My wife and I came here on a Tuesday night for dinner. The dining room was actually comprised of what felt like two separate rooms with a small divider in between and one side had a lovely fire going. We sat on the other side, which was quite nice too. We started with some white wine for my wife and a cocktail for myself. The drink was well made, and generously poured. I then ordered the Caprese salad, which was absolutely delicious. My wife shared some and agreed. Then she had a dish of pappardelle with seafood which was dressed with garlic and oil; it too was absolutely delicious. I had the linguine vongole which was very good. The pasta in both dishes was cooked perfectly. We then finished the meal with a couple of pieces of cake. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and would not hesitate to return.

We absolutely loved AriBella! From the beautiful Christmas decorations, to the warmth of the fireplace, and the delicious food, everything was perfect. What a great find!!!
We started out having sautéed clams and the warm goat cheese salad, both excellent. The salad had lots of candied walnuts, craisins and a delicious champagne vinaigrette with a warm goat cheese ball coated in crushed walnuts on top.
My entree was Beef Tips over Pasta (prime filet mignon in a delicious brandy cream sauce with mushrooms, sautéed onions and cherry tomatoes over homemade pappardelle). Incredible!
My husband loved his seafood medley (clams, calamari, shrimp and scallops) over pappardelle.
I finished with their delicious triple layer chocolate mousse cake which was so moist.
We will definitely be back soon!

This restaurant was recommended on Resy, and it certainly lived up to the hype. The food was incredible! We started with blackened tuna served with a refreshing and zesty salad, followed by a spectacular swordfish and spinach dish. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area.

Went to AriBella for the very first time and WOW!!! I don’t know why we haven’t tried this place before but my meal was fantastic! The wife and I sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting the bartender Dino. Asked for a montepulciano and within seconds Dino had it served right up! For my meal I ordered the PAPPARDELLE AMANTEA (Homemade pappardelle pasta with clams, calamari, shrimp and scallops tossed in your choice of marinara, fra diavolo or white wine sauce) I went with the fra diavolo and it was absolutely delicious! I will be thinking about this meal all week and already looking forward to going back for it again.

The owner is rude and doesn’t want any business. The place is very local and low-grade, hard to find. The whole area is under construction. I don’t understand how a place like this is promoted by Resy…
Great casual restaurant with amazing food. Attentive staff. Had the filet mignon special, goat cheese salad with walnuts too die for, veal Milanese and cannoli for dessert. They have cocktails and wine. Friendly staff and relaxing ambience. Will be back! Easy parking in Huntington section of Shelton. Outdoor seating is available but we ate inside. Being from Los Angeles 65 is too cold to east outside lol. Love family owned restaurants especially with all the chain restaurants all over Shelton.

My friend and I have been wanting to try this place out for a while, as we workout at the gym in the next parking lot over. So we went with a few other close friends and it did not disappoint. The parking lot is kinda small, but I think you can park in front at the office building lot since they are closed in evening. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, it was a bit cloudy when we went so we sat inside. It was a bit chilly in there, so we asked if the fireplace can be turned in, it was right behind us, and they obliged. Bread was put in table with butter and oil, the bread was not warm and that was a disappointment, but it was still good! We ordered our appetizers to share- calamari, eggplant and another fried dish I can't remember the name. All were take good. But I didn't want to fill up on appetizers bc I ordered the grilled octopus as my entree and wanted to enjoy it. My octopus was served in a bed of arugula and broccoli rab with a balsamic drizzle. It was so good. Definitely worth coming back for. Other entrees for our party was veal chop with mashed potato, asparagus risotto, swordfish, salmon. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Portions were decent. We all shared a slice of carrot cake, they were nice enough to put a candle in it, as one of my friends had a recent birthday. The cake was really good, we finished it! Also, my friend ordered the crab and corn chowder special, but it was a typo, it is CLAM and corn, but then our server, Al, came back apologetically, bc they were out of the soup altogether. But the chef offered her another soup that was not on the menu! That was a boss move! Al was a wonderful server. Attentive and personable. The bus not was good at getting our tables cleared for each course. There's a bar area with TVS, and a room for private events which has a big screen. Bathrooms are clean. Overall we had a great time and will be back I'm sure, hopefully in warmer weather so we can enjoy that outside patio.

I was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the service. Discovering such an excellent establishment in close proximity to my residence is a genuine pleasure. I anticipate becoming a regular patron and would highly recommend it to others seeking a refined dining experience.
