“Decor was of a bistro and had ample space. The staff very welcoming, helpful, and professional.This is farm to table restaurant The food was high quality, freshly prepared but came out in a timely fashion. The grilled whole Bronzino and the pork skewers really went above and beyond for the little touches that might get overlooked show a real pride in their food and service.The owner definitely went above and beyond to make a great experience even better. We will definitely be back again soon.”
“Absolutely the best seafood around here. Only 11 tables, so need a reservation. Service is very friendly and I never felt rushed. A BYOB which is great. It is a seafood shop as well so atmosphere is nothing fancy. My favorite place for seafood!”
“Their pizza is terrific, and unusual - square crusts!? My wife had the gluten free which is the best we've tasted, ever. There was a small error in our order which I will put down to the fact that it was the superbowl and the place was hopping. Veggie Pizza was great with the truffle oil touch and the pepperoni was thick cut and flavorful. Will definitely order again.”
“We had about 9 trays of food catered for our wedding. Mario the owner was great with the whole process. The food was exceptional. A lot of compliments from our guest.”
“Such good sushi. Creative speciality rolls that are so yummy and colorful. The staff is super kind and accommodating, even texts order updates with me when needed. Been going to Nori for years and still love it!”
“Caldwell diner is wonderful. I have ordered takeout several times now and have always been extremely pleased. I love that when I call to place an order I always get a friendly voice on the other end of the phone - they are SO polite and courteous. The food is delicious and you can tell it is prepared and packaged with care. We have had the Italian panini, veggie and beef burgers, chicken fingers, garden Salad with grilled chicken, and the chicken salad club so far. I am hoping they add matzo ball soup to the menu in the future. Apparently the owners have two other establishments - Tavern 292 in Fairfield and another Tavern 73 in Pine Brook but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Anyway, highly recommend!!!”
“What a delightful gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were embraced by the warm ambiance and greeted like family. The food? Simply divine! Each dish burst with authentic Italian flavors, reminding me of my mother’s cooking. Portions were very generous, but not comically large enough to take away from its quality, ensuring we left satisfied. We’re already planning our next visit. We’re already missing the stuffed zucchini flowers! The attention to detail and the care put into every plate truly shows the passion this family-run restaurant has for their craft. A must-visit for anyone seeking an intimate dining experience.”
“Fresh food and amazing staff. We were looking for a new spot for some street food (tacos) and we were half we tried this place. Warm welcome when we came in we ordered the Beef Nachos they were stacked high and the beef very tender. For the mains a spicy shrimp and buttermilk chicken taco all were amazing as you can see by the pictures. We had homemade key lime pie and bread pudding for dessert and they did not disappoint. We spoke to the owner a very nice man and he comes up with weekly specials posted on Instagram. Place is also BYOB. We will be backParking: Parking in the rear”
