“Night 2 in Trumbull and wanted something comforting...therefore, you can't go wrong with Italian!

The food was delicious. I had fettuccine Alfredo. The pasta was more aldente than I would have liked, but overall, still food.

The location is small. We were a group of 5 and it was compact. Also, there are only high top seats available, which is not accessible. As someone who is height challenged (I am short) the seats were very uncomfortable. As we were leaving, they were setting up for a larger group... I am curious to see how that worked especially with a normal Saturday night crowd.“

“These people get customer service I was walking by and they all had a smile and greeted me and so I was like came for chines but let’s see what they got for a cocoa bread and beef patty with cheese first off the fact that it was the best one I’ve had in ct and it was at an American Italian spot is wild 😂 fire food everything looked beautiful and delicious“

“Food & Service always the best“

“This review is long overdue, I’ve been going to Mattei’s for a long time now. Their food is outstanding. If you like eggplant this place has the best eggplant I’ve ever had. Not to mention unlike a lot of other places, Mattei’s loads up their sandwiches and gives you PLENTY! The employees are also very polite and happy to help. All of their food is delicious, I highly recommend coming here and trying it.“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Had a phenomenal dinner tonight at Italian Kitchen. Dom made me a lovely salad with beets, avocado and roasted pepper, then on to a single serving of calamari and the best salmon Oregonnsta. Thanks Dom!“

“They did an amazing job catering my son’s farm wedding!! Pizza truck was a big hit and the food was delicious“

“4 of us had dinner last night, food was excellent! The eggplant rollatini was stuffed with ricotta, tender eggplant and delicious sauce. My husband had sausage & mushroom pizza. Nice crust, just enough toppings and again, that sauce! Fried calamari was tender & crispy. 6 nice size shrimp in the cocktail. If I had anything to complain about it would be the cocktail sauce was a bit wimpy for my taste. More horseradish, guys! Lol Service was super, empty glasses and plates were removed after we finished. Cozy atmosphere, nice music at a good volume. I highly recommend the place! <3“

“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!“

“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.“

“I ordered takeout & had the Westport Salad with blackened grilled chicken. It may have been the best salad I’ve ever had! It had so much chicken in it, and they didn’t skimp on the candied walnuts. The staff is very friendly and hospitable, and the prices are great. 😊“

“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!!“

“The food is absolutely delicious and the help is extraordinarily polite and helpful. Our new favorite Italian restaurant!“

“Been looking for a good pizza since we moved here. definitely going to be our place for italian.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Amazing food, but unfortunately we had a bad experience at Jennie’s today, one lady I believe works there’s treats us really rude, supposedly b a family lunch and she destroy everything, we have to take all or food back to home because we can’t stay after her act, totally rude, but when we got home I have to say, the food is amazing“

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

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

“I’ve been once and it was awesome but my second time back, my husband and I had a horrible experience. 1-2pm on a Saturday in JUNE, there was ONE waitress (who was lovely) but took forever because she was waiting on other tables AND bartending. The food was horrible, (second time around) & was undercooked. The only thing we enjoyed was our 1 beer and 1 glass of wine. I hate to say but I don’t think we’d give it another shot unfortunately. Too bad it’s a great location and close to home.“

“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!“

“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!“

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