Walking in to that aroma of sauce and cheese and fresh basil washes over and after taking that first bite into the delicious combination of New Haven style pizza dough and perfectly seasoned sauce... and cheese - you know you're in a REAL New Haven style Pizza Parlor! Each time we've been there (4 times) since Spring of this year - it's been a great experience from eating 'in' or taking a pie home!! Always worth the trip! The service is always friendly and easygoing and helpful !! Never an issue and every pizza made to order! We had a birthday gathering for our Mom in May... and ordered 4 large pizzas with toppings and each one was better than the last! We had 18 people over and everyone loved the choices! I have always been fussy about pizza dough freshness and crispiness and so far ... Puglia's doesn't disappoint! Try it for yourself!

Place was cute, big, inviting, you can see right into their kitchen. The staff were super friendly and quick to attend to me. The only can say other than the pizza was like 8 out of 10 good, is that the center of the pizza, the crust, was flimsy. Flimsy as well as a bit soggy, esp if you don't eat it fast enough. Maybe, if I ever do go back, I'll order it well-well done? I don't think it should be knocked until tired though, thank you Puglia ! Straight from Italy the owner is so you go and be the judge !

Mercato Restaurant is a popular modern Italian restaurant known for its authentic, chef-driven dishes, vibrant atmosphere, and distinctive twin wood-burning pizza ovens. The restaurant has beautiful decor with indoor and outdoor seating.

Check it out when in the area be sure to visit Southford Falls State Park for pictures of the waterfall and covered bridge especially, during the foliage for nice pictures.

It was very packed in there, I'm glad I made a reservation. It's an open ambiance, semi-dark, handicap friendly since everything is on first floor and they have enough spacing between all tables, and they have outside eating as well. Drinks were wonderful.

Pretty outside seating and the walkway up to front entrance was tastefully decorated for fall. When you enter there is a magnificent bar on your left that had shelving along the wall to the ceiling. Pretty cool!! I was seated at the booth seating along back wall and it was adorned with fall/Halloween throw pillows in all shapes and sizes. Very nice touch and comfortable. The Pre-Fixe Lunch was delicious (try the Arugula salad...MMMMMMM). The Cocktail list is huge. We had the Senorita...their Margarita. Glass was so cool and delicious. Our server knew we were celebrating my friend's birthday so when our gelato arrived, he lit a candle and sang Happy Birthday. Shout out to Jimmy P for your excellent service and thoughtfulness. All in all, the food, service and ambiance was top notch. I cannot say enough of the decor. Even the bathrooms had a cool vibe. LOL. LOVED the Zebra wallpaper. Can't wait to see how they decorate for Christmas. Whoever decorates is fantastic at it.

Slice Mob made another stop today, this time at Mangia Mi in Sandy Hook…read more What a great afternoon. From the minute we walked in, Chef Rebecca came over and welcomed all of us. You could tell right away this wasn't just another restaurant. It's her place, and she's proud of it. I really liked the vibe. Big open dining room, an open kitchen where you can watch everything being made, and family pictures all over the walls. It just feels comfortable. The pizza is New Haven-style apizza. The tomato pie was excellent. The San Marzano tomatoes really stand out. Nice fresh tomato flavor, a great bake, plenty of crunch, and a finishing dusting of grated cheese that pulled it all together without getting in the way. The cheese pizza was exactly what a cheese pizza should be. Sometimes the simplest pie tells you the most about a pizzeria, and this one didn't disappoint. My favorite was Donnie's Hot Pepper & Mushroom. The peppers brought just enough heat without taking over. The mushrooms added a nice earthy flavor that balanced everything out. Every bite just worked. One thing that stood out was that everything is made from scratch. You can taste it. Nothing felt like it came out of a bag or was rushed. Mangia Mi is the kind of place you leave already thinking about what you're ordering next time. We only scratched the surface today. I definitely want to come back and work my way through more of the pizzas, fresh pastas, seafood, and whatever specials Chef Rebecca is putting together. Thanks to Chef Rebecca and her team for taking such good care of the Slice Mob. We'll be back.

The outdoor seating was perfect on a mild summer night. They offer a solid cocktail list - I had the smoked Manhattan. The menu had a variety of tasty options, many with Italian influences. I went with the diver scallops & risotto, and Dad went with the pork chop scarpariello - both were quite good. Service was timely and friendly.

I would not be able to recommend this restaurant after our one and only experience dining there…read morelast night. My husband and I are in the area for a weekend getaway and wanted to find a nice place for a date night. We chose Vyne after looking at their menu, which appeared elevated and unique. Pros and Cons below but the spark notes are: Nice atmosphere, good service, bad (and expensive) food. Pros: *The atmosphere is nice. Slightly elevated, beautiful decor, very nice bar area, and the outdoor area is a vibe. *Service was good. Our waitress was kind, efficient and helpful. *Our cocktails were great. Delicious, not wildly overpriced, and fresh. Cons and the reason why I could not recommend going to this restaurant: Overall the food was wildly disappointing, especially at this price point. We paid (with tip and 2 cocktails each) $250 for food we couldn't finish it was so poorly cooked and prepared. * Surf & Turf appetizer (24) - interesting and fresh spring flavor but the shrimp (a main component of the dish) was overcooked. * Scallop entree($44)- Scallops were not cooked well. They were very rubbery, chewy and bouncy. I left two on the plate. The flavor profile was also heavily oil. * Side of Mac&Cheese - now, I have NEVER not finished mac&cheese, it's my absolute favorite food and a treat for me to order. This mac&cheese was so bad that we had 2 bites and didn't finish. For a $9.50 side I would expect something interesting. Maybe a baked dish? Or three cheeses? Anything than what we got - which was shell pasta (undercooked) and a cheese sauce (similar to a Velveeta). There was also a strange aftertaste, almost like a spoiled milk. Besides that aftertaste there was absolutely no flavor. * The Filet Mignon ($52) - maybe the most disappointing of all our dishes with a theme of badly cooked and no flavor. Asked for it cooked medium rare and closer to the rare side - it came to us as a solid medium. The steak didn't seem to be seasoned at all. No flavor. The potatoes had no crisp and absolutely no flavor. There was a generic BBQ sauce on the plate. With no salt and pepper on the table (on purpose with the expectation that everything would be flavored perfectly) it made absolutely no sense to finish a dish that we could make better at home. A truly disappointing meal that we couldn't finish, paid $$$$ for and had to stop at fast food on the way home from because we were still so hungry. I don't review often but I needed to because this is an expensive restaurant for what it is, and I want to make sure people know what they're getting into. Maybe we just went on a bad night, but we won't be going back to find out.
