“I’ve been a fan and customer of Villarina’s Southbury for many years for far too many reasons to list ... but the most important one is the owners who are family and treat everyone like family!❤️ This is a quick review to say YUMMMM!!! Before the “stay at home” order went into effect, I stocked up on their frozen dinners and lots of pasta sauce. Always love having these in our house and especially so now. We recently tried the frozen linguine w/white clam sauce I had picked up. It was our first time for this dinner and WOW! It was fabulous. My husband says it’s the best he’s ever had. It’s not something I typically eat but loved it. We’ll add it to our list of things to pick-up. Thanks as always!!!“

“3rd. Time at Mercato. Food is good. Problem is the music! If you want to eat and relax, forget it! If you are 15 and like loud disco type music, this is your place. They need some relaxing jazz, Opera, Sinatra etc. However picked the music for an Italian Restaurand, knows nothing about a relaxing atmosphere!!!!“

“First time at Miranda's! Greeted immediately when we walked in the door. The staff was so warm and friendly. The restaurant was empty when we arrived around 4:30. Took us a few minutes to decide what we were having, but the waitress was so kind and accommodating. Finally decided on garlic bread with cheese, cheese pizza, meatball grinder. Meat lasagna, soup and Caesar salad. Everything was on point and delicious. Not a crumb left on the table when we finished. When we left there wasn't an empty table in the place. Highly recommend you give them a try.“

“Me and my individual went there last night. We each got our own pizza. Broccoli & chicken pizza, pepperoni pizza. Both were very delicious especially with that crunchy crust not too crunchy but just perfect. The family there was very nice, helpful and funny. All and All definitely will be returning for more pizza.“

“Great food, excellent service and attentive wait staff. Highly recommended“

“Love this restaurant. Favorite place in town I make homemade cheese and can't even come close to their house made ricotta. So rich and creamy. Love the pizzas. Definitely recommend!“

“Great Food, Great Drinks, and Great Service“

“Amazing experience. Run, don't walk to Sugo Gastrobar!! It was a 5 star experience. The drinks: look at the GIANT espresso martini shared between 3 people. The martini could have had 4 people. It is soooo amazing and delicious. A special recipe espresso martini. Come and experience it. This place is a hidden treasure. The food is delicious!! Love it!“

“Excellent dinner, love the house salad dressing!“

“Stopped in for a late snack. We got four different pizza slices … all DELICIOUS.
Quick and pleasant service at the counter. This is pizza like I used to get as a kid in my old Italian neighborhood in NY. That’s the highest praise I can give it!“

“Wasn't sure about this place when we pulled in to the parking lot but so glad we gave it a try . I ordered the Zuppa di pesce ( one of my favorite hard to find meals ) absolutely everything I was hoping it would be and more . Very extensive menu if you can't find something here to tickle your taste buds maybe your not human . The service was awesome. The restaurant itself ain't very fancy but a steady flow of traffic of people picking up and calling in for orders . They are definitely doing something right . Me and the wife was in from out of town for a funeral. And we was very satisfied with our meals and service . So if your in the area this place is definitely worth the stop .“

“We celebrated our 14th Anniversary at Roma’s last night - ambiance was perfect, the other diners shared their night with us, the calamari appetizer , my Shrimp Pappardelle & Joe’s Shrimp Fra Diavolo were excellent!! Thank you Tommy and staff for an amazing dinner and special dessert to remember ❣️❣️“

“We celebrated our daughter-in-law's birthday at Aldo's last night, and it was fantastic! The service was outstanding, with a quiet and beautiful ambiance that made the evening even more special. The food was exceptional – everything from the appetizers and drinks to the entrees and dessert was delicious. This isn't just our first visit; we've been enjoying Aldo's for three years now. We started with takeout shortly after moving here, and it was so good, we even delivered dinner to a neighbor undergoing cancer treatment. Their authentic Italian food is exactly what we love, and the convenient 7-minute drive makes it a go-to spot. We already have reservations for Mother's Day – can't wait!“

“First time there. Our hostess was also preparing drinks, answering the phone and then she was our server! What a trooper. Lots of menu choices. Meals were all delish: baked rigatoni, penne vodka, chicken Frances, beef stroganoff and a cavatelli dish. Yum! Lovely atmosphere.“

“I stopped in for a Roast Beef grinder and small container of potatoe salad. The bread was fresh, the roast beef, Boar's Head brand, amazingly tender, and tasty. Perfect mix of condiments, seasoning and vegetables. I have lived in Seymour for quite a few years, and had never tried the grinders, I will be back.“

“Delicious food with a beautiful atmosphere“

“The customer service is great especially Kaysie Karas I think she deserves a pay increase for her Excellence“

“Omg the best food. My favorite is the cherry teriyaki wings. Everything I have ordered was fantastic.“

“Great food. Need to get rid of that rude waitress. We have been there several times,and She is not nice at all. Seems to be mad all the time.“

“I love this restaurant and the family that works hard every day. Always quality food for a great price.“

“Tried Pizzaro’s Pizzeria for the first time. My wife and I shared a large antipasta salad and a large cheese pizza with garlic, half pepperoni and half broccoli. Everything was great. While this is more a takeout place they have large booths and the service was excellent. The salad was awesome and so large we took 1/4 of it home. The pizza was excellent. Thin crust with a delicious sauce. I’m not a fan of the outer crust but this was so good I ate everything. I highly recommend their pizza. We have to go back and try their subs and meals as I witnessed many people getting these and pizza for takeout. I give it five stars. We will be back.“

