I was really looking forward to some delicious, juicy sea scallops. My friend ordered the Veal Parmesan for $34.95. It wasn't TOTALLY burnt to a crisp, but almost. The service was extremely slow. It was almost 45 minutes between ordering and receiving our food. It was one of the worst meal experiences we've ever had anywhere. However, the waiter was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was very nice. There is indoor and outdoor patio seating. It was our first time to try Buon Appetito Ristorante & Pizzeria in North Stonington. We would mostly likely not go back.

Was stoked to try the gnocchi with burrata and it was like they forgot the burrata. The rigatoni smelled AWFUL (maybe it's the sausage seasoning) and we barely got through half of our meals before deciding to never come back. The bar back was incredibly attentive though. TBH would be surprised if they stay here for long, many other solid Italian restaurants in the area.

This time, we left happy, and full! Garlic knots with marinara, on point! My husband enjoyed his Caesar salad with house made dressing. And the pizza was delicious! The spinach and artichokes had just enough flavor not to be bland. The ricotta was a nice layer - not thick- and flavorful. The crust was light and airy, just enough crunch. Maybe it could have used a drizzle of olive oil after cooking, but it was still very good. Our server, Cassie, has been there for a long time, and was right on top of everything. It was slow... Mid Sunday afternoon, but we know they can get busy. There is a large parking lot, as well as outdoor seating. If new to the area, you could miss it... The plaza sign is covered with overgrowth, so watch closely!!

This pizza spot has been my family's go-to since I was in high school, and coming back home for a…read morevisit meant we had to order from here. The nostalgia was real, and I was hoping the food would still taste like it used to -- and it totally delivered. We got a large Meat Mania pizza, a small buffalo chicken pizza, and 6 garlic knots. The Meat Mania was packed with all the classic meats and had a great ratio of toppings to cheese. The buffalo chicken pizza had a nice balance of spice and tang -- not overwhelming, just right. The garlic knots were more on the well-done side this time, so they were a bit chewy and harder to tear apart than usual, but they still had a rich buttery garlic flavor that paired really well with the pizza. I wouldn't say they were perfect this time, but I still enjoyed them. Everything tasted just like I remembered -- the kind of comfort food that hits different when you haven't had it in years. If they keep up this level of quality, I'll keep coming back every time I visit home.

I had high hopes for Andiamo, but sadly was extremely disappointed. I am new to the Mystic area and…read moreseeing that this restaurant rated so highly I was excited to order some takeout with my daughter after moving some things into our new apartment. Ordering was very easy online, even though the prices seemed a bit high. We ordered $109 worth of food...Arancini ($16), garlic bread with cheese($16), Penne al Vodka with sautéed chicken($32), and the Alfredo with chicken cutlet($38). I was expecting a lot for prices like these. The Arancini were 5 pieces the size of golf balls and the flavor was ok, not worth $16, out garlic bread with cheese ($16) was left out of our order, the penne vodka with sautéed chicken ($32) was dry and there were 5 small pieces of chicken, and the baked penne chicken Alfredo had broken sauce, full of grease and almost inedible...I threw out most of it. I expected so much more from this establishment. The parking lot was packed and parking just to get takeout was challenging, but the food and prices were amazingly disappointing. We may try their pizza to see if that is any better, but I would not recommend the pasta dishes. I can see charging g prices like that if the pasta was homemade, but even that is a stretch. 3 stars is generous

Rhode Island Calamari- very different from any calamari I've ever had. The calamari was cooked perfectly very tender and it wasn't chewy at all just not my cup of tea. Mozzarella Di Bufala- Definitely the most disappointing dish of all. 13 dollars for 4 small bites??? Absolutely not worth it. Now they claim the espresso martini is the best in Mystic.?? Not sure how many bars are in Mystic but if you're claiming you have the best espresso martini it should be amazing and it just wasn't. I've had hundreds of espresso martinis in my life and this one was just average. Sorry but completely overhyped.

We have been here a lot at least once a year when we do our annual Mystic trip for the last 5…read moreyears. Sadly this has gone downhill each of the last couple of visits. I don't like leaving bad reviews but this one is deserved. First of all the food is amazing but their "summer" menu seems far more limited than the non-summer menu. After being in Italy a few weeks ago this place is on par with many of the meals over there. It definitely has become drinks are fast to come out but food is slow. This has been true the last 2 times both in August. We had to ask our waitress for several things multiple times. It was a running joke that we asked for more bread 3x, butter 2x, another glass of wine 1x, and a side of sauce for the kids meal 1x. None of these ever showed up except for the wine. Then she disappeared for 20 minutes and never asked about our meals. Also, the kicker is one of the previous pics from 5 years ago is from the penne vodka with added chicken. We asked to add chicken again and for $9 we got one tiny thin cutlet which doesn't even compare. We love coming to this area but it might be our last time since there are so many good places. One other thought is when we first came in 2021 there was an older gentleman offering ice cream to all the kids. My kids loved it and always wanted to come back. It was great since they didn't charge us. Fast forward to 2026 and there was no ice cream in the building. We also heard the same guy arguing with another table that it took an hour for their food to come out and asked was it at least good lol.

On our way to an overnight stay at Foxwoods, we ordered a large meat lovers pizza to go. The outside is gorgeous - colorful, plenty of seating & who doesn't love twinkle lights?!?! Inside is super cozy & cute. The staff was working hard on a very steamy, hot summer day. We got the pizza to go (sorry folks - we were hungry before I realized that I hadn't taken a photo). The meat lovers includes pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon & hamburger. We liked it & we would order it again. There was so much meat that it actually fell off the slice when we were eating it (I know... first world problems). When we order it again, we would ask for additional sauce & cheese. We didn't get anything else because we had no where to store the leftovers at the hotel but I can't wait to order the Christo's Specialty Salad: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, dried cranberry, walnuts, fresh grilled chicken, bacon, feta or gorgonzola. That sounds delicious!

Today, We had a decent…read more lunch at Bravo Bravo--the crab cakes were delicious, we enjoyed our salad and cappuccinos martinis and our server was wonderful. Unfortunately, our experience was significantly affected by the hostess, Mariah. When we arrived, we were seated directly next to another party in a restaurant that had many open tables. We politely asked if we could move to the adjacent table for a little more privacy. Mariah told us that table would be needed for a larger reservation, which we completely understood. However, just a few minutes later, another couple was seated at that very table. I have worked as a hostess myself and understand the importance of strategic seating and managing reservations. What was disappointing was being given an explanation that clearly wasn't accurate. When you are paying premium prices for a dining experience, you should also feel welcomed and comfortable. All the tables next to us remained empty yet we were privy to all the conversations so close to us (the small tables are very close together) Because of this interaction, we decided not to stay for dinner and instead had a few appetizers before leaving. It was unfortunate because the food was good and our server provided excellent service. With a more welcoming and honest greeting from the hostess, our experience could have been very different. We will be going to one of many other options next time!
