Awesome place with not only great food, but awesome people! They cater too! Looking for great Italian? Check them out!
We truly love this place, the food was absolutely delicious. Our services was excellent. We enjoyed our meal very much. As you can see, we had already started to eat. We were visiting family and decided to go out to eat, this definitely was an awesome choice.
Passed by many times “Italian Friendly’s” and then popped in tired of the same ol’ same ol’. Very surprisingly excellent, tasty and tasteful. Definitely qualifies as a new “go to”. Food and service were way higher than expected. Try it and see what you think.
Listen..... I know "5 stars" might be a little ridiculous, considering all of the Michelin rated chefs and restaurants out there (that I've never eaten at) ... However, this is seriously THE BEST FOOD AT A RESTAURANT IN PA, D.C., NEW YORK, OR JERSEY, THAT I'VE EVER HAD.My father and I were in Torrington to pick up a piece of machinery. We stayed at the hotel right next door (basically...). The prices were expensive, but not more expensive than anywhere else we've ever been. And the food... man it was worth every single penny. We left with a second meal(leftovers). The portions were fantastic. So considering the size of the meal (and the amazing quality!), and considering you probably will get leftovers out of it, the price was excellent.I had the lobster ravioli, and there were CHUNKS of lobster. We have a well known local seafood supply near us in scranton that we love (Southside seafood - for those interested seriously amazing fish) and these were way better the best I've had and freshly made (not taking anything away from s.s. their product is always stellar!) MY dad got the Mediterranean fish. It was enough for 2 people that were "starving"!(as well as delicious) i was stuffed after 3 or 4 of the ravioli, my father could barely eat 1/4 of what he was served...I read the reviews and was somewhat skeptical. But not after that meal. (We also had salad, drinks and 2 soups and n appetizer of grilled shrimp risotto, all were amazing.) It's worth the 4 hour drive and I am writing this review about a month later only because I am recalling how good it was! Seriously, great job to Sarah, our server. The cooks/ chef and owner... I'll NEVER FORGET THE FOOD I received in my random one night stay in Torrington. Seriously. Go there. Tell them not to rush if you think im making this up.(I'll feel bad if you aren't as pleased with your meal. All the pasta seemed like it was made that day, including my ravioli and the care for freshness and authenticity truly showed.)I'll be eating there again, even if I have to make up an excuse to drive to Connecticut, and pay 100 bucks for a hotel room. I was truly, honestly, floored by how good the meal was. Dine with confidence!
Food was delicious and our server was great as well. This was my first time eating here and would recommend to any if your in the area.
Had birthday dinner here. Food was excellent and very nice staff and owner.
I ordered pasta, pizza and mozzarella. EVERYTHING was burnt and overcooked. I feel like maybe it would have tasted good because it smelled good but I wouldn't know because everything was burnt.
Last night my husband and I went in for dinner.. the place was jamming for a Tuesday. We were shocked. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive, the food was amazing, and at the end the chef even came out and chatted with us for 5 mins. It was a really awesome experience from start to finish!
Food is hit or miss. Some dishes are fine, edible. Some dishes are 4-stars (reserving 5-stars for fine dining). Decor tips the scales down on the rating. Were the valences left behind when Friendlys moved out of the space? The tile floors probably were... and the bright ceiling lights as well. Go for an affordable family dinner, not for a romantic higher-end dining date.
Nice atmosphere , friendly servers. Delicious food.
