All of their food is delicious, I highly recommend coming here and trying it.“

“I dined here with a group of six a couple of weeks ago and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The portions were very generous, our waiter was attentive, kind and pleasant. The music, atmosphere and ambiance were lovely and the food and desserts were incredible. I ordered food to go last night and met the owner, he was such a wonderful man and very appreciative of his customers. Once again everything was perfect and delicious. I can’t wait to go back soon. I highly recommend that you check out Flames soon.“

“Gusto is absolutely FANTASTIC! My family went there yesterday for my mother's birthday and we all thoroughly LOVED it. The food is incredibly delicious and well-portioned. Our server, especially, was really wonderful, very peppy, caring and attentive. Don't know her name but she is around 4' 11" - 5' 2", wears eyeglasses and is of Asian descent. She's really terrific, as are the chefs. Been wanting to visit Gusto for several years. Well worth the wait.“

“What a fantastic place for great Italian food. Having just arrived from Los Angeles, where good Italian food is extremely difficult to find, it was a pleasure to immediately walk into the place and smell the aromas of authentic Italian food. A nice family owned restaurant that creates extremely wonderful food. Such a joy to experience. Hope to get back in a couple days that I am here“

“Last night we were there for an early Birthday dinner for me! It's been a long time since we've dined at Ralph 'n' Rich's, but I will say that our food was delicious, & the service was superb! Brittany was our server, & she was awesome! I can't recall our busboy's name but he was great with bringing bread to our table, & refilling our water glasses as needed. I had the baby arugula salad special to start, & it was so tasty & the perfect beginning before having an old favorite of mine, linguine with white clam sauce. My hubby really enjoyed the Spiedina Romano which is a kicked up mozzarella appetizer that if he fully polished it off, he wouldn't have ate his Chicken Piccata then tangerine sorbet afterwards! Don't worry, we brought home leftovers to enjoy! Topping off things was a surprise singing of "Happy Birthday" when my tartufo came out! Reservations are strongly recommended especially for dinner, but Ralph 'n' Rich's is a gem that's had staying power in Downtown Bridgeport for many years. Go there & enjoy!“

“Great food in a small cozy atmosphere where you feel so welcomed. Personal interactions with the staff make you feel like family. Lemon lava cake is to die for!!!“

“Food was delicious! Drinks were very expensive. C&C sour was $14.95..small glass with lots of ice!!“

“Testo's is hands down the best restaurant in town, if not all of fairfield county. Their food and portions are phenomenal, and never disappoint. My friends and I frequently visit and almost always order off the specials menu, which has something for everyone. My last dish was Lobster Ravioli Lillian. It was slap yo mama good 😍😍😍😍.Don't pass this place up!“

“Delicious!! Excellent food. Service is wonderful.“

“I have been eating here for the past 30 years.The Chicken Francese has to be the best hands down and thumbs ? ? ? up. All the food is fresh and has to be cooked to order. I also recommend the pizza ?. Thin crust cheese and sauce makes it !!!“

“Delicious meals - we had the shrimp & scallops penne in cream sauce“

“Once again last night you did not disappoint me. Food was great, Service was great, Drinks, well, Espresso Martini, I can drink them all night. I don't have a unpleasant thing to say. Was there with some friends of mine and their daughter who's back from school for a long weekend. No pictures of food, you know what your food looks like. Probably 50% cheaper than some of the restaurants a little further down the Post Rd in Fairfield Center that I drove by. I never feel rushed at your place. Thanks again for making a special night even more special.“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“I've been there many times in the first years of the restaurant opening. Not since after covid im gou gvto try it again in December when i visit Milford. The food is delicious. I like that it is a small family owned restaurant. Eerything on the menu is prepared fresh and always great!“

“Slices is great and you can’t beat the prices. The owner is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Support this small business!!!!“

“Had an amazing time at this family owned restaurant! The food was amazing, the service was top notch, and staff were just so friendly. A unique intimate dining experience.“

“i tried the fried mozzarella, burrata salad, truffle tagliatelle, and chicken parmigiana.
Everything was great, the chicken parmigiana was exceptionally good.
only thing the burrata was lacking some taste, but everything else was pretty much good.
Andres was extremely helpful and sweet with us.“

“Great food & service. Salmon with spinach risotto, yum. Quaint outdoor seating next to park or cozy bar seating are my fav. See Dee at the bar!“

“If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience in Monroe, look no further than Vazzys Italian Restaurant. From the moment you walk through the door, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an exceptional meal. The rustic, charming décor paired with friendly, attentive service makes you feel right at home.

