    My white pie
    Megan K.

    Finally made it inside, last time I came they had been closed. It's warm and inviting and they have a very clean bathroom. My white pie was tasty, but there's def some red pepper flakes that will wake up your taste buds. Reminds me of naan a bit, actually. My polar espresso drink was good, loved the twist of lemon in it. My friends also enjoyed their pizzas so it was a great time here tonight for sure.

    We've been to Otto multiple times now and we have loved every experience. Lovely staff and space. Great Neapolitan-ish pizza. Has a good char and great chewy dough. We've loved the variety of toppings we've tried. In the warmer month they have a huge outside space under a tent. The indoor space is a little tighter for winter so be mindful, but it's one of our favorite stops in Chester.

    Small but well curated wine list.
    Wine O.

    Amazing! Great server whose name I should remember but didn't. Their recommendation of the meatball pizza was a home run. Sorry we don't snap a picture of that. Eggplant pizza (pictured) was very good, no shortcomings there at all but try e meatball took center stage. Roasted olives for an app were delish. Save room for tiramisu! Wine list is short and to the point, very well curated with plenty of esoteric but approachable wines from smaller producers that compliment the food menu well. Would definitely make time to visit again.

    Pepperoni and shaved steak pizza

    So you've stopped by Little House to grab a beer but now you're hungry, where should you go? Otto of course! Hands down the best pizza in the area but even better when it's just steps away from great beer and ice cream. I'll warn you now - it is HOT in here. You could wear shorts and a t shirt in the middle of winter and still be comfortable by the oven. But I'm not mad about it, watching them make the pizzas adds to the ambiance and appeal of this small pizza shop. And even though it isn't fancy inside don't let that discourage you - the pizza here is anything but cheap! The dough and crust is amazing. The flavors they pack into each bite of the pie is top tier!! I've never tried a pizza here that I didn't like but pepperoni is definitely my go to. So much flavor! Service is great too, very attentive and everything is ready pretty quick - even on a busy Friday night. They give you large containers of water to serve yourself (you'll need it sitting by the fire lol). They have great local beer on tap, mixed drinks, and wine by the bottle. I literally couldn't ask for anything more. Any time I'm in the area I'm stopping at Otto!

    Fennel Salad
    Elisa F.

    Finally down to Chester to try Otto and some other nearby spots! We came down on a beautiful Saturday evening with our dog and was excited to see their tent area was open! Tons of outdoor seating and didn't have to wait very long for a table. They were pretty busy so the service was a bit slow, but we came with the expectation of hanging out so it wasn't a bother to us. We started with the fennel salad which I've never had something like this before and I loved it! You could tell the dressing was made fresh. I could have eaten this as a meal with a little bit if chicken! Definitely my highlight of the night! The pizzas were also so tasty and filling. We got (2) smalls which were 14" - coal fired, charred crust. Wish we got the Margherita after seeing all the pics on here! The Broccoli Rabe & Sausage was my favorite but almost had too many toppings to love it. You can grab some pizzas here and bring them over to Little House Brewery which is what we want to do next visit!

    Small Meat Lovers pizza-delicious!
    Chris S.

    I really enjoyed the pizza Otto makes. I had a small meat lovers and ate the whole thing! (Although I shouldn't have done that in one sitting--carb overload). The dough is really fresh and the ingredients were tasty. It was chock-full of pepperoni, sausage, and fatty bacon pieces. It was surprisingly not as greasy as it sounds. Pizza was thin in the base and a thick, airy crispy crust. We also got a small simple cheese pizza which was great in its own right. Service was friendly, speedy, and attentive. The pizza's came out quite quick at 5pm on a Friday. The place fills up pretty quick, but if you have to wait it is worth it. They serve some great local brews like Deep River's own High Nine, "Hop Glop" which was outstanding.

    Meat lover's pizza
    Steven B.

    Very friendly service, I love servers that come to the table with a smile every time. It was a small, cozy establishment that made you feel at home. We got the meat lover's, veggie lover's, and chorizo pizzas. The meat lover's pizza was voted the best unanimously at our table. I would visit again, just make sure to bring some sort of antacid.

