Restaurants near Tariffville

“What a discovery! We should be keeping this a secret but it would be terrible not to share. Reminds me of Carbone’s in the 1970s. Treat yourself to a part of Italy right in your backyard.”

“I was having my car serviced at Davidson and walked across the street and had the most AMAZING BLT on a Himalayan Salt Bagel!!! The people were so friendly and patient!!”

“Always delicious food with great service!”

“We had a wonderful lunch at Dhaba Wala. Delicious and at a good price 😋”

“WOW!!!! I lived in France for 8 years and have traveled through much of Europe……Bounom is hands down the VERY BEST bakery that I have ever been to!!!! My mother and I are fairly accomplished cooks and bakers so are very aware of quality……..we do not eat grocery store pastries….they may be convenient and less expensive but are very poor quality……Kamla makes everything by hand with top quality ingredients the morning that they are sold…..basically, you get what you pay for!!!!!! Top quality ingredients are expensive! You can order online the day before to make sure that you are able to get what you want, they often sell out early. If you want discount store prices, then go to the discount store……Bounom products are EXCEPTIONAL and very much worth the price!!!!! In addition the staff are extremely friendly and helpful!!!! My NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION for a bakery !!!! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to their wonderful goodies!!! I would give them 10 stars if I were able!!!”

“This coffee shop is so much more than a place to grab a drink. It is like a community living room. Warm, creative, and welcoming in the most genuine way. There are art supplies to sit and create, free books to borrow, and games to play. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile. The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem. Our community needs places like this. ☕️📚🖌️🥰”

“I really cannot find the right words to describe the experience you will have when you dine at this gem of a place. It is our "go to" when we want a very memorable evening. From the minute you walk in the door you will be treated like you are the most special couple in the room. Every person that works there goes above and beyond. You almost feel like you are in Europe at a little bistro. And to think it is right here in the lovely little town of Tariffville. Thank you for the wonderful memory you help create.”

“friendly, great food and coffee, great place to take a break on the bike trail”

“Dirk & Co prepared an outstanding menu for my wife’s birthday party- we had 18 people and everyone commented how great the food and tastes were- a few said they were not fans of Thai cuisine before they tried the Green Papayas food… and even they came away big fans! Big home run in every regard! Thanks, we’ll be back”

“Dat went above and beyond to make our first visit to this beautiful establishment amazing! Thank you to him and the rest of this hard working crew!”

“Food is amazing and the service is great! 😊 So excited to hear they are coming to the lake in Southwick Ma!!!”

“Hello All. I was on a mission. My wife had a taste for a pound cake, but not just any pound cake. She wanted a pound cake that tasted like her mom used to make. Well, it took some time to scan the internet and read some of the comments at other bakeries and I found myself very disappointed. As I was about to give up, I found Perfect Poundcakes. I read the comments from their customers and I thought I would give them a try. I placed my order online. When I picked up my poundcake I was greeted by a friendly staff that took extreme pride in their product. When I arrived home, my wife instantly recognized the aroma that brought her back to some wonderful memories of her mom. Going forward Perfect Poundcakes will be a part of our family events. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!”

“With the move just down the street, Beanz and Co & The NE pasta co transformed itself to another level. The place is spacious and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. In addition to the main dining area, There are three separate seating areas: a room with comfy seats for a small group of talkers, a back room for a quieter setting and a third room perfect for a work meeting or small group of friends or couples.

I love the inclusion of staff with challenges, otherwise may not have this positive opportunity. 💜

The catering is great; I’ve taken home a number of delicious family meals.

The restaurants are run by family and friends creating a place like home. They are always nice and friendly.🌹

I can vision this business holding events in the evening, such as family celebrations or book clubs or small bands.

Naturally I highly recommend a visit to this establishment. It won’t be your last.🌺”

“- Very calming and professional vibe - Answered all the questions I had with ease. - Dottie is very kind and polite I will definitely recommend this shop to everyone.”

“We came here for dinner and were blown away by the quality of food and service. You can be confident that you won't run out of chips and salsa, their papas locas were perfectly crispy and their entrees were all well balanced, and very generously portioned. Oh and you have to get the fried ice cream!!!”

“Absolutely loved our meal at Pietro’s Pizza. We ordered the classic cheese pizza, and it was perfectly baked with a crispy crust, great balance of sauce and cheese, and excellent flavor. The garden salad was fresh and crisp, with quality ingredients that made it more than just a side. The spicy Cajun wings were a standout—well cooked, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat.

Great food, solid portions, and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Pietro’s to anyone looking for good pizza and wings in Hartford.”
