“My husband surprised me with a dinner gathering at Red Lotus. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted by two staff members and the owner Larry. Gary was our server who I must say was by far the best server we have ever had. Gary and Larry truly made us feel like we were the only ones there (they had a full house) the food was delicious we were a party of 8 and all had different plates none of us were disappointed with our food. The presentation of the plates were beautiful! Larry made sure to come to our table and assure we were satisfied with our food and service took time out to talk with us and build a relationship. Thank you Red Lotus from an amazing experience and phenomenal customer service.”

“Humble little store front, with exceptional and very attentive service. We were catered to as soon as we came in, and walked thru learning about the various Korean options on the menu we had never tried. My wife had a great sushi roll, I tried the Dolsot Bibimbap, which was sizzling hot, was a generous serving and mixed for me at the table. We got a lesson in Soju (only had sake prior to this) which was fun and crisp. Would happily go again!”

“We had an amazing experience at Ritrovo for my daughter's bridal shower. Jaime and staff/waiters went above and beyond. Food was amazing, wait staff was attentive and friendly and even helped bring all the presents out to the car. The room looked elegant and was set up perfectly for our party size. Everyone raved about the food and service. Jaime was so accommodating and easy going. He makes you feel like family. I highly recommend Ritrovo's for their food or if you are looking to have an event at a restaurant!”

“We had the most wonderful experience at Caloroso Eatery & Bar. Unbeknownst to me, my family planned a surprise birthday party and had it at Caloroso’s in early December. Because the weather was still good, the party took place in the Sky Terrace…the space was very inviting and large enough to accommodate the 33 of us! Ashley and others of the Caloroso team made sure that no one went thirsty or hungry! The buffet of chicken parm, chicken marsala, pasta, salad, and more was totally delicious and plentiful! The large screen in the room made it possible for all to see the birthday trivia game through which I relived lots of happy memories and milestones!

“Oh my gosh!! What a delicious meal we just had!! We found several gift cards in a drawer and visited Outback Steakhouse in Shelton. The outdoor seating area was perfect! The server, James, was very attentive and helpful. The food was delivered in a timely fashion and was wonderful! My scallops and shrimp were cooked to perfection and the Cajun seasoning was spot on. Keith's steak was cooked just as he requested. The portions were terrific! My cheesecake was smooth and yummy and Keith's chocolate dessert was a real treat. I wish I knew who gave us the gift card as I'd love to thank them!! I hope you'll consider patronizing Outback Steakhouse in Shelton!! We'll definitely be back!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼”

“Randomly stumbled upon Gaetanos in Westport yesterday when looking for a place to get sandwiches before my son’s baseball game. Having grown up in Belmont Little Italy for the first 22 years of my life I was skeptical about the “Arthur Ave style..” claim on the sign. Well I can tell you they delivered and then some! Was warmly greeted, handled samples of delicious cheeses and more. They were too skeptical when I said I grew up on Arthur Ave but once we started chatting they knew I wasn’t BSing. Saw familiar faces and reminisced about life on Arthur Ave. The owners are warm and kind - the real deal keeping it true to the Arthur Ave spirit. Dare I say they might even do it better!! I can’t say enough about the excellent food and service. If I ever find myself in Westport again I will certainly make a visit! Aside from my son’s team’s win, this nostalgic experience truly made my day and made me feel like I was back home in the Bronx when life was more simple. And yes, everything we ordered and sampled was delicious! No skin on the eggplant and bread from Addeo - doesn’t get any better!”

“4 of us had dinner last night, food was excellent! The eggplant rollatini was stuffed with ricotta, tender eggplant and delicious sauce. My husband had sausage & mushroom pizza. Nice crust, just enough toppings and again, that sauce! Fried calamari was tender & crispy. 6 nice size shrimp in the cocktail. If I had anything to complain about it would be the cocktail sauce was a bit wimpy for my taste. More horseradish, guys! Lol Service was super, empty glasses and plates were removed after we finished. Cozy atmosphere, nice music at a good volume. I highly recommend the place! <3”

The General Taos and orange chicken are crispy and tasty, perfectly spicy and just the right amount of that sticky brown sauce.

