You may want to call before you make the drive because Catano's has been closed during business hours for a couple of weeks now. Unless they're on vacation.

I've found this treasure a few months ago, and can safely say it's my go to place for Spanish food in CT. I'm an ex-NYer who goes back to Queens for fantastic Puerto Rican food, but can safely say I can save my gas money and come here instead. I've had the pernil, the ribs, the beef stew and chicken along with the yellow rice and red beans. The food is amazingly cooked with the right amount of spices and flavor. Everything tastes awesome and is 100% authentic. I should know, as I grew up surrounded by this type of food. Finally met the owner, Victor, today. Very humble man who leads an amazing staff. They're always attentive and do everything to make you feel welcome. You will not be disappointed. This restaurant is a gem that is a hidden treasure!

Convenient safe parking in front, a small cafeteria style Spanish restaurant. Big menu, big portions. Had the Chicharron Platter, plenty of well-prepared pork, ample portion of rice. Black beans were good.Very clean inside, large kitchen to handle catering. No frills, just good food.My second visit really impressed me, they worked the kinks out. Very organized, big portions, very authentic Spanish food.

2 chicken burritos cost us $31.. the burritos were the size of my head but mostly filled with rice. Don't get me wrong, food was good but it all fell apart immediately. The cost is what really surprised me. Service was great.

My car died on the way to pick up my takeout order and I called the restaurant to let them know and see what time they closed. The owner was so kind and gracious, and offered to bring my dinner to me on the side of the road. I waited in the car for an hour and a half for AAA to arrive and had a delicious hot meal while I waited. It was freezing out, and I was so touched that the owner would bring me my food, especially since I used the two good to go app and purchased the meal at a discount. The food was fantastic, and this restaurant deserves every success they have. There are still kind people in the world, and those people happen to make good food! Thank you for your kindness and delicious dinner.

Been here a few times, every time the workers are absolutely lovely, food always amazing and always a great amount. 11/10 always recommend to family and friends ?
Went there once for takeout and dined in once. The food is truly outstanding and the prices reasonable. The only thing better than the food was the people, very friendly and attentive. For sure will be going back regularly.

This is the first time trying the food here and surely won't be the last. We ordered combo #1 for takeout and the chicken and pernil were extremely tasty! Also, for the price paid you get a very large amount lot of food, including empanadas, yucca fries, and rice. Everyone there was extremely friendly, and it looks like a great place to dine-in, which I look forward to doing very soon.Parking: A lot of parking, easy to get to

Tried tonight for the first time. We had their whole rotisserie chicken Peruvian style with rice, beans, and some empanadas. Thoroughly enjoyed all of the food we ordered. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere seemed very chill. Will deff be back to try more of the menu.

I cannot say enough about the incredible food we received from Catanos! We ordered food for 100 people for our Cinco de Mayo bingo event and it was more than we could've ever asked for! The staff are incredible and so easy to work with! We will be back MANY times.
