Both dishes were kept hot which I appreciated. The lamb came out on a sizzling tray with smoke - seasoned to perfection. Small portion for the price. Our appetizers were probably my least favorite - good, but I wish the were hotter in temperature as if they were sitting or not made as fresh. The vegetable Manchurian had your typical Manchurian sauce which paired nice with the crisp of the vegetable fritter. I would recommend going for my usual cauliflower Manchurian next time. The samosa chaat was good - a lot of texture but the yogurt made the dish relatively cold. Maybe because it was cold outside I really preferred something warmer. The restaurant decor is nothing to rave about - it gives very much so hole in the wall but you're not going for that. You're going for the food. Our waiter was soooo kind and had a pleasant smile. I asked for spicy sauce on the side and woah! Did not disappoint you only need a sprinkle of it. I would definitely return.

Maybe some better lighting but a very nice interior with vintage grade school chairs!! Food: presented well and very tasty, pizza was good but had to ask for some crushed red pepper and seasonings. The beet gnocchi was excellent and the hummus was great too. The meatballs were in a skillet and were great but possibly needs more sauce Overall: 100% if in the area it's a revisit for me!!!

We have to talk about Trigo. This place is worth a detour, a road trip, or heck--even a walk if…read moreyou're close enough. If you're on a pizza tour or just have a hankering for great pizza and good beer, Trigo needs to be your destination. This was my second visit in the last 12 months, and both times they delivered consistently delicious food and excellent service. You're greeted warmly with a smile, and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The pizza here is wood fired with a thin, crispy crust with just a bit of char. Don't be surprised if you see a small burnt spot or two--that's intentional and part of the style. If you enjoy the artisan-style pizzas from places like Pepe's, Sally's, Krust, or Otto, you'll feel right at home here. Located in the somewhat unassuming (and occasionally gritty) downtown Willimantic area, Trigo is truly a hidden gem. Street parking is available, or you can park in the rear lots and walk up the alley to the front entrance. We ordered the classic red cheese pizza, which was savory, crispy, and exactly what you want from a great pie. The real standout, though, was the Lemon White pizza. It was fantastic--unique, bright, and seriously delicious. Thin slices of whole lemon are baked right into it, and they're completely edible. A drizzle of honey and a touch of chili pepper bring everything together in a really memorable way. The beer selection is solid as well. We enjoyed the Keeper's Irish Red and the Mountain Magic cider. Honestly, give Trigo a shot--you won't regret it. My only complaint? They're closed on Sundays... which is a bit of a tragedy.

I went to Volare right at opening on a Friday. The inside is very comfortable looking, with some…read moretrendy splashes, like a selfie wall at the lobby. I would say the volume of the music was one or two notches too loud. Since it was opening, I was seated immediately. Looking around, I'd think there are maybe one or two too many tables of it got really busy, as they're fairly close together and I could see it creating a labyrinth if they all had people sitting at them. The lunch menu had a good range of options, so I would think a range of people would feel comfortable eating here. The chips and salsa, birria tacos, and fish tacos were ordered. I enjoyed the salsas, neither was too spicy and the rojo had a pleasant smoke in it. The birria tacos were alright, I may order them again, though maybe the white onions on the side to control the abundance of them. The fish tacos were bland. I really thought a lime to squeeze, maybe some extra of the aioli, or even some salt. I also paid extra for some beans and rice and felt that was not necessary in the future. Overall this is a solid choice for Mexican dining in the Norwich area, as it brings some different choices and perspectives you don't find at the other restaurants. I recommend a visit.

The waitress was wonderful and fairly knowledgeable about the foods and if she didn't know the answer to a question she went and got an answer. I had the Pineapple Cluck Tacos. They were very good. The Chutney sauce had a little too much spice. I understand the fusion process but still there was too much nutmeg. My grandson had the romaine noodle bowl. He loved it. The sauce was very spicy and hid some of the flavors of the other ingredients but was still something he would definitely order again. My son in law got the chicken mole. He enjoyed it but felt it would be much more flavorful with meat without a bone. (He is a head chef at a major restaurant). He said that they still need to soften up some of the spices. So it is a new place and just opened I am betting the longer they are in business the better the food will become. We will definitely be back. Oh and they make the best coconut margaritas. Deserts were great. Must stop in and try this place.the Yucca Fries were amazingly good.

There's a lot of nostalgia tied to this place, but the experience today feels like a shadow of what it used to be. The quality has dropped drastically. Service was, frankly, atrocious--slow, disengaged, and bordering on indifferent. The beer selection is still decent, but it doesn't matter much when every pour arrives tasting off. Whether it's bad kegs or hot glasses, the result is the same: lukewarm, skunky beer that's hard to enjoy. Food was another disappointment. Every item came out cold, and the flavors were on par with grade‑D fast food--bland, lifeless, and nowhere near the standard this place once had. Giving three stars feels generous, but it's a nod to the legacy Willibrew built over the decades. I truly hope they find their footing again, because right now, the nostalgia is doing all the heavy lifting. Ummmmm cheers I guess
