Branzino

My mom and I stopped in for a quick lunch at Romanacci's Norwalk location, and it was exactly what we were looking for! The food was delivered quickly to our table, and we were in and out within an hour. We really enjoyed our pizza, pasta, and apps, and everything was fresh. I also loved how the restaurant was decorated for Christmas!

Espresso martini & mango margarita

Amazing service ! Great atmosphere. Espresso martini was very light and delicious a great drink with my penne vodka pasta. Food tasted so fresh and hand made. Tried my first crepe and it was amazing, very warm and sweet with fresh strawberries. Will definitely be returning. (:

I have been to their Trumbull location numerous times b/c it's by my home. Unfortunately, they do not have free soda refills like this location. I also been to the Westport train station location. Westport has these Cheeto mozzarella sticks that none of the other locations I go to has. They don't have pasta though. My cuz & me came here after seeing the giant WWE championship belt in Stamford. She's from NYC but visits me from time to time. She loves Romanacci & asked if we can go here. I said sure. We got there it really wasn't busy. We sat in a booth.I ordered a cheese personal pie. She ordered a half cheese/half broccoli rabe. We both ordered Cokes. Our food came out. It was delicious as always. The waitress was inattentive & both my cuz & me had to call her over for a soda refill. The inside has cool decor & the other side has couches to sit on & eat w/ glass tables. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of the other side. It's a good vibe inside w/ music you can rock to.

Tasty pizza considering this was a mall food court! Romanacci definitely puts Sbarro to shame! Plus the portion sizes were equal to the price. I ordered two slices and ended up with four! The staff was friendly and honest. I inquired about one of their specialties and she was honest about how it was done instead of giving me a sales pitch, resulting in me making the right order choice with the pizza. My one disappointment was the garlic knots. They were huge and lacked flavor and texture. I've had better frozen.

Marinara pizza.
Willie W.

Wife and I tried this pizza place for our first time at the Norwalk, CT. It's sort of an express type eatery layout at the mall. Friendly staff with overall good service. We had the mushroom and marinara pizza and a couple of side orders. Food was very good and temperature was exactly how I like it. You can in sit nearby at a couple of large tables to dine. The only problem I had was they had no ice for the soda that was warm. They need to remove the drinks from where it sits outside an open refrigeration container. They should either purchase an enclosed refrigerator to keep drinks cold or have ice available for the customers would be my suggestion. Would revisit but next I'll bring my own cold drink.

Marinara pizza
Mark R.

My wife and I went to Romanacci's for an early dinner. She had just been there recently and had an appetizer and fries and thought it was good. Well she got the red sangria to drink and said it was very good I had the happy hour beer special of 1 beer and second was half off. Our waitress was very friendly. We ordered the potato croquettes off the happy hour menu but they never showed. The waitress apologized for forgetting to enter it into the system. We also ordered the mozzarella en carrozza. It was absolutely delicious. We each ordered a small pizza. I got the shrimp scampi my way without the cherry peppers. My first bite had a great garlic flavor but the rest of the pizza was just ok. My wife got the marinara pizza and said the carmelized onion made it too lsweet. Parmesan curls that were on the appetizer would have balanced out the sweetness very well. One of her slices was also burnt black on the bottom. So we would go back but not for the pizza. We would love to try more of the appetizers.

Potatoes with red sause

Always come here the food is on point. Came here on my bday ordered cappuccino that was great, then the potato app love it. Penne was good, but I think it was a little too sausey, but I did eat it. I will come here again.

With gay bars rapidly disappearing across America, Troupe stands out as a vibrant hub in the Fairfield County LGBTQ+ scene. The owners pour their heart and soul into every aspect of the bar including the programming, music, and atmosphere, and it really shows. The bartenders are warm, welcoming, and genuinely seem to love what they do. From drag shows and burlesque performances to seasonal drink specials, themed parties, and go-go shows, there's always something happening. Troupe quickly became my go-to spot after discovering it one week into living in CT and I'm so grateful for its existence. Huge shoutout to Casey and Nicholas for the love and tireless work they put into making Troupe429 what it is today--and of course to Johnny, who mixes the meanest elderflower gin and tonic in town.

Overall 4 of 5 but rounding up to 5 :)…read more 3 of us had a late lunch around 2 PM. They are 80% full however gave us a very small table and it felt very Squizzy. We had to ask for a bigger table and was led towards the end. Very interesting menu, we had the pu'er tea, which is not very commonly offered in the Chinese restaurants in the area. Love the teapot presentation and overall the branding effort. We tried to order the soup dumpling but was told something wasn't working properly and it's going to take over an hour so next time. Got wontons in chili oil, love the flavor. The mushu pork, a little bit too sweet for me. And the beef chow fun, just can't go wrong with that, and the szichuan pot with cumin lamp. I think this more authentic Chinese but my husband felt the lamb was too oily. I requested to get the little cute cat cup for my daughter's lemonade order and they said yes, so it was a very cute touch. Very happy with the visit definitely a lot of potential we will be back.

