“This was the first time visiting and I couldn’t have been happier with the service and the food! The Chicken Majestic was fantastic, only to be outdone by the Lamb Kurma which was delicious. The Garlic cheese Naan was the best naan I’ve ever tasted! The waitress and I think owner was so nice and attentive. I will absolutely be going back and I would highly recommend going if you’re in the area”

Natural Kitchen 1249 W Main St, Waterbury Fast Food • $

“Not only are the prices very reasonable, the portions are also fantastic. The bowls are huge. For reference, I ordered a make it yourself burrito, and a salmon bowl (pictured below). I inhaled the burrito before I could take a picture, and it was delicious. I wasn’t expecting it to be seaweed wrapped instead of a regular wrap, but I’m happy it was. Keep that in mind if you order on an app. The wraps are seaweed. Still, it was delicious, filling, and healthy. I could only get maybe a quarter through the bowl before I was too full to continue. And again, it was delicious.

If you’re health conscious, and looking for quick meals without breaking the bank, I highly recommend this place. I’m upset it has taken me this long to try it out.”

Caffè Italia 1556 N Main St, Waterbury Cafe • $

“Writing this review as much for the restaurant/cafe as for sibling business next store, the commercial espresso repair business also operating under the name Cafe Italia.

I found these guys looking for a specialist to rehab a commercial Nuova Simonelli single-head machine we use in our retail showroom. And I came to the right place!

Incredible workshop and know-how. These guys have full lathe and CNC capabilities to make their own parts as needed.They've also got a direct lines to Italy to order parts direct and I wouldn't bring my machine to any other place for service.

Good honest old world excellence -- highly recommend the repair and service aspect!

But I also got to experience the restaurant/cafe when picking up my machine after it was serviced. Feels like walking through a portal directly to Southern Italy. This place had incredible coffee and more authentic atmosphere than most other cafes this side of the Atlantic.

Stand at the counter and order an espresso -- worth it!

Stand-up family business. They're super busy so we were lucky they were able to take our repair. They even came back for a housecall after we experienced a later issue with the machine that was totally unrelated to their work -- small bit of sediment from the city waterline clogged a valve. These guys came in like a NASCAR pit crew and tore the machine down, diagnosed and fixed the issue, and left w/out accepting a dime.

Recommend their repair service 10/10.

And the cafe might be an 11.”

“9.2.23 we got married at our hometown fair grounds and had Frankie’s cater! It was PERFECTION!! Everyone was blown away when they found out that’s what we were having for food, so fun, and who doesn’t love hot dog and burgers (especially FRANKIE’s)?! There was only a couple cooks/servers and MAN OH MAN did they crank it all out! We had around 160 people and they had a line as soon as the food was out, serving up all the goods in such a timely manor. They cooked and served for about 3 hours.. it worked out SO well, many had 2nds and 3rds, plus we had left overs 😍. Everyone was RAVING! we couldn’t have had it any better, Thank you guys SO much!”

“I have been in foodservice all my life. From catering to Nutrition, to elderly and child nutrition in the education system. And this place is clean and well organized.
I needed a cake in a hurry. I called and they not only answered my call but they came above and beyond. Cake was sweet but not too sweet. It was moist and fluffy. The crème was smooth and soft. It served more than I was told it would. Just a pleasure.
I will be there again. I loved the attention I received.”

Ruby Thai Kitchen 495 Union St, Waterbury Thai • $$

“If you want a really good bowl of ramen noodle soup, you will find it here in the Brass Mill Center food court.

I had the tonkotsu ramen which is a pork soup with slices of roast pork. The broth and pork were very good and tasted authentic, along with all the usual toppings you will find at a quality Japanese ramen restaurant. I also had the fried chicken wings and they were as tasty and crispy as in Thai restaurants.

They also have a buffet of the usual, ready to eat dishes you will find at the majority of asian restaurants in mall food courts, although the Ramen took about 10-15 minutes to prepare in the back kitchen.

*It's actually "Basil Thai Kitchen" but Google Maps doesn't believe me.”
