This place was recommended to us so we decided to stop by on an early Monday afternoon. It was…read morebusy, but the line moved quickly. The space is pleasant, typical local Italian. We were pleasantly surprised by the array of cooked choices. My husband loved the chicken meal. I had the chef's broccoli salad. Really yummy & innovative. The cutlets were crispy! We bought them to make sandwiches for our kids. I also got a pound of breaded eggplant cutlets. Amazing! All reasonably priced. The owner was personable & chatty. The ladies who served were fast! We'll be back!

First time visiting CT this past weekend and this spot really stood out among all the places I…read moretried! There's really no better place for a pre-beach meal. Their menu is HUGE and will have something for quite literally everybody, whether you're into pizza, wraps, panini, or salads. This made it super tough to decide what to get, however. After checking out their Yelp page I decided to go with "The Boss." SO good. It had penne alla vodka, chicken cutlet, and some very fresh mozz. My only complaint is that I wish I had some chili flakes to add a bit more of a kick. Everything meshed so well together and I totally see myself recreating this as my next hangover cure. Additionally, we tried the potato salad. I am SO picky about potato salad and was literally dancing when I took a bite (please tell me someone relates to the happy food shakes). The potatoes were cooked to perfection and I loved how it had red peppers in it! The staff was friendly and the place was clean and well-ran. I went at peak lunch hour and was still served within 15-20 minutes, super impressive! Will need to go again when back in the area.

Blacked Swordfish and asparagus were delicious, could have substituted another vegetable for the rice and would have been just as happy. Carrot cake was good. Dense which is how I like it, icing made it too sweet. Cream cheese filling, yummm. Will certainly be back.

After the beach in Madison we stopped by Donahue's for dinner…read more The interior is very pretty, there are so many family photos everywhere, the wood interior gives it a classy feel. There's a little stage, and a piano where local musicians perform. We were seated quickly, given waters and menus. Based off the menu, the seafood items are much pricier then everything else. My friend got the lobster roll and I got the Smoked Salmon Sandwich. Her lobster roll looked super fresh and tasty and it reminded me of when I devoured them on my trip to Maine. My Salmon Sandwich was a bit less exciting, but still tasty. It came with horseradish, lettuce, onion and tomato on Rye Bread, and a generous serving of salmon. This was tasty, but a bit dry. The service with water refills was a bit delayed. We had a nice time at Donahue's, I would return here for their chowder.

Would recommend ordering ahead (if possible)... it did take about 25 minutes to get the pizzas. We ordered a meat lovers and got an everything pizza but it was delicious and the boy at the cash register threw in an extra bottle of water and we didn't lose sleep over it :) Food was piping hot! Would 10/10 be back. Also crust was fresh. (I used to work making pizzas and I'm Italian and can be a tough critic .. but overall, was thoroughly impressed).

We walked in and were instantly greeted and ushered to a table that was the right size for our little group. The service throughout the night was amazing, the food was delicious and appropriately hot, and the beverages were perfect. The staff was very knowledgeable and had no issues answering any questions. Once the food landed on the table, there was that kind of silence that can only mean that everyone was too busy enjoying the food to talk at all. Once the forks had settled, we all had nothing but compliments! After we had finished, we noticed that the whole place had cleared out. We chatted with the manager for a minute and gave praises to the service and food, and he said that he closes a bit early so that his staff can go home to spend the holiday with their families, which was admirable! I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about our experience and we're all looking forward to next year already! Needless to say, this will continue to be where we will celebrate every Christmas Eve from now on!

A chewy/ flavorless piece of steak that was mediocre at best topped with very fishy crab, a side of asparagus and a small baked potato. Complete highway robbery. Plated beautifully, lacking flavor. Did not eat the crab, choked down the steak. The small baked potato was perhaps the best part, even though it was plain. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. Bathroom bathrooms were clean. I can't understand the price point here.

A great place to watch the sunset and they have what looks to be a nice deck when it's not mid winter. We will be back again.

We did notice it was hard to hear at the height of the busy time but wonderful to talk as it cleared out. There is beautiful art decorating the walls. This added to the homey feel.

We've had the burgers, steak tip dinner, shrimp appetizer, goat pistachio flatbread and chicken wings. Each meal has been tasty and worth trying.

They have a new chef, so we will see Not surprising, the Goulash was absolutely delicious. It was a healthy portion and VERY tasty!!

My go-to is the California breakfast sandwich... customize it with multigrain bread, add bacon and arugula for the best breakfast sandwich in CT!

We also got the egg salad BLT which was phenomenal with a generous portion of egg salad. And we got a Cobb salad which was solid. Only reason this was a 4 instead of a 5 - nobody came to check on us or refill water after we got the food. And the food took a while to come out. And we had to wait quite a while after we finished eating to flag someone down to get the check. Understandable given it was a gorgeous Saturday of a holiday weekend. There's great outdoor seating, although limited table space. There's a line to sit outside most days.

The food was very good and surprisingly since they are working in such a small kitchen. The clientele leaves a bit to be desired a lot of people just seem rude and also sat at their tables way too long and not considerate knowing so many people were waiting to be seated but not much you can do about that. Our waitress was nice and took out order pretty promptly but after that we never saw her or anyone again. Still I would eat there again