“Lovely dinner and dessert❤️“

“This was a wonderful experience for my stepson and I. Christy was probably the nicest waitress I have encountered in my life. Answered all questions we had, made accommodations requested by a 6 year old with 0 hesitation or annoyance, the food was great and came out as quickly as the bread, my stepson had requested an additional side not listed on the kids menu and she didn't even bat an eyelash making it happen for him. Fairly priced, amazing atmosphere, they deserve all the extra recognition they've been getting lately and then some!! We will definitely be back, time and time again.“

“We've been coming here since they opened in Woodbury, and it's safe to say that they're still just as good, if not better. Everything I've ever had here is always hot, fresh, and tasty. If I ever have time, I always try and come in for a slice of Buffalo chicken pizza. It always comes out in a timely manner, and is constantly amazing every time. The owner is extremely friendly, and makes for a great experience everytime. While they may be priced a little higher than some other pizza places, you are absolutely getting what you pay for.“

“Was skeptical about meals to bring home and heat up. Let me tell you I'm hooked. The lasagna was so full of flavor . Chicken Francese was awesome. Got some fresh pasta to cook up and meatballs. Amazing food. Quality better then I've had at alot of dine in restaurants. Wish I stopped in sooner!!“

“I had lost power for 28 hours last week. I called Carlito’s on Friday evening 6/28 after I got my electricity back ?. I had salad, warm
rolls, fried zucchini with marinara sauce, my entree was 2 sautéed soft shell crabs & pasta.
The service was amazing! Food delicious!
I decided I had room for dessert. I sat in the lounge and had a scrumptious chocolate lava cake!!!
I don’t want all of my food delivered at once. At Carlito’s I didn’t feel rushed. Warm rolls and ice water. Appetizer. Salad. Entree. All served after you have finished the previous course. I enjoyed a very relaxed evening!
Thank you Carlito’s.
Servers, please keep smiling! ?

Parking: As Carlitos is a small restaurant and has takeout; they have clearly marked area for takeout and dining parking.
A well lit parking lot. I was catching up on my messages in the parking lot and the owner stopped & asked me if I was okay!!! ?

Kid-friendliness: Outdoor or indoor dining!! Definitely a family friendly place!“

“Best pizza in town!!!Great family restaurant... staff & owners are always smiling with wonderful service !!“

“Great people offering your typical fan fare for a pizzeria. I have had their pizza, and although it is not for me, theirs subs are by far the best in the area. Their grinder rolls are exquisite and come from NY and mesh phenominaly with their chicken parm and sausage and peppers. I find their grinders very well priced for what you get and always well received. ALSO, a GIANT kudos... these people take phone orders CORRECTLY and follow directions well!

Parking: Plenty of spots“

“Great Pizza“

“I got a basic item, mozzarella sticks. They had the good ones, extra thick and good Marinara sauce. The fries were very good as well, super crispy and fresh. The man working there, may be the owner was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely suggest people come here and support a good business ?“

“We have gotten Martino's quite a few times now and tonight's service was very good. i was waiting with my 5-year-old who was growing a little bit impatient. they were still smiling and kind to her. The pizza was too hot for her to have a slice on our way home so we ran back into get a slice for her and the owner said he would buy it for her for the patience we had. every time we have come here we have never had any issues and I couldn't be happier with how they treated us tonight. We gladly Drive the 20 minutes ( when I'm not running a girl about meeting) to get there to get our pizza because we know the service and taste will be good. so thank you again to the staff tonight, May 16th 2024!“

“Randomly came across this restaurant as we were traveling back home from the Bearzley Zoo because we are Entertainment Coupon Members and this restaurant came up as a suggestion for dinner. Great find. The food was amazing. Lasagna was perfect. Plenty of portions and the Fettuccine Alfredo was creamy and delicious. My daughter who is a picky eater and eats not that much had 4 slices of the cheese pizza. She really enjoyed it. The service was great too. Pretty atmosphere with the stones inside.“

“You can’t beat them, local, great food and fast.“

“Vasilios is a great person and the food at Spartan is amazing. They are a staple in our area and a wonderful part of our community.“

“Everything tasted great and the crew was friendly and helpful! From the chunks of garlic on the garlic bread to their amazing marinara, we will definitely come again before we head back west! If you haven’t been here you are missing out!“

“I hosted my husband’s surprise birthday party in the banquet room. We had over 50 people. It was a great night. The space was perfect, the food and service were awesome! Crystal was our point person and absolutely amazing but, the rest of the staff was excellent too. I highly recommend the Brookside Inn to anyone looking for a great and memorable event!“

“We live in Oakville and we have been getting our take out from Paradise for over 15 years. We just love everything there. We are never disappointed. They have saved us on many occasions with their party pizza, which is so reasonably priced. My kids would always have a lot of friends over, we can feed everyone and not break the bank. Dave and his staff are so friendly. We are actually on a first name basis because I am in there so often. The delivery drivers are awesome. If you haven't tried their food, please do.“

“We had a catering order on Saturday from Nardelli’s in Oxford. I give it 5 stars. The food was delicious ( outstanding Stuffed Shells among other items) and presented well. It was delivered early by Tyler who was so helpful and pleasant. I could not be more pleased. Thanks to all in Oxford!“

“Everything is wonderful! Take out for us every Saturday!“

“New favorite 4.5 . .......“

“Excellent pasta dishes!!!!“

“We had the Greek salad. They are huge!“

“Franco’s is our go-to for delivery. From the pizza to the grinders and wraps to the salads, we are never disappointed. They deliver on time, the food is still hot and fresh, and it’s always perfectly made. Their pesto mayo is amazing and gets added to almost everything we order!“

“we had our sons graduation party it was great food great service. Love this place always a good time food is always good“
