I love eating out at restaurants, and this easily has been the best Italian food and atmosphere I’ve ever experienced. The portion sizes are perfect for how rich the food is and all the spaces in the restaurant are beautiful and intentionally decorated. Incredible restaurant.
The food was delicious. The wine very good. Attentive staff and a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend this restaurant and I am definitely coming back.
Edit: Via Sforza reached out and refunded the added tip. Thank you Johnny! Most of the experience was excellent. We were a party of 6. The food was very good, service excellent. My problem was that when the check came, I wasn't informed that the gratuity had already been added in. In my experience, this isn't done for groups less than 10 or so. Even then, it's not a problem - provided I'm informed. The result is an additional tip was added to the final cost. Again, not a problem had I been told that the tip was already included. Almost certainly I would have added more to the tip anyway but the amount might have been different.
Hey, let me tell you guys something. Come in close, okay you listening? This place is authentic, cozy, well priced and run incredibly well. The service here is fast, professional and organized. The owner cares about his now 30 year old business and it shows. The restaurant is impeccably clean and well taken care of. Come here if you want a nice Italian meal in a friendly/cozy setting. You won’t be disappointed! Date night and family night! Lunch here would be a good option too as the food here is of a super high quality. Sincerely a pleased and satisfied customer!
My 3rd time dining at V S, and it's my 3rd time being very satisfied. Beautiful atmosphere, prompt attentive service, excellent quality food, and fairly sufficient portions. Gorganzola salad, Pollo Rigoletto, Baked Shrimp Scampi both over pasta, Gelato, and a Canolli. I'll be back.
Authentic southern Italian cuisine with consistently good food. A warm and inviting atmosphere with terrific service. A true family run restaurant. The wine list is very good and the pizza is some of the best in Connecticut. I highly recommend this restaurant for its 'Barese' food.
High quality Italian food made with compassion. Authentic recipes that will bring you back to the motherland. Most definitely recommend
Cute Italian feel! Staff was amazing and food was even better! The Bolognese and Caesar salad is my favorite. Marco and Maddie were friendly and knowledgeable! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
