    My First time here so walking in was very welcoming, the gentlemen brought us to our table and flipped the glasses to fill our cups with freezing cold water which I loved. I ordered a expresso-tinni with Baileys, which wasn't too over powering. We had a large crowd with us and the server's were very polite and up beat, the food was very good. We started with a appetizer zucchini chips with ranch dressing on the side so delicious, then everyone ordered a different dish and we were all pleased and happy. What I for got to take a picture of was the desserts, so this is how we ranked them.. 1. Carrot Cake so delicious 2. Tiramisu Cake 3. Canolli 4. Chocolate Mousse Cake 5. Key Lime We put the key lime last because the person who ordered it didn't want to share lol they gobbled it up before anyone could try it. This was a beautiful little place, the owners to Server's were extremely Wonderful, it's not a place where we will visit a lot but when we plan a special date night we would like to come back.

    Love supporting new businesses in town and I finally got to check out Vera Roma. We went for an earlier dinner on a Sunday and it was quiet. Our server was friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered the calamari ( I really enjoyed the sauce), and for dinner we got the chicken alla vodka which was delicious.. your typical vodka sauces and my bf got the salmon twitch risotto- also very tasty. We're so happy to see a new restaurant in town and we wish it the best.. we will definitely be backZ

    Was greeted and sat by our waitress when we came in. When…read moreit was decided we would only be drinking water we had the option of tap, bottled, and sparkling. We went with the good ole free tap water. The restaurant is decorated like what I could imagine a home in Italy would look like. We dined at lunch time but still decided on the 24 oz boneless ribeye for two. That came with crispy potatoes and spinach. While we were waiting for our food we ate some really nice homemade bread that came with olive oil for dipping. Our steak was so tender my husband had beeb cutting his with a butter knife when he noticed his steak knife was on the table still next to his place. Our steak was seasoned beautifully and there was not a piece left over. Normally I prefer a butter or sauce for my potatoes. However, these potatoes were seasoned so well and crispy it wasnt needed. Now I left the spinach for last because I dont eat it. My husband ate it and he enjoyed it because it was not bitter! Finally when our bill came it was in a Pinocchio book which I thought was a cute and clever play on the restaurant name - Geppetto‼

    Second visit for a family birthday last night and they exceeded our first fantastic impression…read more Service is unmatched. The feel is literally as if we are in a Tuscan farm home. There is not a more welcoming and comfortable place I can think of. The food backs it up - which is the main point. My only suggestion for first-time diners, perhaps ask your server if the chef will consider delaying courses a bit. In our group of four, we wanted to try/share 4 different apps and a meat and cheese board. Because of their dedication to a promptly and accurately coursed meal, all four apps and the boar all arrived at the time time (by design). Makes it really uncomfortable at the table with so many plates. But if that's my only gripe - that's all you need to know. This Is A Must Go!!! My favorite restaurant around.

    I want in for lunch today, knowing there was a new owner, and I hadn't had a chance to get in there…read moresince then. 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.

    "And so please help (To teach your children) Them with your…read moreyouth (What you believe in) They seek the truth Teach your children well" (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) When was the last time you ate a meal in a high school? Maybe it was at an award dinner for a high school sports team, or at a Boy or Cub Scout dinner? Or maybe it was way back in the day between your history and algebra classes? Well, we had a unique lunch at Oliver's Restaurant. Why unique? It was unique because the restaurant is located within the Oliver Wolcott Technical High School in Torrington, and it is staffed by students. You see, the school's Culinary Arts program trains their students for experience in the food service industry. It's an ambitious program that uses a public restaurant to provide 1,775 hours of learning and training in all phases of restaurant business - from the public facing front of the house to the back-of-house. If the students decide to enter the food service workforce, they leave Oliver's with a fantastic skill set. The teacher is Chef Michael McDowell, and he had a crew of 25 High School Juniors operating in two rooms preparing the salads and sandwiches, grilling the chicken and salmon and steaks, baking the meatballs, preparing the soups, slicing the complimentary bread, waiting the tables, and every possible activity they will see when the food service workforce. Chef Michael was fantastic as he oversaw the operation, offering nonstop commentary and tips to his young staff - "did you offer ketchup with those fries?", "too much oil in that pan", "check on your customers and get off your phones", "where's the dressing on the side?", "put the dressing in a takeout container for the takeout orders, and a ramekin for the diners", etc., etc. Oliver's has a real dining room with an open kitchen, so you can see and hear the entire class. There was a steady stream of takeout orders, and three parents popped in to say hi to their kids. The freshman and sophs in the Culinary Arts program start with the basics -how to sauté things, make salads, and the like. Today's class was all juniors, and that's when they actually start to operate the restaurant under the Chef's guidance. We chatted with Chef Michael, and he said that when they become Seniors, they really run Olivers by themselves. Our lunch was a $3 cup of clam chowder, a $9 turkey BLT, a $14 Salmon Caesar Salad, and a $4 Apple Crostata. The food was very good, check out the generous portion of turkey on the BLT and the half pound slab of perfectly cooked salmon on my salad. And we were amazed when Chef Michael called us at home to get our feedback on the meal and service. What a wonderful experience! We really enjoyed watching the Chef train his staff and watching them execute his instructions. I hope whoever is reading this, goes to the school and supports these young restaurant workers of the future. I know you'll enjoy this unique experience as much as we did. PRO TIP Olivers is open to the public Wednesday to Friday from 10:45 to 12:05, and they ask you to call 860-496-5369 to make a reservation.
