Thank you Red Lotus from an amazing experience and phenomenal customer service.”

“Randomly stumbled upon Gaetanos in Westport yesterday when looking for a place to get sandwiches before my son’s baseball game. Having grown up in Belmont Little Italy for the first 22 years of my life I was skeptical about the “Arthur Ave style..” claim on the sign. Well I can tell you they delivered and then some! Was warmly greeted, handled samples of delicious cheeses and more. They were too skeptical when I said I grew up on Arthur Ave but once we started chatting they knew I wasn’t BSing. Saw familiar faces and reminisced about life on Arthur Ave. The owners are warm and kind - the real deal keeping it true to the Arthur Ave spirit. Dare I say they might even do it better!! I can’t say enough about the excellent food and service. If I ever find myself in Westport again I will certainly make a visit! Aside from my son’s team’s win, this nostalgic experience truly made my day and made me feel like I was back home in the Bronx when life was more simple. And yes, everything we ordered and sampled was delicious! No skin on the eggplant and bread from Addeo - doesn’t get any better!”

“We tried Riverdale Diner because we happened to be in the area and wanted a sit down breakfast. Even on a busy Saturday morning we were seated right away and our meal came out not long after. Delicious food and great service! (Try the California omelet, and get the potatoes!)”

“Bottom line.. favorite place to go..”

“My husband and I were looking forward to a cappuccino and dessert. There were no empty tables but two were occupied by single people doing work on their iPads. There should be some time limit especially when you are very busy. We left but will return again if we can secure a table.”

“Yesterday was my first time. The coffee was delicious and the muffins are BIG and fresh. I'll be back soon!”

“We had the most wonderful experience at Caloroso Eatery & Bar. Unbeknownst to me, my family planned a surprise birthday party and had it at Caloroso’s in early December. Because the weather was still good, the party took place in the Sky Terrace…the space was very inviting and large enough to accommodate the 33 of us! Ashley and others of the Caloroso team made sure that no one went thirsty or hungry! The buffet of chicken parm, chicken marsala, pasta, salad, and more was totally delicious and plentiful! The large screen in the room made it possible for all to see the birthday trivia game through which I relived lots of happy memories and milestones! I had no idea what was waiting for me when I walked up the stairs and went through the doors into the Sky Terrace…and I’ll never forget the SURPRISE experience! Thank you, family, and thank you Caloroso team for helping to make the day a cherished lifelong memory!!”

“We ordered cupcakes last minute. They were able to accommodate us and they looked amazing and tasted amazing. We had a variety of flavors, vanilla, chocolate, funfetti, cookies and cream, lemon, and banana. Every flavor was amazing. Our guests were obsessed. My kids also loved the cake pops, and I loved the macaroons. So good!! They did not disappoint! We’ll be back ❤️”

“Oh my gosh!! What a delicious meal we just had!! We found several gift cards in a drawer and visited Outback Steakhouse in Shelton. The outdoor seating area was perfect! The server, James, was very attentive and helpful. The food was delivered in a timely fashion and was wonderful! My scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection and the Cajun seasoning was spot on. Keith's steak was cooked just as he requested. The portions were terrific! My cheesecake was smooth and yummy and Keith's chocolate dessert was a real treat. I wish I knew who gave us the gift card as I'd love to thank them!! I hope you'll consider patronizing Outback Steakhouse in Shelton!! We'll definitely be back!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼”

“Food was excellent. My friend ordered the sea bass and loved it. I ordered one of the salad/rice bowls and it was delicious. Suzanne was the best waitress ever!

Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Amazing local business , support your neighborhood..”

“Our company has been using Cafe 4 catering for years, each month for lunch. Everything we have ever ordered is always fresh & delicious. Our all time favorite is the Malin salad with grilled chicken. The balsamic vinaigrette is to die for. Also they have the best chicken salad wraps & turkey club wrap with chipotle mayo. All their sandwiches are great! Do yourself a favor & stop in for lunch, you will not be disappointed!”

“I eat a lot of authentic Mexican food. This place is definitely very good. Haven’t had anything from here I didn’t enjoy. I order at least 3 times a week since I live up the road. My favorite being the Enchilada Cemita. I recommend El Gallo Dorado to everyone.”

