    Rigatoni Buttera

    Pretty good food lots of selection for different dishes. Something for everyone, pasta was yummy very filling couldn't finish it!

    Pesto Potato Gnocchi w/ Basil Pesto Vodka Chicken Parmigiana Cavatelli Marco Polo

    This food was amazing! Service was awesome and the manager (I believe) was super attentive. Every worker was very kind! We got the pesto gnocchi, which was amazing flavor, and the vodka chicken parm, which was the star of the show! The outside seating was also super cute, and we saw the inside which looked nice as well.

    Who's open on a weekday evening after 9pm that serves legit meals and not just bar food? That was the question and problem that Quattro Pazzi Café solved for us! Double win: a pasta menu as long as the Eataly fresh pasta selections! Service was always attentive but a little bit of missed communication with multiple people waiting on us and not knowing exactly where we were in the process of water, orders, etc. but we never didn't have what we needed. Atmosphere outside under the tent behind the building at night was very lovely and relaxed- and much less noisy than street seating out front, and warmer than the air conditioning inside. It was also nice to have a parking spot at the back as well instead of being concerned about street parking. Fried calamari was a bit over cooked on the inside, but the crunchy fried exterior was nice and crispy. Caesar Salad had that great anchovie flavor without being too overwhelming or overpowering. We asked to add tomatoes and they obliged. Gnocchi Bolognese- portion will leave you with left overs, or will make a nice family style platter to pass around the table. Tomato flavor ragu with meat sauce. Gnocchi cooked perfectly to be evenly chewy throughout without any raw parts.

    We've been wanting to try out Joanne's Table for a while after seeing all the great reviews, and…read morewell... it's absolutely phenomenal. It's a small restaurant with about 10 tables, without much parking out front. When you enter, it feels like home. Everyone seems to know each other. Joanne herself greeted us at the door - she was wonderful host throughout the night. Ok let's get to the food because it is excellent. We started with the meatballs with whipped ricotta and the mushroom crostini. Both were incredible. The meatballs (which come 2 per order) were the size of my fist - you could tell they had been marinating all day. Moist, soft, juicy, they were among the best I've ever had. Now the mushroom crostini - unreal. They're cooked with pears, so they have a sweet earthy flavor, and placed on goat cheese on delicious fresh bread. To die for. I'm going to be honest, we were almost full by the time the entrees arrived. Between us we got the chicken parmigiana, which comes with a side of garlic linguine, the fettuccine vingole (white wine and clams) and a simple plate of spaghetti. All of these were excellent, the chicken parm in particular. Unfortunately we did not save room for dessert, but will try to next time since we've heard so many good things about the sweets here. What Joanne had built here is truly special. I can't wait to be back!

The menu is some what tied into the Puglia region, which is the heel of the boot. I could tell the italian dialect from the owner when he was speaking to one of the staff, it immediately gave me a good feeling that this restaurant would be really good. The appetizers we had were all really good, we had the fried calamari, the grilled Octopusss, the fried zucchini flowers and thd hummus special. Sorry no pics of these. We had a couple of the Orrechiette Barese, Chicken parmigiana, a pasta special of fettuccine with shrimp in a cream and pesto sauce, another pasta with cavatelli, shrimp and cream and pesto sauce, really couldn't see the pesto, probably could have used a little more or maybe a little finishing with the pesto on top. Service was good and the owner came around to introduce himself and we got a complimentary round of their homemade creama di limencello to finish off the experience. Wr wouldn't hesitate to go again the next time we are in town to see a show.

The concept of the restaurant is totally relatable for my Italian American family and I find it very funny - cannot wait to bring them in here to try. All staff were super nice. The merch is funny too.

Just like the slice I used to get in NY growing up. I asked for lightly baked and the slice folded perfectly, was the perfect texture and actually had flavor and the sauce and cheese were excellent quality- all around a delicious mushroom pie and everyone actually agreed with me!

