The menu is some what tied into the Puglia region, which is the heel of the boot. I could tell the italian dialect from the owner when he was speaking to one of the staff, it immediately gave me a good feeling that this restaurant would be really good. The appetizers we had were all really good, we had the fried calamari, the grilled Octopusss, the fried zucchini flowers and thd hummus special. Sorry no pics of these. We had a couple of the Orrechiette Barese, Chicken parmigiana, a pasta special of fettuccine with shrimp in a cream and pesto sauce, another pasta with cavatelli, shrimp and cream and pesto sauce, really couldn't see the pesto, probably could have used a little more or maybe a little finishing with the pesto on top. Service was good and the owner came around to introduce himself and we got a complimentary round of their homemade creama di limencello to finish off the experience. Wr wouldn't hesitate to go again the next time we are in town to see a show.

Lots of gluten-free choices, and very accommodating. The light, crispy gluten free sticks of mutz (Beaded and Fried Mozzarella Sticks served with Marinara Sauce ) were the best I've ever had. Although I took half of the generous portion of orecchiette alla barese (Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, Garlic Oil Sauce ) home. They wound up being eaten for a late night desert. I guess it makes sense to pair fine food with fine wines.

We decided maybe just a drink at the bar, we ordered two drinks, very flat, no carbonation in the drinks at all, wife's soda had not one bubble in it, my beer had no foam or bubbles at all (extremely flat). Not to mention the stemware was very poor, glasses were very small, very basic, and did not make for a want to be "chic" bar vibe. When paying, placed card down and asked for change for tip- (worked in food industry in the past, always better to tip cash). Bar tender looked at it, and decided to make 4 other drinks first as my wife and I sat there with empty glasses waiting to leave. For a bill under 14 and change, asked for change for a 10, was going to tip $4 and given back two fives, granted it's only $1 but the service and everything did not grant a 29% tip sorry! Would have loved to have tried the food, but as an empty restaurant, on a hopping Thursday night, was very put off on the first impression.

I also had a great lobster bisque the other day. This place is like comfort food, with a French twist. I'll keep showing up as long as they'll have me.

Then we both had ropa vieja for the third course - deliciously seasoned meat with rice and black beans on the side. Everything was fresh and tasty.

The atmosphere is awesome--warm, rustic, and "Southwest" in a way that feels intentional, not cheesy. It's the kind of spot that works for a fun night out, a date, or just grabbing dinner when you want something that feels elevated. The staff was also a standout: friendly, genuinely helpful, and fast without feeling rushed. They were on top of everything. And the food... honestly, that's what steals the show. The tableside guacamole and salsa are a must--fresh, flavorful, and it adds a cool little "event" to the meal. Everything we had felt gourmet for Mexican cuisine, like real care went into ingredients and execution. I'm vegetarian, and I was pumped about how many options there were that didn't feel like an afterthought. The flavors were bold, the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and it just hit that sweet spot of "comfort food" but done right. If you're looking for Mexican/Southwest food in Fairfield, this is one of the best spots around. I'll definitely be back.

This place rocks. Not sure why it doesn't get better rating. Great service tacos are great!read more
