I had high hopes for Andiamo, but sadly was extremely disappointed. I am new to the Mystic area and…read moreseeing that this restaurant rated so highly I was excited to order some takeout with my daughter after moving some things into our new apartment. Ordering was very easy online, even though the prices seemed a bit high. We ordered $109 worth of food...Arancini ($16), garlic bread with cheese($16), Penne al Vodka with sautéed chicken($32), and the Alfredo with chicken cutlet($38). I was expecting a lot for prices like these. The Arancini were 5 pieces the size of golf balls and the flavor was ok, not worth $16, out garlic bread with cheese ($16) was left out of our order, the penne vodka with sautéed chicken ($32) was dry and there were 5 small pieces of chicken, and the baked penne chicken Alfredo had broken sauce, full of grease and almost inedible...I threw out most of it. I expected so much more from this establishment. The parking lot was packed and parking just to get takeout was challenging, but the food and prices were amazingly disappointing. We may try their pizza to see if that is any better, but I would not recommend the pasta dishes. I can see charging g prices like that if the pasta was homemade, but even that is a stretch. 3 stars is generous

We arrive about 45 minutes from the restaurant closing. Not only did we not feel rushed at all, the server who attended to us greeted us like we were the first patrons of the day. She had a huge smile and was very pleasant. The food was outstanding. I had shrimp scampi at it was the best shrimp scampi I have ever eaten. The capers on the dish added a very vibrant flavor. Such a nice compliment to the main flavors. My partner orded a vegetable penne dish but substuted capalini for the penne. The dish was rich and flavorful. She had a glass of Pino Noir. The wine was delicious. Although the restaurant has no windows the murals on the wall really made you feel like you were in Italy. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

I was really looking forward to some delicious, juicy sea scallops. My friend ordered the Veal Parmesan for $34.95. It wasn't TOTALLY burnt to a crisp, but almost. The service was extremely slow. It was almost 45 minutes between ordering and receiving our food. It was one of the worst meal experiences we've ever had anywhere. However, the waiter was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was very nice. There is indoor and outdoor patio seating. It was our first time to try Buon Appetito Ristorante & Pizzeria in North Stonington. We would mostly likely not go back.

Since their website suggests reservations, I guess I assumed it's a fancy date spot. It's not. It's one big room with tables along the perimeter, and every time the door opened, we were hit with a blast of cold air. The bar is located in the same room, with just a low partition separating the areas. The polenta fries were the star of the show; not a trace of grease and served with two dipping sauces. The meals were surprising. We were expecting pasta and received potatoes and vegetables. The chicken piccata was heavily acidic. I like lemon, but this was a bit much. Service was friendly and I guess I'd return if I was in the area, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit again.