    Back to Bistro to celebrate my wife's birthday. We made a reservation Saturday night. Upon…read morearriving, we were seated promptly, even though we arrived early. We were waited upon shortly after being seated. The dining room is spacious, nicely lit, and the seating at tables is comfortable. We decided to go with all tapas to share. We started with a nicely dressed house salad. Then we ordered and shared grilled shrimp a la plancha, empanadas, chorizo, and lamb-beef-pork skewers. All were nicely plated and delicious. We each ordered a Spanish rose which was a perfect accompaniment to the tapas. We celebrated my wife's birthday with a scrumptious order of chocolate lava cake served with a scoop of ice cream. Service was friendly and professional. Sadly, however, the dining room was noticeably not busy. We wondered why- could it have been that people were worried about the upcoming blizzard and just decided to stay home? What a shame. This is a really fine restaurant. If in the mood for Spanish-influenced cooking, then you really must give Bistro Mediterranean Grill and Tapas Bar a try.

    We arrived around 4:15 to catch the Happy Hour. When we arrived, we noticed the slight musty smell…read moreright at the entryway...not a good impression. We asked the bartender if we could enjoy the Happy Hour at one of the tables, he said, No. Only at the bar. Something that was not spelled out on the menu nor the website. We sat at the bar. The menu listed the house gin at $5. I asked which Gin did they use as House Gin. The bartender said, I can give you Tanqueray but the price is not $5 like the menu says, it's $7. He said that menu was from Milford, not Westbrook. Weird...so I get a glass of wine, which did ring at $6 like the menu said. We ordered a few "tapas". Out of the four that we tried, the best one was the turnover (empanada), then the meatballs (tiny meatballs), then the fried calamari (which tasted and looked out of a frozen wholesale fried calamari bag) and last the pork medallion (not tasty at all). When the bill came, two of the tapas had the wrong price (higher than what the menu said)....I had to ask the bartender to rectify, which he did.....Poor people the ones that do not check their bills....they can easily be overcharged here....Big time..... Not recommended....not coming back.

The Peach dessert on the menu was not available so the Pastry Chef created something on the spot which was delicious with the French Press Coffee. Why can't you be closer!

    We arrived at Bar Bouchée exactly at our reservation time and stood awkwardly for five minutes --…read moreno host, no greeting, no clear idea of what to do. When someone finally acknowledged us, we were just told to "wait." Ten minutes later, we checked in again, only to be told that our table was still occupied, with no real update or apology. Trying to make the best of it, we went to the bar to order a drink while we waited, but the bartender responded with an attitude and told us "the host will be with you soon" -- which had nothing to do with the fact that we were simply trying to get a drink while we stood there waiting. It was an unnecessary brush-off. We were finally seated over 30 minutes after our reservation, and placed our full order right away, hoping to make up for lost time. But then the cheese board took another 30 minutes to arrive. When we asked, we were told there was some kind of miscommunication -- again, no real ownership or urgency. Then came the main course. I ordered the bavette steak medium rare, but what I got was clearly rare and chewy, as the photo shows. When I mentioned it, the waitress did say it looked maybe on the rare side to her but also that Bavette can come out like that looking red - but Undercooked and poorly prepared is not a feature of the cut. We didn't want to wait longer so just ate some. To be fair, our waitress was kind and acknowledged the issues, but it was one of the most frustrating "high-end" dining experiences I've had. At these prices and with this reputation, you expect better service, better pacing, and food cooked properly. Instead, it felt like we were an afterthought the entire night.

    First time coming here after visiting Lavender Pond Farm. Dog friendly outside with seating area…read more We ordered the McBarrel nachos which came with ground beef, tomato's, pickles, melted cheese and their special sauce (tasted like thousand island/big Mac sauce) We also ordered a cider but it wasn't as bubbly, tasted flat, but they were happy to swap if for a canned Down East cider I also got a plain spicy margarita. Very basic. Asked for flavoring and they have more sweeter stuff: strawberry, pomegranate Food and drinks were all out quick We were specifically looking for dog friendly places online and found an ad for "Yappy hour"; dog friendly food and drinks.

The wrap was flavorful with cowboy caviar, avocado, and cilantro lime aioli with chicken and melted cheddar cheese. If you are in the area, it's a great spot for a quick drink and bite to eat.

Well, everything was fantastic especially the pastas. They really know what they're doing with their daily fresh (insanely light) pasta and sauce. We were literally scraping the bowl with our spoons to get the lasts bites of both the ravioli and tagliatelle - absolutely DELICIOUS. Outside of pastas everything else was flavorful and tasty; especially that braised short rib! Truly an unforgettable and incredibly crave-able meal + the service and drinks on top of it all made it even better. I've wanted to go for years since it's constantly all over popular foodie accounts and even then nothing prepared me for how delicious this meal was. I can honestly say in the 6 years that I've lived in CT some of these dishes were the best I've EVER had in the state and 1000% the best texture pasta I've experienced overall.
