    L'Orcio is among the finest restaurants in Connecticut. Its homemade pastas are exquisite. The gnocchi are little pillows of love floating in a sea of happiness, regardless of which sauce is to your taste. The gorgonzola sauce on the perfect temperature steak is extraordinary. Cocktails are expertly prepared. The wine list has choices for every palate. The back patio when open for the season will transport you Tuscany.
