Outstanding Experience at Taíno Prime…read more Taíno Prime delivers excellence on every level. The service was outstanding and the food was absolutely excellent--flavorful, beautifully prepared, and consistently impressive. The location is also a huge plus, with easy access from all parts of Connecticut. They are especially wonderful to work with for events--professional, flexible, and truly accommodating. Lisa, the banquet manager, personally called to discuss event details and provided truly upscale, attentive service, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. A special shout-out as well to Chris, the owner, for running such a top-notch establishment. Highly recommend Taíno Prime for both dining and special events.

We sat in a booth and our food came out fast. I loved that there were four kinds of bbq sauces to choose from. The house was my favorite the Jamaican and heat/Spicy were too hot for me. We both selected two meat plates with brisket and burnt ends. Both were good but the burnt ends were the best. The cornbread side was delicious and the Mac in cheese was a HUGE hit probably our fave side of the 4 we tried. The coleslaw and potato salad were also good. I'd eat here again if in the area for a concert. The place was comfortable with booths and tables and quick counter ordering and paying. It was a good find and I'd definitely come back.

The BBQ bacon sun was blasted with bacon and drowning in cheese, with a nice sweet BBQ sauce holding it all together. If your looking for a Philly cheese steak in CT... this is THE Place.

I think I ordered online for takeout and my order was ready within a reasonable time. I ordered a large chicken pesto specialty pizza and a small specialty pizza with standard pizza mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, and piped ricotta. I also ordered a penne all vodka and chicken cutlet. The crust on both pizzas was very good. Good char. A good mix of crispy and chewy. The chicken pesto pizza was terrific. It has chicken cutlet slices, pesto, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and ricotta. Really every part of this pizza was great. Highly recommend. I ordered the 3 cheeses specialty pizza almost out of curiosity, because I've never seen anybody go all in on those cheeses like that. The good news is, that within that pizza, were the components of a very good pizza. The blend of these cheeses didn't completely work for me flavor-wise though. Also, these cheeses produced a bit too much grease. I'd order just the sauce and standard mozzarella next time and I bet it would be very good. The penna alla vodka was a chunky sauce version. The noticeable chunks were mostly onions. I'm used to more of a blended version. I respect that this dish has its own vibe, but I personally prefer a blended version. The sauce flavor was good. The chicken cutlet was very good. I bet they make a great chicken parm. Service was friendly and efficient. Apizza Heaven won't win any beauty contests. The inside is functional. There were a few tables. The outside could use some attention. There were a few random things around the general area. I definitely noticed them when I was walking in. I think people would have a better first impression if those details are taken care of. Overall, I'd rate my experience 4.25 Stars. But I could definitely see getting up to 4.5 or 4.75 on future visits.
