    My Mothers Chips
    Jalisa C.

    My teammate and I were in town for work. One of of teammates highly recommended this place Location: the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL... reminds me of Italy which I appreciated. Parking: there is a private lot which makes parking convenient. Service: I made reservations and glad I did, they are a busy establishment. We had no wait, the service was good... I'm from the south so I excepted service to be friendlier but it wasn't horrible. Ambience/Crowd: Family friendly, almost a romantic vibe. Food/drink: 5/10 the mother's chips were great!! I ordered the Marsala and it wasn't good to me. My teammates food looked great! I think I just ordered the wrong thing Will I be back? I would go back and try something different.

    Went during Social Hour and got great deals on apps, drinks and meals! Food was delicious. Server and all staff were attentive and friendly.

    This place was recommended for it's great ambiance and it didn't disappoint. The outdoor patio and gardens are beautiful, especially in spring. The inside is as beautiful as the outside with a giant chandelier that you can't help but look at. There were a lot of great options on the menu at reasonable prices that wouldn't break the bank. The free bread was fresh, warm, and delicious. For a drink, I got the Sicilian Paloma, which was light and refreshing on a warm day. I got the Penne Alla Vodka with grilled chicken. My only complaint would be that there was no parmesan or romano cheese grated on top of the dish, which I would've expected. Overall, the service was good and I have no complaints in that department. I would go back again and try another meal.

    Price is reasonable for the serving. You will get the worth of the money you spend. Food does not disappoint! My favorites - My Mother's Chips and the Apple Salad with Grilled Salmon. I always order these. That night we had the dinner, they had a 50 or 60 oz Tomahawk Steak with some Brussel sprouts. Tempting but it was a lot to eat! My parents ate the Calamari Fra Diavolo - another staple! They also gave us Cannoli for dessert as it was my husband's birthday celebration. Light and delectable. Although it was so packed - Always. It means everything is good that's why they have plenty of customers. Handicapped accessible. Tight table spaces but manageable. Very accommodating staff and they are very attentive. OVER ALL! Always an amazing experience. We always come back and enjoy our food.

    I have been wanting to try this place out for years- my mom, and grandma grew up in Cheshire & know the ins/outs of this town. My grandma perceives this place as "overhyped" but I always wanted to check out the vibe. I went to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday, so I made a reservation for 6:45pm. Despite the reservation, we waited a half an hour to be seated. I was already knocking a star off, but the complimentary salad & bread sold me! So much salad and bread & good quality too!! I ended up ordering the large margarita pizza, which honestly looked like the best value out of the other offerings. It came with so much pizza and the pizza seemed very authentic/neapolitan style. The tiramisu was also super good and moist. Overall, I was impressed with the pizza! I will come back for the chicken parm with vodka sauce at some point! :)

    Yum yum yum!

    Great portions, food is delicious but kind of a long wait even with a reservation ...hard to hear when your name was being called when everyone was crowded around the front of the restaurant entrance. Chicken parm was the husbands favorite. Great flexibility to accommodate a small child's Eating presents

    How could you not love this place? As soon as you pull in this beautifully landscaped property is like a little oasis. You can even see the view of the outdoor patio from the street. The flowers and the garden like grounds make you feel at peace. Then when you walk in to the biggest light fixture that staples this restaurant you know you're at Viron Rondo Osteria. This spot is always packed, even for a Monday lunch so make sure you call to make a reservation or use open table online. We were seated inside near the fireplace. I must say the tables were very close together though. The lady next to us hit my chair as she was in hers, and the table next to us filled into our conversation. Although I didn't mind, some people might want a little more intimacy. I started off with a glass of Cabernet. The waiter was attentive and friendly. We also started with the appetizer of the famous "my mother chips" which are so addictive, it's a must if you never had. I ordered the chicken parm with a Caesar salad and my daughter had the pollo Milanese. Both portions were huge and delicious. It was my birthday month and because I had signed up to receive emails, I received a complimentary tiramisu dessert with a purchase of an entree. It was so creamy and yummy. My experience is always a good one here at Viron! Love them!

    Get ready for your mind to be blown! The experience at Viron Rondo is like no other. The staff were great, the space is enormous with many dining rooms, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere and the menu prices make it feel like a fine dining experience--but with massive portion sizes. You definitely get more than what you pay for and leftovers. I recommend making a reservation which can easily be made on their website through Open Table. My team at work surprised and treated me to lunch (because of a new foodie is coming soon!) Viron Rondo's had been on my foodie bucket list for a long time and this is one of their favorite spots in town. For the table, we ordered the My Mother's Chips. They are known for these and were crispy, perfectly salted, and delicious. They were, stacked high, crispy eggplant and zucchini chips with a thick house-made tzatziki dip. Our server also brought pieces of bread. I decided to get the Fettuccine Lump Crab which was very warm and cozy for the chilly fall day. The light sauce wasn't heavy and the fresh tomatoes, crab meat, and bread crumbs mixed together made it feel like a home cooked meal. It had a good flavor. My plate of pasta was two meals worth. My coworkers loved their food, some of their picks were the Classico Panini, Rigatoni Bolognese, Orecchiette Salsiccia, and Mediterranean Salad. I apologize for the lack of pictures because they don't understand that the phone eats first yet. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and can't believe it took me so long to try them. They are easily one of the best restaurants in the area.

    Great service from Danny! Made my niece's birthday very special. She was kind and attentive. The meal portions were large but the food is delicious.

