Arethusa al tavolo

"Arrived for my birthday reservations at 7:30 pm to find an empty host station, only to be informed that my table was running late. Despite the website's two-hour reservation cap, I was directed to a cramped bar with no seating or space to stand comfortably. No bar menus were provided after 14 minutes of awkward waiting, prompting us to leave and spend our money elsewhere. Save yourself the disappointment – this place lacks the courtesy to inform patrons of delays, yet they can confirm reservations without a hitch. I won't be returning and will caution others thinking of dining here."

"One of the best places to eat in Connecticut. Food was excellent, our mocktails were great and service was superb. If you are looking for a great fine dining experience, make sure to visit this place."

"Arethusa served up one of the finest meals my wife and I could remember. The parsnip soup was unbelievably delicious! My Sea Bass with peperonata and creamy gouda polenta was done perfectly. And my wife loved her Seared Scallops. Another amazing creation!! Our server, William, couldn't have been better. And we loved watching the bartender Brian make his fantastic specialty drinks! We live over 3 hours away, but hope to return with our foodie friends some day soon!!"

"We went for our anniversary dinner and had a truly memorable meal. Cocktails were strong and on point. For appetizers, we shared the cheese board and the uni. both were outstanding. The uni is small, but you get so much punch in each bite. The cheese board came with so many little accoutrements that made it fun and special to try different combinations. I could see coming back and just ordering a bunch of apps - it was difficult to choose! For our entrees, I got the duck. Now, I don't normally order duck, but a friend recommended it and I am SO glad I ordered it. So special, and the gnocchi on the side was very good. My husband ordered the agnolotti with fiddleheads - so scrummy! For dessert we got the walnut and chocolate cakes served with ice cream. We were practically licking the plates. We spent $275 including tip, but it was worth every penny for such a marvelous experience. The service, as mentioned in many other reviews, was outstanding. The servers were pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. We will certainly return!"

"There is no way to put into words the experience of dining at this restaurant. Yes, the service is amazing, as expected. The ambiance is quaint, rural, farmhouse chic, as expected. But the food…each and every bite is layered with incredible flavor. It is fresh, and sophisticated, but it still wraps you in a hometown hug. I’ll be back…again and again.."
