    Such a beautiful restaurant. Gina was our server and she was fantastic! She answered all of our questions and saved me from ordering a drink I most likely would not have enjoyed. She gently steered me in the right direction for my taste. I ordered the cranberry and orange juice spritzer which was delicious. I also ordered one of their specials which was the red snapper. Everything on my plate was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband ordered the Chicken Siciliano. I don't have pictures because he was too impatient to wait and dug right into his dish which looked absolutely decadent. We were both very pleased with our entrées. We shared a piece of their flourless chocolate cake. I can't stop thinking about it and wish I had ordered one to go. Vespucci Restaurant in Cheshire is the perfect spot for a family dinner, date night, or eating out with your friends. They have a lot to choose from and as you can see they have gluten free options that will not disappoint. There are three different parking lots you can choose to park... plenty of spots. You might want to make reservations online or over the phone if you're looking to dine out on a typical busy night. I can't wait to go back and hope we get Gina again! Well done as always!

    Good service, good food, good atmosphere. Specials were good. I'd recommend the salads. Huge and delicious. Waitress was very pleased and prices couldn't be beat.

    my first time here. had the best server, wish i could remember her name. she was a doll. nice variety on the menu from apps to desserts. my dad suggested this place after spending an entire day in new haven trying to organize some reno materials for reno work. he ordered the puttanesca, & omg. finally somebody who gets this right. my stomach was acting up so i had chicken tortellin soup. they did it right because the tortellini was not falling apart in the soup. i only tasted his puttenesca & it was perfect. i cant tell you how many lackluster dishes ive had of this in other places. it's the balance of capers, anchovies, KALAMATA olives which everyone seems to overlook, was a PERFECT blend. the staff were all very friendly. & meal was delicious. next time Id like to bring a better appetite, bec everything that was passing us looked delicious! the stuffed shells looked amazing.

    The seating in this restaurant is hit and miss. You may get lucky and get a booth or you may get a table in the line of bathroom traffic or you may have to deal with a server standing too close to your table to wait on another. We never received our appetizer, but the food we received was nothing to write home about. The server never really checked on us or asked us if we needed anything or would like another beverage. I wouldn't go back.

    Every couple of years we give this place a try but always remember why we don't come here as often. We just do not love it, but it's not horrible! We got the arancini to start, it was very good. The bread was so good with the dipping oil, and the side salads were a good size, fresh and tasty. Then the meals - the chicken Parmesan was ok, a little skimpy on the meat compared to other places. This is a preferred meal wherever we go so we critique it. The taste was ok, but something about the sauce, just wasn't there for us. Next, the stuffed shrimp - large shrimp and really stuffed. Very salty, and the stuffing tasted like Stove Top. The service was excellent and our waitress was very nice. It's a very clean restaurant and overall nice environment. The takeout was jamming so obviously the locals are supporting this restaurant! Maybe we need to try something else on the menu!

    As an international boarding student nearby this is my second dining hall. I love the food here so much that I will come here twice a week though it cost so much. I mean take a look at the pictures. it is just so delicious. If I say Vespucci's is the ranked second restaurant in Cheshire, nobody dares to claim that they are the best. The service is also really nice, they will check to refill your drink every time they pass by. The seats seems there is not a big room for you to sit in but it's actually very comfortable because it's a sofa and you got plenty of legroom. But one thing, one thing that I wouldn't really want to give it a five star because sometimes, for example, a Saturday evening, this place will get so overcrowded that you will even wait like 30 minutes to take your order. But I say it's worth waiting and I give it a five star because I want everyone to know that this is the best restaurant in Cheshire.

The tables are very crowded together. THE BATHROOMS ARE DIRTY, NO TOILET PAPER OR PAPER TOWELS IN THE LADIES ROOM AND STUFF ALL OVER THE FLOOR IN THE MEN'S ROOM. NOW FOR THE FOOD!! Veal Milanese, not too bad but not a hint of lemon, not even a wedge on the plate. For $32 Shrimp and crab special, FIRST...NO FLAVOR WHAT SO EVER!!! Totally under cooked pasta, (I am Italiano, I know Al Dente) totally WAY OVER COOKED SHRIMP and some tuna fish type crab meat you had to dig for to get on the fork. JUST AN ALL AROUND TERRIBLE DISH. For $38 Then, after expressing to the staff and talking to the owner about a dish we ate a few bites because it was so horrible, it was ignored by them and we had to pay for a $40 dish that was SHIT. SHE, the owner who honestly looked more like a poorly dress hostess, had the nerve to come back to our table, put her hand on my girls shoulder with a, "are you alright" comment rather than EVER ASKING if there was anything she could do to correct this culinary disaster. THIS PLACE ISN'T EVEN WORTH THE TWO STARS I HAVE GIVEN IT. It was very difficult to understand the mostly Spanish based staff.... if that doesn't scream Italian I don't know what does...However the deserts were not bad but almost certainly come in a box on a truck and not made in house. BOTTOM LINE IS, THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT ITALIAN DINING EXPERIENCES IN CONNECTICUT...DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PLACE LIKE I DID.

It was a Wednesday night. We noticed that the menu online is not the same as the menu there. We were both happy and disappointed at the same time with the menu change. There was an appetizer we plan to get From the online menu, but was not there at the menu at the restaurant. Two of us did order food that we did not see on the menu online so we were both happy that we were able to order gnocchi. That is pretty much.. I did take a picture of the menu and posted it here in my review so people could see the actual menu. The pasta comes with three choices of sauce, a marinara sauce, a pink sauce, or a Bolognese. My friend ordered the gnocchi with the pink sauce and absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure what to get, but I got the marinara sauce. I was not aware at the time, but the marinara sauce is actually very spicy. I really loved it and was happy with my choice. My friend tried it and thought it was too spicy for her but really loved her choice. My other friend, very much enjoyed the linguine and clams. No bread is offered complementary. Small salads did come complementary with the dinners. Overall, we were all happy and we all would like to come again.
