Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Darien

The Divina Restaurant was excellent! Great food and wonderful service. Definitely go again!

We'e been dining at Basso since it first opened. Now with chef Kelly, the menu is broader with a nice variety of daily specials. Food is very good, service is excellent, and on a Friday night, there is a festive vibe to this great local restaurant.

Food is great. Service for coffee was a little long but overall a wonderful evening with friends from Virginia that we brought to zucca. Thank you

Nice meeting spot and good with families. Quite busy given the proximity to the aquarium. This is a historical neighborhood with many former building re purposed into the present day cultural complex. In a former warehouse building the loud background music is really unnecessary and makes conversations very difficult at best. The sounds from the kitchen are more understandable. The food was more than respectable with salads being a bit in the tired side which is always unfortunate because so much produce is available locally in June. The ambiance issues are easily overcome, and this place has good potential. Not something I would go to for a special event, but a nice option in a interesting neighborhood.

My wife and I enjoyed their delicious weekend prime rib dinner. Our food was prepared exactly as requested, table and wine service were excellent and we had a delightful conversation with the “man in charge”, Sal.
