Its right on the corner of Chaoel and Olive. We walked from our hotel, so parking was not an issue for us. The minute we walked in, we loved the place. We were warmy greeted and the hostess said she recognized my handsome dining partner. Well, come to find out, the hostess is the partner in this wonderful restaurant with Chef Roland. We met them both before as we had frequented a Norwalk restaurant run by them that we loved and that sadly closed down sometime ago. They opened this spot in New Haven about 1 year ago. Lovely European vibe to the whole setting and menu. Open kitchen. Delicous offerings. We ordered the eggs Benedict with a croissant in place of the English Muffin. I was so happy they were able to accomodate this request. Also a full legitimate English Breakfast! Amazing. A moctail and a pot of loose leaf black tea. All was outstanding! Outstanding! The service was top notch and we never felt rushed. They have daily themed specials in addition to their regular menu offerings. Beatiful bar area. We are so happy to have found them and will be returning often! We highly recommend!

We ordered a bunch of different things off the menu and took our seats. The chicken lo mein was delicious with just a hint of spice. The bao buns were little clouds filled with spiced meats and we got two sets of dumplings, the spicy beef and the pork soup dumplings. All of it was amazing! Top that off with a beer and then some gelato to finish off the meal and it was perfect. Cannot wait to go back and try more things on the menu!

I had high hopes, but I'm sorry, I was pretty disappointed…read more Placed an order online today for lunch pick up. Arrived 5 minutes later than the estimated pick up time and was told it wasn't ready yet. The inside of the place is a little of a cleaned up improvement from when it was Farina's, but similar layout. The small pizza was basic/decent and hence the 2 stars. The chicken tenders were not tenders, they were dry sliced up chicken cutlets. The chicken parm sub....real bad. It gets it's own paragraph. The breaded coating fell off of the chicken before even taking a bite. The chicken itself was rubbery, maybe because it was frozen? Or did it need to cook longer? About 90% of the mozzarella cheese was stuck on the wrapper. The sauce left something to be desired. An inch of two of the sandwich on one end didn't even have any filling in it. For the three items, the total was about $40. Thumbs down.

They…read morewere actually very good tasting but I found it a little hard to eat, they kept breaking but they're nachos I guess. Onto my meal, I got the filet taco, boom shrimp taco, and the hot honey chicken. They were all so delicious and yummy, I can tell they took their time creating each taco into a masterpiece. I loved the boom shrimp the most, then the hot honey, and then the filet taco the least, but all of these were so delicious I loved it! The boom shrimp is a delicious trip into the savory tastes of shrimp and the sea. I loved the addition of tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and avocados, drizzled in ranch. The filet taco is a great feast of filet steak and crispy crunchy onions. Lastly the hot honey chicken was great with purple lettuce, corn, pickles, and more fresh delicious veggies. I loved all the tacos so much and if I come back to the area I'd definitely come back, a must go to! Service/ambiance: First off the waiters came to us quickly with a nice refreshing water pitcher with lemons. It was a nice day out but not too hot, inside was nice and cool with the ac but not too cold, a nice balance. Not too loud of a place but nice and chill with a light speaker with music playing in the background. This in my opinion is a huge upgrade to the last location in Northport, this is much bigger and it looks cleaner. Something that stood out to me was that there was no men's sign on the bathroom, but there was on the ladies. I don't know if they're discriminated or something, but that was something, but besides that the bathrooms were very squeaky clean.

But my 100% Italian friend enthusiastically asked "you have cannoli, right?" The young waitress looked a bit flummoxed and said that they did not. He quipped that he thought that was "illegal in NJ"--not a hint of a smile. Another in our party asked for coffee after the meal, same waitress, "we're OUT of coffee"...at 7:00 on a Friday in a not-full restaurant. So--maybe a little training on how to interact with customers pleasantly and also work needed on adequately provisioning for the weekend. Clean up those issues and it could be a 5-star review. Given those issues, 4 stars is generous.

I had the pleasure of visiting Ritrovo for the first time today with my business partner while…read morepicking up lunch for one of our physician offices, and I can't say enough about our experience. From the moment we walked in, Jaime, who was working behind the bar, made us feel genuinely welcome. He was kind, personable, and attentive in a way that's becoming increasingly rare. He even brewed fresh iced tea from scratch with tea bags and hot water while we waited. It's the little things that leave a lasting impression. And somehow, even the club soda tasted exceptional; maybe because everything about the atmosphere felt intentional and welcoming. I ordered the burger, and although they were out of gluten-free buns, they happily served it over their gluten-free penne pasta instead. It was such a thoughtful accommodation. Ironically, because my day in pharmaceutical sales became so busy, I never had a chance to eat my lunch. I brought it home, reheated it that evening, and that's when something unexpected happened. The very first bite of their homemade sauce stopped me in my tracks. Instantly, I was transported back to my grandfather's kitchen. I haven't tasted a sauce that reminded me of his in over 15 years. For a moment, I wasn't sitting at my own table; I was back with him. I found myself slowing down, savoring every bite, grateful for a memory I didn't know a meal could bring back. Great restaurants don't just serve food. They create experiences, care for people, and sometimes awaken memories you thought were gone forever. Thank you, Jaime, and thank you to everyone at Ritrovo. You turned an ordinary workday into something I'll remember for a very long time. I'll absolutely be back.

Smaller establishment with 7 tables to choose from. Has dedicated parking lot off the street to use and handicap ramp to use for access if needed. Plenty to choose from on the menu for dine in or take out and halal as well. Staff is very friendly and able to answer any questions needed on the menu or for the specials of the day as they rotate. I can't wait to come back and try some other dishes! I had Kebah, labneh, fahsa with fresh tanoor bread and a pistachio cake to finish off the meal. Oh don't forget the juices available either!! The mint lemon looked refreshing, but I settled on the avocado banana that was amazing! Great flavor profile and the tanoor bread reminded me of time spent abroad enjoying these items in country!

I really like middle eastern and mediterranean food that I always go to these food places whenever…read moreI can. The same reason that led me to try Mandeez. I have read good reviews about the place and it is unique in that it is Yemeni/Mediterranean. I did take out and chose the following: Okra Stew, Chicken Shawarma Over Rice Platter, and a slice of the Pistachio cake. The Okra Stew was very flavorful. I do not eat okra but my husband does, yet I tried the sauce and it was really tasty. I ended up eating a few pieces of the potatoes and carrots in the stew, just to enjoy the sauce. The Chicken Shawarma was okay--not my best order. The chicken is not dry yet the rice was very greasy for my taste. Every spoonful, I could taste the grease. It was not for me. The pistachio cake is delicate and scrumptious. Not too sweet. I might go back and try another dish but would make sure to ask that the rice not be greasy.
