“We tried their pizza for the first time. Ordered a margarita pizza. It was delicious and unbelievably fresh and the dough was incredible. We’ve tried most pizza places in our area. This was definitely the best“

“Good place to celebrate 🎉“

“Mike was Nino’s father. Nino is the authentic force behind this ristorante. It is a wonderfully authentic white-tablecloth affair. The food is fantastic and Nino always has the best in great Italian red wines. Just there at the table waiting for you. From anywhere in Fairfield county, it is well worth the trip.“

“My fiancé and I had an incredible experience at Siena for dinner. We were celebrating our anniversary and our server, Corey, made sure to pull out all the stops to make it a special night. We thoroughly enjoyed the environment which was upscale and fun. The food and drinks were outstanding! We were blown away by the attentiveness of all the staff and the flavors of our dishes. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“I had a very nice meal tonight at Valentino's. I normally spend my monthly overnight for work in Stamford but decided to give Norwalk a try. Other then the price the meal was spectacular! Started off with some clams casino and the moved on to some veal saltambucca. Both were delicious but I couldn't afford do go here on a regular basis.“

“The best in Norwalk for sure, great ambience, food & service is A+“

“OMG! Where to start. It was a Monday evening & we walked in & it was busy. They had 3 parties going on. They asked if we had reservations. I told them no, we were from out of town. They still seated us. I'm so glad they did. The food was phenomenal & fresh. I love gnocchi & I finally got homemade gnocchi. The owners & workers are so nice. They even did something special for us 😉 since it was crowded. I highly recommend this place for fresh real Italian cuisine.“

“Great pizza spot in Norwalk“

“Always an amazing experience very friendly staff ❤️“

“As usual amazing pizza and garlic knots and friendly service. We'll definitely be back. #1 🍕.“

“The CBR pizza is out of this world. The first time I went in there my boyfriend & I bought a few different slices to try & they were all good but the CBR was def our fave. The slices are a generous size & price too. I like really thin & thick crust pizza. Classica is a happy medium between the two - prob more on the thin side & has the perfect amount of crunch (it doesn’t crack & fall apart when you take a bite like some thin crust pizzas do). We LOVE Classica Pizza!! 🍕❤️“

“The food was excellent.“

“myself and my family been coming forever and never get disappointed“

“My husband, son and I truly enjoyed our dinner at Penza tonight! My husband and son had pasta dishes, and both were delicious- the ingredients were fresh, and the food came out piping hot!
I had a roasted cauliflower wedge with pesto sauce and mixed veggies- and it was so yummy!! The veggies were all fresh too.
Yummy hot bread and butter - was served as well.
All in all- I highly recommend Ponza!“

“Came in for snack while shopping and visiting historic SoNo. First time ever coming in for a slice of pizza. My daughter and I each enjoyed a slice and shared an ice cold Jarritos Piña soda. The man who greeted us was courteous, and our slices came out hot and fast… will definitely be back to check out some of their other menu items.“

“Jordan’s salad pizza is absolutely unbeatable! The crust is perfectly crisp, the toppings are always fresh, and their signature homemade dressing takes it to another level — it’s one of a kind and truly addictive. Every bite has the perfect balance of flavors.“

“Friendly staff and good food…not just the pizza. 😉 Their deserts are top notch.“
