    Front at an angle. Some parking to the side but limited
    Miguel T.

    This used to be the Tarry Lodge. This new gastro bar is interesting PARKING - as before there are a few spots so generally limited. Two spots were taken away to enable outdoor seating ENTRANCE - it is early so the bar tender quickly greeted us and took us to a table. Actually we are the only ones here. MENU - lots of categories and definitely gastro pub geared but other than the appetizers it's 100% an Italian offering The layout of the menu is like a restaurant ECCO in Trumbull. SERVICE - we came early so we got the pleasure of the bartender and the waitress serving us. Must have to do with the splits on tips LOL BATHROOM - very nice and very clean. There are two in the back that are both unisex, just so u know MUSIC - have to add a note here. The sound system features some older but popular songs but the spin is an unknown to me artist that makes her own spin on the songs. Pretty good but I'm no expert APPETIZERS - I tried the crab cakes as a comparison to other places. Their plate used lump crab with very light breading that was Great! I've had better sauces with crab cakes but the small greens that came with it were the bomb to say the least ENTREES - my wife had the gluten free pizza with the short rib toppings. Although a little overcooked it was very good. I had the chicken scarpillio that was excellent. What I enjoyed was that for the red hot peppers they infused the heat in the sauce with very few small shavings of red pepper for texture. The chicken was different as well with a crispy skin coating as opposed to cooked in the sauce. Mikey liked it! DESERT - didn't engulfed so let me know what u think LOL PRICE - if there is a rub this is it. For two people with a couple of drinks the damage was $134 and with a decent tip $162.

    Morden classy restaurant for group dinner. Food is very good and price is also reasonable. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very pleasant. I ordered grilled octopus and seafood black squid ink pasta. Both very good. Especially pasta was cooked al dente and very fresh Two downside. 1. Crazy noisy and if you want a relaxed cozy dinner with good conversation, this is not a place. We need to scream when talk and i could not hear 30% of my friend's story. 2. Service was not very fast. We waited 25 min -30 min or more from appetizers and had to ask where our pastas were. Overall not bad.

    charged $2.00 per drink for olives for a MARTINI

    The food was fine, good, I've been several times before but will not go back. Two of my daughters and I went to dinner last night and we all ordered a martini. The martinis were $15, which is absolutely fine. BUT they charged me an extra $2.00 per drink for olives. I would have happily paid $17 for the drinks instead of $15, but the fact that they charged me an extra $2.00 for olives was just tacky and unacceptable. I won't be back. The restaurant was basically empty, I can only assume that they are hurting for business if they have to upcharge for olives in a martini. Tarry Lodge was my family's favorite restaurant in Westport. I wanted to love Zucca but it's just not very good. Our waiter was nice, but there is an older waiter there who was rude to me when I walked in. Just really bad experience for food that is fine at best. Won't be back.

    Cheesecake & Cookie skillet

    My friend & I had a really great 1st experience here for dinner. We got a couple cocktails, shared the mozzarella sticks & an order of the Chicken Milanese. She got the cookie skillet & I had the cheesecake for dessert. The service, ambiance, food & drinks were all outstanding. I will definitely be back, as there are many things on the menu that i'd love to try. I do agree with other yelpers who mentioned that there is something for everyone here.

    My friend and I came here and we ordered calamari that was ok had better but we ordered lobster Benedict thst was amazing but the price said 19.95 but the bill said 29.95. I will go back

    If the after of my pasta didn't show you how good this place was I don't know what will lol! Food was delicious, did not wait long for it to arrive. Flavor spot on. Service was great, constantly (but not annoyingly) checking in on us. Restaurant is elegant

    Rigatoni Vodka with Chicken

    Came for a friend's birthday. Restaurant and parking lot are fairly small, but there was street parking close by. Our booth was cozy and perfect for our party. The cocktails were fun and the waiter used a bubble wand for the drinks, which was a nice touch. The arancini was tasty and a good appetizer. Rigatoni vodka was decent. Prices were fair and staff were friendly and attentive.

    Zucca is a great newer Italian place in Westport. My friends and I came here on Wednesday night where they have the prefixed menu for $29, and it was great. I had a very fun drink that was served with a bubble on top. For my appetizer I had the arrancini, which was so savory. My main dish was the vodka rigatoni and it was just as good. The pasta was very fresh and the sauce was perfect. The restaurant itself is very pretty inside, and a place I would very much love to visit again.

    Overall 4 of 5 but rounding up to 5 :)…read more 3 of us had a late lunch around 2 PM. They are 80% full however gave us a very small table and it felt very Squizzy. We had to ask for a bigger table and was led towards the end. Very interesting menu, we had the pu'er tea, which is not very commonly offered in the Chinese restaurants in the area. Love the teapot presentation and overall the branding effort. We tried to order the soup dumpling but was told something wasn't working properly and it's going to take over an hour so next time. Got wontons in chili oil, love the flavor. The mushu pork, a little bit too sweet for me. And the beef chow fun, just can't go wrong with that, and the szichuan pot with cumin lamp. I think this more authentic Chinese but my husband felt the lamb was too oily. I requested to get the little cute cat cup for my daughter's lemonade order and they said yes, so it was a very cute touch. Very happy with the visit definitely a lot of potential we will be back.

We started off with the chili oil dumplings which were super flavorful! For entrees we got the Mongolian beef and the shrimp fried rice. Fried rice was my favorite -- didn't need any soy sauce or duck sauce bc it had enough flavor on its own. For drinks I got the lychee drink which was on the sweeter side for my personal taste. Overall, loved my experience and can't wait to go back to try more menu items.

    Hands down one of my fav. Kawa Ni in Westport. I recently went there for late lunch. Its the kind…read moreof atmosphere that feels trendy without trying too hard. Ive been there for dinner time as well, it's lively, loud in a good way, and immediately feels like somewhere you could stay for hours. I ordered the miso ramen, and it was honestly one of the most satisfying bowls of ramen I've had in Connecticut. The broth was the star of the dish its deep, rich, savory, and layered with that perfect balance of umami and subtle sweetness from the miso and a bit nitty form the sesame seeds. The noodles had the perfect texture: chewy, springy, and able to hold onto the broth beautifully. Nothing was overcooked or mushy . What impressed me most was how balanced the ramen was. Some ramen spots go overboard with salt or spice, but this bowl felt refined. Rich but not greasy. Flavorful but not overpowering. You could tell there was actual technique behind it. The portion size was also generous enough to leave completely full without feeling uncomfortable afterward. The service matched the food perfectly and so freaking sweet. I have trying to rec this all my coworkers

    Ok, where do I even start with this spot!? Highly recommend…read moremaking a reservation because they book up fast. Like one of Westport's hottest restaurants right now! The decor is a lovely authentic izakaya with the wood paneling and everything. It's a beautiful homage to Japanese culture. Ok now menu. Lunch there is great but recommend going for the dinner menu over anything to have more options! The addictive cabbage is just as it says, addicting. It's acidic, savory and has the perfect crunch to it. The crab Rangoons are sooo good. They give you plenty of sauce and you can tell it's the good crab. The cold sesame noodles are perfect! A little bit of heat, a bunch of flavor. I'm drooling just thinking about it! The chili dumplings were good but a little too spicy for me! We also really enjoyed the kimchi carbonara and personally, I'm a sucker for udon noodles! And now the star of the show for me and something I've ordered three times now! The crab fried rice! The crab is so tender and buttery, like it actually melts in your mouth. And the pork belly chunks in it, also tender and delicious. I like dream of this dish every week! And the great thing is you can order the half size during dinner so you can try other things too! This spot is in my top 5 for 2026 so far! Please go try them asap!
