“This is my new favorite caffe! The sandwiches are incredible, they have a great coffee and tea selection, they have pastries, AND they have gelato! Everything is so good, and the ambiance is amazing. The staff are all incredibly kind and attentive, too. I love this place, 5 stars for sure.”

“Service was exceptional! Food was great and very large portions. You can be civil and share plates or be a big back and eat your own plate. Lol. Will definitely return.”

“We go here nearly every time we are in Norwalk. Love their arroz con pollo. All the food is actually amazingly delicious. My favorite drink is their sangria to the point they prep it for me when I walk in. Kind service. They feel like family.”

“We chose Spacecat for our wedding after-party (as our wedding was a destination event), and we couldn’t have made a better choice! We rented the entire venue for our private gathering of around 100 guests.

James was a pleasure to work with, and Michele was incredibly helpful throughout the process. She kept me calm, managed all my unique requests, and even assisted with setup and breakdown. On the day of the event, the entire staff was fun and professional, ensuring our guests had a great time.

They seamlessly accommodated Oishi rolling sushi for us, the New Haven Pizza Truck serving delicious pies, and the James Zap Band (3-piece) playing our favorite tunes.

Our party made fun use of the courtyard's cornhole, ring toss, and firepit. We even brought a s'mores station to add some treats.

The venue itself is both fun and beautiful. With a few personal touches to add a wedding flair, it became the perfect backdrop for such a special day.”

“I stopped in and had to try one cookie. I brought home the FlufferNutter and it was amazing! Peanut butter, marshmallow and chocolate chips. Yum!”

“We've been coming here for years and it's one of our absolute favorites. Last night the menu wasn't as exciting as usual and the food was good but not outstanding. The service is always amazing. ?”

“Excellent dining experience in Fairfield county that has already become a staple of SoNo. The quality is reflective of the passion that the owner / founder has poured into it. Unique cocktails, extensive wine list, and stellar food make Josie and Tony's a timeless New York Italian restaurant experience.”

“Great healthy food very friendly great atmosphere authentic Japanese food the Roman chicken was amazing ❤️❤️❤️ recommend it big time”

“We had a wonderful experience at the tap room the other night.. The drinks were unique and delicious as were our appetizers and meals. It’s been a while since I have been to a restaurant where I enjoyed myself as much as I did at the Taproot. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it.”

“First and foremost, I RARELY give any restaurant five stars. This restaurant earned their five stars; food, service, atmosphere all hit the mark! The food is absolutely delicious. I'm a seafood lover and I must say it's the BEST seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Everything I ate was very fresh and the kitchen definitely know what they're doing. Calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside. It comes with buffalo sauce, lemon aioli and bamu sauce which is a spicy thin Asian sauce. Clam chowder was creamy, had the usual bacon, clams and celery and garnished with a clam on the shell; great touch if you ask me. The spicy tuna tartare was my favorite thing I ate. It came with papadum chips that were light and crispy (better than potato chips!). The tuna tartare had the right amount of spice that didn't overpower your tastebuds but it let you know you were eating fresh, delicious tuna. The cucumbers added a very refreshing touch to the dish and I loved the wasabi aioli! The hot lobster roll was perfect. Coleslaw was delicious. The steamers are always messy to eat but worth it! I had a mini seafood feast and I was super satisfied leaving the restaurant. I usually finish a good meal with dessert but I had no room. There's always a next visit for that! I didn't try my son's cheeseburger because I strictly wanted seafood but it was cooked medium just how we asked and he said it was delicious. My son is a picky eater so if he says it's good, it's good. Ambiance is very nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you're a sun lover you'd love to be outdoors with the sun shining on you while you dine with a great view of the water and boats. Inside had nice nautical decor. They had a nice bar area with lots of drinks. Our server, MJ, was amazing. He was very attentive to all our needs. It was our first time eating here and we will return because of MJ and the amazing food. Our cups were always full and finished dishes cleared away. I appreciate servers like MJ because it elevates the dining experience. Great food can only get you so far but hard workers like MJ truly magnify a great experience. The restaurant was super packed. They have valet parking and I honestly thought we would wait forever but we didn't. We got in right away and our food promptly came out. MJ made sure we got the food in the order we wanted and we didn't feel rushed or ignored. Again, this is why I'm giving them five stars! If you love seafood, great service and a beautiful view, check them out.”

“Vegetarian options: I had my food catered by Ethnos Caribbean Cuisine for my son's graduation. 50% of my guests being vegetarian, it's always a challenge to find vegetarian options that are both tasty and varied. This place was incredible; they offered a large selection to choose from, and the food was absolutely delicious. The presentation was beautiful, and the aroma was incredibly inviting. I was thrilled to serve my guests such delectable dishes. Unlike many places where vegetarian food often just means salad, Ethnos Caribbean truly understands and excels in vegetarian cuisine.”

