I never have had eggplant in this style. I'm just disappointed because it was not what I ordered according to the photo. I wanted sauce, basil and cheese as well as eggpla

Highly recommended by a friend. Attractive space, inviting menu. Ordered Duck Ragu with Bigoli,…read moreclassic Venetian dish with shredded duck legs, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, tomato, white wine. Not here. Ground duck that tasted more like ground turkey. No discernable carrots, celery, wine, tomato. Just seemed like ground meet fried in lots of oil mixed with the pasta, as bland as you could possibly make this delicious dish.

Came here Saturday to meet some friends. We had reservations and I would definitely recommend…read moremaking them, at least on weekends. It's a lovely place and one of the few Italian restaurants that looks like it actually might be in Italy. There's a large covered outside area and I would recommend sitting out there if the weather is nice. Crowd is generally on the older side. The wine list is pretty good. The menu isn't huge but there's lots of good things on there. I had the salad and calamari app and both were good. I had the chicken parm with eggplant and enjoyed it. Everyone was happy with their dinner so that was good. Service was efficient and prices fair considering quality, quantity and location. If you're looking for a nice Italian place in the area that's not too expense this is a good choice

My family took me here to celebrate my birthday, and it was a great choice for a special occasion…read more We went early evening, before the dinner rush. Although a few large parties were happening, it felt comfortably busy without being loud. Parking was easy with their lot. The décor is elegant, and the beautifully lit bottle display behind the bar really stands out. We sat in the main dining room and could easily hold a conversation. We started with the grilled polpo and ahi tuna tartare -- both excellent. I ordered the T-bone medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The table also had filet mignon, mezzi rigatoni alla vodka with shrimp, and pappardelle bolognese. Sides of Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic-honey glaze and baked spinach au gratin complemented everything nicely. The chocolate soufflé was a sweet finish. Portions were satisfying without being overwhelming. Bathrooms were very clean, though the entryway floor was a bit slippery. Overall, I'd absolutely return and recommend it for a special night out.

Forgive me, I didn't take pictures!…read more 10/10 would recommend and would come back again and again! We went here for a late night date and it did NOT disappoint. The tortellini special was spectacular, the rigatoni with bolognese was the best we've ever had, and all of the pasta is handmade! The olives and grilled bread are an elite pairing for an appetizer. The portion sizes are perfect, you leave feeling very satisfied as they are not huge plates. We had the olive oil cake for dessert and it was just as it should be! We sat at the bar and received top notch service. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Food great but, to start. The hosts are standoffish…read more The cocktails are decent but nothing to write home (or here) about. I appreciate the upkeep on water, but I'd like to have a bit of my time uninterrupted, as it seems my table is being turned for the next patron. Lastly, the clown show behind the bar needs to ease up on the hard-pressed Italian stereotype. Chomping your gum isn't a good look either. We get enough ASMR thrusted at us via phone/vid always. Do better.

You're served by the wife of chef who's welcoming and motherly. The food is excellent, truly! Everything was clearly made with care. The pasta is home made.

What an excellent dining experience. I highly recommend you make reservations because the inside…read moredining room is very small and you May have a long wait if you don't make a reservation. For starters we had the fig and prosciutto appetizers. It was so good, highly recommend. For our entrees i had the veal chop served with mixed veggies. I absolutely loved my dish, the chop was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. My girlfriend had the chicken scarpariello served with polenta. Our meals were so good, we totally loved our experience. The service was excellent, various servers checking up on us but not overbearing. We will definitely go back to try other items.

Had a great lunch at Zucca Gastrobar in Westport…read more We started with bread, then moved on to the crab cakes appetizer, made with jumbo lump crab and served over a jalapeño aioli with mixed greens. Fresh, light, and just the right amount of kick. The eggplant rollatini, filled with ricotta, mozzarella, parmigiano, spinach, and pomodoro sauce, was super comforting and packed with flavor. For mains, the homemade lasagna really delivered. House-made pasta layered with rich bolognese and creamy béchamel, topped with parmesan and fontina. It was hearty without feeling too heavy. Portions were generous, the food was consistently excellent, and the service was warm and attentive. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

This used to be the Tarry Lodge. This new gastro bar is interesting…read more PARKING - as before there are a few spots so generally limited. Two spots were taken away to enable outdoor seating ENTRANCE - it is early so the bar tender quickly greeted us and took us to a table. Actually we are the only ones here. MENU - lots of categories and definitely gastro pub geared but other than the appetizers it's 100% an Italian offering The layout of the menu is like a restaurant ECCO in Trumbull. SERVICE - we came early so we got the pleasure of the bartender and the waitress serving us. Must have to do with the splits on tips LOL BATHROOM - very nice and very clean. There are two in the back that are both unisex, just so u know MUSIC - have to add a note here. The sound system features some older but popular songs but the spin is an unknown to me artist that makes her own spin on the songs. Pretty good but I'm no expert APPETIZERS - I tried the crab cakes as a comparison to other places. Their plate used lump crab with very light breading that was Great! I've had better sauces with crab cakes but the small greens that came with it were the bomb to say the least ENTREES - my wife had the gluten free pizza with the short rib toppings. Although a little overcooked it was very good. I had the chicken scarpillio that was excellent. What I enjoyed was that for the red hot peppers they infused the heat in the sauce with very few small shavings of red pepper for texture. The chicken was different as well with a crispy skin coating as opposed to cooked in the sauce. Mikey liked it! DESERT - didn't engulfed so let me know what u think LOL PRICE - if there is a rub this is it. For two people with a couple of drinks the damage was $134 and with a decent tip $162.

Osteria Romana has been a goto of mine for years. Stopped going a few years back because my wife…read morewasn't interested in trying it. Fast forward to last week and she was interested. Nothing bad to say. Service excellent, Food impeccable. I decided not to have my goto, chicken marsala. Instead, I got the veal scarpariello, turns out they combined their marsala sauce with a scarpariello. I've nothing bad to say, the veal, the sausage, the cherry peppers were excellent. My wife got the trout almondine. Perfectly cooked, melted in your mouth. And let us not forget the potatoes. Both of us couldn't stop taking about the potatoes. Sad to see the vespa gone, but it's still a cozy and charming place even without it. Needless to say, we will be coming back

Staff is very friendly, pleasant and accommodating. Rizzutos is one of the few places (3 in my area) around Connecticut that does igloos for the winter and then canopy tents in the summer! This is great if you're looking for that added privacy and special touch to your dining experience. The inside is also lovely as you'll be able to dine by a wonderful fireplace that definitely feels amazing during these cold northeast winters. One recent addition that I think is amazing and what brought me in this last time is their seasonal four-course menus! For like $30 you get a four course meal! Such a great price for the experience. The portions are samplings so not TOO large portions but with the amount of courses you will get comfortably full.

Tested like dishwasher water. could not drink it. The avocado toast consisted of two small thin whole wheat toast slices with the thinnest spread of avocado over the top. And two poached eggs over that. Pathetically small for the price. I was starving so i ate it. The salad was also absurdly small on a tiny plate. To boot, the live music was awful. The singer could not sing AT ALL and it was like listening to chalk on a blackboard. couldnt wait to get outta there. sadly this place has gone way downhill. will never be back.