    This is the first time I had trouble rating a restaurant. We arrived, and were seated immediately by the wonderful hostess and greeted almost instantly by the waiter. Once looking at the menu, I knew I really wanted to get my mother's chips, which was just fried zucchini and eggplant chips with a tzatziki dip. This was really really yummy and I would totally come back and get this again. I also really enjoyed the bread and olive oil dip that we got. At the start of this meal I thought this place would be a real hit. Now for the entrée, I was very very disappointed. I got the orecchiette that came with broccoli rabe, cannellini beans with an aglio e olio base. This had no flavor. What I would think would be a very simple dish this was not good. I think the cannellini beans overpowered it and had very few pieces of broccoli. I subbed the sweet Italian sausage with spinach instead. My friend got the same, but with the Italian sausage and also complained that it was way too plain. Overall I was disappointed. Next time may have to try the brick oven pizza or a different type of pasta, but unfortunately, I'm rating them off on this one entree as it was not good and probably give it a 1/5. If I'm in the area, I might try this again, but would probably just get the appetizer.

    Always a great place for a good meal. This time was for dinner. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The food is amazing and the portions are HUGE! I had enough leftovers for TWO nights. I had the chicken marsala. My kid had pasta with meat sauce. My DH had an apple salad with chicken. All so good!

    Do you have to call for a reservation?

    You can call and make reservations. I made my reservation on OpenTable. OpenTable provide you with all the available time slots.

    Do you have outdoor bar you can sit at?What does outdoor space mean?

    YES!! They have a beautiful outdoor space. It does get crowded if you go during peak hours.

    Do they ever have live music?

    There is no live music but they do have music playing that is fitting for the atmosphere.

    Are there any Vegan options? And does anybody know if the mothers chips are vegan (fingers crossed) i know the dip they come with is not.

    Honestly don't know , but I do know my girlfriend is Gluten free and she was happy. Im sure they have vegan pizza. Best bet is check out menu and make a call.

    Is the outdoor seating heated now that it's starting to get cold?

    Yes - nice and warm.

    Saying you have vegan options should constitute at least one hot option. When asked what vegan options you offer, I was just told "just take the cheese off". When I pressed her for more info, basically the option is a salad without the cheese?

    I'm pretty sure they don't proclaim themselves to be a vegan restaurant. And their salads are hearty and amazing! You wouldn't be sacrificing if you had one as a meal. Maybe start with a glass of wine.

    Is the restaurant open on Christmas Eve?

    Hi Joe! Looks like they are open now until 10 pm. I'd call for reservations though. That place is full house. Not sure how busy it'll be today but normally it is. Hope this helps.…

The tables are very crowded together. THE BATHROOMS ARE DIRTY, NO TOILET PAPER OR PAPER TOWELS IN THE LADIES ROOM AND STUFF ALL OVER THE FLOOR IN THE MEN'S ROOM. NOW FOR THE FOOD!! Veal Milanese, not too bad but not a hint of lemon, not even a wedge on the plate. For $32 Shrimp and crab special, FIRST...NO FLAVOR WHAT SO EVER!!! Totally under cooked pasta, (I am Italiano, I know Al Dente) totally WAY OVER COOKED SHRIMP and some tuna fish type crab meat you had to dig for to get on the fork. JUST AN ALL AROUND TERRIBLE DISH. For $38 Then, after expressing to the staff and talking to the owner about a dish we ate a few bites because it was so horrible, it was ignored by them and we had to pay for a $40 dish that was SHIT. SHE, the owner who honestly looked more like a poorly dress hostess, had the nerve to come back to our table, put her hand on my girls shoulder with a, "are you alright" comment rather than EVER ASKING if there was anything she could do to correct this culinary disaster. THIS PLACE ISN'T EVEN WORTH THE TWO STARS I HAVE GIVEN IT. It was very difficult to understand the mostly Spanish based staff.... if that doesn't scream Italian I don't know what does...However the deserts were not bad but almost certainly come in a box on a truck and not made in house. BOTTOM LINE IS, THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT ITALIAN DINING EXPERIENCES IN CONNECTICUT...DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PLACE LIKE I DID.

The price for takeout for these (3) things were on the high side to not include a side salad. With that said, we were aware that those weren't included as it wasnt listed on their online ordering. We just figured the portion for both Entrees were likely larger and thats why you paid a la carte for the salad. We come back home with the takeout and to our surprise for quite a high price, the portions were small. How small, each meal fit with pasta inside a plastic container, similar to those used for Asian takeout. For any other restaurant that serves Chicken Parmigana, its always been a larger round metal dish with pasta on the side. Typically with 2 pieces of chicken. Putting portion aside as one can argue that we may have been able to find that out before ordering, the (2) entrees were not great. The Chicken Parmigana had one piece of chicken and the chicken was charred, dry, minimal amount of cheese and the both the chicken and pasta itself had a scarce amount of pasta sauce. I found myself having to scrub the side of the dish for any sauce left. The lemon bay chicken was also quite dry and unfortunately the mixture of recip (chicken, pasta and sauce) was quite tasteless. I'm not typically one to leave a 1 or 2 star reviews often, as I'd rather just not go again to the place where I had said experience but between the quality of food, price and portion, this place falls into a bit of an exception for me. Look, I've eaten at many places, if your portions are going to small for the price (and without sides), then the quality needs to EXCEED the excepted regional standard for that dish to justify that reasoning. This experience did not do that, instead we are left with half of take home container of each meal that we will have to toss in trash for Fathers Day.

My friend ordered the gnocchi with the pink sauce and absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure what to get, but I got the marinara sauce. I was not aware at the time, but the marinara sauce is actually very spicy. I really loved it and was happy with my choice. My friend tried it and thought it was too spicy for her but really loved her choice. My other friend, very much enjoyed the linguine and clams. No bread is offered complementary. Small salads did come complementary with the dinners. Overall, we were all happy and we all would like to come again.
