This is the best restaurant in the state of CT! Maria is a wonderful person and welcoming. The bartender Amy is also wonderful she knows you by name and the drink you always order. Great staff and food! If you haven’t been you need to try Ria’s!
Amy was the best… the way she explained the food to us was amazing. She was on point with the flavor profile of the dishes we got… We had Buffalo wings to start ( I could drink the blue cheese) the Risotto de pollo ( OMG 😳) and the Chicken Parm… super impressed and prices were great. I can’t wait to go back. This was the day after my birthday for lunch. Thank u for a great experience
Good food great service we will be back soon
