I first tried the guacamole at Hartford Taste, and now I stop by just to get it. It is that good. I also really enjoyed the pad Thai, which was gluten-free and not too sweet. That is always a win for me because sometimes pad Thai can lean too sweet. Overall, Trumbull Kitchen is a solid spot with good food, good drinks, the service can be a tad slow initially but it speeds up. I will definitely keep coming back.

Everything was exceptional, from the drinks and ambiance to the salads, entrées, and desserts. The kale salad was fresh and delicious, the Pasta alla Vodka was outstanding, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan (I completely forgot to take a picture because she was so excited to dig in!). The hazelnut pie was the perfect way to end the meal and cobbler pie A special shout-out to Rory, who took such great care of us. I was hoping for a Dubai Chocolate Espresso Martini, which wasn't on the menu, and she went above and beyond by checking with the bartender and putting in a special request for me. That thoughtful gesture made my evening extra special and truly reflected the outstanding hospitality. We left happy, full, and already looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend and more sensible way was giving the salads separately in two plates. We mentioned we would be sharing the salad and pasta Ella vodka which was the first time I have ever seen in a restaurant, most restaurants would give a big one and we need to portion it out. Amazing experience.

Bricco Bricco is…read moreclearly one of the more popular spots in town, and it's easy to see why -- but our visit was a mix of highs and lows. We started with the shrimp alla vodka pasta, which was genuinely good and a dish I'd order again. We also shared an apple arugula salad that was fresh and well balanced, along with a side of fries that were just okay -- nothing special, but they did the job. The evening didn't start off smoothly, though. The restaurant was busy, and the wait to be seated took a while. Once we were seated, the service was okay at best -- attentive enough to get our order right, but not particularly warm or fast. That became more of an issue when our prosecco arrived flat. We had to work to get our waiter's attention to have it replaced, and it took much longer than it should have for someone to notice and follow up. We also tried a lavender vodka drink, which ended up being a bit of a letdown. It was expensive for what amounted to a small pour, and honestly the best part of it was the fancy glass it came in -- the drink itself didn't quite justify the price. Overall, the food carried the night. The pasta and salad were highlights, and I'd come back for those alone. But the service hiccups and pricey, underwhelming cocktails took some shine off the experience. If you go, stick to the pasta and maybe skip the specialty drinks.

I had high hopes for Stella Doro. After missing the chance to visit the day before. We went for…read morelunch and, while I expected a lively, bustling atmosphere, it was actually quite quiet during our visit. That didn't bother me--it gave me the chance to really take in the space. As a pescatarian, I was pleasantly surprised to have a few appealing options to choose from. I ended up ordering the sole Florentino, which was lemony and delicious, served with a side of pasta. The fish was cooked perfectly, though the pasta could have used a little something extra to elevate it. My husband ordered the scallop and shrimp fra diavolo. He enjoyed it and it satisfied what he was looking for. I can't forget to mention the bread--it was a standout. A large, toasted, crusty loaf that was a treat all on its own. The only downside to our visit were awkward moments when someone we believe was a manager was on speakerphone, seemingly arguing with a staff member. It was a bit distracting and took away from the otherwise pleasant experience. Overall, it was a good experience with some highlights, and I'd be open to giving it another try. Pricing was what I expected, not too expensive and good portion size.

The service on the covered deck was alittle slow since it was during lunch but still offered us good service. The restaurant is very clean and great place to dine.

Went to Amici's for girl dinner and honestly such a cute little spot…read more The restaurant itself is very small so it has a super homey/intimate feel. There were only about 3 booths plus some half-booth/chair seating for maybe 20 people total. The decor was really pretty too, hanging flowers everywhere which made it feel cozy and aesthetic. Service was amazing. There was one bartender and one waiter and both were super attentive, fast, and friendly the whole time. We specifically went for the $20 girl dinner special which comes as a tower with martinis filled with Caesar salad, garlic knots, penne alla vodka, and french fries. The french fries were PHENOMENAL and the penne alla vodka was honestly sensational. My only wish is that the meal included some kind of protein like chicken because it would've made it feel a little more complete. Their drink menu is huge and really creative they had things like a cannoli martini and pistachio martini which were both delicious. I originally wanted a whiskey martini, so the bartender suggested a sidecar martini. It was good, just not really the vibe for a 5 PM dinner with my girlfriends lol definitely more of a late-night cocktail. I ended up switching to "That's Your Old Fashioned" made with birthday cake whiskey and liked that much better. Overall, I'd definitely go back for drinks and to try more food. I probably wouldn't order the girl dinner again personally, but it's still a really good deal and such a fun concept. Loved the atmosphere and service

Fresh from vacation, wanted a lunch spot I have yet to try. Decided to make the trek and give this…read moreplace a try. The restaurant is in a sleepy little corner of Glastonbury in a tiny strip mall. The inside is decorated well and it's a very pretty space. The single waitress was handling the entire place herself. She got me seated after a short wait. She was very polite and helpful, offered recommendations and was always available but was very busy. Opted for linguini in vodka sauce with meatballs, and the crème brûlée. Food came out after a short wait. Took pics and dug in The pasta was not boiled in salty water. Pasta consistency was slick and firm but not crunchy. Either overworked fresh pasta or dried, I'm not sure which. The vodka sauce was one note, lacking any depth. It was a creamy tomato sauce and really needed seasoning to punch up the flavors. The meatball was dense, lacked any seasoning or flavor. They were cooked and warm, just not much going on beyond ground beef. The Marinara was actually really good. Balanced, sweet but not overly acidic. The quality showed in that sauce. The crème brûlée was very good. Little bit boozy due the gran mariner on top with the caramelized sugar. Creamy and light on the vanilla but the perfect consistency. The best bite of the bites. The garlic knots and cappuccino were okay. Nothing fancy there, but functional and good enough. The server showed concern when I didn't eat much of my entree. She offered replacements, which I declined. The hospitality was great even with her being as busy as she was. Price was high, coming out to around 45 bucks for the pasta and meatballs, cappuccino, and dessert. It was a lunch on a Monday, so not expecting the best. But the price was a bit much for the quality provided. I can see glimmers of greatness here. The server and the dessert were great, but their entrees leave a bit to be desired. As an Italian restaurant, it has the perfect ambiance and service expected for an elevated experience in that area. The foods a bit lacking, but if you go for the location and the service then you'll do just fine.
