    Spicy avocado  bowl
    Anika T.

    Super cute hole in wall spot for breakfast and lunch. Authentic wholesome food. The corned beef hash was not canned and homemade definitely . The has browns were nice and crispy and had great flavor. My friend had the spicy sausage bowl and the sausage tasted super fresh and the bowl had amazing beans and eggs as well. The service was impeccable our tea and coffee cups were never empty Parking is plentiful as they are located in a shopping plaza They take credit card We will definitely be back

    Asada Quesadilla

    Hands down the best food in Monroe. Whether I order traditional cafe types of food or the Latin dishes, everything is spectacular. Today was Asada Quesadilla and Vanilla Waffle with berries. We love this place.

    Chilaquiles breakfast on a lazy Saturday  ; )

    Amazing Chilaquiles and Mexican coffee! I'm set for the weekend. Waitresses are super nice (muy amables).

    Baguette breakfast sandwich

    Very cute and clean-looking inside. All three things that we ordered (breakfast bowl with steak, beans and guacamole among others; baguette breakfast sandwich and a belgian waffle with fresh fruits) were quickly brought, looked inviting and tasted great. I'm so glad we have such a nice, local brunch place, as we usually had to hoof it to other towns for similar experiences). I wish them success and we plan to come often.

    French toast with fresh fruit and fresh whipped cream?! Yes please!

    WORTH A TRIP!!! The food quality is excellent. Amazing brunch options. When I say excellent, I mean: perfectly prepared, seasoned, and presented. I like my poached eggs well done, they do it perfectly. The Mexican dishes are DELICIOUS. Never had better in CT. The service is fantastic. Prompt, polite, and always anticipating needs. More like fine dining service. My only wish: better coffee. It's not awful, but it's not great. An awesome cup of joe would increase my visits to weekly! Prices are reasonable.

    In side central.

    Food and service and quality outstanding homemade salsa and spices great place for breakfast and lunch nice atmosphere love it.

    Food was great and service was also wonderful. We went the morning after Thanksgiving and it wasn't busy. There are signs around that say they would prefer you to pay cash. Overall a good experience and would recommend for breakfast/brunch.

    Regular menu

    Modern diner-style place with some Mexican menu highlights. They have outside seating, roll up windows for fresh air inside and a breakfast counter too. I had the chilaquiles which were great. There were plenty of good choices on the menu - and I'll definitely be back. My daughter enjoyed her eggs and toast and it's definitely a kid friendly spot.

    One of Monroe hidden "Gems".. Great food, comfortable atmosphere and a nicely designed restaurant space. Simple but modern.

    There's free valet here but I'd bring cash to tip the valet personnel. It was a nice touch…read moreconsidering their parking lot is small and full. The interior of this place is incredibly beautiful and so inviting. I sat at the bar and saw many items on the menu that looked so good. I was in the mood for seafood and really wanted their zuppa di pesce but didn't want a whole portion because I know I wouldn't be able to finish it. The bartender told me that I could order a half order which was incredibly exciting. I checked out the rest of the venue and the outdoor area in the back which was kind of magical. I tried a few mocktails, they were good, the coconut one was best. The dish I ordered was delicious, as well as the bread served with olive oil that had roasted garlic in it. I loved everything about this experience. I learned that they have an all you can eat buffet every Sunday for only 40 dollar. Can't wait to try it. Thank you Osteria!

    The ambiance is still very nice. We went on a Monday evening so it wasn't very loud, but I can see…read morehow it could get so because we had a table of very loud women next to us. Can't imagine if we multiplied that by any additional tables. I just want to bring up the bread. Such a wasted opportunity to serve something so inexpensive that has such an impact on the overall experience. The bread is bafflingly bad. It's dry, and hard and tastes like nothing. The garlic infused oil that should improve the old stale bread is served with the hard skin still on the garlic. That's not edible and it's also not easy to remove once it's all mixed together. A small complaint about the lasagna. It's mostly cheese and very difficult to find any pasta among the soupy cheese and tomatoes. The taste is good but it's a bit of a rip off to serve something like lasagna with one or maybe two layers. The chicken parm was still delicious as was the polenta appetizer. Service was friendly and prompt. If they could just fix the bread and garlic situation and maybe bulk up the lasagna with some noodles, we'd be back.
