Came here for a private birthday event and were sat in the back (side?) room. Was a good overall experience.. servers did a decent job trying to keep up with keeping water and soda jugs full. I will say, it was a little hard to mingle given the amount of people for the room so it was more of a once you sit, you're stuck speaking to your table mates. Also served some chicken franchese I believe and the family brought some desserts on their own.

Cavatelli and broccoli

Lazzy disgrace for Italian food. 19$ for a cavatelli and broccoli. I needed strainer to drain my dinner before eating. It looked like cavatelli soup. If you're looking for better Italian food check out Olive Garden .

Chicken Marsala
Kevin B.

Haven't been to the OG Vazzy's in quite some time so had a date night here. Place definitely has its pros and cons, on this night it was slammed. So slammed we had to park on the adjacent street and walk across the parking lot. Not to mention I made 630 reservations but didn't get seated until 7, what was the point of making the reservation? Anyhow, I give it 4 stars based on the food and the quality service from our server we received. I got the chicken parm which was very enjoyable, came with pasta and string beans which oddly was good and goes well with chicken parm. My wife got chicken Marsala which looked good as well. They had a loud private party in the side room but what annoyed us was the 40 person party in the dining room the covered the entire length of the floor, just made the place seem small and uncomfortable.

This is an amazing restaurant, you might not expect to find one like in in Bridgeport - CT, but…read moreit's definitely one of America's best restaurants, and it is definitely there in Bridgeport. Both Ralph and Rich are tremendous restaurant proprietors. Ralph is a truly gifted and accomplished chef - top, top category - and he also has the remarkable quality of really caring what you think of the dishes he prepares. How do we know ? Because he comes out and asks, and socializes with the guests a little bit too. I think this is a way great chefs retain their standing as great chefs - they always want to make their creations even better, and not all chefs are like that. Rich is the "front of the house" partner, and imparts an atmosphere of genuine welcoming, and I think he is the glue that keeps all the necessary parts of the restaurant joined together, especially the front-of-the-house, so that the whole place presents itself literally as a work of art, and keeps itself moving forward as a commercial establishment, and culinary institution both at the same time. Also, an intangible small or maybe not so small point. Both Ralph and Rich - make sure that not only are disabled people tolerated at the restaurant - they are welcomed by management (both Ralph and Rich contribute to this unique intangible quality of the place) to a point where disabled guests KNOW they are welcomed, and that is rare in a restaurant, or anywhere for that matter. Warmly and fully welcomed, but without an undue fuss. They are special people, and it is a special restaurant. Literally one of America's best, and not a moonshot place price-wise. I think they pass along some of the cost benefit of being in Bridgeport to the guests. In total, probably the best restaurant we've ever visited, definitely one of the best ---- although there have been some other special ones. Ralph 'n Rich's is one of the best of the best. A top, top, top, top place !

Service and food once again top notch. The spiedini is the best around, and the chicken rollatini…read morecapri pairs well with a glass of Riesling.

Una Dolce Vita - Pizza by the slice and a personal pie

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. We had just had dinner and stopped in search of…read moredessert. We selected a Tres Leche cake and two espressos. Customer service was great. The restaurant was so inviting with a mural of Italy with a Vespa and other coffee imagery. They played Italian music. They also sell pizza, gelato, coffee, cakes and canolis. There is a full bar as well. Next time I stop in I'd like to try the pizza.

I am puzzled how there are so many great reviews for this establishment. I arrived at the top of…read morethe lunch hour and while there were a few getting take out, there was no one eating in. Should have been my first clue. The pizzas in the display case all looked enticing (although nothing labeled or priced) and I decided to get a Gramma slice along with the eggplant special listed for the day. I also got the ricotta/spinach bread showcased in the display case. I asked if the eggplant was a platter or a grinder/sandwich, and was told it was a sandwich. Great. Well, there was no grinder, no Italian bread, roll, but what looked to be either pizza or calzone dough made into bread like slices. Interesting. The taste wasn't great and it was difficult to pick up to eat without all falling apart, so I decided to remove the top piece of "bread" and eat it with a fork and knife. There was 1 piece of eggplant, 1 piece on each sandwich half. One. Eggplant Parm is cooked and then the slices layered, and usually there are at least 3-4 layers, but not this. The eggplant had many seeds in it indicating the eggplant is past its prime-not the freshest -and the seeds add a bitter taste. Not pleasing. Gobs of cheese atop the bread, but no Parmesan detected. The ricotta spinach was an inedible unappetizing mess of stringy cheese and overcooked spinach. The Gramma slice was ok but I would not return for this. The decor is great and the service was fine, but the food was not good and ended up in the garbage! Ugh! On street parking in downtown Bridgeport. I will not be returning nor recommending.

Rob Thomas was playing there that evening! lol holy flashbacks. Started with the Caesar salad and initially we said side salad so our waiter must have put that through but then we quickly changed it to the main Caesar so we could share it. I also ordered the Lobster ravioli and the man got the salmon. A few minutes go by and out comes the side Caesar salad from a food runner. Place was packed so they have food runners and bussers here. We then had to find our waiter to tell him he/they messed up. About ten minutes later the main Caesar comes, we are finally enjoying that and out come our hot entrees about a minute later. I HATE when entrees come while you are still eating your appetizers/salads or not even done with your drink. This is a sign of poor service/communication with the kitchen or just an incredibly overbooked restaurant and therefore; service suffers. Entrees-the Lobster ravioli came with ONE ravioli (Pictured). A lot of seafood comes with this dish which was very delicious and I was hungry so I ate 99% of it and then our server came over to ask how it was so I told him it was good but it only had one ravioli. It was more like a cioppino dish than a ravioli dish. He was so nice and said I'm going to send out another dish with more ravioli. I was pretty full so I didn't need more food, but I gladly took it home as it was very tasty. Man said the salmon was ok. Not the best. We then stayed for the band and they were phenomenal. They kept the sound under control so it wasn't blasting with customers having dinner. We decided to go over there after dinner and hang out. I will say the space for bands is very small. It's in the corner and there are tables awkwardly around the band and really no place to stand and watch the band unless you're around the corner. Strange setup but we had a blast. Food very tasty but I have to say I agree with the low ratings on this place because a lot of mishaps occurred.

I am a mail carrier, who works in the area. Please note, that I had also delivered to them when the regular was out on vacation, this is how I became a customer. I would purchase their personal size cheese pizza almost everyday while doing the route, or if and when in the area. Before leaving, I would use the bathroom, because as mentioned before ... I am a mail carrier with very little access to restrooms on the routes. So today, although I did not make a purchase today, I stopped there this morning to use the restroom. I again then tried to use the bathroom just now 3/2 @ 5pm and the young lady who is the cashier had an attitude and said to me that I basically shouldn't think that I can just come there and use their bathroom, and that I have to be a customer. I explained to her that I am a customer, I just wasn't making a purchase today. She continues to tell me that she's being "nice," and if it were anyone else .. they would tell me no to my face (lmao). I wanted to curse her out so bad, but me being in my uniform didn't allow me to. Anyways, I reiterated myself about me being a customer ... and that I just wasn't making a purchase ... she calls a gentleman over and he's like don't take it personal ... but it was already personal ... I had been spending my money there for a long time, just for you to deny me bathroom access. I told them straight up that they just lost a customer.
