This place is constantly making the best foods. The food is stupendous, delicious, flavorful, fun,…read moreprofessionally made, wonderfully crafted with fresh fresh fresh ingredients. They even pop into the grocery store next door to them frequently to buy fresh ingredients as they prepare food, nothing frozen or sub-quality. Almost unheard of in the dining experience today. The chef who prepares the food is always making the most mouth watering, addicting meals and appetizers. The food looks equally delicious. It smells amazing. All made to order and the portions are generous. They are so friendly. We have literally never had a bad experience with them in over 4 years. Even if a mistake was made on an order, they have always been courteous and apologetic, they immediately remedy the problem in which everyone is happy. I just love the owners...I think Brewster is very lucky to have them in their town. We have several favorites on their menu but honesty, we haven't found a dud yet. Their hollandaise sauce is scrumptious and addictive!! I could eat it on an apple. The salads are fresh and creative. The specials are always a treat. For the prices, which seem a little high....i don't think they are. They provide fresh food, prepared by a legit professional who has common sense and a great knowledge of flavors and flavor combos. They give generous potions and you never feel like you were ripped off when devouring their creations. I would eat here daily if we could. I love supporting small local business and I love supporting good people just as much. They are the best. I'm getting hungry thinking about the waffles, chili and hollandaise sauce.

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 have honestly never had truly fresh pasta straight from a pasta shop before, and I can't believe…read morewhat I've been missing! The owner was absolutely amazing--so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain his techniques and even showed me how he cuts the fresh pasta right there in the shop, depending on whatever style you want. I was especially impressed with his gluten-free pasta. I have family members who are gluten-free--or try to eat gluten-free--so finding a place that actually takes the time to explain their gluten-free options was a huge plus for me. Of course, I ended up buying way too much stuff , including some of his prepared meals from the freezer. I tried the chicken cacciatore, and WOW. Even though it came frozen, once I baked it, it tasted like something I had just made fresh at home. The chicken was delicious and that sauce was ON POINT! And then, as if I hadn't already bought enough, he sent me home with a couple of samples of his fresh cannolis. You really can't go wrong with that! Such a great little find. Fresh pasta, great food, and an owner who clearly takes pride in what he does. I'll definitely be back!

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!

Right near last exit of NY 22 before you get to 684. Great dinner spot en route to NYC from Berkshires.

Ick. I'm sorry but we spent a fortune here last week on take out and it was a disaster on all…read morelevels. It was suppose to be a fun girls night and we all opted for pizzas, appetizers, bread knots, ect. 1. The wait was extended about 30 minutes longer than predicted. But that's ok, things happen and if they are making sure we get fresh good, hot foods...we will wait. But they weren't! 2. The order was wrong. We got over charged and wrong food was delivered or made. Both were not in our favor in the slightest. There was no sense in ruining more of our evening by sending the kid back with the messed items so, he got a big tip and we sent him in his way. 3. This one is major and the reason we won't eat there again...all 3 pizza were raw dough, soggy crust that was undercooked and a pale whiteish tan color on the crust. It was flavorless, badly made, just ugly. That's petty sounding but pizza generally looks delicious but this looked like it had been dropped. Not to mention all 3 boxes were stacked on each other in the delivery drivers car and the stream of pizzas softened the cardboard boxes so they collapsed in on each other. How this kid couldn't see or resolve the issue before he brought us squished pizzas is beyond me. 4. But the taste, right? That's what makes or breaks a place. Broken, it's just broken. The dough, which is specifically the pizza and the garlic knots, was not even good enough to be used in the marinara sauce. The pizzas were doughy, gooey, flavorless, unsalted, not yeasty, no chew to the dough and it was not a good vessel to carry toppings. The cheeses were greasy, rubbery and waxy. That fake cheap bulk bought cheese that only the cheapest places buy...the cheap restaurants really seem to like buying a using cheap cheeses that the customers don't enjoy and that make any effort to prepare good food automatically hit below the mark consistently. It isn't that difficult to make fresh mozzarella cheese to use on your dishes. It's lazy. How lazy is it to be a real Italian pizza joint and everything tastes bland and like the place is doomed. The cook would seem soulless and depressed by what he or she is putting out for public consumption. So they got a ton of money for a bunch of garbage that was delivered in squashed boxes and we were overcharged for food we ended by throwing away. Everyone tried everything and no one enjoyed any of it. I don't recommend wasting money here unless you looking for expensive badly made garbage. We are all getting squeezed to death financially but I refuse to support a local small business that doesn't care about it customers anymore.

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.

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.

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!

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.
