    Sausage slice
    Denise A.

    First visit: no delivery, so you must go to location- housed at the Fairfield Train Station. Tiny area, eating in option most limited-which we chose to sample slices-a cheese and a sausage. Overall good; liked crust and taste. Sauce a little bit less than great and would have preferred a tad more. Cheese had that stringy, chewy aspect which is not my preference. Ordering/eating area cluttered, and there was a bag of pepperoni just laying on counter. Decent but not sure about returning.

    Best NY style pizza in Fairfield! Usually I am a plain pizza type, but they also have really good veggie pizza and other toppings.

    Excellent little hole in the wall. Just the crispiness in the crust and great sauce! Worth the slight detour off 95!

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.

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.

Then I thought of Luigi's and that it was good back then and let me tell you - Luigi's is THE best pizza in CT. That's right. I've had no better in this weird state. Just like the slice I used to get in NY growing up. I asked for lightly baked and the slice folded perfectly, was the perfect texture and actually had flavor and the sauce and cheese were excellent quality- all around a delicious mushroom pie and everyone actually agreed with me! Plus a very friendly lady took the phone order and wow- even though it's not too close for me, this is THE only place I will go for pizza in CT anymore. Thanks Luigi's !

As someone who has spent a summer in Italy/studied abroad, I was absolutely gobsmacked as to why anyone patrons this restaurant! The highlight of the evening was our kind waitress (clearly had absolutely no culinary-based experience and my boyfriend had to open the bottle of wine for her) and the Barolo. That is it. A proper caprese does not feature 4/5ths tomatoes and shards of two leaves of basil. Linguine and clams does not come congealed, with half of the clams closed (ie. dead) and a poor pasta cook (not al dente-- just half cooked). Our waitress informed me that she would be removing the item from the bill.... Um. Hello. I took ONE bite and decided absolutely NOT. We aren't discussing a comp/removal. It's inferred. And the 'tortellini in brodo'?! That I waited another 30 minutes for? Store brought chicken broth, no herbs or elevation. Absolutely sad and inedible. We will likely just contact AMEX. Maybe it's because I'm a New Yorker, well traveled and a damn good cook... Because this place!? Oh no. Blasphemy. Just no flavor or love-- I've had better meals and experiences in a college dorm. Oh! Pro tip! Please don't sit an elegant party of two next to egregiously-behaved children who require medication and therapy. The experience was a fail at "Hello. Party of 2?" *And "this guest" still paid the bill and tipped graciously amidst a very disappointing meal-- as it wasn't our waitress' fault. Alas, management won't take the onus that the food is subpar. Bravo.

    Vespino Pizza + Restaurant is a modern Italian restaurant and New York-style pizzeria that opened…read morein Fairfield, Connecticut in March 2023. It was founded by Italian immigrant restaurateurs and business partners Nunzio DeTommaso and Biagio "Gino" Riccio. DeTommaso ran Gravina Pizzeria in Greenwich for a number of years before it closed, while Riccio is most well-known for founding Quattro Pazzi Café in Fairfield in 1997. In this new collaborative venture between the two, DeTommaso and Riccio serve authentic New York-style pizza in a friendly and casual atmosphere. The name "Vespino" is a reference to a brand of mopeds which are a popular mode of transportation in major Italian cities. In addition to the signature New York-style pizza, the menu also consists of Detroit-style pizza, Italian entrees, pasta dishes, salads, classic antipasti, beer, wine and craft cocktails. In summer 2024, Vespino was sold to restaurateur Marcelo Acosta. My family and I recently had dinner at Vespino for the first time. We've had them on our "must-try" list of restaurants for some time and we were excited to finally sample their food. There were some fancy-sounding drinks on their cocktail menu, so I decided to order the "Sardinian Special" (Redemption bourbon, prickly pear, citrus, mint). This delicious cocktail reminded me of being on a warm Italian beach: a nice distraction from the freezing cold temperatures outside. For food, I ordered the "Burrata Pizza" (mozzarella, tomato sauce, topped with/ fresh burrata & EVOO), my wife ordered the "Tortelloni" (peas, prosciutto, mushrooms, vodka sauce), our older son had the "Kids Chicken Tenders" (w/ fries), and our younger son had the "Kids Penne Pasta" (w/ butter). We all really liked our food! My pizza had a crispy crust, really creamy burrata, and an excellent sauce! My wife loved her pasta, especially the vodka sauce). Overall, we all had a great experience at Vespino and would love to return. Next time I really want to try their Detroit-style pizza.

It was alright but not sure we'd come back.