“I got tacos for my brother, my boyfriend, and I. I got carnitas which was pretty good I liked there wasn’t much fat in the taco! My boyfriend and my brother both got steak they enjoyed it. They did put some extra hour sauce at home but they enjoyed the tacos. They are a little on the blander side but I haven’t had pancheros in a while and wanted to try it out again.”

“Tried this place earlier today. My daughter bought me back a pulled chicken Arepa with Rice, Queso and the Garlic Crema. Wow it was so good definitely will be going myself.”

“Freshest seafood in Shelton, the guys working work their asses off and are very respectful and outgoing to the customers. Worth every penny. Support small local businesses like this place.”

“Usually their salads are delicious. But today i came by, right when they opened up (prob a mistake) and ordered a crispy chicken salad … My salad was done in about 5 mins …. ( how can chicken be cooked that fast?) Anyway, i tried to eat the salad for dinner. My croutons were stale, the bread was stale and tomatoes along with the cucumbers tasted like theve been sitting out from the night before. I doubt chicken was freshly made. I’m so disappointed. Next time i know not to come right when they open up.”

“You owe yourself a December treat! Mine will be this week on Tuesday night. I’m ordering two petite dinners of the short ribs. They are to die for…uncork the wine and I’ll forget the stress of December!”

“I love this place. They make the best grinders in my opinion, anywhere! They never disappoint and their food is phenomenal. I order from here at least 2-3 times a week. They’re that great!!”

“Had great meal tonight at Thai Shelton Kitchen! Fresh food, great Thai teas, and great service!”

“Cuppy's is a great neighborhood bar and their staff are very friendly.”

“I want to preface this by saying I'm really really picky about deli meat. I NEVER eat it. However, after having surgery this week , this just sounded good so I tried it. I was actually blown away by how good this was. The meat was fresh, not slimy like most deli meat is and they were very very generous with toppings. The person working was super nice and patient and took his time making the sandwiches. I was impressed by how clean it was too. This was more of a good deli feel as opposed to a chain sandwich place. Thank you for making my horrible day so much better. ❤️”

“Absolutely love this place. They have a great selection of polish style foods, and spices. Been here numerous times, and plan to go there again and again. Very courteous people and extremely helpful. The best part is the hot foods and sausages. For a small store they carry a large selection.”

“Chaves Bakery is amazing!! They always make all our cakes so special and they are super moist and delicious!!”

“The best food, and their staff really know their stuff.”

“Living in Shelton for many years but first time here-very good Chinese food for a reasonable price-we had spring rolls wonton soup shrimp with lobster sauce and the triple seafood-all good. We did takeout. Will return.”

“Absolutely friendly and welcoming place to be whether it’s happy hour or a late night out. Great team of Bartenders, Jess Bobby & Kyle all on top of their game.

“My heritage is Italian and for the majority of my life I lived in a Italian community in NY. When I moved ti Shelton Connecticut, I found myself in search of a good Italian Restaurant! My search ended when I found Matto’s Wine bar in Shelton. My waitress immediately tended to our every need. Her name was Chelsea and she took the time to explain to us how the items we were interested in were prepared. She gave us great recommendations and never rushed us to order. I love margaritas so my drink order was easy. My wife on the other hand likes sweet and unusual drinks. Chelsea recommended a drink with Italian ice in it and my wife was in Heaven! I can assure you that the food is delicious and definitely authentic Italian. The meatballs were phenomenal as was my veal cutlet and my wife’s pasta. Though they were extremely busy the manager, Mr. Ricky Rosario was out on the floor helping serve customers. If I even looked his wsy he came to our table to see if we needed anything. I honestly felt like royalty as they couldn’t do enough for us. I would definitely recommend this establishment as the good and service were outstanding. Ask for Chelsea as your waitress though they are all equally good.”

A very special thank you to Linda, who went above and beyond to make the event feel truly special. She was attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire day and was always one step ahead and making sure every one had what they needed.

If you’re looking for a venue to host a special occasion or even just a great meal this is the place. Thank you again to the entire team for making such a meaningful day even more memorable!”
