    Vinnys is a popular local spot. We love their dinners, having enjoyed Penne A La Vodka, Chicken Parm, and Cavetelli! While we highly recommend their Italian dishes, their pizza is not our favorite, but it's not bad. It is a doughy pizza with lightly done crust and heavier on the cheese. When it comes to Pizza everyone likes something different, so this just may be your go to!

    Fettucini Alfredo with Shrimp and Broccoli
    Deb T.

    Very good food, very good service, and quick! This bit of a "Hole In the Wall," sort of venue was really quite remarkable. The portions generous and wait staff friendly and not bothersomely attentive. I had the Shrimp and broccoli fettuccini Alfredo sans Fettuccine- my choice of Ziti, Angel hair or linguini was a surprise, as I'm accustomed to a nice thick Fettuccine in the Fettuccine Alfredo; that aside, the linguine was perfection on a plate, or rather a Bowl. It was a bit thin, but the addition of some Parmesan made it so! It was very, very good! My dining partner favored a dinner of grilled chicken and assorted veggies, which she enjoyed thouroughly. Servings were ample for the heartiest of appetites‼We each carried with us plenty for a meal to follow this fine one. The ambiance was just right, as well. Tables close enough to commiserate with neighboring diners-who each highly recommended their chosen entrée quite mightily. Yet quiet enough to enjoy our own private conversations. We did have to request refills twice on our ice waters. That and the missing Fettuccine kept away that 5th star on their rating- wish I could just assign a 5 minus on this report card. Don't miss out, This place IS really good‼

    Side veggies.

    The pizza and salad we ordered were great..but we got the large side order of sautéed veggies and this was it. The size was great for the price, but there was no flavor whatsoever. Plain steamed veg that included baby carrots for whatever reason. That was a disappointment.

    This place is like a yo yo up and down, down and up and it just went back to down, I'm done with this place. They have no Communication with the customers and trust me I would of cancled my order if they were just honest with me about not having everything that I ordered and doing there own thing! I would of Respected honesty and try another day or time but with them being dishonest and taking my money just mad me extremely mad. Never Again Vinny's

    Peanut butter pie

    I do not like giving bad reviews but I'm quite disappointed in this restaurant. They were our favorite in town for pizza and food for a long time but they've gotten bad The peanut butter pie had MOLD on it. I never expect to have to inspect my food and I regret not doing so tonight. I shared this pie with my 3 year old son My boyfriend had a couple bites and spit it out in disgust when he found the mold because he had a much better view with the light being right over him. I will say they are refunding us but we will never be going here again. Everything we got tasted like soggy reheated cheap frozen food. They said they got this order of pies on Friday so I'm hoping this gets out to whoever has had anything from them.

    $18 for a f***ing steak and cheese sub?! Should've given me a reach around for that price, or at least kiss me first. Never again.

    1/2 sausage, 1/2 cheese pizza, at Vinny's Restaurant & Pizzeria in Torrington, CT.
    Tom D.

    I've been in a few times for slices since my initial review of Vinny's in the spring. Last night I ordered a large 1/2 sausage, 1/2 cheese pizza to go, surprisingly, the pizza straight out of the oven was not as good as the re-heated pizza slices I have had here in the past. Skimpy on the sausage, crust was stiff & dry. The pizza wasn't horrible, but I felt it was just OK. My wife didn't like it at all, told me not to order from them again. I still imagine I'll drop in for slices from time to time, the slices are huge & foldable, NY style.

    It was my first time eating at Geppetto's and I was extremely impressed, not only with the layers…read moreof flavor in the food, but the technique and execution of these dishes. While the entire meal started off with a salad, of course, the next appetizer was the tagliatelle Bolognese and the pasta was definitely the main star of the dish. I could tell that the pasta was homemade as it was very light and flavorful. The Bolognese itself was well balanced and not acidic. I chose the lamb for dinner and I was very happy with the port wine reduction, and impressed with the light compliment of the sunchoke puree. The herb crust executed on the lamb was extremely flavorful and not too earthy. While I was really going back-and-forth between the Seabass and the lamb I am happy. I chose the lamb for the main course. Panna cotta for dessert and I'm happy I chose a lighter option to fishing the evening. I feel like after all of the courses I had the Panna cotta really completed the meal. It was perfectly silky. I could tell the cream was delicately infused with lemon and the blackberry couli was a nice touch to add a level of flavor to the dessert which didn't overpower the panna cotta itself. Overall, I'm really impressed. Especially since I was in attendance with a large party. All of our dishes came out in a timely manner and were well spaced to really appreciate each dish. The cocktail menu and the wine selection was also very impressive and I feel like the amount of options were well balanced, many of which would complement each dish. Our service was great! The servers were friendly, personable, and very prompt with bringing out each dish. I especially appreciated how authentic each server was. The girls we had were especially helpful in assisting us in our selections in which options to choose off the menu based on their favorites. Overall, I would highly recommend coming to this restaurant if you want, authentic, flavorful, and delicious homemade Italian dishes. I can tell the chef puts time and effort into each plate not only in building these flavors but also presentation. Coming here, would be great for dates, special events, anniversaries, and to have a nice night out with the family, friends, and someone special.

