We were late diners this evening. I ordered the New York strip-medium rare-which came with green beans and mashed potatoes and a side salad. The other meal mess pork shank Osso Bucco with potato gnocchi in a delightful sauce and a side salad. Warm bread and oil arrived with our drink order. A delightful evening-many thanks to the friendly staff and expertly prepared meals.

We had a party of 7. The table was ready when we arrived and there was no wait. The grand kids got dough to play with and make it into shapes. It was later cooked and returned to them. My pork dish was excellent as were most of the others. My wives chicken parmeson was a little over cooked. We weren't rushed at all but our food was slow to come out. Had to wait a long time to get our drinks. We had 5 deserts plus coffee. The manager came over to thank us for coming and to check on the meal. It was a low key family dinner. We drove from Georgetown and Monroe to try out the restaurant. I reccommend giving it a try.

This has been our go to when we visit Newtown CT. A great family restaurant always receptive and open to receive children. There’s always ample portions served, cooked perfectly el dente. I have been there on a few occasions and consistency is what you look for in a restaurant. The highlight for my grandchildren is making their own shapes out of the pizza dough provided which is brought back to them baked and ready to eat! It’s a great place to celebrate any occasion .

Great staff, very kid friendly (gave them dough to play with and shape/then cook). Will definitely now be a staple in our rotation and look forward to coming back again. Food was fantastic!

Always great food. Service was a bit slow but it appeared staffing was limited. But I don’t mind waiting when the food is so good.

We were looking to find a new restaurant and liked the menu and gave it a try. What a pleasant surprise to have come upon a treasure. From the moment the owner greeted us at the door we were cared for like family, the food was outstanding and the $26/bottle Sicilian wine paired perfectly with our appetizers and entrees. We have found our new go-to restaurant for excellent food and atmosphere.
