I've reviewed Vasi's many times on TripAdvisor and generally have had good things to say. When I heard Chef Gordon Ramsay was in town to take Vasi's on, I was truly shocked, because Vasi's has not had a problem keeping its parking lot filled. I've always thought of Vasi's as a restaurant known for its killer martinis/cocktails. Turns out that's exactly what most people think, and the owner has been looking to take the place in a different direction, since there are roughly 75 Italian restaurants in the immediate Waterbury area. Being "good" won't cut it. Enter Chef Ramsay; it was just as rough as you might expect. I do admit I'm a fan of the tall, blonde Scottish Chef who openly speaks his mind, so I was worried when I visited Vasi's this past weekend. I shouldn't have been. First, the interior looks fantastic; by that, I mean the decor. The staff still seemed a bit shaken up by Ramsay's two-day visit! The new blue and white style is airy and reminiscent of Greece; what a nice change. The heavier, dark booths are gone, replaced by a simple, open floor plan of wooden tables. The menu now is in transition and limited, but the offerings focus on "The Road from Rome to Athens" designed by Chef Ramsay himself, though keeping some of Vasi's stronger dishes. I was very pleased with this. Also, I was assured that my favorite cocktails would remain available to order. My photos will show you in better detail than my words can possibly manage, but I will say that my fellow diners and I were in heaven with the food. We started with a Mediterranean Platter, and the warm hummus was divine. As for entrees: one of my dining companions squealed with pleasure when she first tasted her linguine and clams, and I thoroughly enjoyed my NY Strip (I luckily snagged the last one, and this was at 2 pm in the afternoon!). My other dining companion loved her Pan Roasted Chicken. Michelle was our server; polite, patient, and pleasant. Martinis aplenty! Espresso, Cucumber, Milky Way, Chocolate Banana, Lemon with Strawberry, Orange, and the list goes on. We indulged and I am not ashamed. We will happily return to the newly revamped Vasi's, and I encourage others to do so as well. Chef Ramsay enhanced Vasi's strongest assets (including its staff), its authentic roots, and made small changes to reflect a step into the modern era. It worked!

Dimitri's Pizza

Reviewed By Paul D

We get take out from this place a few times per year, and have eaten in the restaurant a few times. The pizza is good quality Greek style pizza. That means rising "bread style" crust, and fresh vegetables. To further explain, the peppers are sliced and tossed on the pizza, instead of roasted or marinated first, for example. In my opinion, this makes for a delightful meal, but not the same as italian pizza. This restaurant does it very well, and the cheese pizza will be most like Italian pizza for the non-initiated. The appetizers and salads are really well prepared and fresh as well. There is a dish that is called "country gravy cheese fries" or something to that effect, and picture crisp fries, ranch dressing and bacon with cheddar cheese, -a fantastic appetizer for kids and adults, an american pizza house poutine.The specialty pizzas are a good choice as well.

Spartan Pizza & Restaurant

Reviewed By ParkerSturbridge

This place has consistently good food and very good prices. Service is super friendly and efficient, but the place really needs a makeover. Dark, drab and almost uninviting....but very clean!!! So don't let the decor turn you off. Greek style pizza, thick crust, crusty on the bottom, somewhat over-cheesed. But when you order a topping, you get plenty. Salads are delicious and very large, with lots of extras on them, not just lettuce. And the burgers are huge and come with some of the best onion rings around. In-town people....you know where it is. Out-of-towners, stop in...i'ts right off I-84 and will fuel you up for your long wait in traffic at the Waterbury interchange. Check it out.
