The staff is very nice, greeting guests kindly as they walked in. We had to wait about 20 min, which is expected on a Friday evening. That said - being a restaurant, we'd have preferred to have a real service experience vs ordering at the counter & getting a number, which felt more like a food court. All up- The place is nice, pizzas are delicious, and the staff very friendly. All up a good experience - highly recommend!

I don't think I've ever seen a place that advertises itself as a pizza destination have as large of a non-pizza menu as Countryside Pizza and Restaurant does. They are a full blown diner with every breakfast dish 9served all day) under the sun plus, salads, wraps, club sandwiches, burgers (half pounders, by the way), fried seafood, grinders, pasta, Italian dishes, Greek dishes, and pizzas. Seriously, this place is incredible. I took advantage of their breakfast all day option and picked up a Breakfast Bowl with home fries, crumbled sausage, jalapenos, onions, a sunny side up egg, a slice of bread, and a side of salsa. Man oh man was everything great. Service was great too, with friendly smiling counter folks everywhere. Whatever the time of day is when your hunger pangs strike, you really can't go wrong with driving out to Harwinton and eating at the Countryside, a very sweet local place without a hint of pretension.

Today was the first time I've come in for breakfast and I'm kicking myself for not stopping in sooner! I'll get to the amazing food in a minute, first I'll say that everyone was so kind and welcoming! The wait wasn't bad at the time I went, but I've heard of people having to wait a bit. So either go early or later than the typical 9am breakfast rush if you don't want to wait. I was able to get two seats at the counter top right away and moved to a table once one opened up. Inside is cute and cozy. Not a ton of seating and this isn't a place to sit and linger after you've finished eating but we didn't feel rushed at all! Now for the food! The chicken and waffles was excellent! It's made with pearl sugar waffles which are the traditional Belgian waffle! The chicken was crispy on the outside while still being moist! Also got the biscuits and gravy which was very flavorful without being too spicy and biscuits were great! Eggs were slightly overcooked! Overall everything was great and this will become one of my regular breakfast joints!

We've been struggling to find a great restaurant in Torrington. Somewhere where the service and the…read morefood are excellent and well worth the price- Sasso's exceeded our expectation. We live around the area kept saying to ourselves throughout the night "why haven't we been here before? We've been missing out on such good food" There seems to be a lot of seating both inside and outside so that's a plus since we were able to get seated right away without a reservation on a Friday night. (they were already pretty busy) Our waitress was so friendly and super attentive even with all the tables she had. Now on to the food! Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. You could tell that whoever is cooking genuinely cares about the food that is coming out of that kitchen. To start we ordered the Spinach Artichoke Dip w/ Garlic Parm Crostini and the Antipasto Salad. (Not pictured) Everything came out in great portions to share and even the crostinis were packed full of flavor which brought the dip up another notch. The salad was fresh, colorful and absolutely delicious. For our entree we both ordered the Steak Frites-cooked medium. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was herby, savory and even had a little bite to it-it was phenomenal. To add to the mix the frites had parm & garlic to make them even tastier To finish, after a very long day- we knew that an affogato would just finish this meal off perfectly and we were right. It was delicious and the candied walnuts were such a nice touch to add for texture. (My husband now has a new favorite dessert) Needless to say we will absolutely be back, and more than likely bringing many others in tow to share an absolutely wonderful meal!

I was visiting some spots in Bantam and Litchfield, and I decided to drive to Sasso's to get a takeout Portobello Burrata Pizza. Sasso's is next to the Warner Theater in the heart of downtown Torrington. Cool outside area. Classic inside with lots of wood. My pizza was ready on time. My limited interactions with the staff were all good. I tried a couple slices before I drove the rest of the pizza home to share with my family. Loved the thin crust. Good crisp, but still good chewy too. Some char. The toppings were good. They smartly packed the arugula on the side without me even asking. The arugula definitely would have had a tendency to wilt on the drive home if it steamed inside the box with a hot pizza. I was impressed with Sasso's and I'll be back. 4.5 Stars

Ordering was easy especially when it came to customization. We needed it delivered since we were tied up with moving etc. Took a loooong time and was delivered a good 15 minutes after the estimated time (was a 45 min wait for the pizza and delivery). Keep in mind.... Drop off location was less than 4 miles from the shop. That was the only frustrating thing- next time we will 1000% pick up to save time. The pizzas themselves were great! The cheeseburger pizza is my personal favorite but we got the Works and a plain cheese. No complaints with the food.

In fact, it was common in the 80's and 90's to see multiple generations working to provide their customers the best... I had that experience yesterday. Upon walking into the spotless dining room, I saw Nonna/Mom/Great Aunt in the first booth looking over the operation while the next generation was busy in the kitchen - and working in concert with the youngest family member who was working the floor. Fantastic. So friendly, so heartwarming. I also watched as "regulars" came in for their dinner. They ALL stopped by the kitchen entry to say hello to all employees and each employee greeted them by name. I hope to one day achieve this status. The food was good. I had a side salad, fried calamari, and a small pizza (half plain, half pepperoni and ricotta). Everything was fresh, tasty, and really well cooked. I was very happy to be a part of a dinner service there. I am looking forward to trying an entree - I have a craving for veal... maybe later this week. My only knock on my experience is that their sauce is very simple, and, in my opinion, lacks a little tang to stand up to the pizza cheese and toppings. But the crust was almost clinically perfect. My half pepperoni and ricotta side was slightly floppy in the middle - but I have to take responsibility for that as it was a tough order. Each half of my pizza cooks much differently. The plain cheese side was perfect. I can't wait to go back.