The menu at Vazzys is a celebration of authentic Italian flavors, each dish crafted with the utmost care and precision. Whether you're a fan of classic pasta dishes, hearty meats, or fresh seafood, there's something to tantalize every palate. The Fettuccine Alfredo is a standout – silky, rich, and perfectly balanced. And the Chicken Parmesan? Absolutely divine – crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it’s the ultimate comfort food.

But what really sets Vazzys apart is the attention to detail. The sauces are made from scratch, using only the finest ingredients, and it truly shines in every bite. The freshly baked bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is addictive, and you’ll find yourself asking for seconds.

For dessert, don’t even think about skipping the Tiramisu. It's the perfect ending to a perfect meal – light, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness.

The staff at Vazzys is top-notch. They make you feel like part of the family, always checking in to ensure everything is just right. The combination of superb food, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance makes Vazzys Italian Restaurant a go-to spot for date nights, family dinners, or any special occasion.

Vazzys has earned its place as a true local favorite, and it’s easy to see why. If you're in Monroe, do yourself a favor and make a reservation—you won’t regret it!“

“We dined here on a Friday night at 6:30 and place was 80%filled by 7:00. Service was very friendly and efficient. Appetizers of grilled and fried calamari were very good. The 14.95 size was very adequate for 2-3 people. Drinks were excellent also. Main course of veal very good, but bourbon cream sauce had a bit too much bourbon, leaving a bitter taste. Noice level particularly loud probably related to hard wood floor. Overall, pretty solid intimate restaurant with a seemingly loyal clientele.“

“Very tasty food, real Italian cuisine, nice atmosphere, I will definitely come back here 😊 I recommend 👍🏼😊“

“Today my wife and I stopped into Jennie's Pizzeria for some late lunch. We entered the bar area. There were no seats at the bar because they were all taken by what appeared to be regulars, they all knew one another. Several others were standing, blocking the way to small tables across from the bar. As we tried to walk to one of these tables we were blocked by the senior citizen regulars who did not move. They would not move for my wife and only did after I spoke up and said very loudly "excuse me". They were not happy and copped an attitude but moved slightly so we could get through. It was very unwelcoming and profoundly cliquey. Sad they have to have a clique at their age. We sat down and it took forever for the one barmaid to come over. She was constantly being called by one of the regulars at the bar to get them more drinks. We ordered and the food took a while to arrive. It was good so no complaints there. The problem with this place is the clientele during happy hour. They are Senior citizens who are rude, cliquey, unfriendly to other patrons and frankly a sad bunch if all they have to do is hang out in a bar everyday to drink. Later a young waitress, who was cute came out and was met with comments from one of the older regulars at the bar. She had to walk around several patrons who did not move to let her pass with food. These people acted like they owned the place and were not happy outsiders invaded their little drinking party. As a result of all this we will never go there to eat again. There are plenty of other places which serve the exact menu close by.“

“Absolutely delicious food, very friendly and wonderful staff, very accommodating we did not have a reservation. Definitely will be back😊😊“

“Another place that I grew up on and Still Amazing food here, old school favorites and additions of something new on menu - like the cauliflower crust pizza, a few do this option not so good sometimes, but consistently very well done here, as with all their dishes, takeout mostly“

“we love this restaurant!! Have been here many times and we will continue to come! Great food, Spirits, and the friendliest and most courteous employees in Fairfield County!!“

“Best bang for your buck pizza-wise in Fairfield.“

“The Best, never disappoints great staff food is delicious always!😋“

“I love their pizza!!! As a New Yorker this is the closest to a New York slice as I have had in Connecticut.“

“I ate there for the first time tonight and was totally blown away. The service was great, and the food was just awesome, the osso bucco was the best I ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant“

“Thank you Vazzy’s for catering the Trumbull HS Post Prom 2025! It was flawless-from menu planning to delivery! They made helpful menu suggestions to get the most out of our budget. They delivered on time and the food was hot, delicious and ready to be served! The kids most enjoyed the pizza, pigs in a blanket and quesadillas. Vazzy’s has catered the THS Post Prom for many years now and other events at THS too. See you next school year for Power-puff and Post Prom!“
