    Chicken parmigiana

    Why has it taken us so long to visit Nostrano's? This is what I asked myself and my family after our wonderful Saturday night meal here. We made reservations the day of and good thing as it was a busy evening! They have a wide range of cocktails to start with and I was ecstatic when I saw a Pisco sour on their menu. Love this drink and they did it perfectly! We started with arancini and meatballs for appetizers. Then for dinner had pasta dishes. Kids loved their meals and raved about the sauce. I was in heaven with my pappardelle pasta dish- it was melt in your mouth good. There is no doubt since we live locally that we will not be back. Wonderful meal- question is will I get something new next time or repeat my divine dish? TBD.....

    Another great dinner ! Service was on point food was amazing. Even made my son a mussels pot when it wasn't even in the menu.

    skimpy Caesar in a chipped bowl

    Wow, we were looking for fun and easy and found lousy. Glasses on the table when we arrived were covered with greasy fingerprints - we should have left then. Appetisers were fine, both fried (calamari and artichokes) and were rushed out of the frier (done, but barely done). One of the entrees was basically inedible (pasta was rubbery like a weird science experiment gone wrong and sitting in a greasy pool of sauce). Caesar salad had no more than 5 semi soggy croutons and was tiny in a chipped bowl. Ravioli entree had 7 ravioli, which seemed skimpy. Waiter was barely present, I don't know how many tables he had, but the place was only 1/3 full, the wait staff did not seem rushed, just not present. We sat with no water for much of the dinner and had to wait too long for our check.

    Eggplant parm with angel hair pasta.

    Food , service, vibe, all awesome! We started with the most tender fried calamari I have ever eaten and a side of fried artichokes topped with a lemon ailoi. My husband had a twist on chicken parm, topped with gnocci that were like pillows. I have never had gnocci so light. I had eggplant parm and it was unreal. The sauce was flavorful, the eggplant was thin, not bitter at all. The bread was warm and light, even the olive oil on the table was top notch. I had a glass of house chardonnay with dinner, I don't know who's it was, but it was tasty! Even the music was upbeat and nostalgic. This is my third time there and it's always been perfect. I can't wait to explore more of the menu!

    This is what the restaurant responded to my review .... See pics attached Says a lot and now because of your unprofessionalism I will share not only with everyone I know but also look for the review on Google! Considering we are in the food industry ourselves not sure how helpful that would be to your business - how unfortunate you couldn't just be like Elsa and Let it Go!

    Not sure why we waited so long to try this gem, but we will definitely be back! service, drinks, and food were top notch! The burrata was the best that we have had in the area. I enjoy the two different atmosphere choices between the dining room and the bar. We were offered a high top with the kids and it was great. Our drinks are were aways full and the table was regularly bussed. The only down part was the kids weren't impressed with the options they had but this will be a future date night spot for us.

    Ok I've been looking for a good Italian restaurant by me and I think I've found the one!! Everything I ordered here from start to end was magnificent! Started with aracini, calamari, and meatballs as appetizers - amazing! Then my entree was a pasta that had chicken and sausages and mushrooms (forgot the name) - also amazing! The entree came in a huge serving so I ended up having a lot of leftovers. One thing I did wish they offered was some bread some sort in the beginning, thought most Italian spots did that but not here I guess. :( But I still enjoyed my meal and would come back!

    Is their pork in the sausage or the bolonase?

    My wife and I were at a distillery in Roxbury. We live in Danbury. I was looking for a quality food…read morespot in between and newtown came to mind. So, knowing that Sugo existed, I immediately routed us to their location, as this is a place that's been on my list of places to try. Short view? Everything started great. But did not follow through. The service was awesome. Our waitress, and forgive me as I cannot remember her name, was amazing. When we arrived we observed her interactions with her child and it automatically endeared her to us. And, as a server she was absolutely top notch. We understand from conversations, that she often works the bar. Either way she is awesome and the bright spot of our experience. The ambiance of the place was beautiful. Super refined looking, albeit with uncomfortable chairs at the tables. But I'm not looking for "comfort" per se, I'm looking for beauty. And this spot hits the mark. The we began ordering. Off the cocktail menu, I ordered their version of a pina colada and it was tasty af but definitely weak. My wife ordered a dirty martini with bleu cheese olives that she felt was weak. After those, we each ordered French martinis, that were super lacking in all flavor save for vodka. So strong, a bonus, but not good. As an app, we ordered their calamari which I order everywhere we go. This one lived up to the standard. Nice, big, meaty pieces of squid. A good breading, and a decent (if not underwhelming) sauce. I ordered their version carbonara as a main, and it was likewise, underwhelming. It was over buttered and over creamed. Which, if one knows anything about a traditional carbonara, it involves neither butter nor cream. I get that this is a gastropub and as such they will take liberty with ingredients and traditions; however, if I can make a better one at home... what's the point? My wife ordered the seafood grill which included branzino and shrimp. The branzino was delicious (but slightly over), but the shrimp stopped everything. The shrimp was rotten. On the plate it smelled like an unclean barn. I will say, we had to bring this issue to the attention of our server, and she kindly and appropriately comped our latter two drinks as a result. This made us happy as the drinks comped over the price of the plate, however, the smell is one that stays with us. Even at the time of this writing. We finished up our meal. I took home most of my carbonara as I felt confident I could make it taste good at home, but that's not the point of dining out. If and when I spend this type of money on food, I expect it to be right. This experience was not right. And if it weren't for the server, this review would be a 2 star.

A stone fireplace anchors the space while low, ambient lighting, wood tables, and leather seating create an intimate, inviting atmosphere. I was excited to learn that the bar featured Misguided Spirits' Howe & Hummel vodka from New York City. Stirred, it produced a martini with a subtle sweetness and a hint of cracked pepper, served in a classic cocktail glass with an angular bowl and slender stem. The design felt timeless, keeping the drink chilled while offering a crisp, polished presentation, with the Castelvetrano olives taking center stage. When it comes to the food, I have no notes. The wings were perfectly seasoned, with meat that fell off the bone; the Bibb salad was fresh and dressed beautifully with house lemon oil; and the thin, crispy pizza lived up to its name, with bright sauce and fresh toppings. This is a spot you won't want to leave and one you'll be eager to return to, familiar, fun, and full of character.

Unassuming from the outside, this local treasure opens into a cozy restaurant and event space with exceptional food and drink. Between the crackling fireplace, plush lounge seating, warm wood accents, sleek bar, and navy banquettes, the atmosphere feels both inviting and refined. The bartenders and entire staff were warm, polished, and genuinely attentive, creating an experience centered around the guest. My martini was aggressively shaken and served in a short coupe, topped with a delicate layer of ice crystals; despite the chill, the vodka-to-vermouth ratio was perfectly balanced. It was garnished with stellar Castelvetrano olives, freshly opened and proudly presented as an elevated touch to the classic cocktail. As for the fare, it was hands down one of the best meals I've enjoyed in quite some time. The Wagyu coulotte was cooked to perfection, accompanied by expertly prepared oyster mushrooms and crisp shoestring tallow fries. I could go on and on about the experience, but I'll simply say I can't wait to return. The thoughtful details and genuine hospitality made for an outstanding night out.
