    Loved the Mediterranean salad and truffle fries w/o cheese. We are fully plant-based and found the ingredients to be very fresh and yummy. Wish they would carry plant based cheese so we could have their pizzas. Please add it! We will be back to try it. I'd like to suggest Follow Your Heart or Chao cheese! Thanks!

    Wild New England

    Was looking for a pizza place in town that had wood fire pizza ovens with thicker crust. This place is awesome! The pizza was delicious, we had the mushroom pizza (New England) I think? And then we had the fried calamari and the crispy cauliflower, which was my favorite! It's not a huge restaurant though, it's smaller but they do have a patio as well. The service was friendly and quick. We will definitely come back again when we are in town!

    Not just giving five stars because the place down the street was horrendous and we were starving! Haha The service was amazing, the environment was welcoming, the food was comforting and delicious and the drinks were perfect and ice cold (95° outside). Can't say enough about our waitress who made great suggestions!! We will definitely be frequenting this spot!

    We had such a perfect dinner at Locali this past weekend! Although the weather is obviously getting cold, we were still able to sit outside given their setup. They have a lot of heaters, so that the cold actually doesn't feel that bad! Especially with a glass of wine, you definitely won't feel it at all! The staff that we encountered here were definitely some of the nicest people! My husband and I arrived early to meet up with a friend for dinner, and they were super accommodating to let us wait for her. We were treated so well the entire time, the waiters are super sweet and attentive. Started out with some shishito peppers; I really love the seasoning that they put on them! I'm really surprised how delicious they can make just regular peppers. For our two other appetizers, we got the crispy brussels sprouts and the beet salad. Whatever they did to the Brussels sprouts, it's pretty magical! In terms of pizzas, the Snake Oil is a must! Sweet and spicy always work so well together on a pizza (just think hot honey)! It's such a great blend of ingredients: san marzano tomatoes, capicola, fior di latte, pecorino, garlic, sriracha, honey and scallions! I also got the Vegan Impossible Bolognese which was pretty legit. If you didn't tell me, I would never have known that this dish is vegan!

    Love the food & atmosphere here! A friend and I decided to go for dinner one day and I am glad we called ahead for reservations, because they weren't allowing walk-ins at the time due to limited seating. Although we eventually got seated, we did have to stand around and wait for quite a bit because it didn't seem like they had enough people working. There were only two main people I saw who were hosting, serving, running food, as well as managing take out orders and phone calls. This was odd especially since it was a pretty busy night. But the outside dining area was nicely decorated and spaced. The place is definitely a little overpriced for some items, but overall the food was good. I got the Charred House Pizza which had nice caramelized onions on top, but it could've used more because the overall pizza was pretty plain. I was pleasantly surprised by the bolognese. It was pretty oily but it was a great portion, had lots of meat, and was flavorful! I'd definitely come here again for the pasta, and to try other menu items.

    Yellowjacket nibbling on the sausage of the spicy old school pizza. Great food and service otherwise!
    Sophia L.

    Came here today and enjoyed the salad and lemon shrimp pappardelle with my hubby, 8 mos baby and MIL. Pizza crust for the old school was a little soft for our liking, but service was excellent. We decided to dine outside since the weather was beautiful. Apparently, so did the aggressive yellowjacket that kept hovering over our table and insisted on nibbling on the sausage. We ate quickly and left in order not to get stung. I read that these insects feed on meat to feed their young.

    Gluten Free Queen Margherita with burrata and pepperoni
    Kai R.

    Ordered gluten free pizza with pepperoni and burrata via Door Dash tonight. So grateful that the restaurant offers gluten free crust, since not all restaurants do. Not knocking off stars for the pizza being freezing cold, because I feel like with delivery that's kind of standard. Knocking off stars because the crust was very strange - the taste was good, but the texture was like a fluffy spongey cloud (not in a good way). The toppings and sauce made the crust soggy and wet, which when combined with the cold temperature made the pizza unpleasant to eat. Too bad the crust isn't crispy and thin, and hope that they change the crust for the future. Will have to go into the restaurant next time to try other entrees.

