Braised pork shank

Found this local restaurant on Yelp while driving north on a road trip. We sat right away and were served quickly. I had the dinner special of braised pork shank. The pork and broccoli were delicious, didn't care for the risotto, didn't taste fresh. Three other tables were all locals and they spoke with us and got hugs from the staff. The music was perfect for an Italian restaurant - music from The Godfather and Frank. What more could you want? Our waiter, Donny, was very friendly. There is a bar which has a TV so it feels more casual than I may be describing. If you're looking for good Italian with dimmed lighting, white tablecloths and nice music, and want a neighborhood feel, stop at Ristorante Di Sofia (named after the owners daughter).

Amazing customer service, Don was super friendly and made great menu suggestions. The food was delicious, it was so good that we ignored the bread. I will definitely be returning again. All the sauces are homemade and absolutely fantastic!

5 Stars from a very fussy foodie. 4 people 4 dishes and an appetizer. All was perfect including the wine selection. Can't believe I waited this long to try it. We will return.

Menu front 12/2024. Forgot to snap back, but is liquor menu and after-dinner drinks, cordials, etc.

Excellent!!! White tablecloths but not pretentious; come as you are, and feel welcome. Small friendly bar area with TV. Had the nicest server named Hako. He and his father own it. Family from Calabrese region in Italy. They immigrated to the Bronx/Arthur Ave. Then CT. Father Italian. Mother Albanian. True pride of ownership. Food was fabulous. Took pic of menu. Lots of nice specials making decision on what to order quite difficult because everything sounded amazing. Terranova bread (iykyk). Tender calamari with light fresh tasting red sauce. Bolognese was incredible. Other photo was sea bass special that my husband loved. Desserts were just ok.

I had been wanting to check this place out since they opened and I started hearing positive things about it. Sorry I waited so long! Wow! This place is the real deal. Attentive, friendly service, and amazing food! Authentic Italian , for sure. I had the clams casino to start- amazing! Probably the best clams casino I have ever had! My partner had the chicken Marsala , I had the papardelle Bolognese. They were both delicious! I was stuffed, didn't order dessert. Next time. There definitely will be a next time! Highly recommend!

Excellent food, service and ambiance. Can be a little too loud if others patrons forget there are others dining there as well.

Went to Edible Couture in Stratford, CT and first of all the atmosphere?! Let's get into it!!!…read moreAbsolutely gorgeous. Everything is pink, super aesthetic, very boutique bakery vibes with florals everywhere and it just feels really intentional and pretty the second you walk in. Staff was super sweet and welcoming too, which made the whole experience feel even better. Now onto the star of the show, the baked goods. The sweet potato pie cookie was SENSATIONAL. I need to go back ASAP and grab like 3 more because I'm still thinking about it. Perfect flavors and texture. Tested just like a sweet potato pie and the crust was impeccable. I was also told the strawberry shortcake cupcake is one of their most popular items and I can 100% see why. The whipped cream center was such a light fresh surprise and the whole cupcake really did taste like actual strawberry shortcake, not just "inspired by it." Overall it's a really cute, aesthetic bakery with standout desserts that actually live up to the hype. Already planning my next visit.

This is the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more, and more, and more. After being a…read morecustomer for many years now, it's wonderful to say that Edible Couture has not sacrificed their quality at all, but continues to get better and better. The actual bakery space continues to allow me with every visit, extremely clean, vibrant (Pink is such a happy color!), full of life, and you can tell the love that has been poured into every detail. Not to mention, right next-door their event space is fantastic and I have had the pleasure of taking part in a lovely intimate gathering there before. My most recent visit, I came in just to get the famous sweet potato cookies and was grateful that they were not sold out! While there, of course, I spotted the beautiful and delectable cupcakes in the pastry case; I simply could not resist and somehow ended up adding five of those to my order. Then a fellow customer came in excited about getting her hands on the jerk chicken biscuit. I said, "Wait, what is that?!"After she explained it to me, I told the owner that she might as well add one to my order as well because now I have to try it. From savory to sweet, everything was incredibly delicious and now I'm finding myself craving this jerk chicken biscuit, which comes with an amazing mango slaw. By the way, giving me one more reason to NEED to make this a regular spot on my commute home. The owner is a sweetheart, the staff is welcoming and helpful, and of course the baked goods and menu items are amazing! I have yet to be disappointed by anything -- and it's just the cherry on top to know I'm supporting a local small business. Go, Edible Couture!

Wow! I'm so happy I discovered this cafe and I'm antsy to return soon. We were immediately greeted…read moreby a friendly face who welcomed us in. The menu and everything in the display cases looked so appetizing, we had such a difficult time choosing what to order! We started with BEC sandwiches - they were made really well on delicious toasted rolls - my only complaint was the Kraft American cheese singles. Please upgrade the cheese and it will make the world of a difference to the meal!! I also had a hot tea with some pastries we got: Oreo cheesecake and an ombligo with a custard filling - absolutely delicious and perfectly sweetened. The inside decor was very nice and offered comfy soft seating to dine in with. I will definitely make a drive up soon from Norwalk to enjoy some more!

We tried the beef and the spinach/mushroom empanadas, a chocolate filled pastry and the alfajores. The empanadas were the proper baked Argentinian version. I thought the beef was very tasty but it lacked the chopped olive I associate with the Argentinian style. La Portena had no complaints about her spinach/mushroom version. The alfajores came in three sizes, something I did not realize when ordering. I would not repeat my order of the large size, the ratio of cookie to filling being off. The medium looked about right. The best item was a chocolate filled pastry, similar to a croissant that I had the next day. Flaky and light, it revealed some skill in the baking.

My fiancée is a self-appointed ice cream queen, and when she saw Goody Bassett's while we were…read moredriving, she yelled "stop the car!" I thought we were about to crash, but nope, just an emergency ice cream situation. Glad we pulled over because this place is the real deal. The ice cream is rich, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. You can taste the quality, and the scoop-to-dollar ratio is right on the money. The place has some cool history behind it too, which adds to the charm. We grabbed our cones and sat outside on a little bench, enjoying what felt like a scoop of heaven on a sunny day. If you're in the area, do yourself a flavor and make the stop, especially if you've got an ice cream queen in the car.

Goody Bassett's ice cream is a wonderful little "old school" ice cream shop. Quaint little shop,…read moresmells amazing when you walk in, and tons of fun flavors to choose from. My fiance asked the nice girl working there for her recommendation, and she did not hesitate to tell us her favorite - Graham Slam. Fantastic flavor, and the ice cream is creamy and delicious. I chose to do the recommended flavor, plus a scoop of Eskimo Kisses. Both flavors were awesome, but the Graham Slam was definitely better. There are lots of topping options, as well. There is some cute seating inside, as well as bench outside the shop. We chose to eat outside on the bench while enjoying a beautiful summer evening. It's a small shop, so small you might miss it, but it's definitely worth a trip there.
