Ponza Italian Kitchen & Pizza

"I've driven past this place a million times and FINALLY went because they had a good dance band playing. My awesome date and I had a great meal before we danced. The bread is worth the trip alone, and their vodka sauce was the best I've ever had (and I've tried many). Pimpinella played great dance music the whole time. If you like to dance as we do, you won't sit down (unless you need to catch your breath)!"

"This Norwalk-based family-owned establishment has been a part of the community since my childhood. Their cuisine is truly exceptional! It’s the only place where you can enjoy both fine dining and live music in such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting for a delightful dinner and drinks experience."

"Food and service is really solid. Really enjoy the food. Only issue seems to be leadership structure. We have twice attempted (for 2 different occasions) to get catering information and to see how we can make it happen. Never a return call. We want to give you money... Don't understand it. Very frustrating. To happen once, I guess things happen... Twice? Implies either organization is lacking or that someone hates money. Whatever the case, still eat there here and there and haven't experienced bad service."

"I had chicken parmigiana with pasta cooked perfectly! Wine was good as well. The best part, heated outdoor dining with free live jazz! It was so enjoyable! Hard to find that in Connecticut! Wonderful waitress too!"

"I came here for a friends birthday dinner. For a large crowd, they had plenty of seating available. The food was delicious and the service was great! Not one plate had food left on it at the end of the night. And we enjoyed the Jell-O shots which were fun and not too strong. Our server knew the menu very well and gave great recommendations, and took our orders for a large group very quickly. I’d say the only downside was how we were placed directly behind the band, which was very loud and our food took a while to come out, but we figured the group size contributed to that and the fact that all of our food was brought out at the same time, which we all appreciated. I’m looking forward to returning to this place again - where the simplest dishes (like chicken tenders, salads and soups) were just as delicious as a fancy pasta dish."
