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

Our server must have been very new since it took him over 10 minutes to get our drink order and then we waited another 10 minutes for our drinks.

Food was very disappointing, nothing like it used to be. Other large groups in the room that were seated after us, got their drinks, appetizers and food before us.

Our server, Rafael, could not have been better. He is professional, efficient and just lovely. He went above and beyond and made our lunch even nicer. My friends and I will be back again soon.

So, my wife and I, along with our tween daughter, visited Hilltop Kitchen on a whim last Saturday…read more First impressions were wonderful. The dining room was empty as we came early, and it looked beautiful. The entire restaurant, to the eye, is absolutely a vibe. There was one server on shift at the time and she was very nice and welcoming. We had very high hopes for the meal to come. We were fairly disappointed. It was during a brunch service. Initially ordered the calamari as an appetizer. Yes, calamari as a brunch app is kind of strange however since it was available I ordered it. I typically order this wherever I go, because I execution-wise, it's not the easiest thing to prepare correctly. This app was tiny, as in the serving size. Additionally the calamari itself was super small as well. No nice meaty rings. No crispy tentacles. Just a greasy mess. The dish purports the dipping sauce to be that of a fra diavolo, it was not. It was more like a marinara with chunky bits of aromatics and perhaps a bit of crushed red pepper. It was also very pricey given everything. Even if it were perfect, still on the pricey side. At the same time my daughter ordered French toast. For $18. We are talking $6 a slice of brioche. Wild business, that. As mains, my wife ordered the avocado toast. Which she actually seemed to enjoy, although the bread was soggy, and the other items on the plate severely lacking. I ordered the "lobster" cake eggs Benedict. If this was lobster, then I'm the Mother Theresa. It was, by my palate overly processed canned crab meat. At best, overly processed lobster meat, but I highly doubt that given the taste, color, and texture. The CRAB cake itself was meh, the accompanying potato hash was okay, and the hollandaise sauce was passable if not good. We ordered drinks as well. My lemon drop martinis were pretty good. My wife was dissatisfied with her margarita, then ordered a dirty martini that was okay. We walked out with a tab of nearly $200. To say it was worth the money would be absurd. I hate to be so blatantly honest with this review, but this experience (food and drink-wise) was not one I would recommend.

The staff was friendly and they attempted to accommodate my allergies as best as possible. I got the fish and my husband got the pizza. Everything was good. The fish was def made differently than any other place I've ever had it, but the skin was so nice and crispy that it gave it such wonderful flavor. It was very packed in there, I'm glad I made a reservation. It's an open ambiance, semi-dark, handicap friendly since everything is on first floor and they have enough spacing between all tables, and they have outside eating as well. Drinks were wonderful. Great place

Slice Mob made another stop today, this time at Mangia Mi in Sandy Hook…read more What a great afternoon. From the minute we walked in, Chef Rebecca came over and welcomed all of us. You could tell right away this wasn't just another restaurant. It's her place, and she's proud of it. I really liked the vibe. Big open dining room, an open kitchen where you can watch everything being made, and family pictures all over the walls. It just feels comfortable. The pizza is New Haven-style apizza. The tomato pie was excellent. The San Marzano tomatoes really stand out. Nice fresh tomato flavor, a great bake, plenty of crunch, and a finishing dusting of grated cheese that pulled it all together without getting in the way. The cheese pizza was exactly what a cheese pizza should be. Sometimes the simplest pie tells you the most about a pizzeria, and this one didn't disappoint. My favorite was Donnie's Hot Pepper & Mushroom. The peppers brought just enough heat without taking over. The mushrooms added a nice earthy flavor that balanced everything out. Every bite just worked. One thing that stood out was that everything is made from scratch. You can taste it. Nothing felt like it came out of a bag or was rushed. Mangia Mi is the kind of place you leave already thinking about what you're ordering next time. We only scratched the surface today. I definitely want to come back and work my way through more of the pizzas, fresh pastas, seafood, and whatever specials Chef Rebecca is putting together. Thanks to Chef Rebecca and her team for taking such good care of the Slice Mob. We'll be back.
