A really beautiful environment. I had some beers to go with the garlic knots. The food is very fresh, the people are wonderful and you're sure to find a new friend.

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!