My colleagues and I decided to try it out for lunch after both my coworker and I bookmarked it on Yelp, intrigued by its reputation. We were warmly greeted as soon as we entered and seated immediately at a cozy corner table. The restaurant features a full bar with an extensive selection of spirits and creatively crafted drinks, which we eagerly ordered alongside appetizers and main courses. I chose the Mongolian Beef, a popular dish, while my coworker ordered the flavorful Orange Chicken and another chicken dish. I sampled my coworker's Orange Chicken, which was exceptionally delicious; it had a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, coated in a sticky citrus glaze that complemented the crispy fried chicken pieces. Another coworker ordered the Kung Pao Chicken: wok-tossed chicken thighs with colorful bell peppers, sliced onions, and dried red chilis in a robust Kung Pao sauce, with a spicy kick that was satisfying but too spicy for me to enjoy fully. I returned to my choice, the Mongolian Beef, a fan favorite featuring tender strips of Angus beef stir-fried with bell peppers and onions in a smoky, lightly sweet, and savory sauce. The dish was coated with a glossy, sticky glaze that clung beautifully to the beef, which was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. Every bite was rich in garlic and spices, making the dish both savory and satisfying. The customer service was exceptional; our server was attentive and friendly, even bringing us a complimentary Foutne Cookie Ice Cream dessert, which added a delightful sweet ending to our meal. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I look forward to returning to Lazy Sister soon.

Their ordering system is QR code based which I'm not really a fan of but the food did come out fast! The show stoppers were the crab Rangoon croquettes, Karaage onigiri and the yuzu bar. I only tried one cocktail which was the whassup and personally I did not love it. The burnt honey called to me but the wasabi tonic was extremely overpowering. I also felt the chimichurri on the pork belly yakimono was overpowering as well, but a lot of their other items are fantastic and maybe it was an off day for those items! I'd definitely return as there's so many things to try still!! I'm still thinking about the yuzu bar!

I'm no foodie but I am Chinese/Japanese and can appreciate finer things in life when I see it. This place meet and exceeded my expectations. The wonderful speak-easy tamaki-ya room in the back is warmly lit and held at a nice volume, much quieter than the izakaya bar in the front. For small bites we had the Beet n Hijiki salad (highly recommend!), Agedashi tofu, and Torched Maine uni. For hand-rolls I had the Spanish Mackerel, Hokkaido Scallops, Ocean Trout, BBQ Eal & Foie Gras, and Cucumber ume. My wife had the Maine Uni, Hamachi, and Botan Ebi. Everything was good, but there were quite a few that were very good, and there were two that, for me, were the best that I've ever had in recent memory. For the Spanish Mackerel Chef Taibe put an interesting spin on it by topping it off with a traditional Chinese ginger and scallion garnish used in a tender chicken dish. It works, it balances out the briny taste of Spanish Mackerel... which is great... unless you LOVE the briny, savory, mineral, metallic, umami taste of fresh Spanish Mackerel :) The Hokkaido Scallops was, by quite a large margin, the best scallop dish I've ever had. The tender sweetness of the fresh scallop combined with a brown butter kewpie (how American!) and yuzu tobiko sauce swimmingly. Texture, temperature, taste, all perfect. I like eel and I love Unaju. But by far the biggest surprise was the BBQ Eal & Foie Gras (see pic). This dish alone warrants a culinary course. On the face of it, bbq, eel, foie gras all sets you up for something rich, filling, heavy. But when I bit into the unassuming hand roll, it was the lightest bite of Japanese rice/seafood/seaweed/liver/sauce combo I've ever had. Turns out Chef Taibe prepared the sauce from scratch using five+ different spices, and prepared the foie gras au torchon. I could go on, but suffice to say, this was one of the best bites I've ever had. By contrast, I thought I was going to close out with the cucumber ume roll, but compared to the eel and foie gras, the ume actually felt more overpowering. Perhaps if they cut back on the generous amount of ume paste... (Worthy mention: Chef Taibe presents the nori in a separate envelope. This seemingly simple step is crucial to the taste and mouthfeel of the hand roll. It provides a wonderful fresh crisp crunch to every bite and it does indeed make a difference. He mentioned he sources a special nori but I forgot the details, just know that it's really good) My wife loves uni, and I'll let her describe her experience (which she won't) but it was so good she had to order a second one. As if you need more convincing, we had a great experience and I think you will too. Bravo Chef, well done
