About the restaurant

In Italy, an osteria is a place noted for serving simple food and good wine, usually offering shared tables and locally-sourced foods. This is precisely the inspiration behind Viron Rondo Osteria in Cheshire, CT. Focused on a seasonal menu, Viron Rondo Osteria roasts free-range chicken, artisanal breads, and classic Italian fare in its wood fired ovens, while offering patrons drinks from its innovative cocktail list and cellar. With a happy hour as well as lunch and dinner menus, the Viron Rondo Osteria is happy to accept large groups and offer only the most thoughtful selections based on the very best foods and ingredients currently available.

The "rehatching" of an old favorite lunch option of Tuscan table at Tuscany has been quite gratifying. I love the varied offerings for this buffet ..(for example today there's spare ribs and beef tenderloin for carving station. Other days maybe roast beef or prime rib.) This variation of weekday menu offerings I believe is even more appealing than the weekday brunch! Today we had Elyse as our server. She was extremely helpful and hard working. She looked all over to make sure we got our requested juice. Thank you. We shall return for more Tuscan table lunch.

Shelton has a bright new star on the dining scene. We recently returned to Shelton after being away for a few months and we were delighted to find that a new Mercato Italian Kitchen had opened here in the Fountain Square shopping complex. What a place! The food is excellent, from the complementary focaccia bread and seasoned olive oil at the start, to the creamy gelato at the finish. In between is an excellent menu featuring pasta, pizza, a huge selection of antipasto starters, and daily specials. Everything we had was truly wonderful. Our server was punctual and unobtrusive, the music is spirited but not annoying and the outdoor seating option will be great in warmer weather. Magnifico! We will be back.
