“Good beer great atmosphere”

“Best straight-up coffee for sure.
Corn muffin is not too bad, either.
If you like fluffier coffee hot or iced, I am told they make a great pumpkin spiced.”

“We frequent this spot during the summer months and the ice cream is good. Was disappointed last evening though as staff seemed in a hurry and a bit rude. One thing that should be address is the massive spider and bugs above where you stand to wait for your order . A good power wash would be good!! Love the ice cream though”

“Had lunch with a friend on Thursday 4/18/2024. 2 brothers reminded me of Cheers where everyone knows your name❣️ but since it was our first time not so much . The service was great,the pizza we tried was delicious and the beer which our waitress gave me a shot of to try was also tasty. Will be going back for sure.”

“great food, great staff! Only pizza we ever get!”

“I had a very long, very exhausting work day this past Saturday and didn't feel like making my own dinner so I wanted to stop somewhere for something that was cheap and delicious. I don't know if you've seen the price of fast food lately but that wasn't an option, so I called ahead and placed an order with Sweet Rice. The fried pork dumplings were the best I've ever had and I'll definitely be eating here again.”

“This location is usually short staffed so expect a long, long wait. The employees are very courteous and the reason I am a repeat customer. Despite being short staffed, they do a great job at fulfilling orders and are courteous. One time, a very pleasant girl, was all alone running in store and drive up staying steadily busy and it was her second day.”

“Hi everyone! 🍕 I recently had a delightful experience at a local brick oven pizza place named PRIVATEERS and just had to share it with you all! The chicken capris is absolutely delicious, and the staff there, especially our server, was incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s wonderful to support our local businesses, and this place truly deserves a shoutout for their amazing food and service. Highly recommend giving them a try if you haven’t yet! 🌟”

“We had a two delicious meals. The duck was crisp and not fatty. I had the special with roasted potatoes and spiraled veggies with a delicious sauce. My husband thought his paella was very good. This new restaurant’s staff and owners try very hard to please their customers. We will definitely be back!”

“Very clean and great food!”

“I couldn't wait to eat the salad before I took the picture. Their salad dressing is addictive. The cauliflower usually comes with buffalo, but I prefer their tahini. The chicken schwarma platter is so big that we end up sharing it. They also have plenty of vegan options that are spectacular. They make the best falafel that I have ever tasted!”

“Wildly awesome experience! Crazy good ice cream!

Reasonably priced! Especially compared to some other spots locally!

Lots of area for the kiddos to play, lots of crazy good flavors!

Hard pack and soft serve!

Will obviously return!”

“Panini was fresh, huge and soo good. can't wait to go back for another!”

“MOST DELICIOUS DONUTS for the literal best prices I’ve ever seen. The staff is lovely, the shop has a pleasant vibe, and my kids are always thrilled to have Flander’s donuts! It’s cash only (which I forget a lot, that’s why I’m mentioning it) but they have an ATM machine in the shop. So recommended!”

“07.26.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.143 Sapore Pizzeria Town of Old Lyme, CT This morning, I dropped a post asking if any restaurants wanted to invite Big Al’s Reel Reviews to their spot—and guess who hit me up? Sapore Pizzeria in Old Lyme. So I pulled up—and let me tell you right now… this one felt special the minute I walked through that door. The welcome? Warm. The vibe? Bustling. The atmosphere? Absolutely amazing—families dining, good conversation, and a team that made me feel like I’d been coming there for years. My server, Sarah, was top notch—attentive, kind, and on point from the jump. The owners were there as well, and you could feel the pride in the place. Turns out, the owner is originally from Naples, Italy and used to work for Illiano’s before opening this place six years ago. That Naples-to-Old-Lyme pizza lineage is real. And then something beautiful happened… A true B.A.R.R.fan—Troy Gaston—saw I was at Sapore and drove over just to show love. So I invited him to sit down and have dinner with me. That’s what this is all about: community, connection, and real support from real people. Troy’s a solid dude and a subscriber, and I appreciated him being part of this experience. Here’s what I ordered: 1. Meatballs in Vodka Sauce – $11 Served with toasted ciabatta. These were tender and flavorful, and the vodka sauce was creamy and smooth. A perfect starter. 💣 2. New York-Style Cheese Pizza (17”) – $20.50 This right here was the star of the show. Thin, crispy, cheesy, and cooked just right. I gave this a DOUBLE 💣💣 — one of the best I’ve had on the shoreline. 3. Chicken Parmigiana Bolognese – $24 Served over penne pasta with rich, meaty bolognese. This was another 💣. Classic flavor, hearty sauce, and that perfect comfort-food bite. And then… out came a complimentary tiramisu—a gift from the kitchen. That kind of gesture speaks volumes. The tiramisu was absolutely delicious, a smooth and sweet way to end an already dope meal. The food was fire. The service was flawless. The atmosphere was family-friendly and full of good energy. And the fact that they reached out and invited me in? That means something. Especially after what happened yesterday. Sapore didn’t just pass the test— They’re officially a Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot. It’s worth checking out—and if you go, make sure you tell ‘em, Big Al sent you! ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out””

“We hosted a wine tour here last weekend and Ryan did a wonderful job. He preset up our area and had our tables looking beautiful. It was above and beyond. I highly recommend using them and I will definitely again in the future.”

“Bill wanted a cake for his 85 birthday from your bakery on August 8th. he'll have to wait until the 14th. Enjoy your vacation, tee hee”

“Awesome family friendly, dog friendly brewery. Great food trucks but food is also allowed (when they are not having a big event). Great beer, special mixed drink menu, wine, cider, non alcoholic choices, and 2 slushy choices ( with or with out alcoholic)! We love it there!”

“Not only is the food fantastic but they’re so hospitable friendly but they don’t invade when you’re eating just kind hearted people their love shows in their food please visit I try something different every time”
