Tip number 2) Water should be brought to the table as soon as possible, especially if a coughing customer requests it. Don't snap at the customer because she made a simple request. Prices have gone up and customer service has gone down, so we will like pass on this place from now on.

I absolutely love this place. Delightful sauces, amazing fresh pasta, authentic peppers and…read moreItalian pastries and cookies remind me of my old home. They also host awesome pasta-making classes and pastry-making classes too! Everyone here is so friendly. I recently came here to order fresh pasta for a luncheon I was hosting. Adam listened to how many guests I was having, what their preferences generally were, and how many courses I wanted to have, and he helped me pick the perfect things for the party. He suggested and I went with a pound of fresh fettucine made that morning--it was a colossal hit! We also used fresh vodka sauce that he made at the store, and we took some gluten free ravioli and frozen goods for later. It's kind of rare to find pasta houses like this where you can plan basically any Italian meal. Don't miss it!

Found this Newtown gourmet spot because they have many gluten free options…read more PARKING - the location is in a very small commercial plaza. There are a few spots but depending when you come it could be tight Also the spots have those cement barriers so if your car is lower to the ground just be careful AMBIANCE - inside the store is very clean and nicely designed PRODUCTS - lots of interesting gourmet items and a plethora of gluten free choices. We came for the De Pumas frozen pasta. For gluten free this brand is about as close to the real thing as you can get CHOCOLATE - they have some nice stuff including Bridgewater bars. Their sugar free ones are really excellent SERVICE - the lady at the counter was cordial and congenial. Extremely welcoming PRICES - it's a gourmet shop so the prices are pretty high. Not for the thin wallet but you do get quality at the premium price

What a gem to find off Rt 84. We were on our way home from our daughter's graduation from…read moreQuinnipiac and we still had almost 2 hours to get home. We did a search for food near us on the highway and this restaurant popped up with only 5 miles to go. So glad we stopped. We ordered wraps to go. The gentleman behind the counter was so friendly to talk to while we waited for the food to go. We were also pleasantly surprised to find delicious fries tucked in with the wraps. We really didn't look to see if they came with anything. I also last minute asked for 2 more sandwiches that looked so good in the case so I didn't have to cook dinner when we got home. Looking forward to eating those later. I'm sure they will be just as delicious as the wraps we ate.

Shhhh I will tell you one of the best kept secrets. Did you ever wonder how the homemade pasta is…read moreso delicious at your favorite restaurant? Most of the really wonderful restaurants get their homemade pasta from a little shop founded in 1985 on 78 Fenwick St. in West Haven Connecticut called Durante's Pasta. You too can now duplicate your favorite pasta dishes! Durante's sells dry pasta and frozen pasta and the variety is absolutely astonishing. There are my favorite dry pastas which includes pappardelle, fettuccine, linguine, spaghetti and capellini. The frozen pastas that are totally irresistible are their spinach manicotti, cheese ravioli, lobster ravioli, and cheese tortellini. My newest favorite item is their homemade marinara sauce that can go up against anybody's grandmothers' recipe. It is divine. All good chefs know that perfect meals begin with the best ingredients. Your guests will think you are the most phenomenal host using these ingredients from Durante's!

Single-person / gender neutral restroom. Can't beat all that! Vibes are home-y, service is kind, and the seasonal decor adds a lovely touch of fun and warmth - especially if you go around Halloween (even the bathroom is decked out!).

Wife had the veal cutlet parm and spaghetti. She loved the veal but was a little sketchy with the spaghetti, said it tasted a little off. I had the rigatoni Bolognese with a side of meatballs. I am usually not a big fan of Italian meatballs but there meatballs are actually pretty good. (My wife does make better) Their rigatoni are short, fat little things that are outstanding. Good gravy. Service was excellent and knowledgeable. Atmosphere was a little noisy (bridal shower in the back room) but other than that, I would not hesitate to go back.
