Their take out is fabulous. Their new family dinners are fantastic feeds 4 to 6 people and no matter what you choose, you can't go wrong. If that doesn't work, there is always the lobster dinner. read more

Epic fail Vazzy's. We went last night and the restaurant could best be described as overwhelmed. The waiter was inept, we had to wait and hour and a half for our dinner and only got it after I told the inept waiter that if our dinner didn't come soon we were going to have to leave without eating - we had 1/2 hour to eat and get to the movies. Foolish us left only 2 hours with reservations to eat dinner at Vazzy's of all places. Oh and the bacon in my gnocchi was uncooked - inedible for $26. We will never ever return. read more

We had a party of 5, and Bella was our server. She was very attentive and had the best service. definitely coming back here!!

Ordered take out. Had the works 2 large pie, some pasta and wings. Nothing was appetizing. Pizza was plain and greasy. Same with the pasta and the wings. I get it's tradicional Italian but this was but is giving that a bad image. Won't ever be going back. Rather drive an extra 15 min for better food. I payed 60 bucks to be disappointed and I'm not one to ever leave reviews too. Stay away fam! read more

Had my son's graduation dinner here. Excellent food and service. I don't eat alot of chicken but the stuffed chicken breast was excellent. Our guests were raving about the porchetta. Definitely coming back. read more

We buy take-out dinners, pizzas and wedges at Vazzy's on Broadbridge every week. Their food is very good and consistent. Our favorites are the Cavatelli and broccoli with sausage and the chicken Parmesan dinners. The brick oven pizza is the best. Always good service too! Prices are very reasonable. read more

This was an easy find from the Merritt Parkway. Perfect place to stop when heading south prior to NYC. The meal was hot and delicious. The servings plentiful (more than enough for lunch tomorrow). The bread basket had slices of white pizza and wonderfully fresh baked bread. read more

I'm sad to say, it was not a great experience tonight. We had dinner with another couple. Our meals came out almost 10 minutes before their dinner. I had the chicken marsala. The chicken was hard, the potatoes were not cooked, and the vegetables were hard. My wife had the chicken parm. The pasta was cold and tomato sauce was watery. The waitress was probably over worked. She never came by to ask how things were. Offered no parm cheese for the zitis. Should have stayed home . read more

We enjoy Vazzys every once in a while its a neighborhood spot that i visit to watch some sports when wanting a nice cold Stella Artois and wings read more

I don't know why I expect anything different every time I have tried to go to the bar. The service is almost non-existant

Amazing food. Great decor and cozy. Downside it can be a little loud in there for some reason. Tends to be hard to hold conversations at times. read more

I typically don't write reviews unless I've had an exceptional or horrible experience. I made a reservation for a party of 8 of my fellow co workers. They refused to serve us alcohol because we had out order state IDs. We all are 23+. Joke is on them. We we're all sober and of age. No reason to not serve. we were going to have a 4 course meal. Ruined their tips for the night. read more

I have been to Vazzy's on various occasions in the past and enjoyed my experience. However, in the midst of the pandemic, they decided to offer a special for family meals. My family was super excited to see this special and we ordered at 2pm for a 6pm pick up. As stated in the instructions on the website, we were supposed to drive up and call to pay over the phone. When I arrived, the phone was busy- and it stayed that way for at least 45 minutes. When I finally did get through, I was told it would be at least another 20 minutes. I waited over an hour and a half to get my food- closer to 2 hours. It is completely unacceptable for this kind of service. If you are going to put out an offer, as a responsible, intelligent and smoothly run business, you would think it is common sense to only take the amount of orders that you are capable of handling. The service provided tonight is an easy way to lose lifelong customers who used to speak very highly of your restaurant. Quite honestly, if I could give 0 stars, I would. I truly hope that they make smarter business decisions in the future in order to avoid losing all of the customers that they disappointed today. read more

