Golden Irene's

I'll be honest and say that when my boyfriend and I decided to go here for dinner I was a little skeptical. I hadn't heard of it before and it seemed to be located a bit off the beaten path. I looked at the menu online however and really liked the options, so we gave it go. There was plenty of parking and a sign near the road so people don't miss it and drive by. The inside was dark and cozy feeling, I really liked the atmosphere. We were immediately greeted and then sat at a table in the corner. Our waitress, April, was one of the nicest people and seemed so happy to be at work! She just made me smile. She was attentive and quick to come to our table to check on us. I'm not sure if he was the manager or the owner, but he also stopped in a few times to check on us. The food was amazing. Ap

My wife and I ate here for the first time recently and had a very good experience. We were surprised by the atmosphere inside and only had a short wait for a table. Once seated we were brought a small portion of bread which was very warm and soft along with dipping oil which wall filled with garlic, salt, pepper and other herbs. We started with calamari which was very well seasoned and the peppers added a nice kick. I ordered the pork chop which came with a side of mac and cheese - overall it was good but the mac and cheese wasn't quite creamy enough for my liking. The chop was cooked to absolute perfect though with great grill marks. My wife ordered chicken rigatoni which was also very good. Both dishes could have used a touch more seasoning but overall a great place to eat.

Great food. Bar seats are a little tight but amazing bartender. My boyfriend had the bacon cheeseburger and it was absolutely amazing. I have never said that about a burger before!! I had the squash involintini which was delicious as well. We order their new yorl style pizza to go the following evening! May return to night for drinks and apps 😋🤔

We were traveling through Hartford and found a friend we'd met in another country(!!) and ended up here, in this off the main drag, divey looking restaurant. Pizza in so many combinations, seafood, burgers, homemade pasta! Hooray!! A little of everything on the menu. I ordered the Pasta Carbonara, my partner decided on the Shrimp and Pasta special and our friend had the American Cheeseburger with homemade chips. The portions are decent, we made it back to the hotel with a massive amount of leftovers. The service was good, friendly waitress. Intimate patio with a gas heater for those chilly nights is a nice perk. If we lived around this area of the world, we would definitely revisit.

Off the main path but a good find. Have been here a few times and the food is always good. Friendly staff and a nice patrio to sit on.
