Hubby needed his perennial favorite ramen - the spicy tonkotsu: pork broth, kakuni, mushroom, menma & ajitama. It was packed with flavor & just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for another bite. While I really was there for dessert, I could not pass up the hot oil fish carpaccio appetizer: delicately seared salmon with yuzu soy, ginger, garlic & micro cilantro. Delicate & delicious. The citrus pavlova is a thing of beauty! Pink peppercorn meringue, passion yuzu curd, mango gel, coconut croutons, creme fraiche chantilly. It is crunchy & ethereal, it is sweet & sour, it is bitter & fresh. Perfection in every bite! Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

We were pretty excited to dine at this famed Iron Chef restaurant, but unfortunately, we left with…read morevery mixed feelings. The food was mediocre, the service was subpar, and the overall experience did not live up to what we expected from a fancy dining establishment. We came in during an off-peak hour on a weekday, so we were seated right away. However, the service was very slow. Our waitress took about 15 minutes to bring us the menu or even start attending to our table, even though he was only serving one other table at the time. We ordered chicken karaage and popcorn shrimp as appetizers, and both were very tasty. For the main course, we ordered ramen, All-Star Ramen, an eel roll, a soft-shell crab roll, and spicy Dan Dan noodles. Overall, the food was just okay. The noodles and sushi tasted fine, but nothing was particularly special or memorable. Unfortunately, we also had an unpleasant experience with our order. The waitress messed up our spicy Dan Dan noodle order and served us spicy tonkotsu ramen instead. After another 15 minutes, they were able to bring out the spicy Dan Dan noodles. However, the noodles were extremely tough and practically inedible. When we asked the waitress about the issue with the noodles, she became defensive and seemed to imply that the problem was on our end. He explained that the noodles were tough because they were not served with soup. Huh? Anyone familiar with cooking knows that noodles being excessively hard is usually a sign that they are undercooked, not because they aren't served with soup. Overall, we really wanted to like this place, but the mediocre food and disappointing service made the experience difficult to recommend. Given its reputation and the expectations that come with a famed Iron Chef restaurant, we expected much more.

Its right on the corner of Chapel and Olive. We walked from our hotel, so parking was not an issue for us. The minute we walked in, we loved the place. We were warmy greeted and the hostess said she recognized my handsome dining partner. Well, come to find out, the hostess is the partner in this wonderful restaurant with Chef Roland. We met them both before as we had frequented a Norwalk restaurant run by them that we loved and that sadly closed down sometime ago. They opened this spot in New Haven about 1 year ago. Lovely European vibe to the whole setting and menu. Open kitchen. Delicous offerings. We ordered the eggs Benedict with a croissant in place of the English Muffin. I was so happy they were able to accomodate this request. Also a full legitimate English Breakfast! Amazing. A moctail and a pot of loose leaf black tea. All was outstanding! Outstanding! The service was top notch and we never felt rushed. They have daily themed specials in addition to their regular menu offerings. Beatiful bar area. We are so happy to have found them and will be returning often! We highly recommend!

Arrived 5 minutes later than the estimated pick up time and was told it wasn't ready yet. The inside of the place is a little of a cleaned up improvement from when it was Farina's, but similar layout. The small pizza was basic/decent and hence the 2 stars. The chicken tenders were not tenders, they were dry sliced up chicken cutlets. The chicken parm sub....real bad. It gets it's own paragraph. The breaded coating fell off of the chicken before even taking a bite. The chicken itself was rubbery, maybe because it was frozen? Or did it need to cook longer? About 90% of the mozzarella cheese was stuck on the wrapper. The sauce left something to be desired. An inch of two of the sandwich on one end didn't even have any filling in it. For the three items, the total was about $40. Thumbs down.

They…read morewere actually very good tasting but I found it a little hard to eat, they kept breaking but they're nachos I guess. Onto my meal, I got the filet taco, boom shrimp taco, and the hot honey chicken. They were all so delicious and yummy, I can tell they took their time creating each taco into a masterpiece. I loved the boom shrimp the most, then the hot honey, and then the filet taco the least, but all of these were so delicious I loved it! The boom shrimp is a delicious trip into the savory tastes of shrimp and the sea. I loved the addition of tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and avocados, drizzled in ranch. The filet taco is a great feast of filet steak and crispy crunchy onions. Lastly the hot honey chicken was great with purple lettuce, corn, pickles, and more fresh delicious veggies. I loved all the tacos so much and if I come back to the area I'd definitely come back, a must go to! Service/ambiance: First off the waiters came to us quickly with a nice refreshing water pitcher with lemons. It was a nice day out but not too hot, inside was nice and cool with the ac but not too cold, a nice balance. Not too loud of a place but nice and chill with a light speaker with music playing in the background. This in my opinion is a huge upgrade to the last location in Northport, this is much bigger and it looks cleaner. Something that stood out to me was that there was no men's sign on the bathroom, but there was on the ladies. I don't know if they're discriminated or something, but that was something, but besides that the bathrooms were very squeaky clean.

From the moment we walked in, Jaime, who was working behind the bar, made us feel genuinely welcome. He was kind, personable, and attentive in a way that's becoming increasingly rare. He even brewed fresh iced tea from scratch with tea bags and hot water while we waited. It's the little things that leave a lasting impression. And somehow, even the club soda tasted exceptional; maybe because everything about the atmosphere felt intentional and welcoming. I ordered the burger, and although they were out of gluten-free buns, they happily served it over their gluten-free penne pasta instead. It was such a thoughtful accommodation. Ironically, because my day in pharmaceutical sales became so busy, I never had a chance to eat my lunch. I brought it home, reheated it that evening, and that's when something unexpected happened. The very first bite of their homemade sauce stopped me in my tracks. Instantly, I was transported back to my grandfather's kitchen. I haven't tasted a sauce that reminded me of his in over 15 years. For a moment, I wasn't sitting at my own table; I was back with him. I found myself slowing down, savoring every bite, grateful for a memory I didn't know a meal could bring back. Great restaurants don't just serve food. They create experiences, care for people, and sometimes awaken memories you thought were gone forever. Thank you, Jaime, and thank you to everyone at Ritrovo. You turned an ordinary workday into something I'll remember for a very long time. I'll absolutely be back.

I have read good reviews about the place and it is unique in that it is Yemeni/Mediterranean. I did take out and chose the following: Okra Stew, Chicken Shawarma Over Rice Platter, and a slice of the Pistachio cake. The Okra Stew was very flavorful. I do not eat okra but my husband does, yet I tried the sauce and it was really tasty. I ended up eating a few pieces of the potatoes and carrots in the stew, just to enjoy the sauce. The Chicken Shawarma was okay--not my best order. The chicken is not dry yet the rice was very greasy for my taste. Every spoonful, I could taste the grease. It was not for me. The pistachio cake is delicate and scrumptious. Not too sweet. I might go back and try another dish but would make sure to ask that the rice not be greasy.
