Mangia's remains consistently a good value with excellent service. The meals are huge and definitely worthy of taking home for another meal.

San Marino's is a family run and operated restaurant that's been serving classic Southern Italian cuisine for almost 5 decades. Open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Full service bar and outdoor dining available. Bring the kids, too!

Nina and I, along with eight family members, enjoyed dinner at San Marino on the day after Thanksgiving. What a good time we had. Nina called in reservations, and we were seated immediately. The waitstaff was very attentive and quick to make appropriate suggestions where needed. As an example, I asked for a side of hot Italian Sausage, well, they had only sweet available. That's ok. I had a sweet Italian Sausage on the side of my Cheese Ravioli. This was served with salad and warm bread. I had an ice cold Budweiser, too.This restaurant is nice and comfortable for groups of all sizes. We've been here many times, and for many different reasons. This is one of Waterbury's finest restaurants.I rate San Marino with five stars. Please do come and enjoy this restaurant. you will not be disappointed.

Group of 10 celebrating New Year's Eve...reservations for 8 pm. Took a while to have our drink order taken. Waitress tells us it will probably be awhile as the bartender is overwhelmed...one bartender (ut oh)! Drinks arrived after a while...ok at best...lemon drop martini made incorrectly, a drink we didn't order was served...no big deal...we were ready to celebrate...dinner didn't arrive until 10:30 pm after telling us that all the surf & turf dinners that were ordered had to be modified, as they ran out of shrimp...I ended up with salmon that was very, very dry...no rub/sauce with fish...steak was very thin...like it had to be cut to make several pieces. It was our 3rd year for New Year's Eve & sadly, our last. In the end, I had 2 drinks, a meal that was not even satisfactory & my husband & I paid over $200 as our portion of the bill. It was very disappointing & nothing like the previous 2 years. The waitress kept apologizing but the fault lies in your kitchen/bartending staff (or lack of sufficient staff).
6. Chef's Door
Quaint, welcoming space with comfortable bar, unique atmosphere, and a blend of creative American and traditional American food. Featuring fresh cuisine from many of our local farms.

Chef/Owner Chris Bruno is creating magical dishes from the kitchen of his new restaurant, Chef's Door. We loved the cozy, intimate ambiance of the dining room. Candles lit throughout the restaurant is a nice touch. There's a wall in the bar filled with old multi- colored doors that give it texture and depth that couldn't be achieved with paint or wallpaper. Very cool.We had dinner and drinks at the bar and the bartender, Ryan, was great. He's a personable cool guy.It wasn't easy deciding what to have for dinner. Everything on the menu looks so good. They have a nice list of six beers on tap so we started there. Then we ordered the Pork Belly Chiccarones appetizer. Pork belly heavily rubbed with a great spice rub deep fried and served with a gorgonzola dressing for dipping. The pork belly was so good it didn't even need the gorgonzola dressing. It was great either way. Then my wife had the GBT Panini. Goat cheese, bacon, tomato and honey on a panini. Delicious sandwich!I had the Roasted Half Duck over coconut rice and a ginger shitake mushroom sauce. It was a generous portion of duck on my plate. Very tender meat and crispy skin.Chef Chris and his kitchen staff cook flawless delicious food.My wife and I keep saying that we really have to stop ordering desserts. But Ryan said the chef makes all the desserts in house, so we had to indulge in at least one. We split the Key Lime Custard Cheesecake with a Strawberry Tequila sauce. I love key lime pie and he took that dessert to a whole new level. Amazing!We almost went there again last night, but they're not open on Sundays. Whether you say, Open sesame or Reservations for two, you'll be sure to have a Magical Memorable Meal.

The food is decent. Large bar crowd, mostly drinking beer and talking loud. Atmosphere is lacking. Large room divided into bar area and dinning (?) area. By a low divider.Loaded chips pretty good, nice burger. For what it is, it is a bit pricey.

Rock Garden is a good restaurant with plenty to choose from. They have some for everyone even kids. It can be crowded and the seating is not abundant, so get there earlier than you may want to. Their biggest issue, it has gotten better, is the speed at which they serve people. When I first went (years ago) the wait was agonizing. Again, the have gotten better but still can be slow.

We had plans to meet friends for Monday night gathering . We had made reservations and we seated right away. They offer some very nice appitizers along with a varied menu. The place is very noisy if your trying to have conversation with friends. Centrally located for our night to meet with friends.

A group of us were in the area for a sporting event and I had called L Restaurant to make a reservation. My first impression was very good! The person I spoke to was pleasant and efficient.When we arrived on the Saturday evening, our table was ready and every member of staff we interacted with proved to be delightful.Our server was attentive and the food was delicious; freshly prepared and just perfect. Two members of our party had particular dietary needs but this did not prove to be a problem as every effort was made to ensure that their food was prepared to the same high standard.I chose this restaurant because of the positive reviews, which, in my opinion, are well deserved. If we were in the area again, we would definitely return!

Family Restaurant with separate bar area, offering Tex-Mex cusine, as well as traditional Mexican dishes. Kitchen Hours Sun-Thurs 11am-11pm; Fri & Sat 11am-midnight
Reviewed By MuppQueen
I love going to Tequilas on Sat night because they have half off margaritas... so theyre $2.75 and you can pick from over 20 different flavors (I reccomend Pumpkin.. try it!) but the set up of the bar is god awful. Theres no room at the bar, there are 2 seater tables along the bar (so if you show up with more than 1 friend you all can't sit together) and then theres a room with more seating to the back BUT theres no music in there and no decorations and its very dark. If they made more room to sit near the bar I would go there a lot more often.
