which is definitely the case! The winner for me and my wife is the pumpkin ice cream, only available in the fall. It’s a winner every time, but all their other flavors taste great!“

“Food was delicious & staff was friendly, prompt. They went above and beyond.“

“Excellent food. High quality breakfast.“

“First time ordering, two different meals plus desserts. Wonderful flavors. Love the option to pick how spicy we wanted. Dessert was light and great. Best of all the Naan.. we ordered two different Naan and Paneer Naan was the winner in my home.“

“Had state street for the first time today after a hockey game. It was super busy but they quickly got us seated nonetheless. The food was SO GOOD. Well worth the price! The siracha maple syrup is FANTASTIC.“

“On Saturday, June 11th after my Mom’s Memorial service I brought 35 people to lunch. The waitstaff was well organized, very attentive, not to mention the food was OUTSTANDING!! Everyone ordered off the menu, drinks were served along with appetizers and dessert. We all ate at the same time which is hard to do with that many people. I would highly recommend Cafe Fiore in Branford, CT to anyone who is looking to have an event or just a nice lunch or dinner. They staff worked so well together that I gave them a 30% gratuity. WELL DONE CAFE FIORE!“

“Food was great but Mike the manger topped off my experience! It was late & they were about to close so you would think everyone wouldn’t be in a great mood but it was the opposite! He was so personable came around & talked .. he made my night & I will definitely be back because he was so so nice! We need more people like Mike!!“

“Get the Caldo de Mariscos if you want a huge portion of seafood - comes with tortillas, lime wedges, and diced onions and fresh cilantro, filled with mussels, crab and shrimp! Straight from heaven! Everything was delicious and the waitress was so friendly and answered all our questions. They were playing music from the bar area which added to the festive atmosphere, and we loved the decor inside. Will definitely return!“

“I recommend everything! My first time there and my experience was out of this world! Incredible food amazing atmosphere and very friendly service. I wasn’t sure what I wanted so they recommended something based on what I told them I liked and they were correct about it! I highly recommend this might be the only sushi place I will go to from now on!! Thank you for such a great experience!“

“Something for everyone here. Standard diner fare but with plant-based and GF options. The food was very good and clearly homemade. The vegan Reuben was excellent and I'll struggle to not just have that for future visits

The staff were all very friendly. Sydney was our sever and she had the perfect amount of presence. She took good care of us and we even had a nice talk about our dogs so the personal touch was there, too.

It's easy on and off I-95. If you're traveling through CT and need something to eat, I can't recommend Shoreline Diner enough!“

“Best Italian restaurant in the area I come all the way from Florida to go there Make sure you ask for Francesca for a waitress the best Thank you Francesca for a great experience“

“Food was great Drinks were great !“

“We used Eli's On Whitney to celebrate my dad’s passing instead of doing a traditional funeral, and this was 100% the right choice.

We rented the downstairs space, which comfortably held around 50–80 people and gave us room to make it feel personal... memory tables, photos, all of it. They were very easy to work with from the beginning and let us have a lot of control over how everything looked and felt, which mattered a lot for something like this.

We went over all the food options ahead of time and everything was clearly laid out and communicated (timing, setup, etc.), which made the day itself run smoothly without us having to think about it. The buffet worked well for a gathering like this and everything came out on time.

There is an option for a bar downstairs, but we kept it upstairs..which worked out... It gave people a chance to step away, take a breath, and come back when they were ready.
Only thing to note is the downstairs space isn’t wheelchair accessible, so just something to keep in mind depending on your group.

They made something that could have been overwhelming feel really manageable. It didn’t feel like a “package” event..it felt like we were able to do it our way, and that meant a lot.

Would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for a space that’s flexible, organized, and easy to work with..especially for more personal gatherings like this.“
