Let me tell you about this place!!! I am Georgian but married to American , my family loves my food but when we had the Georgian traditional salad my husband looked at me like he was eating something heavenly!!!
The Megrelian stile Cheese bread is the best thing you ever eat !!
Sooo good!!
The Khinkali the soup dumplings so delicious, just make sure you drink all the juice it’s best part!!
We had such a great experience and will be back very soon.
The service was excellent!!! Highly recommended, 10 out of 10!!

Wow!!! I am visiting Norwalk and stumbled upon this gem of a place as it was the only one open on a rainy Thanksgiving. I was unfamiliar with the food and the staff helped me make the perfect choices. My wife and I loved everything and our waiter told us the story behind the cheese boat. I loved having a true cultural experience. I was especially impressed by how everyone was working with a smile on their face and caught one of the cooks dancing. Thank you, we will be back

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this Georgian restaurant in South Norwalk is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step inside, the customer service is nothing short of exceptional—the best I have ever encountered. The staff’s attentiveness and warmth truly elevate the entire experience, making you feel not just welcomed but genuinely cared for.
The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish was crafted with precision and passion, bursting with authentic flavors that reflect the rich culinary heritage of the country of Georgia. It was my first time learning that Georgia is the oldest wine-making country in the world, and their wine is proof of that legacy. The full-bodied Georgian wine I tried was among the best I’ve had in years—smooth, bold, and perfectly paired with the meal.
I can’t recommend this place enough. Whether you’re a foodie, a wine enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates top-tier service and quality, this restaurant is a gem. Do yourself a favor and go—your taste buds will thank you!

Blown away by this place. Great, different food that you won't regret trying, and I'd say the best cocktails I've had in Norwalk.
Cheese and Bread brings a refreshing and authentic Georgian culinary experience to Norwalk, a city predominantly filled with Japanese, Latin, Irish/American, and Seafood eateries. As someone from Ukraine, I was thrilled to find a place that offers a taste of the Caucasus region, and I decided to introduce my American friends to this new gem in SoNo.
The food was undeniably delicious. We started with the homemade sausage kupati, expecting three of the same kind. Instead, we received three different sausages, which was a bit confusing and not what we anticipated. The Georgian vegetable salad with walnut sauce was a standout. The walnut sauce was absolutely amazing and complemented the fresh vegetables perfectly. The Khachapuri Imeruli was another standout dish and was incredibly savory and delicious.
However, there are areas where Cheese and Bread could enhance the dining experience, especially for patrons not familiar with Georgian cuisine. The menu, presented on a digital tablet, is divided into categories like soft drinks, cocktails, desserts, specials by the chef, salads, appetizers, pastry, main courses, and soups. This nesting can be confusing for newcomers, making it hard to navigate and understand the proper sequencing of dishes. For instance, items like Khachapuri Acharuli and Khachapuri Puff Dough are under "Pastry," which might not align with the typical American interpretation of the term.
Additionally, the bar could benefit from a more comprehensive selection of standard mixers. When a friend ordered a scotch and soda, we were surprised to learn they didn't have soda available. The cocktail list leans heavily towards sweet drinks, which seemed a bit mismatched with the hearty and savory food offerings.
The servers were friendly but could be more proactive in guiding guests through the menu, offering suggestions, and explaining how dishes can be paired for the best experience. A brief introduction to Georgian dining customs or highlighted recommendations could go a long way in making guests feel more comfortable.
Overall, Cheese and Bread is a fantastic spot to enjoy authentic Georgian food in Norwalk. With a few tweaks to the menu presentation and a bit more assistance from the staff, it could become a favorite for both locals from the Caucasus region and anyone eager to explore new flavors.
