I'm fairly picky when it comes to Italian food, so I tend to have high expectations, but I thought the dish was good. The flavors were good, and the quality of the ingredients came through. My only real criticism would be the price, as it felt a bit expensive for what we received. That said, the overall experience was positive, and I'm glad we gave it a try.

I very rarely eat veal, but I've never heard of this before, and I went with his recommendation. It was also over what was clearly homemade pasta (though they don't even note this on the menu!). You can't imagine how delicious this was from the description. This was a large portion which also came with a big bowl of salad with delicious house dressing and a bowl of "garlic knots"-again, you will not understand what these are like from the description. Fabulous! My husband got pasta carbonara which he always gets. This was different from anywhere-the "bacon" was like a maple Canadian bacon which added a unique, delicious flavor to the homemade "Alfredo" sauce. Maybe the most amazing thing is that my fabulous meal was $28 and my husband's was $20. Oh, you can also bring your own wine with no corking fee. I left a 40% tip which still felt like I was robbing them. I told the owner he really should consider raising his prices by 50%. We may very well go back for the next two nights we're in town. See you there!

Loved the chicken souvlaki platter. Came with delicious Greek salad. And tasty French fries.read more

The food may have been fine, but the customer service completely ruined the experience…read more I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Alfredo, which is clearly listed under the "Entrees" section of the menu. At the top of that section it states: "Entrees served with your choice of baked potato or french fries." Nothing on the menu says pasta dishes are excluded. When I politely asked about the side, instead of simply clarifying the policy, I was spoken to rudely and told that "out of 50,000 people" I was apparently the only person who didn't know how to read the menu. That's not how customers should be treated for asking a reasonable question based on how the menu is written. If pasta dishes are excluded from the side option, then the menu should clearly state that instead of insulting customers for interpreting it exactly how it's written.

Contemporary wood paneled room with a window wall overlooking the river below. Expertly made martinis followed by watermelon beet and feta salad; and wild mushrooms with Parmesan bread crumbs, mint, fried rosemary and whipped ricotta. Both were very tasty expressions of the season. Our table raved over the tagliarini with a local beef, pork and veg ragu and a shellfish version with a spicy puttanesca. The menu changes regularly to highlight the best of the season and local producers. Sometimes it's nice to eat delicious food with no blasting music, at reasonable prices (app/salads: $12-16, most entrees high 20's to $36) just hanging with happy well fed adults enjoying conversation. It would have been 5 stars but for the forgetting of complimentary bread service until we asked for it during the entrees. The bread was mediocre and chewy. Our primary waitperson sort of disappeared for a bit. An evening special of soba noodles with julienne vegetables was really just a bowl of noodles with little evidence of any veggies. Regardless, I've recommended to about 10 people already today and I'll keep doing so!!

A while ago, my wife and I had a positive experience at River Tavern. That experience has endured…read morein our minds through a number of less positive experiences. After a recent disappointing experience at RT with my son and father, I have to accept that the the initial positive experience may be the exception and not the rule. RT is located in Chester Center, which is a top CT town. Top tier location. The restaurant is cute, but cramped. After we were seated, a while passed before we saw our server. We were ready to order for 10 minutes and she still hadn't checked in with us. I told another employee that we wanted to see our server. She shook her head and we waited another 5 minutes. We finally were able to order. Then people who arrived after us, and ordered after us, received food first. Multiple tables. Through multiple service issues, there was no recognition from the employees about the issues. Our primary server asked how things were going when she first checked in with us. I told her the truth. And she didn't seem like she cared. She was apparently hoping that I would just say "good". The food was mixed. My son and I split a burger and an order of chilaquiles. The chilaquiles was good. The burger was medium rare rather than the medium we asked for. The burger was underseasoned. It may not have been seasoned at all. The bottom part of the bun was cut at a weird angle. As the juices flowed from the burger, it soaked the short side of the burger bun so that it was unusable. My Dad said his salad featuring peaches and nuts, barely had any peaches or nuts. I'm unlikely to eat at River Tavern again anytime soon. 2.5 Stars

Another must if you're at Mohegan Sun is Farm Italy, a farm to table restaurant will very pleasing,…read morelowkey atmosphere and outstanding food. There is large tree in the center of the space that immediately makes you feel at ease, as if entering the garden at an Italian villa. The lighting is muted and the interior is tastefully modern with leather chairs and white tablecloths. Our server Corina was very friendly and welcoming, answering our questions and making us feel at ease there. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass as well as bottles. We had Mascarelli montepulciano and Whispering Angel rose, both very good. I also had a Bourbon Peach Smash, a peach-y version of an old-fashioned that was tasty and refreshing. We started with burrata - amazingly fresh creamy mozzarella served with crostini, "cherry bomb" tomatoes and aged balsamic. Great way to start the meal! For our mains, we had chicken parmesan (extremely fresh and tender chicken & mozzarella with a hearty red sauce) ordered with a side of broccolini and their pork chop (grilled, red chimi, fingerling potatoes) - a thick and tender chop that was one of the best I've ever had, and the red chimi added a delightful little zing to it. For dessert, we ordered the affogato (wonderful vanilla gelato drowned with expresso at the table) - wonderfully decadent and delicious.

The complimentary Parmesan cheese they serve you in so darn good, I wanted to eat the whole plate. I opted for their Malfaldine Pasta and it didn't disappoint. However, after trying some of the rigatoni pasta I would definitely order that next time! It was so flavorful and the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The only miss for us were the mussels; on the fishy side and not edible for us. For dessert you must get the affogato!
