    The place is a nice little spot to come to after a long day of anything they have nice workers here and service is good along with the food being affordable, and a good quiet space for those that isn't usually good with chaotic places

    This place has a lot of potential but unfortunately I did not have a great experience my first time. They're supposedly a cafe and bakery - but they somehow ran out of whole milk and there was no decaf (one of our party was pregnant so couldn't have a full coffee). Instead, we ordered the chai tea which came highly recommended, but that was just the beginning... They warned us it would take a while to make. "A while" ended up being close to 30 minutes. Originally asked for an iced chai but they gave us a hot chai instead. It tasted fantastic but wasn't what we ordered! However, the staff are lovely and very nice people. It's a very slow pace so I'd go elsewhere if you're in a rush. Hope to have a better experience if I ever come back.

    How have I never been here before ?!!! It's a hidden gem in Torrington!! I was so hungry when I arrived and wanted to order everything!! My son just had an orthodontist appointment and couldn't eat much, so one of the employees recommended one of her drink creations! It was delicious!! The owner was so friendly and had my food out in just a few minutes! I thought the prices were really good too! I can't wait to go back!

    I've had several takeout lunches from Cafe' 38 in Torrington in the past few months. Mostly salads, but also some wraps & sandwiches. The place is consistent, it makes solidly good food with fresh & quality ingredients. Soups are excellent also. The owner is sweet, and it is obvious she loves what she does. I highly recommend Cafe' 38 for lunch. FYI: street metered parking.

    We've been struggling to find a great restaurant in Torrington. Somewhere where the service and the…read morefood are excellent and well worth the price- Sasso's exceeded our expectation. We live around the area kept saying to ourselves throughout the night "why haven't we been here before? We've been missing out on such good food" There seems to be a lot of seating both inside and outside so that's a plus since we were able to get seated right away without a reservation on a Friday night. (they were already pretty busy) Our waitress was so friendly and super attentive even with all the tables she had. Now on to the food! Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. You could tell that whoever is cooking genuinely cares about the food that is coming out of that kitchen. To start we ordered the Spinach Artichoke Dip w/ Garlic Parm Crostini and the Antipasto Salad. (Not pictured) Everything came out in great portions to share and even the crostinis were packed full of flavor which brought the dip up another notch. The salad was fresh, colorful and absolutely delicious. For our entree we both ordered the Steak Frites-cooked medium. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was herby, savory and even had a little bite to it-it was phenomenal. To add to the mix the frites had parm & garlic to make them even tastier To finish, after a very long day- we knew that an affogato would just finish this meal off perfectly and we were right. It was delicious and the candied walnuts were such a nice touch to add for texture. (My husband now has a new favorite dessert) Needless to say we will absolutely be back, and more than likely bringing many others in tow to share an absolutely wonderful meal!

It's a typical Italian deli, there's a few tables in the main area and someone off to the side if you want to eat in! They are so much more than just deli food, they have a full catering menu and everything I've ever had from them has been delicious! Today I got the Il Padrino which has prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil! So good and the bread is perfect for a panini! Definitely consider Alfredo's for all of your catering needs!

    This may be one of the most positive food/people/local business experiences that I have ever had…read more I encourage you, truly, to enjoy this traditional neighborhood Italian deli - where they REALLY cook (and more importantly) and take pride in their work in addition to taking an interest in their customers. As I was leaving today from my first (and definitely not my last) lunch visit, I told the awesome staff "I hope to have reason to host a catered party so I can call you." *** The look and feel of this place screams of "home" to me. I'm from NJ and miss the true delis in every neighborhood. No offense to the Litchfield Hills, but I don't want books, artwork for sale, or jazz in my deli - and I sure don't want prefabricated sandwiches that are trying to inspire my esoteric side. Alfredo's just hits home. Home cooking. Very generous portion. Fantastic bread/rolls. Staff that made my experience great beyond expectation (they even gave me a sample of the day's special panini for my feedback... spoiler alert, it was terrific)! From what I tried today, everything was good. But the chicken cutlet is literally worth the drive from anywhere.

We went with the good ole free tap water. The restaurant is decorated like what I could imagine a home in Italy would look like. We dined at lunch time but still decided on the 24 oz boneless ribeye for two. That came with crispy potatoes and spinach. While we were waiting for our food we ate some really nice homemade bread that came with olive oil for dipping. Our steak was so tender my husband had beeb cutting his with a butter knife when he noticed his steak knife was on the table still next to his place. Our steak was seasoned beautifully and there was not a piece left over. Normally I prefer a butter or sauce for my potatoes. However, these potatoes were seasoned so well and crispy it wasnt needed. Now I left the spinach for last because I dont eat it. My husband ate it and he enjoyed it because it was not bitter! Finally when our bill came it was in a Pinocchio book which I thought was a cute and clever play on the restaurant name - Geppetto‼

There is not a more welcoming and comfortable place I can think of. The food backs it up - which is the main point. My only suggestion for first-time diners, perhaps ask your server if the chef will consider delaying courses a bit. In our group of four, we wanted to try/share 4 different apps and a meat and cheese board. Because of their dedication to a promptly and accurately coursed meal, all four apps and the boar all arrived at the time time (by design). Makes it really uncomfortable at the table with so many plates. But if that's my only gripe - that's all you need to know. This Is A Must Go!!! My favorite restaurant around.
