We've been struggling to find a great restaurant in Torrington. Somewhere where the service and the…read morefood are excellent and well worth the price- Sasso's exceeded our expectation. We live around the area kept saying to ourselves throughout the night "why haven't we been here before? We've been missing out on such good food" There seems to be a lot of seating both inside and outside so that's a plus since we were able to get seated right away without a reservation on a Friday night. (they were already pretty busy) Our waitress was so friendly and super attentive even with all the tables she had. Now on to the food! Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. You could tell that whoever is cooking genuinely cares about the food that is coming out of that kitchen. To start we ordered the Spinach Artichoke Dip w/ Garlic Parm Crostini and the Antipasto Salad. (Not pictured) Everything came out in great portions to share and even the crostinis were packed full of flavor which brought the dip up another notch. The salad was fresh, colorful and absolutely delicious. For our entree we both ordered the Steak Frites-cooked medium. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was herby, savory and even had a little bite to it-it was phenomenal. To add to the mix the frites had parm & garlic to make them even tastier To finish, after a very long day- we knew that an affogato would just finish this meal off perfectly and we were right. It was delicious and the candied walnuts were such a nice touch to add for texture. (My husband now has a new favorite dessert) Needless to say we will absolutely be back, and more than likely bringing many others in tow to share an absolutely wonderful meal!

Sasso's has been a family favorite for years, and there's a reason people from all over Connecticut…read moremake the drive. Their appetizers and pizza are legitimately outstanding. The Angry Clams might be one of the best appetizers in the region, and their pizza still delivers every single time. That said, longtime customers can feel the restaurant evolving. Over the last few years, Sasso's has leaned harder into upscale entrees and rotating specials that absolutely look incredible on social media. The presentation is beautiful, the ideas are creative, and the menu clearly aims higher than "pizza place." Unfortunately, some of the entrees don't always land at the same level as the apps and pizza. A few dishes we've tried recently have felt slightly under-seasoned or overcooked considering the premium pricing. The bigger adjustment for us has honestly been the atmosphere and reservation system. Sasso's used to feel like the perfect spontaneous family dinner spot after shopping or being around town. Lately, even with visibly open tables, walk-ins often get turned away because the dining room is reserved out for later seatings. I completely understand the business side of it, but it does change the vibe. It feels less like a casual neighborhood staple and more like a "destination dinner" restaurant now. And with that shift comes pricing. Last night, our family of four spent around $250 without alcohol. We shared wings, Angry Clams, salad, pizza, and a couple mid-range entrees for the boys. That's not outrageous in today's world, but it definitely puts Sasso's into the same conversation as some of the more traditional upscale Italian spots nearby. The difference is that those places specialize in elevated entrees, while Sasso's still shines brightest with what made people fall in love with it in the first place: apps and pizza. Service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive all night. The kitchen pacing, though, felt rushed and a little disconnected. Clams and salad arrived first, then pizza and entrees hit the table together, followed by the wings afterward. It gave the meal a "turn the table quickly" feeling, even though much of the restaurant was empty by 7 PM Sunday night. All of this said, we'll absolutely keep coming back...just less frequently. We still love Sasso's. We've simply learned that the move is to make the reservation, order the appetizers and pizza, and enjoy the things they truly do better than almost anyone around.

The staff is very nice, greeting guests kindly as they walked in. We had to wait about 20 min, which is expected on a Friday evening. That said - being a restaurant, we'd have preferred to have a real service experience vs ordering at the counter & getting a number, which felt more like a food court. All up- The place is nice, pizzas are delicious, and the staff very friendly. All up a good experience - highly recommend!

I reviewed La Cucina on another thread and my rating hasn't changed. Three stars, and here's why…read more The crust is the star of the show. As a matter of fact, the crust is so good that the toppings aren't needed. Moreover, the tomato sauce is outrageously good and it hits all the right notes on my palate. The sausage was really tasty too. Overall, this pie was outstanding. Now the flip, this pizza is missing that authentic cheese pull. The motz has zero pull, and that's disappointing. I'm willing to bet that La Cucina uses frozen motz on their pies, which may be contributing to the lack or should I say "nonexistent elasticity aka cheese pull." With that said, To be fair... the lack of cheese pull was the deal breaker for me. 3 stars, that's a review.

They bake everything in house, with specials on some days (e.g. Sweet Bun Sunday). The selection is vast, especially considering that everything is scratch made in-house. Aromas are enticing! We picked up an orange cranberry dream bar, studded with plenty of white chocolate chips, coconut, and dried cranberries, topped with orange cream cheese frosting and more dried cranberries. It was *enormous* and easily served as dessert for four. Also in our order: a streusel topped blueberry cake, as moist as could be and filled with fresh blueberries. It was also generously proportioned, large enough for at least two. We didn't try any salads, breakfast platters, or sandwiches on this visit, but they looked fantastic, based on what I saw on other customers' plates. I found that the super friendly owners are of Lebanese descent when I asked about the Lebanese baklava at checkout -- and evidently, they sometimes have Lebanese meat pies on offer! I cannot wait to come back to try every Lebanese food item they have, since my family is passionately fond of the cuisine (and really, everything else, too). I had no idea such riches could be found in Torrington! You can't throw a rock without hitting an Italian-American in this town -- not that I would ever throw a rock at an Italian-American :) -- but this is the first I've heard of a Lebanese-American contingent in these parts. I'm so glad Yelp led me here!
