I held my breath walking in the door, hoping to see the same beautiful nostalgic decor from decades past. To my delight, it looked beautifully the same, but soneobw better! There was beautiful music playing at just the right volume... Frank Sinatra, The Ronettes, and other sweet tunes. Heidi, my server, was excellent. She seems like she has worked there for awhile, and she handled MANY customers/tables with ease and grace. The food was EXCELLENT! I had spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti was piping hot, and there was no excess water under the pasta as sometimes happens in other establishments. Also, the price for my abundant, delicious meal, plus a glass of wine, was very reasonable. What a treasure in downtown Torrington, CT... a restaurant that has been open for 100 years! I spoke with a gentleman who, like me, had moved away but then came back to the area... and, like me, was so glad the decor, etc. was still the same! I hope they don't change a thing! ("If it ain't broke, don't fix it!") I will be back, and will be bringing my friends and family. Whay a delight!

In this corner is the last Chef Salad I reviewed, hailing from Granby CT, let's hear it for Gio's Brick Oven Pizzeria & Pub. And in the far corner is this week's challenger, hailing from Torrington, CT, let's hear it for Anthony's Restaurant. Anthony's sells their Chef Salad in two sizes -$9.95 and $13.95. We went for the "small" at $9.95.and the word "small" is an understatement. Their small is LOADED with 11 ounces of ham, turkey, roast beef, and provolone. I know it was 11 ounces, because that thick log of deli was so huge, I couldn't believe it, so I weighed it on my food scale. That's more than 2/3 of a pound of stuff, over a big salad of lettuce, cucumber, big tomato slices, shredded carrots, and a full hard boiled egg. Oh, and it comes with two big slices of fresh Italian bread, so the "small" easily gave us two big portions. So how does last week's Gio's salad compare. Well, if this was a boxing match the referee would have stopped the contest. Gio's cost $10.99, didn't include bread, and the serving of cold cuts paled in comparison to what we got at Anthony's. So Anthony's Chef Salad cost less than Gio's and gave us a ton of more stuff. Anthony's is a very cool little family restaurant with seafood, pasta, veal, chicken, and steak entrees, along with grinders, paninis, pizzas, and the salads. If I lived in Torrington, I'd sure be a regular.

The small pepperoni pizza was delicious and the tortelini alfredo was perfectly cooked and the alfredo sauce was creamy and cheesy.. chicken soup that came with the meal was good too. I was alittle disapointed that they dont have SPAGHETTI and meatballs (only linguini) but a girl cannot expect EVERYTHING. If you are local, I would say try vinnys for yourself. It IS alitle pricey, but sometimes quality is worth the extra.. DEFINITELY worth a trip. They have dine in, takeout, and delivery.

Maybe it was at an award dinner for a high school sports team, or at a Boy or Cub Scout dinner? Or maybe it was way back in the day between your history and algebra classes? Well, we had a unique lunch at Oliver's Restaurant. Why unique? It was unique because the restaurant is located within the Oliver Wolcott Technical High School in Torrington, and it is staffed by students. You see, the school's Culinary Arts program trains their students for experience in the food service industry. It's an ambitious program that uses a public restaurant to provide 1,775 hours of learning and training in all phases of restaurant business - from the public facing front of the house to the back-of-house. If the students decide to enter the food service workforce, they leave Oliver's with a fantastic skill set. The teacher is Chef Michael McDowell, and he had a crew of 25 High School Juniors operating in two rooms preparing the salads and sandwiches, grilling the chicken and salmon and steaks, baking the meatballs, preparing the soups, slicing the complimentary bread, waiting the tables, and every possible activity they will see when the food service workforce. Chef Michael was fantastic as he oversaw the operation, offering nonstop commentary and tips to his young staff - "did you offer ketchup with those fries?", "too much oil in that pan", "check on your customers and get off your phones", "where's the dressing on the side?", "put the dressing in a takeout container for the takeout orders, and a ramekin for the diners", etc., etc. Oliver's has a real dining room with an open kitchen, so you can see and hear the entire class. There was a steady stream of takeout orders, and three parents popped in to say hi to their kids. The freshman and sophs in the Culinary Arts program start with the basics -how to sauté things, make salads, and the like. Today's class was all juniors, and that's when they actually start to operate the restaurant under the Chef's guidance. We chatted with Chef Michael, and he said that when they become Seniors, they really run Olivers by themselves. Our lunch was a $3 cup of clam chowder, a $9 turkey BLT, a $14 Salmon Caesar Salad, and a $4 Apple Crostata. The food was very good, check out the generous portion of turkey on the BLT and the half pound slab of perfectly cooked salmon on my salad. And we were amazed when Chef Michael called us at home to get our feedback on the meal and service. What a wonderful experience! We really enjoyed watching the Chef train his staff and watching them execute his instructions. I hope whoever is reading this, goes to the school and supports these young restaurant workers of the future. I know you'll enjoy this unique experience as much as we did. PRO TIP Olivers is open to the public Wednesday to Friday from 10:45 to 12:05, and they ask you to call 860-496-5369 to make a reservation.