Was a part of a larger group last night that had a reservation. First sign it would be less than stellar was that they weren't set up for us as they were admittedly short-staffed. On a Sunday evening. Anyway, they ended up putting us in an empty, separate dining room to the side which was actually nice since we could enjoy conversation and didn't have to feel squeezed in and bumped into. Second sign was the rudeness of our waitress. Correction, we had two; one was amazing, the other, whom unfortunately seemed to be the main one, wasn't so much rude as she was brutally honest. We're a family with teenagers so only 2 of our large party were drinking. She seemed VERY annoyed by that as I'm sure she saw her tip dwindle. We didn't order many apps either because we know pasta is very filling and we were all looking forward to the meals. We hadn't received our bread yet and asked, to which she replied "don't worry, you'll get your free apps." Thinking we all heard her wrong, we let it slide. So the food. As she brought out the dishes, she loudly announced each dish and we had to tell her to whom they belonged. She slammed down the pasta in front of one guest (the one paying for the entire meal) and a few pieces of pasta with red sauce landed in her lap. It wasn't acknowledged. The waitress saw it happen, but just walked away. Thank goodness a napkin was in her lap. After the meals came, we were on our own. We had to literally stop her in her tracks to get grated cheese for the table, which should have been a no-brainer for an Italian restaurant. A bus boy brought the cheese and we didn't see our waitress again until she showed up with boxes for leftovers. Her only redemption was the birthday cupcake she brought out without being asked to. Not wanting to spoil and already-turned tense birthday dinner, we didn't complain, but trust me, we had to reign in one of our party from causing a scene. The service was unacceptable, the portions much smaller and the bolognese was dry and flavorless. Given each meal as almost $20 with no soup or salad, I definitely will not be back. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. The food is amazing. To start off with the table bread is fantastic! You get a hunk of warm bread but the best part is the slices of white pizza accompanied with cherry peppers and olives. The food is very delicious and authentic. We had the Saltwater Pie on our last visit. It was a white pizza with Calamari. Lobster, Shrimp and Scallops. We also shared a house sale which was amazing. Lightly dressed in a balsamic vinegarette. I have never had a visit I wasn't happy with. Great for large parties and single guests. read more

The bartender skipped us for three other people that walked in after us then told us the drinks would take 10 minutes as if that would turn us off enough to walk away and leave. Which we did. read more

We arrived to meet friends here as a half-way point from family holiday celebrations. Vazzy's is easily located off the highway, and is a very large restaurant. It was a quiet night, but also a little early for dinner. The bar area was busy, but the rest of the seating was fairly empty. We ordered a couple kids' dishes, a steak salad, chicken parmesan, and a vegetable pizza. The food arrived in a timely manner, and our waitress was adequate. The pizza was probably the best dish in the bunch - but the others were satisfying. Nothing special - but everything was good and fit the purpose. To raise my rating up I'd suggest that the restaurant expand their offerings of specialty pizzas and update the decor and tableware. read more

***BEST CHICKEN WINGS IN THE AREA*** -Dude Certified Vazzy's is so good it's not even funny. The best bread basket I've ever had; Cheesy bread, half cut loaf with hot peppers and olives. From the pizza to the pasta to the seafood, Vazzy's has a great menu and they offer ever changing specials for the repeater eater. I never get bored here. You should see how many wigs I can eat during a Jets game blazed on the AK. read more

This is my go-to standby eating place. They have something for everyone. The winners here are the steak salad with gorgonzola, linguini and clams (white) and the seafood combo over pasta. Food is always good, we use them exclusively for our catering needs and my sweet Stella (the best restaurant manager ever) is always great to us. We love her. Vazzy's is a great restaurant all around! read more

A terrific neighborhood Italian restaurant! Every neighborhood should have a restaurant like this! Upon entering, you immediately feel as if you are part of the neighborhood. As soon as you walk in, you smell dinner cooking, hear people talking and feel the friendly atmosphere. Dinner starts with a terrific bread basket. There are a number of interesting beers and house wines. Salads come in "family size" (3-4 people). We chose pasta dinners -- very fresh and perfectly cooked. You can also order pasta in "family size" and share around the table. The double lobster tail dinner and pizza we saw at nearby tables also looked wonderful. I only wish we actually lived in the neighborhood. If we did, we'd be regulars. read more

Definitely my go to place. Whether I'm at the bar or in the restaurant, I've never had a bad meal I've never had a bad server or bartender. The seafood is the freshest and best around, it never disappoints. The bread basket comes straight from the oven and it's amazing. Chicken Jordan is my favorite dish. read more

We had them cater for our baptism and they did a great job. The food was delicious and they were on time and helped with minor set up. They didn't just dump it at grandparents home and run off. At least they helped to unpack and put out the trays and the little heater things that go under the tray and then they zipped out of there. Grandma and grandpa chose this place and they weren't wrong. read more

Great job Lauren and company. Great ambience, good service and great food. The Linguine seafood pasta we had was chock-full of seafood, taste and quality. Mom and loved it and the service we had from Lauren made it all the better. Worth the stop if your up from Florida for a few days like we are or if a local. read more

I recently went to Vazzys on a Friday evening. We were seated fairly quickly but the service was slow. I always enjoy their complimentary cheesy bread. The last time I was there I ordered the saltwater pie which include varied seafood toppings. It had a weird aftertaste that just ruined it for me. Still, I decided to give their seafood another chance. This time I ordered their calamari and took advantage of their $25 twin lobster special. The calamari was good but lacked flavor. I ended up adding salt to the dish (which is something I typically avoid doing). The lobster came with a seafood stuffing that was better than expected. read more