    Small Cheese Pizza. Mostly crust and bread. Lacks cheese

    Ordered for pickup and the pizzas were so small and expensive for the size. Mostly crust and lacked cheese coverage. Sauce tasted good but just super overpriced. Very chewy and breast crust, which is 80% of the pizza.

We were seated next to 2 tables. One was a bunch of moms hanging out and having many drinks and their children at another table. Both tables were obnoxiously loud. The kids were Constantly up and down, bumping into my mom's chair, they were all over the restaurant, screaming in my mom's ear. My moms asked them nicely a few times to not scream in her ear. Eventually they sat back down after the waiter said something. But they sat ON the table and couldn't sit still. Totally get that they're kids, but at some point management should have said something before we asked.. Anyway, that's not really the restaurants fault. It just made for an unpleasant experience for our party. Our server was friendly and attentive, Our food was good, portions were good: Everything tasted fresh. My only gripe is that it's very loud and I feel like management should ask parents to control kids that are ruining it for others.

We take a look at the menu and my daughters notice a soft-shell crab on the specials - for a mere $39.95 it came on a whole bed of wilted spinach. we order the clam oregata and a seafood risotto for ourselves. The clams and risotto were very good, but the crab was appalling, I wish I took a picture. It was a skimpy crab with literally maybe 2-3 teaspoons of meat in it, no exaggeration. The owners actually came over to ask how everything was, and when we told them about the crab and the fact that there wasn't any meat in it they just said "well, it's a whole crab" and walked away. I was really confused. I don't know whether they overcooked it (likely) or if it was caught too late, either way no apology whatsoever from them. m The shell had the consistency of hard shrimp skin, not something easy to chew like it should have been. One clam app, one risotto and the crab were $125 And I had to make my daughters dinner once I got home. I don't think I will be returning, there are plenty of better restaurants in the area.. what a shame.

    After attending an event in the tri-state region, I decided to stop off for a late night dinner…read moresomeplace in Fairfield County on the long night drive back home. After exiting off the "always under construction" Merritt Pkwy (CT 15), I headed into the downtown area of New Canaan and decided on Lombardi's Ristorante & Bar, which opened recently in the former Papyrus space. This Italian restaurant and bar offers and cozy modern atmosphere with table seating along the right wall and a full bar with seating along the left side. They do have a dress code here including no hats, no hoodies, no sweatpants. The food offerings include a selection of crafted homemade pasta dishes, meat & seafood dishes, appetizers, salads, cheese & meat samplers, and dessert. The pricing is on the higher side and food is prepared to order. The bar serves beer, wine, and cocktails. I also called the restaurant to make sure they were open after 9 pm, when I would be passing through. I arrived here around 9:15pm, which was the perfect time when things weren't too busy. I left my cap in the vehicle and entered Lombardi's and took a seat at the bar. The bartender gave me a menu to look at and offered water. I decided on a starter, but the bartender helped me decide on an entrée. For a starter, the Frittatina Napoletana ($18 plus tax), which was a fried pasta fritter filled with linguine noodles, peas & ham in a cream sauce and topped with a white sauce. For an entrée, the Cavatelli Rossi Al Ragu Bianco ($30 plus tax), very firm hand rolled pasta curls, in a white veal ragu with dehydrated tomato dust & parmigiano fondue. Both the starter and entrée were fantastic choices with good hearty flavors. After I was done, I passed on dessert and got the check with Toast QR code which was $51.52 with tax and before tip. Overall, I enjoyed some great well prepared Italian dishes, nicely presented. The service was very good here. The bartender was able to keep an eye on things, offering water & drinks, making suggestions and also chatting about life. The food runners brought me the starter and entrée in timely order. I would definitely recommend Lombardi's for a date night, special occasion, or just wanting to enjoy some great food.