“My go-to spot in Norwalk. Friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices. Don’t miss the Shepherds Pie. ☘️☘️☘️☘️”

“excellent food and wine I could no ask for more”

“Pretty good donuts - bow tie and cake donut is delicious! Ask about their specials - never had a donut I didn't like from them. Drive thru

Parking: Drive thru”

“Easy_on_easy_off from exit 16 of i_95 (Connecticut turnpike), drive thru available but no outdoor seating. Plenty of parking on the side and in the rear of the building. There is a dairy queen counter inside this location. The inside space is cozy, comfy and good for groups or for dining alone. Male and female restrooms available inside.”

“So friendly here! And they do their best to complete everyone’s orders in a timely manner. My iced vanilla latte was made really well ????

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free”

“Nice,Clean and fast Service.”

“Cindy working here has been amazing. She cares about making sure the right thing is given. And even gave me an extra cream cheese to give to my dog to take medication. Thank you, and happy to support people like this.”

“Dunkin's incorporation of an ice cream store offers a diverse menu and maintains high-quality products, providing an enjoyable experience with a variety of coffee and ice cream choices. The service is efficient, and the location is convenient. However, the merger has led to cramped space, particularly noticeable on a rainy day visit when the indoor entrance was wet and unmonitored, posing a slip hazard. Although the issue was reported to a staff member, the slow response to this safety concern could be risky, highlighting a need for better safety measures to enhance the overall customer experience at this dual-function location.”

“After my sound healing session, my body asked for McDonald's ?. I haven't eaten from McDonald's for years. Honestly, it was sooooo delicious, and I enjoyed my meal at the outdoor area.”

“This location has some of the best tasting donuts. I especially like the jelly filled donut holes. They are extremely fresh and taste great. The people there are so friendly. This is my go to donut place.”

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had Calamari, Veal Romano and Chicken Parm. All three dishes were some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The service was excellent. There was not one negative thing at our visit.”

“Best ramen I’ve ever had, owner was very welcoming and kind and it is a very calm atmosphere with lots of cute decor. So much variety in the menu and I’m excited to go back to try more new items :)”

“The food is genuine and delicious and the dining area is lovely. Lots of great duck dishes, too! Will definitely go back!”

“Best pizza in the area!!!”

“great restaurant, delicious food and nice music with dj chivo every sunday”

“Best ice cream in the US”

“I’ve had a lot of pizza in my time from all over the country. The best pizza is always made the same way - fresh ingredients, a tried recipe, and made by someone who is an expert in their craft.

Letizia’s has all of this. Not only is the pizza amazing, the team clearly takes pride in their food, and for good reason.

If you like pizza at all, you have to check this place out!”

“Wonderful cuisine by Chef Ben Freemole ! The place is delightful, the perfect escape after a busy day in the city. Will be back!!”

“I have been going to jimmy John’s for almost 20 years, I was so excited to see a location in Norwalk. I was even more pleasantly surprised when this became my favorite location yet, even after previously living down the street from jimmy john! The whole team is great, but Tom ALWAYS goes out of his way to make sure my order is perfect and has made it feel like my local sandwich shop- thank you jimmy John’s and Tom!”

“Absolutely incredible! The TacoDilla Birria is phenomenal, and the shrimp and chicken tacos are awesome too. Ate too quickly before I could get a photo of anything. Super fresh ingredients and very kind host/chef. So glad I stopped by, will be back!”

“Wonderful cuisine by Chef Ben Freemole ! The place is delightful, the perfect escape after a busy day in the city. Will be back!!”

“The best local ice cream store I’ve been too. Great ice cream, clean environment, and perfect costumer service. The nicest employees I’ve met. If you want good ice cream and an amazing experience I recommend coming here :)”

“La atención es increíble muy buena”

“It’s fast food, meets expectations. Service is fast and there is always a seat, free refills, fries are amazing as always and the burgers have that burger king special taste to them that’ll never get old. Bathrooms are kept squeaky clean which is always a plus, and the drive through is clear and nice, no rushing or going on and on about “this or that” offer. The place definitely used to have more personality in decor, unfortunately now it’s just like every other modernized spot. But we’re here for the food, not decorations. ESPECIALLY with a coupon, you can’t go wrong.”

“I loved the Impossible Whopper! it's great to be able to have a cowless burger, the lady at the counter was very nice as well.

