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!

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!

Having recently found restaurant row in Torrington as well as being on my to do list from a…read morerecommendation, we decided to try the Venetian. Again, showing up on a Saturday night for our 7pm reservation we were promptly seated. While our server ended being very good, friendly, and knowledgeable about the CT restaurant scene, she clearly had too many tables to handle and had to make her own drinks that night due to a party in one of the back rooms. These factors lead to very slow service. Instead of ordering cocktails we ordered a bottle of wine which ended up not having. We accepted their replacement which ended up being fine. I started my meal with the pasta fagioli which was just ok. The pasta in the soup was overcooked and was mushy. I also like escarole in my pasta fagioli which was missing. For our main meal, we ordered the veal chop and beef ravioli. The ravioli was fine and the veal chop was ok. For desert we had the limoncello cake which was light and had nice lemon flavor to it. The restaurant fells like it could use a face lift and suffers from the Covid plastic separators between the booths. Overall it's ok, but probably not worth the trip for us.

It's a typical Italian deli, there's a few tables in the main area and someone off to the side if you want to eat in! They are so much more than just deli food, they have a full catering menu and everything I've ever had from them has been delicious! Today I got the Il Padrino which has prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil! So good and the bread is perfect for a panini! Definitely consider Alfredo's for all of your catering needs!

This may be one of the most positive food/people/local business experiences that I have ever had…read more I encourage you, truly, to enjoy this traditional neighborhood Italian deli - where they REALLY cook (and more importantly) and take pride in their work in addition to taking an interest in their customers. As I was leaving today from my first (and definitely not my last) lunch visit, I told the awesome staff "I hope to have reason to host a catered party so I can call you." *** The look and feel of this place screams of "home" to me. I'm from NJ and miss the true delis in every neighborhood. No offense to the Litchfield Hills, but I don't want books, artwork for sale, or jazz in my deli - and I sure don't want prefabricated sandwiches that are trying to inspire my esoteric side. Alfredo's just hits home. Home cooking. Very generous portion. Fantastic bread/rolls. Staff that made my experience great beyond expectation (they even gave me a sample of the day's special panini for my feedback... spoiler alert, it was terrific)! From what I tried today, everything was good. But the chicken cutlet is literally worth the drive from anywhere.

We went blueberry picking in a nearby town and wanted lunch before the long drive home. The people…read moreat the farm suggested that we go into Litchfield for a variety of eating choices, and they were right! What drew us to di Franco's was the lovely patio out front, with lots of round tables shaded by bright umbrellas. We weren't looking for an Italian meal necessarily, it was lunch on a hot day rather than a leisurely evening dinner, and diFranco's has a pretty decent selection of sandwiches and salads for lunch in addition to the traditional Italian specialties you'd expect. My husband chose the salmon burger and was quite pleasantly surprised that he didn't get a salmon "burger!" He got a nice sized portion of actual grilled salmon on a bun with greens and I think tomato, plus a plate full of thin, crisp, addictive fries! It's on the menu as Cajun but he asked for no Cajun spices, and it says tartar sauce on the sandwich but he asked for that on the side. He said the salmon was really delicious . I ordered the tuna melt with avocado. This came on thinly sliced crisp toast and it was very tasty, if a little wetter than I usually prefer tuna salad. This also came with those wonderful fries; I NEVER finish a whole portion of fries but I ate every single piece today, they were that good. FWIW, I used hub's tartar sauce on the side for dipping my fries (I'm not a ketchup fan). We just had cold water to drink, and the server was gracious even though all we ordered were those sandwiches. We saw ample salads on other tables. The place was busy outside, empty inside, but it was a gorgeous day and the shaded tables were inviting - good for sitting and relaxing a bit, plus people watching! Inside, the restrooms were clean, but more than that they are noteworthy for the handicapped accessibility. I had a cousin whose MS caused her to need a wheelchair and she'd have been pleased with the space and the grab bars. Maybe it's code, but my experience has been that it's rarely this well followed. So if you or someone you dine out with has the need, consider diFranco's for the accessible restrooms as well as the food! Note that they were offering a discount for cash. The dinner menu looked good but I can only vouch for the high quality of the lunch. Try it if you're in or near Litchfield CT.
