The waitress kindly explained the menu since I'm not familiar with Greek food. Definitely recommended is Yia Yia's Chips. They were crisp and somehow not too greasy. The tzatziki dip that went with them was light and refreshing. I shared a Just Kalamaki platter with a friend. The chicken skewer was tender and flavorful, but the pork was more rare than I liked. (Just a personal preference.) The lemon fries were the right kind of sour and the pita bread was nicely toasted. For dessert, the mouth-watering slice of baklava was served warm. It had a tasty nutty and honey flavor and goes really well with their Greek coffee. An overall delightful dining experience.

Blend between Neapolitan and New Haven style. Appetizers, salads, and wings literally the best array I've ever tried. The wings and the angry clams are our favorites and worth the drive from anywhere. Service is consistently good. Sometimes better than good. The vibe and feel is a great mix of feeling like you're "out" and having fun - and a really good place for a meal. Terrific. Not just for pizza. But the pizza is amazing too. Ps. Last night they had 2 specials that we loved. A spicy rigatoni bolognese and a vodka pie with pancetta and basil. Phenomenal. Both. Don't sleep on the specials menu.

Here's the issue. So. Soo soooooo flavorless and bland. It tasted mostly like bologna. Sandwich was ~30 layers of ham. 1 very thin layer of mortadella. 1 very thin layer of salami. Lettuce, tomato, onion. And if the vinegar was used, it was completely without flavor or color. I'm used to a couple more meats than that and occasionally a meat get la a layer or two more than another. But it was essentially a ham and cheese grinder with a thin garnish of salami and mortadella for $17.99+tax. I love Italian combos, this one broke my heart and I debated all day whether to leave this review. Guys.... If you're going to charge top dollar for a sub, you gotta make an effort on quality.

This may be one of the most positive food/people/local business experiences that I have ever had…read more I encourage you, truly, to enjoy this traditional neighborhood Italian deli - where they REALLY cook (and more importantly) and take pride in their work in addition to taking an interest in their customers. As I was leaving today from my first (and definitely not my last) lunch visit, I told the awesome staff "I hope to have reason to host a catered party so I can call you." *** The look and feel of this place screams of "home" to me. I'm from NJ and miss the true delis in every neighborhood. No offense to the Litchfield Hills, but I don't want books, artwork for sale, or jazz in my deli - and I sure don't want prefabricated sandwiches that are trying to inspire my esoteric side. Alfredo's just hits home. Home cooking. Very generous portion. Fantastic bread/rolls. Staff that made my experience great beyond expectation (they even gave me a sample of the day's special panini for my feedback... spoiler alert, it was terrific)! From what I tried today, everything was good. But the chicken cutlet is literally worth the drive from anywhere.

I have been told when you eat here you end up smelling a little like the kitchen due to lack of ventilation. What made me stop going?

I did not in anyway initiate and they confirmed they saw it on the camera. In essence, it feels unsafe to be here.

My family and I have lived in the area for more than a decade, and last night was our first visit…read moreto Geppetto's. After one dinner, I can confidently say: waiting that long was a major strategic error on our part. Walking in, the ambience immediately hit us. It felt transporting -- like one of those small, incredible places you stumble into somewhere in Italy. And I don't mean the "strip mall, giant portions of red sauce, Sinatra on repeat" Italian spots (no disrespect... I'm from New Jersey, I was raised on those). I mean real deal, authentic, thoughtful Italian cooking in a space that feels intimate and special. The menu is focused, authentic, and clearly executed with confidence. Honestly, I have no food allergies and at one point I realized I could probably close my eyes, spin around, point at the menu like I was playing darts, and be thrilled with whatever showed up. We committed fully to the experience: multiple appetizers, entrées all around, dessert, coffee -- basically the kind of ordering strategy that makes a server look at you and think, "These people came to eat." And somehow each dish was better than the last, which is both impressive and slightly unfair to the dish that came before it. Service was warm and attentive, though a little mysterious in structure. Several different people helped us throughout the night and none identified their roles. At some point I stopped trying to figure out who our official server was and just assumed Geppetto's operates on some kind of Italian hospitality relay team system. Whoever it was, they were all great and made the night feel personal and welcoming. Now for my two pieces of feedback, offered with genuine affection. First: our charming rustic wicker farmhouse chairs had just a touch of sag. Three members of our party are over 6'2" and about 240lbs, and there was a brief silent moment where we all wondered if the chairs were about to become part of the evening's entertainment. Thankfully they held strong. If those chairs could talk, they'd deserve a glass of wine. Second: the bread was fresh and delicious but leaned toward a very crusty baguette situation. Great bread, but it made some appetizers a little bit of a jaw workout. I'd love the option of butter or olive oil alongside it. But honestly... if those are the only things I can come up with, that should tell you everything. If you haven't been to Geppetto's, go. If you have been, go again. It's one of those rare places that feels elevated without feeling pretentious -- the kind of restaurant that makes you slow down, order dessert even when you're full, and immediately start planning when you can come back. After waiting ten years to try it, I can promise you one thing: We will not be waiting ten more.
