Restaurants in Wallingford

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bmuse Café is consistently amazing! Fresh, healthy, made-to-order food that never disappoints. The oriental salad with grilled chicken is my favorite, and their sides like potato salad, fresh fruit, and yogurt parfaits are delicious. Perfect spot for a quick, quality lunch — highly recommend!”

“1st visit. Ordered take out & grabbed a coffee during the brief wait. Service was efficient & friendly. Establishment was clean & welcoming. I deeply appreciate that they offer tofu. We ordered the “Vito” swapping chicken out for tofu & the “Cypress Garden” sandwiches… both were delicious. The prices were reasonable for the high quality of the ingredients. One was $10 the other $12 & this price even included choice of side: pasta salad, apple or chips. We chose the lemon basil pasta salad & it was just as delicious as the sandwich’s. Thank you…you’ve won this customer over for sure!”

“Just had my birthday there for 6 plus hours with family and friends everyone was amazing! I couldn’t ask for a better place to host an event”

“My friends and I wanted to check this place out for a while and were absolutely blown away. The food was fantastic and arrived quickly, the drinks were delicious, and everyone was super super friendly. The waitress we had was super sweet and the owners came to check on us and chat about their recent one year anniversary as a restaurant!
I have never eaten somewhere that felt as personable and comfortable as this one. We will absolutely be back again.”

“Hole in the wall location. Great service. The tortillas and spicy salsa appetizer was excellent, though a slightly larger salsa serving would be appreciated. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and tastiness of the tacos. Had carnitas, al pastor, and birria… all on perfectly warmed tortillas. The tortillas tasted like they were made in-house. The roasted poblanos that came with the tacos elevated each delicious bite. The horchata aguas fresca was very refreshing. Best tacos I’ve had since I left Moreno Valley, CA. Will be back.”

“Phenomal roadside burger stand. Got the grizzly burger, wally monster burger, macdaddy burger, a vanilla shake, and a nutella shake. Everything was great, service was fast and friendly and the food came out very quick. If I'm ever coming through again on a roadtrip you can bet imma stop here for lunch, i do wish they kept the 2 guys and a grill sign (maybe 2 guys 1 grill?)”

“I visited the Cajun Crab in Wallingford Ct and let me tell you… as soon as you walk in you get smacked with this amazing aroma of seafood. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. They have tables for you to dine in. The food alone was thebomb.com. I got an order of 1/2lb shrimp 1/2lb crab legs Lobster tail potatoes corn and I ordered extra eggs with the butter garlic sauce. Let’s just say me and my husband tore it up. It was sooooo good and I highly recommend it. I paid about 45$-50$ because I ordered more boiled eggs but it’s worth every dollar”

“Excellent customer service. Lattes had a good flavor and we're not acidic. There are numerous options on the menu from smoothies to match and tea. The menu does not have food. The line is a little confusing and we were not close enough to scan the QR code which is a little strange to me so when we got to the customer service person we didn't know what we wanted. She was super helpful and very nice. Our order was perfect and we really enjoyed the lattes.”

“We had chocolate martinis, Lobster fingers for appetizer, whole belly clams and clam strips and scallops. Our dinner was so good I went back the following day for lunch with my daughter.”

“Vegetable soup: The vegetable soup from Rosa’s Deli comes highly recommended by me. It has plenty of fresh vegetables, is not salty at all like many others are, (my feeling on salt is that you can always add more but cannot extract it), and comes with saltine crackers and a spoon (I did not need the spoon as this was my maiden voyage for my new soup spoon)!”

“Thai food at its BEST!!!!”

“I’m not lying when I say this but this is the best chicken there is. I’m addicted and love this place so much. Fun fact I eat it for lunch and dinner everyday, because it’s that good. I love Cheeks!”

Little did we know when stopping by this morning, we had done ourselves the greatest disservice by going anywhere else besides here😭 the food is soooo good like when your parents make you breakfast and you’re super hungry on a weekend morning. This is the only place I’ll ever go for a meal again. We are OBSESSED”

“We purchased an ice cream cake for our daughter’s birthday and it was beautiful and delicious! They were extremely accommodating with my daughter’s picky taste! Highly recommend using them for your next cake 😊”

“Alyssa’s Cakery absolutely knocked it out of the park! They created the most incredible gluten and dairy-free wedding cake for us, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. The flavor was unreal - rich, moist, and absolutely delicious. You would never know it was allergen-friendly. Every guest who tried it was blown away. The presentation was perfection. The cake was beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding day… elegant, beautifully detailed, and crafted with so much care. It looked like something out of a magazine. From start to finish, Alyssa’s Cakery delivered quality, artistry, and heart. We couldn’t be more grateful and will be recommending them to everyone we know!”

“Cannot thank the staff, especially Debbie, Cheryl, and Christine for their amazing efforts in coordinating a dinner at Gaetano's following a funeral for our treasured family member. We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations, the food, and especially the service. We received many positive compliments from our family and friends. We could not have picked a better spot to gather. We are so grateful for the comfortable, supportive and positive experience we had during such a difficult time we were all going through.”

“I'm originally from Texas and I was raised on food this good and well prepared, but usually you had to be invited to a Sunday cookout with your buddy and their 50 closest relatives for this level. The service is great, the food comes out quick and fresh, the flavors are top notch and very authentic for South Texas/ Northern Mexico. We've been twice and we're excited that we've found actual Mexican cuisine up here. Who would have thought Wallingford would have such a gem! Wallingford is for Foodies I'm quickly finding out.”

“Excellent pizza. Thin crust, good red sauce, tasty toppings. Great central location too!”

“My son and I went today for lunch. I have been wanting a pistachio martini since I saw it made from the happy bartender with the huge smile. I didn’t get her name but see her on the Christos fb videos. Did not disappoint was delicious. She is a great bartender and a wonderful waitress l. We sat in the bar area and it was enjoyable as it wasn’t loud and the table gave us plenty of room for our meal. Brussels Sprouts were delicious as always I had a Cajun wrap and my son had a huge salad loaded with chicken and avocado 🥑 I remember Christos when it was in the plaza and the food never disappoints. I also enjoy the daily family specials text to me. If you haven’t signed up to get the daily specials text to you do it. So many great meals to pick up and bring home. There’s two different specials. Every day lunch and dinner. Give Christos a try if you haven’t been you won’t be disappointed. I live in West Haven but my son is lucky enough to live in North Haven and pick up from Christos on his way home from Westport.”

The pizza was properly crunchy on the sides with an even distribution of toppings. Flavorful throughout. Each slice was practically a meal by itself. Even better, it reheated extremely well. This indicates a clean kitchen and quality sourcing.

The salad was crisp and tasty. Dressing was rich and creamy but not overly so. Excellent complement to the pizza.

10/10 will order again :)”
