“*update: Bar Experience. The bar was very well equipped, the bartender ( Alex) was very attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Carlos made sure everyone was tended and had what they needed. Great teamwork behind the bar. The food Experience at the bar matched that of the dining room experience. The bar and restaurant was busy but Alex, Carlos and all of the staff hustled and the food was hot, tasted wonderful and of course left me wanting desert. If you have not visited this establishment, you are missing out. Everything from their service, their extensive drink menu, their delicious "tapas", their creative specials, their daily menu to their tray of deserts is an experience. Come on by, I promise you will not be disappointed. Check out the updated Bar Experience pictures. A hidden Gem in downtown Southington. This is our second visit here and we are absolutely in love with this restaurant. From its eclectic decor, super attentive staff to its fabulously fantastic tasting tapas and entrees....where do I truly begin. The owners ( Rob, is always stopping by to say hello and check in) are visible and make you feel welcomed, my waitress Alyssa was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious. The pictures below do no justice to the flavors that pop as you are eating them. You can't wait to come back. Oh I almost forgot....the drinks....the best Sangrias!!!! Yes! Sangrias...Sangrias!! You must stop by.“

“Great neighborhoodie kinda bar. Plenty of big TVs, large selection of liquor and beer, great food, great staff and a very large parking lot. On occasion they have bands on the weekends but not quite as often as they used to. I've been going in there on and off well before this place was called Maloney's and I can say I have never seen a fight in there.“

“The food is always on point. The service at the bar, where we prefer to eat, is always top notch. Lani is an awesome server and we love to see her when she is behind the bar. The others are also very good. All of their Mexican dishes are great. My favorites is the Puerco Adovado and the Camarones de Ajon. Their Idaho Potatoes are also awesome for a shareable app or for a meal. We really love spending meal time at Torito. Muchas Gracias!“