    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.

    When you picture your wedding day, you imagine everything you've dreamed about your entire life…read morecoming together perfectly. While nothing could take away the joy of marrying my best friend, Da Capo of Litchfield came incredibly close to overshadowing what should have been one of the happiest days of our lives. December 17, we met with one of Da Capo's managers during a casual lunch. We mentioned that we were planning a June wedding, and she enthusiastically told us that Da Capo had hosted weddings before and would be happy to accommodate ours. She painted a beautiful picture of what our day could be. We loved the restaurant, especially the garden, and after that conversation, we were excited to book our wedding there. It felt like the perfect place. A few weeks before our wedding, we finalized our menu with management. We selected an Apple Harvest Salad, Fried Calamari, Da Capo Chips, Rigatoni Bolognese, Chicken Piccata, Penne alla Vodka, bread, assorted desserts, coffee, tea, and soda. We were quoted $46 per person for our 40 guests, and everything appeared to be in order. The morning of our wedding was when everything began to fall apart. We arrived early to decorate, only to find the venue filthy. We had specifically been told that the deck would be power washed before our wedding because we planned to hang wisteria flowers, decorate the space, set up an arch, and arrange the tables ourselves. Instead, there was only one employee there--a cook who also handled landscaping. He had absolutely no idea there was a wedding taking place that day. Shortly afterward, the manager called my husband--not to welcome us or apologize--but to question what he was doing because the owners had seen us on the security cameras hanging our decorations and were upset. Nothing had been prepared. Nothing had been set up. It immediately became obvious that our wedding had not been communicated or planned properly. My husband kept all of this from me while I was getting ready because he didn't want anything to ruin what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. Looking back, I'm incredibly grateful that he carried that burden so I could simply focus on marrying the man I love. Unfortunately, the problems didn't end there. When we arrived for our reception, we were told that Da Capo "doesn't normally do weddings"--a shocking statement considering they were the ones who encouraged us to book our wedding months earlier and assured us they had hosted weddings before. To make matters worse, there was only **one server assigned to care for 40 guests.** One server was expected to take drink orders, serve appetizers, organize the buffe, refill beverages, clear tables, and serve dessert. This was unfair to our guests and especially unfair to the server, who worked tirelessly and did everything she possibly could. She deserved support that management failed to provide. The food was another enormous disappointment. There was simply **not enough food for the 40 guests we paid for.** Many of our family members barely had anything to eat. Several guests commented that portions were gone before everyone had been served. As the bride, I hardly had an opportunity to eat, and my husband barely ate either. It was heartbreaking to realize that our guests--people who came to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives--left hungry. The professionalism from management was equally disappointing. Rather than acknowledging the problems or attempting to make things right, they were rude and dismissive toward my husband throughout the day. During our wedding ceremony, there were other patrons standing on the deck overlooking our ceremony, creating distractions during one of the most intimate moments of our lives. When my husband respectfully mentioned this concern, instead of apologizing or showing understanding, management responded with attitude and made him feel as though he had no right to even bring it up. On a day when we expected compassion and professionalism, we were instead met with disrespect. What disappointed us the most happened after the wedding. We reached out to management in hopes of discussing what had gone wrong and giving them an opportunity to acknowledge our concerns. Instead, we were met with more attitude and defensiveness. There was no genuine apology, no accountability, and no indication that they understood why we were so disappointed. The overall impression was that they believed everything had gone perfectly and that our concerns simply didn't matter. As customers who entrusted them with one of the most important days of our lives, that response was incredibly disheartening. No couple should have to worry about venue staff, inadequate food, poor communication, or rude treatment on their wedding day. Even more importantly, no couple should have their legitimate concerns dismissed after the fact. DaCapo gets 0 stars what once was a place we loved we will never patronize again.

    "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.