“My heritage is Italian and for the majority of my life I lived in a Italian community in NY. When I moved ti Shelton Connecticut, I found myself in search of a good Italian Restaurant! My search ended when I found Matto’s Wine bar in Shelton. My waitress immediately tended to our every need. Her name was Chelsea and she took the time to explain to us how the items we were interested in were prepared. She gave us great recommendations and never rushed us to order. I love margaritas so my drink order was easy. My wife on the other hand likes sweet and unusual drinks. Chelsea recommended a drink with Italian ice in it and my wife was in Heaven! I can assure you that the food is delicious and definitely authentic Italian. The meatballs were phenomenal as was my veal cutlet and my wife’s pasta. Though they were extremely busy the manager, Mr. Ricky Rosario was out on the floor helping serve customers. If I even looked his wsy he came to our table to see if we needed anything. I honestly felt like royalty as they couldn’t do enough for us. I would definitely recommend this establishment as the good and service were outstanding. Ask for Chelsea as your waitress though they are all equally good.”

“Food was excellent. My friend ordered the sea bass and loved it. I ordered one of the salad/rice bowls and it was delicious. Suzanne was the best waitress ever! She was friendly, funny and gave good recommendations regarding the menu. Ended up having friends show up and none of us were without service when it was needed. She was always there with a smile! Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“I am on a team from my church, planning my Pastor's 60th Birthday and her 4th year as Pastor of our church. A few of the team members came to Luzara Sweets on Saturday, April 25, 2026, for a tasting - the cupcakes were delicious. We had 2) The TRIPLE CHOCOLATE & the RED VELVET, oh so MOORE AMAYESINGLY TASTY than I could have imagined & [the frosting] oh boy, just thinking of it, I can't wait to go back. Also, let me tell you about the SERVICE - It Was Fire - it's so refreshing to enter a clean establishment and to talk to someone who has complete knowledge of the product and is JUST NICE. I truly recommend this bakery for all your Sweet Needs. And Tell Her I Sent You!”

“Randomly stumbled upon Gaetanos in Westport yesterday when looking for a place to get sandwiches before my son’s baseball game. Having grown up in Belmont Little Italy for the first 22 years of my life I was skeptical about the “Arthur Ave style..” claim on the sign. Well I can tell you they delivered and then some! Was warmly greeted, handled samples of delicious cheeses and more. They were too skeptical when I said I grew up on Arthur Ave but once we started chatting they knew I wasn’t BSing. Saw familiar faces and reminisced about life on Arthur Ave. The owners are warm and kind - the real deal keeping it true to the Arthur Ave spirit. Dare I say they might even do it better!! I can’t say enough about the excellent food and service. If I ever find myself in Westport again I will certainly make a visit! Aside from my son’s team’s win, this nostalgic experience truly made my day and made me feel like I was back home in the Bronx when life was more simple. And yes, everything we ordered and sampled was delicious! No skin on the eggplant and bread from Addeo - doesn’t get any better!”

“I held the welcome party for my wedding at this restaurant’s private room as we were all staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Shelton only steps away. Their unlimited pizza selection had a nice mix of pies and they had a great menu to choose from. We ended up adding the chicken alfredo full tray and it was delicious. The vibe was very laid back and relaxed which was perfect to catch up with friends and family. The wine selection was great and the room was spacious enough for our group of ~30-35. The staff were friendly and extremely communicative during both the booking process and on the day of. I would definitely recommend this location for an intimate gathering!”

“Piece of Cake by Brittany is great for a last minute cupcake dessert. I walked in mid-afternoon and cleaned house for a variety of cupcakes for kiddos that were coming to my home and also had gluten free option for a brownie-raspberry dessert which my friend loved. I may have lucked out with the timing, but the staff were so welcoming and they made me an iced coffee while I waited. I haven’t ordered for a party yet, but will definitely be emailing Brittany my order when the time comes. The fact that she supports family’s in need, police, emergency services, and veterans, she’s top notch in my family’s eyes.”

I ordered food for pick up but got stuck at work for hours, Sarah was running out to gather supplies for the store and offered to remake it and drop my food off for me. She was so lovely and saved me from starvation! As someone who's worked in food service for years, this is what we call going the extra mile! Also, the buffalo chicken wrap is the best 😊 Thank you Sarah!”

“The McDonald’s in Shelton has been a great addition to the area and is consistently better than the Ansonia and Derby locations when it comes to food quality, service, and actually honoring the deals offered in the app. I’ve ordered everything from breakfast to dinner and plenty of snacks in between, and I’ve enjoyed it all, whether dining in or just quickly hitting the drive-thru. The app always has great deals, and most of the time I don’t even have to spend anything because I can use my rewards points which is a huge plus. My only criticism is that the service inside could be improved. Like many newer locations, they have moved away from traditional counter ordering and now rely almost entirely on the self-service kiosks. Overall, though, this location is reliable, quick, and consistently provides a good experience.”