As someone who has spent a summer in Italy/studied abroad, I was absolutely gobsmacked as to why anyone patrons this restaurant! The highlight of the evening was our kind waitress (clearly had absolutely no culinary-based experience and my boyfriend had to open the bottle of wine for her) and the Barolo. That is it. A proper caprese does not feature 4/5ths tomatoes and shards of two leaves of basil. Linguine and clams does not come congealed, with half of the clams closed (ie. dead) and a poor pasta cook (not al dente-- just half cooked). Our waitress informed me that she would be removing the item from the bill.... Um. Hello. I took ONE bite and decided absolutely NOT. We aren't discussing a comp/removal. It's inferred. And the 'tortellini in brodo'?! That I waited another 30 minutes for? Store brought chicken broth, no herbs or elevation. Absolutely sad and inedible. We will likely just contact AMEX. Maybe it's because I'm a New Yorker, well traveled and a damn good cook... Because this place!? Oh no. Blasphemy. Just no flavor or love-- I've had better meals and experiences in a college dorm. Oh! Pro tip! Please don't sit an elegant party of two next to egregiously-behaved children who require medication and therapy. The experience was a fail at "Hello. Party of 2?" *And "this guest" still paid the bill and tipped graciously amidst a very disappointing meal-- as it wasn't our waitress' fault. Alas, management won't take the onus that the food is subpar. Bravo.

    Vespino Pizza + Restaurant is a modern Italian restaurant and New York-style pizzeria that opened…read morein Fairfield, Connecticut in March 2023. It was founded by Italian immigrant restaurateurs and business partners Nunzio DeTommaso and Biagio "Gino" Riccio. DeTommaso ran Gravina Pizzeria in Greenwich for a number of years before it closed, while Riccio is most well-known for founding Quattro Pazzi Café in Fairfield in 1997. In this new collaborative venture between the two, DeTommaso and Riccio serve authentic New York-style pizza in a friendly and casual atmosphere. The name "Vespino" is a reference to a brand of mopeds which are a popular mode of transportation in major Italian cities. In addition to the signature New York-style pizza, the menu also consists of Detroit-style pizza, Italian entrees, pasta dishes, salads, classic antipasti, beer, wine and craft cocktails. In summer 2024, Vespino was sold to restaurateur Marcelo Acosta. My family and I recently had dinner at Vespino for the first time. We've had them on our "must-try" list of restaurants for some time and we were excited to finally sample their food. There were some fancy-sounding drinks on their cocktail menu, so I decided to order the "Sardinian Special" (Redemption bourbon, prickly pear, citrus, mint). This delicious cocktail reminded me of being on a warm Italian beach: a nice distraction from the freezing cold temperatures outside. For food, I ordered the "Burrata Pizza" (mozzarella, tomato sauce, topped with/ fresh burrata & EVOO), my wife ordered the "Tortelloni" (peas, prosciutto, mushrooms, vodka sauce), our older son had the "Kids Chicken Tenders" (w/ fries), and our younger son had the "Kids Penne Pasta" (w/ butter). We all really liked our food! My pizza had a crispy crust, really creamy burrata, and an excellent sauce! My wife loved her pasta, especially the vodka sauce). Overall, we all had a great experience at Vespino and would love to return. Next time I really want to try their Detroit-style pizza.

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and the place was empty, save for one gentlemen. The dining space is shared with the bar and the tables were nicely set. We did not get the friendliest of welcomes and the wait staff seemed almost annoyed at our questions and not being ready to order. We were in no rush. My friend thought about getting the eggplant and asked if it could be prepared without the breading. No was the reply. Ok. Pizzas are only 1 size, personal size 12 inch. No other choices. So we ordered a plain cheese pizza and a half eggplant/half crumbled sausage. The cheese pizza was edible, but nothing to return for. The eggplant on half of the pizza had an off putting taste and was mushy. Not at all appetizing. The sausage was meh. Pizza crust was thin but lacked flavor, sauce was sparse and lacking depth or flavor. I did not eat the eggplant 1/2 pizza and the server asked if I wanted it boxed up. "No thank you." She then proceeded to tell me that was a waste and it was only a personal sized people and I should've had no problems eating it. Rude. Prices were high for the quality of food that was served. Restrooms were clean and plenty of parking, but I do not recommend and will not be returning.