Just returned from a dinner with a party of ten people. Do not go with a party large enough that the tip is built into your check if you are itemizing and splitting your check! The house rule is that they will give the whole party a single check and let everyone figure out what they owe. We spent the better part of 20 minutes doing the house's work. Service was very good, everything arrived in a very timely fashion, and our waitress was very responsive. As to the food, let me start by saying I avoid pasta, bread and high fat dressings and sauces as much as I can. My wife and I shared a house salad. Large and good. As much as we could eat. I had a special, salmon almandine. The fish was good, but hardly extraordinary, my wife enjoyed her Fettuccine Monte Carlo. As a broad statement, this is not a restaurant you choose for its gastronomic excellence. The menu is large, the food ordinary. It's not food you dissect and describe in detail. I doubt I will return there soon, as much because that cuisine is not one I would choose as because I am annoyed that we were forced to do what a machine could have done faster, easier and more accurately. read more

love the calamari- so may places serve this BUT get it wrong/over cooked. They do it right! I really like their cheesy garlicky crunchy bread too. Salads & pasta are fresh & ample. The bar is cool too, very nice inside- great to meet for lunch. never had the pizza- sorry. Atmosphere is always buzzing. Ample parking. read more

I visit this place today my wife order egg plant with vodka sauce they edit regular tomato sauce after she complains they clean the sauce off and edit the Vaca sauce and still left tomato sauce on it how disgusting is to clean the sauce what's the egg plant and then replace it back with what we originally ordered I myself ordered penny alla vodka and a penny was under cook the waitresses cues was they were extremely busy been there many times one of my favorite restaurants extremely disappointed with the Service read more

A great family dinner. We had warm cheesy bread brought to us almost as soon as we sat down. The spicy calamari was a delightful appetizer. Fettuccini carbonara was awesome with a glass of pinot grigio. Dessert was outstanding with cheesecake and canoli, wish I had room for an espresso but finally called it a night after all that food. A place you can bring your family and kids, a place to celebrate, a place to merrily feast. read more

My friend and I have dined here a few times since my last review on 03/24/2014; our most recent being tonight on 07/03/2014. Once again, the food was impeccable and the service stellar! The food, service, and ambiance of this establishment is truly superior to so many other restaurants we've experienced in and around Connecticut. It's almost as if Italia has been brought to Bridgeport. As we've continued to come back, and our experiences continue to remain excellent, we look forward to many more visits here. Tonight we had the Linguini with Clam Sauce, Insalata, and Prime Rib medium well (as requested) and all done to perfection. Thanks again to Johnny Vazzano and Christina! read more

Racist. Won't be back here EVER. Went here for a date with my boyfriend.. was served cold bread, and ignored for 15 minutes. I'm a server so I understand things can get hectic sometimes, but we were obviously being ignored. I was really hyped about the food, but I definitely won't be back here. ‍ read more

Wow Havnt been in awhile. Food was Awesome Wife had Mixed Seafood Saute and I did ziti with meatballs Fantastic everything And of course we couldnt finish . Our waitress a young lady Francis was as good as they get Thank You Vazzys read more

Only commenting about take out pizza: I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to pizza, but for the area, this is definitely not bad. The crust is nice and light with just a bit of crispness along the edges. The cheese came out perfectly cooked and the oil was kept to a minimum so they must use a higher quality cheese than some of the local places. We ordered our pizza over the phone and got there 15 minutes later to pick it up. It was just being slid into the box and in our short drive home, the pizza stayed hot and came out delicious. I'll definitely be going back here for pizza if I'm in the area. Milford lacks almost anything in terms of quality pizza unless you're in the mood for Colony's version. Otherwise I trek out into New Haven for true brick oven. But if you're looking to feed a bunch of kids for a party or just need something last minute - this is the best place for your money and they're quick. Highly recommend this place. read more

Stay away, unfortunately Vazzy's is not worth it. The food is okay at best, but the service is terrible. No one in this establishment makes you feel "at home" like it states on their menu. The waiter's walk around clueless and are not coordinated. I would understand if we entered on a busy weekend night, but we came in on a slow Sunday afternoon. Each waiter had 2-3 tables but somehow they were overwhelmed. Do not recommend and will not come back. Was expecting much better results from this 20+ year establishment. read more

Vazzy's will not disappoint!!! Really friendly staff and really great food! They have cheesy bread and baguettes for your pregame to your meal! who doesn't love carbs?!! The buffalo chicken pizza was very tastey and I am very particular about my pizza. I would definitely recommend! Super yummy!!!! read more

friendly warm atmosphere .. amazing service offering to create a special dish for my mother ~!on a busy Friday night! Highly recommend!!

Their pasta with chicken and vodka sauce is amazing! So good and so much food. One of my favorites

Horrible food! Service was deplorable.. nothing as it once was! The tomato sauce was bitter, pasta cold and mushy... need I say more??
