We had a free Friday night and were able to book a reservation the day before. One thing I thought was interesting was after I confirmed by reservation via text I got a message saying a two person party has 90 minutes for their reservations. While it does make sense, I have never heard of that before. When we arrived, the parking lot was full and there were many cars parked along the street. My friend parked while I checked in. They originally had our reservation inside, but I asked if they had outside seats available and they did! The inside looked more of a darker atmosphere with tables close together. The tables outside were a bit close together too. The service was good and the owner was Walking around asking the tables and people how everything was. The food came out quickly and was SO delicious!! I look forward to coming back again. I want to sit around the gorgeous fire pit area next time with some dessert!

I'd honestly give it a 4.5 if that were possible, but since 4 felt too low, I'm rounding up. It was stellar. The spot itself is super quaint, tucked into a charming little rural town that seriously felt like it belonged on a Hallmark movie set. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped us choose our order, which was much appreciated. I went with the classic Italian combo, and it was absolute perfection. Seriously, a sandwich doesn't get better than this. The meat-to-bread ratio was spot on, and the mix of mayo with oil and vinegar added amazing flavor. The bread was just right--chewy enough to have a nice pull, but soft enough that it didn't fall apart or make the sandwich hard to eat. Highly recommend. We also tried the turkey club, which was tasty but not quite as successful due to the ciabatta bread. It was a bit too hard, and the fillings kept sliding out, making it tough to eat. Still, the flavors were great, and I was pleasantly surprised by the mustard. I wasn't expecting it on a club, but it worked well. Overall, would definitely come back!

There are also tables inside. They serve Boars Head, and have several menu boards worth of sandwiches. They also have a deli case, serve soups and a small section of baked goods, and coffee. There is a station to go with the coffee. The New England Clam Chowder (which I took to go) was so thick and had a lot of ingredients mixed in! It was delicious! The bread on my sandwich was fresh, and my dog and I both enthusiastically recommend the turkey. I recommend the brie cheese it came with. The food traveled well, even the spinach.

And they prepared a delicious turkey dinner for us with excellent stuffing and gravy, yams, etc. Gene (the owner) and his employees are really agreeable, knowledgeable and helpful in every way.

The people…read moreat the farm suggested that we go into Litchfield for a variety of eating choices, and they were right! What drew us to di Franco's was the lovely patio out front, with lots of round tables shaded by bright umbrellas. We weren't looking for an Italian meal necessarily, it was lunch on a hot day rather than a leisurely evening dinner, and diFranco's has a pretty decent selection of sandwiches and salads for lunch in addition to the traditional Italian specialties you'd expect. My husband chose the salmon burger and was quite pleasantly surprised that he didn't get a salmon "burger!" He got a nice sized portion of actual grilled salmon on a bun with greens and I think tomato, plus a plate full of thin, crisp, addictive fries! It's on the menu as Cajun but he asked for no Cajun spices, and it says tartar sauce on the sandwich but he asked for that on the side. He said the salmon was really delicious . I ordered the tuna melt with avocado. This came on thinly sliced crisp toast and it was very tasty, if a little wetter than I usually prefer tuna salad. This also came with those wonderful fries; I NEVER finish a whole portion of fries but I ate every single piece today, they were that good. FWIW, I used hub's tartar sauce on the side for dipping my fries (I'm not a ketchup fan). We just had cold water to drink, and the server was gracious even though all we ordered were those sandwiches. We saw ample salads on other tables. The place was busy outside, empty inside, but it was a gorgeous day and the shaded tables were inviting - good for sitting and relaxing a bit, plus people watching! Inside, the restrooms were clean, but more than that they are noteworthy for the handicapped accessibility. I had a cousin whose MS caused her to need a wheelchair and she'd have been pleased with the space and the grab bars. Maybe it's code, but my experience has been that it's rarely this well followed. So if you or someone you dine out with has the need, consider diFranco's for the accessible restrooms as well as the food! Note that they were offering a discount for cash. The dinner menu looked good but I can only vouch for the high quality of the lunch. Try it if you're in or near Litchfield CT.

The servers are absolutely charming (thank you to…read morethe beautiful, jewelry-making Christina), pricing is circa 1995, there's a great children's menu -- and there is clearly some skill in this kitchen, generally. I love that you get unlimited refills on coffee ($2), which was actually quite decent by diner standards. Where else can you find that nowadays?! Eggs were well prepared and fluffy across the board. I loved that my veggie omelet ($8.75) came generously filled with sauteed mushrooms, sweet peppers, and onions. It came with toast and a side of either fruit or home fries. The multigrain, which our server disclosed was from a bakery in NY, was fresh, well slathered with butter, and far better than it had to be as a non-headline component of the meal. Home fries were beautifully seasoned, though I do prefer mine a little more browned. Fruit salad on our visit included a slice of melon, a few grapes and a slice of orange. Our eight year old got a children's meal with one egg, home fries, toast and juice ($4.50). She enjoyed her fluffy scrambled eggs, which she ate sandwiched between two halves of a generously buttered English muffin. My only nitpick: You could taste a touch of margarine in the eggs, which I personally detest. Still, the food was head and shoulders better than (and half as expensive as) anything you can find at Mohawk Mountain, where we are usually resigned to grub. We are so, so thrilled to find this sweet little place a hop and a skip away from the mountain. It's a perfect place to refuel after early morning ski practice!
