Zuppa - Unique Italian Pub

One of my top restaurants in Connecticut, hands down. It happens to be owned by people I know, but that’s not why it’s my favorite... the food speaks for itself every single time. Everything that comes out of that kitchen is incredible. The portions are huge (I always leave with leftovers), and somehow it tastes just as amazing...if not better... the next day. They put so much heart into the menu. All the desserts are homemade, and when I tell you the rice pudding is heaven, I mean it... I’ve made a habit of ordering one to go every time. They even had lavender martinis when we were there, and the lavender was grown at the owner’s house and boiled into simple syrup. Like… who does that anymore?! It’s those little touches that make it feel like Italian grandma cooking... cozy, thoughtful,

The greeter was extremely friendly, I give her 10 stars. The food was okay, but I needed more flavor. It was just a little too bland for my palate. Cozy nice restaurant, very clean bathroom — 10 stars.

We started as a party of 5 & unexpectedly turned into a party of ten on a busy Saturday night. They cheerfully accommodated us. The food was incredible, from apps to dessert. I think we tried everything on the menu... eggplant rollatini mozzarella carrozza, cheesy garlic bread, pasta w/ bolognese, shrimp scampi & so much more! The food was so good, we asked the chef to come out so we could thank him personally. Such an incredible night.

My husband and I went for my birthday dinner, we went early and didn't realize that there was a different menu for lunch. The waitress was very kind and gave us a dinner menu. She was very sweet and attentive. We orders the bolognese, in which is amazing and exactly what zi wanted and steak au poivre in which my husband raved about. Well worth going and the prices are decent for the portion size. Thank you for making my day special!

I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of Zuppa until recently - this is totally a hidden gem! Everything was so flavorful, even the olive oil with fresh Italian bread! You can tell everything is made from scratch, and even the drinks were fantastic. The calamari was crispy and served with such a good marinara sauce that I could’ve drank honestly, and the meatballs were fantastic. Delicious French onion soup and Caesar salad, and the chicken Milanese was piled with arugula and veggies. The pork chop was super tender and the homemade cheesecake for dessert was a great way to end the meal. I can’t wait to visit again already! The food came out very quickly, and the servers were attentive. It was a classic dining room and everything was clean.
