Customer Reviews
My husband and I just had our first visit here for our anniversary dinner. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful! First off the staff was so very friendly and helpful, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was lively. Ask for Amber as a waitress, she was just amazing!
Excellent,fresh food every time we go, huge portions, nice selection of changing seasonal specials. I like the family atmosphere upstairs and more lively lounge downstairs and outdoor dining options. The fried artichokes are to die for! Highly recommend.
On the recommendation of a friend who raved about Fornarellis we drove 35 minutes on a Friday. If I could give the atmosphere a negative star I would. The floor and the table was sticky, decor was dingy. It was loud, which was surprising because there was only one other table in the dining area, but there is a bar that is separated by lattice and the noise carried. The service was decent, the waiter was the only one with any personality. The food…started with polenta fries and they were ok the sauce was the best thing on the plate. The Modesto salad which I was really hoping was a true mimic of the original Modestos in Yantic…it reminded me of it but missed the mark. My husband had chicken Marsala and the sauce was off. I had the lemon chicken and scallop potatoes as you can see in the p
Found this place coming from Hebron Light Show. The driveway was very icy and almost slipped twice but made it inside. Sat by the door, right away but wasnt given menus. After a bit we asked for some and the items on the menu and specials sounded delish. They gave us bread which was a bit overdone but honestly was very tasty. I ordered Lemon Chicken and my fiance ordered Pappardelle Bolognese. I had a few tweaks because of allergies and it wasnt a problem . The one thing I did notice was the host was not just doing her job but she was helping her waiters .She sat the people, she took away dishes and took the bill. I was very impressed and told her so. The food was very delicious and I ordered a salad instead of my vegetable. Salad was very fresh, a little to much dressing for my liking but
December 6, 2025. First time here. Excellent service, cozy and warm inside. Felt welcomed from the time stepped in. Calamari - good. Martini with blue cheese olives - fantastic. Baked haddock - very good. Blackened seafood risotto - amazing. It was busy on Saturday night, did not rushed at all. Wish we could have had dessert, too full... next time. Generous portions. Looks like they have bands on Saturday.
