    Cafeteria style mozzarella sticks
    J M.

    Take out order, just a grinder and an appetizer. Veal parm grinder was just what you expect- good roll, good cheese, decent sauce and plenty of protein . If I go back I would consider it as a safe option and order it again. Fried mozzarella- I specifically asked "is it homemade?" The reply was "Yes." They suck! Garbage sticks that they bought out of the freezer at restaurant depot. They remind me of the mozzarella stick from the high school cafeteria. I ate one- won't eat the rest. If that is homemade I am scared to try the meatballs. I am disappointed that I wrote a negative review about this place but I hate getting ripped off. I hear a lot of positive reviews from the community but my experience was not that.

    Cavatelli With Broccoli
    Alex P.

    We went to Trattoria Roma before heading to Legends of Fear to get our spook on and have truly always heard good things about the restaurant. We were greeted by a hostess and sat anywhere we wanted! We were the only ones in the restaurant in the beginning. After sitting, our waitress brought warm rolls with oil which were so nice and fresh. For our entrees we ordered the cavatelli and broccoli, which was really good! I just wish there was more flavor/garlic. We also ordered the scallops alla vodka, which was good! Additionally we had a large Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was very tender, which was excellent. The only thing I wish is that the dressing tasted more like Caesar. It was similar to a store bought dressing, but it was still good! Would definitely be back!

    while staying in Shelton, CT for the night I researched reviews to find a place for dinner and…read moreultimately chose RITROVO. I'm glad I did - the place was great! The menu is slightly better than typical Italian... Service was great... Food quality, flavor, execution was excellent! I started with their pasta e fagioli which came out piping hot, fresh, and tasting amazing! It tasted so good that I had to send a pic of it to the wife so she could make some when I got back home! Entrée was a special of the night so it wasn't on the menu, it was their Chicken Scarpariello. This dish took a little longer to prepare, but it was worth the wait! It came out piping hot and ohhhh soooo good!!! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, cooked, tender, and sooo flavorful! The sausage, peppers, onions, and especially the potatoes in this dish were insanely flavored that I wanted a piece of everything with each bite of chicken! This dish was AMAZING - highly recommend it! Lastly was dessert - I opted for their Crème Brûlée as they make it in house and it was great too! One of the owners, a beautiful young lady came out to chat with me about their restaurant and I loved her story. She introduced me to Antonio, the owner/chef too and he was nice. Their venue is beautiful and is set up nicely for special occasions too! I'll definitely be back!

    I had high hopes for this place, especially given all the great reviews, but sadly, we were very…read moredisappointed. Let's start with the positive... The place itself is beautiful, cozy, inviting, and really nicely laid out. Tables seem to be a little on top of one another, but they're nice size tables. Started the night off with a tiramisu martini, it was excellent... Great way of marrying decade and tiramisu dessert with an alcoholic twist of martini. Also split the zucchini blossom with my husband. This was decadent, honestly a great balance between taste, the crispy fried texture, and the ever so smooth tomato sauce that came with it. It wasn't just a sauce, it was a brilliant combination of texture, taste, and color... The taste buds were very excited and couldn't wait for what was to come. At this point, we were really excited, oh, I forgot to mention, the homemade bread, with hints of rosemary... You have my heart once you bring me, rosemary! It was excellent, nice, soft and chewy, yet crispy on the outside and the whipped goat cheese, like butter with an excellent accompaniment to the bread. At this point, the cadence was at a great pace. Andres came shortly after. My husband ordered the pork chop, and I ordered the chili and Seabass special which came with mussels and a tomato sauce with basil on top of the corn risotto. The pork chop did look appealing, but whatever strange reason, the pork chop with sliced into half inch pieces which immediately raised a red flag for both my husband and me. My husband is very particular in ordering his pork medium well too well done, as he does not like seeing any pink in his pork whatsoever given a harrowing experience from years ago. having said that, I don't know if it was their intention to slice the pork to ensure it was cooked to the correct wellness, but in doing so, it dried up the pork completely and made this dish absolutely an edible for my husband. To boot, the pork really had no flavor, but it looked beautiful, even a mist being sliced in little pieces. I tried it, and I too, felt the taste to be very flat. The vegetables that came with it were very good, nicely, roasted, and perfectly done, but the meal is not about the vegetables. It's about the pork chop, let's be serious, especially at $47.95! My Seabass was also very flat, it tasted more like poached fish than it did like a seared fish. Really did not have much flavor in terms of spices, the muscles are good, and the risotto was very good, but that fish itself lacked any luster whatsoever again, at the price tag of $47.95. The waiter came and asked us how our meals were and my husband explained to him his disappointment with his dish saying how dried out it was, and the waiter waiters response was I'm sorry, I'll give you a dessert on the house... Really? An eight dollar dessert equates to a $48 meal and that should satisfy my husband. About 3/4 of the pork chop was not consumed and nothing else was done. He asked me how I felt about my fish and I told him it was flat and really didn't have much flavor. He looked at me and said ok and walked away. The owner who had given us such a nice greeting when we walked in, recognized my husband, and when he came by during our meal, never once did he ask us how we were. Honestly, a real disappointment, we started off so nice and strong with this place, and the biggest showcase was such a letdown and the way it was handled was even more disappointing. It was our first time and our last time here.

The array of dishes was a bit overwhelming. I definitely encourage viewing photos of the food prior to ordering, it helped so much. We started with garlic bread and fried calamari. For the main course, I went with the Lasagna made with ground beef and veal. It was absolutely delicious (I even took some home!) My husband went for the fillet mignon and he said the meat was cooked perfectly. The food was 5 stars! Things to note - It was a bit hard to have a conversation because it was loud. Also, we did have a hard time finding the restaurant since it's in a plaza with other businesses. We had to call the restaurant to get accurate directions. I loved the romance this place has. Beautiful beautiful.

    Second time coming here. Writing this review a bit late as we were here back in October. First…read moretime I was here was a very unfortunate time for our family as it was my Aunt's Celebration of Life Lunch after her funeral back in 2017. My uncle rented out the entire private event space. I remember the venue being absolutely stunning. Large glass windows and the bar was gorgeous. I didn't realize this was only the private event section of the restaurant. Fast forward to our visit back in October 2025, when we arrived and wanted to sit at this gorgeous bar that I had remembered, it turns out that area is for private events only. There was actually a wedding going on. So, we sat at the main bar and had a drink which is upstairs. Downstairs is where the private events are. Although the main bar was nice, I just had in my head the gorgeous modern vibe of the event space. The main bar is more old school Italian, warm colors whereas downstairs is more bright and modern. Moving on to the food, we split the Giulio Cesare (Ceasar salad). It was fine. Nothing special. Lots of cheese on top. For entrees, I had the Ippoglosso alla Boscaiola con Pure di Patate e Asparagi (Halibut). It was incredible. No complaints. Boyfriend had the Salmone alla Senape e Dragoncello con Spinaci e Pomodorini (Salmon). He enjoyed his dish as well. What I did not love was the dessert. I don't even remember what it was, but it should have been thawed out a bit. It was rock hard when it got to our table. Some sort of a pistachio dessert. I feel like it may have been a torte. We did not enjoy it. I think it was a special they had. Would highly recommend the event space here (beautiful ambiance), however I don't remember much about the food at the event. The building itself is quite impressive as you walk up to it. Nice grounds.