Vegetarian options: Great Impossible burger”

“Popeye offers the best spicy chicken burger in town, all for less than $5! This deliciously fiery burger packs a punch at an affordable price, making it a go-to option for budget-friendly meals. Plus, with the option to download the app, you can earn rewards and gain access to their happy hour specials every Tuesday and Thursday from 5-9pm.”

“Fries were not hot & crispy and I didn't have time to return for the "replacement, no questions asked" guarantee. Workers are friendly, fast, and efficient.”

“Great experience!”

“It has the self serve kiosk, so you basically do your own ordering.It's McDonald's, good for a quick bite once in a while ?

Parking: They redid the parking lot to incorporate 2 take out instead of just one.By doing that, they took away about 15-20 parking spots.Haven't gone there when they're busy, so I'm assuming there will still be plenty of parking”

“Parking: Thurs. August 27th, 2024 @ 5:50pm

The Drive Thru face to face worker was courteous, polite, and friendly.
The Drive Thru presenter was also kind and smiled as well.
My overall experience today at this location was excellent. The banana pudding shakes aren't bad... The vanilla flavored shake is still at the top for me!!”

“I walked into KFC on Richards Ave in Norwalk, CT and found Nerlyny and Alejandro. They attended to my order, and worked as a fantastic team. By the time Nerlyny was handing me my change, Alejandro already had my order in the bag and handed it to me. Incredible service, and both with warm smiles. On this dreary rainy day, it was nice to come in for a quick take out with exceptional service. I am sure the manager is very proud of the these two!! Oh! and the chicken was delicious!!”

“Service is fast & friendly most of the time. The only thing I don't like about this location is that they don't participate in some of the promotions.”

“Amazing place that really takes care of their customers!”

“Massimo's Italian Corner is a wonderful eatery located in Westport Avenue in Norwalk, right next to Staples. Massimo's offers a wide variety of Italian specialties including frittatas, gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, salads, dinners and an espresso bar. I've sampled nearly everything on the menu and it was all amazing! On top of that the friendly staff will make you feel like a member of the family right from your first visit.

Massimo's is available for dine-in, take-out, and delivery through the usual apps. They are open 7 days a week until 9pm so there is no excuse not to check this place out. You won't regret it!”

“With so many Shah’s Halal spots popping up around CT, we decided it was time to go and see what they were all about! We visited their Norwalk location for a fast-casual dinner. We enjoyed their chicken and lamb combo platter over rice with all of the fixings, including all of their signature sauces, as well as the kofta gyro. Even their Philly cheesesteak and hot wings were delicious! I would definitely come back and it’s great to know a quality halal spot I can recommend. All of the ingredients were noticeably fresh, and the staff worked quickly to prepare all of the orders coming their way!”

“Best pizza out here in Norwalk! Definitely recommend! Had a custom cheese crust pepperoni pizza made for my nephew and I. And the crust is soft and crispy, absolutely delicious.”

“Great selection of breakfast options. Highly recommend the avocado toast. Also they make amazing espresso and great coffee

Parking: Somewhat limited parking but still pretty easy”

“Excellent chicken, tasty slaw and a sauce that makes it all sing.”

“I’m not sure why I waited so long to write a review but honestly, these are my favorite tacos EVER!!!! I’ve had plenty of tacos, from trucks restaurants but THESE tacos are so light, never skimpy on meat or the shrimp, they always hit the spot, the shrimps never taste like seafood, ALWAYS DELICIOUS always done on time even if they are busy and the people and service is always nice friendly and simple. MY FAVORITE TACO TRUCK HANDS DOWNNNNNNN!!! Love ya God bless your business ??”

“been going to this food truck for years now! My go to taco spot in all of the east coast lol!! every time I’m at a different spot I say “el aztecas tacos are juicier” . Truly the best tacos and cemitas around !”

“It was a pleasure dining here recently. A coworker of mine introduced me to this pub in the heart of South Norwalk. The atmosphere is laid back and not rowdy like your typical sports bar. It's a really nice lunch spot. I enjoyed my chicken caesar wrap. Looking forward to dining here again soon!”

“Great sandwiches and friendly staff. Best in town.”

“We stopped in for lunch on our way to the Aquarium. The food was amazing, burgers cooked right, flavorful, and tons of options to choose from for toppings. We got the parmesan truffle fries and they were on point! The kid's menu had a great selection and the atmosphere was cozy. Our waitress (who had owner vibes) was friendly and attentive. We will be back! Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Had a kid's menu with a good selection to choose from”

“Cute little pizza restaurant. Staff are so nice. Plus the pizza is AMAZING. One of the best pizzas I have. Do note that they accept cash only. But I 100% recommend you stop by for a slice. We had the chicken parm and cheese slice. So delicious!”
