nice setting for memorial service luncheon
John M.

Enjoyed my fist visit to Amando's in Bethel CT during a post memorial service luncheon. The service for a large group was on point and the venue was pleasant - in spite of strip mall location. Food was tasty although the somewhat less than tender chicken piccata was the differentiator between a 3 and 4 star. Enjoyed the tasty pasta with vodka sauce and fresh and flavorful veggies and the generous serving of calamari. The salad was a bit sparse and plain. All in all a pleasant experience I would go again to try the table service!

Fried Calamari

Great Anniversary dinner at Armondo's Restaurant tonight. Excellent Veal & chicken Marsala over pasta. Yummy desserts, Carmel custard & Italian style cheese cake. For an appetizer we had fried calamari , it was disappointing. We've had it here before and this was definitely a break from their tradition. I am sure it came out of a frozen box- not what I expected based on past orders. Complimentary limoncello to end the meal!

a bowl of lasagna on a plate

Family owned and great traditional Italian food. They are always friendly and the portion sizes are great. The chicken parm and lasagna are two of my favorites when I come there.

Armandos is a good place to eat and I have been there many times. I enjoy the food, the service and atmosphere. I will continue to patronize for good Italian food.

Wine and drink suggestions are always spot on, and sometimes I even get a complimentary shot of their lemoncello.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!!…read more We found this out-of-the-way restaurant by a search in Yelp because we were not familiar with the area we were in. We were blown away by the cleanliness of the restaurant (including the bathroom), the service, and the food. My wife ordered chicken parmigiana and I had a special, eggplant parmigiana on meat ravioli. Both of our meals were delicious, and we have very discerning tastes for restaurant food. I paired my meal with a delicious glass of Chianti. For dessert, I had espresso and my wife had a cappuccino. Both were well done. On the way out, I asked for and found the owner to tell her how impressed we were with our experience and why.

The BEAST stepped into Gisella's Ristorante... and this one? It's got the reputation but doesn't…read morefully live up to the hype. Good, but not as great as the ratings suggest. Let's start with what they do right. The place has that classic Italian restaurant feel cozy, welcoming, and clearly built for family-style dining. You can tell right away why people like it. Service tends to be friendly, portions are solid, and it checks that "comfort food" box. But The BEAST isn't here for vibes alone... helpful definitely, but we're here for the food. And this is where things level out. The dishes especially staples like chicken parm come out looking the part, but flavor-wise? It's a little one-dimensional. The sauce leans heavy and slightly flat, lacking that bright, fresh tomato punch you want in a strong Italian kitchen. It fills you up, sure but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. There's also a bit of that "quantity over precision" feel. Big portions are great, but when you're sitting at a 4.7-star reputation, expectations jump and this doesn't quite match that level of execution.

During a long and rainy trip from NJ to MA, we stopped for dinner enroute at this little restaurant…read moregem. David, our friendly, knowledgeable host and waiter, made suggestions and we each ordered a salad and the Rigatoni Bolognese. The portions were perfect, not outrageously large, but enough to bring some home for another meal. The Spinach Salad with Pancetta, Candied Walnuts, Gorgonzola, Onion, Craisins, and Lemon-Shallot Dressing was crisp, fresh, and delectable. The bolognese was absolutely delicious and as good as any bolognese offered at an Italian eatery in Boston's North End. We highly recommend Bottega if you leave near Bethel, CT or if you're just passing through the area.

Warmly greeted upon arrival. Given the choice of bar seating or regular seating. Chose regular…read more Menu was chock full of lots of food we liked. Hard to make a decision. Nice selection of drinks. Waitress was very nice and patient. Gave us lots of time to decide. She brought some bread with oil which was good. We started with fried calamari. Delicious! Next time I would ask for lemon. I ordered the chicken franchise and my husband chose the chicken Milanese. We each enjoyed our entrees. We couldn't finish so brought home the leftovers. We arrived around 6pm, to a fairly empty dining room. When we left, the room had filled out more. Can easily see this place be hopping on the weekend. Waitress was really nice! Recommend Bottega to everyone. We will definitely be back.

I was in Brookfield purchasing a car. The sales associate and I were discussing our favorite…read moreburger places and, not having eaten yet, I asked for a recommendation. He wholeheartedly recommended Bora Restaurant. I followed his advice and was not disappointed! Do not judge the book by its cover. It looks plain and unassuming on the outside and took me a few seconds to spot it. (No pic, as I was distracted by my new car!) The inside was nicely appointed. Perhaps too many fake flowers, but maybe not. They seemed to work and add color. I went at 4 pm on a Saturday, so between lunch and dinner. There were people, but no crowds or noise. All I wanted was a good burger. And I got it! I ordered the House Burger: (6 oz?) Marbled Wagyu Beef, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Bacon, Red Onion, Toasted Brioche, and Special Burger Sauce on the side. (Truthfully, I included all that for your benefit. I only wanted the burger, bacon, and bun with ketchup on the side.) It was delicious! I did manage to snap a pic before I descended upon it like a ravenous Serengeti carnivore... with a modicum of decorum so as not to scare the other guests. The service was fast and friendly and the prices reasonable. This is the sort of place I would like to return to in order to try some of their finer dishes!

They had a pre-fixed menu & I ordered a lemonade, the Crispy Potato Gnocchi, Stuffed Scallops with risotto, & Chocolate Lava Cake. The gnocchi was delicious, the stuffed scallops were undercooked, but the risotto was perfectly cooked & seasoned, & their chocolate lava cake was amazing!! I wish I ordered something different since I wasn't able to enjoy the scallops, but overall a good experience. I'm for sure coming back here to try something different on the menu!
