“What a little gem hidden in a quaint area of CT. Purchased a Groupon and wasn't sure what to expect but were we surprised. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, we were approached immediately to be seated. Dining room had a warm feel with table linens and napkins. Server, Ashley provided excellent service and was very knowledgable with specials and questions we asked. The salad to start was perfect with enough dressing but not overdone, enough Gorgonzola for flavor not excessive and the display of vegetables was impressive. The pasta dishes were exceptional with their home made freshness and the sauce was delicious with much flavor. The menu has many options for your liking and descriptive to make ordering easier. The dessert menu had many options all which looked delicious as we noticed most tables were indulging, so we did too with the gelato. We will return with friends and family. Please try this place, you will not be disappointed and I dine at many restaurants.“

“The only issue with this restaurant is the availability of parking. Yep, I had to walk 1/2 a mile. But that is a small price for this outstanding dining experience. From creative cocktails to wonderful warm house made bread and an entree menu that is ever evolving. Don't miss dessert because you are in for a real treat. This may be Connecticut's best restaurant. Enjoy walking the village of Chester. It is a classic New England storybook village.“

“After 48 years of making pizzas and all foods they have not skipped at beat always consistently great taste and plenty more years to go. It's a charming place with a nice patio friendly wait staff who are attentive and hard working. We never had a sour experience making this place a regular spot for a relaxing meal with plenty of choices
Along with pizzas their fish'nchips are one of my favorites with enough for another snack at home. The restaurant is clean the atmosphere is family orientated as the lady owner greets everyone as her family of friends with kind words of welcome back.It's a treat to look forward to the next visit.“
