Read that this place had good comfort food, and we weren’t disappointed. My husband had the meatloaf dinner. He said it was delicious. They also offer a meatloaf mac and cheese as well as lobster mac and cheese. I️ tried the chicken and waffle which was very tasty. The weather was cold and windy, and the dining room was small but cozy. The service was very prompt. Craft beer selection is good but mostly bottles. We will return.

I kept passing by Anzio's whenever I was cutting through town so I finally stopped and glad I did. Fabulous flatbreads and tasty entrees makes Anzio"s a must when looking for special casual dining. Service is attentive and not overbearing. Prices are more than reasonable.

The ice cream is the same but the owners / managers have forgotten what service is all about. In Massachusetts, there is a law that all food serving places must have signage " Tell your server if you have food allergies" They have the signs but that DO NOT honor them. Our Family a party of 11 went there and told them our 2 of our grandsons have nut allergies. The server said they don't do anything special. Their competition, Ulhmans in Westboro and the Ice cream store in South Grafton common and others we have visited will take care to prevent cross contamination. The way others do it is to have either an open container in the freezer or open a new one after thoroughly washing the scoops. As well as keeping common allergens, nuts, separated from other toppings. The started or open containers don't go to waste they become the next ones used on the line. The flavors asked for are fast movers and get used that shift or the next. When we asked an owner about taking care with the ice cream for my grandsons, we were told they are too busy, with no apologies. The 2 previously mentioned ice cream stores, do care and do keep from cross contaminating products. We like around the corner from S&S and drive 1 to 8 miles out of away to op using them.
It's time these owners should sell or quit the business if they don't care if the young customer goes into aphalatic shock because of their lack of following the law and satisfying their customers

We have been to Arturo's a few times over the last year and went back last week for a quick bite coming away with the same impression: solid traditional italian food in a pleasant environment. We shared a Caesar salad and a spicy sausage and peppers pizza with italian beer and red wine, and all were good. I have had better pizza doe with more flavor in the crust, but the toppings were tasty. The atmosphere in the large restaurant is pleasant, but with the tall ceilings and the bright ceiling lights it not a cozy atmosphere. Service was good, and the restaurant seems well managed. Easy parking. Altogether a very good value at less than $50 for our whole midweek dinner, considering how many restaurants out there think they can justify $30 main course prices. We did not try the pasta dishes, but will do so another time.

Food is very good and authentic. The margaritas are delicious, especially the Cadillac made with fresh squeezed juices rather than sour mix. They are also allergy friendly which I greatly appreciate due to both myself and my child having food allergies. A bit pricey, wished they’d offer smaller portions at a reduced price. Service is always good!

Stopped in here with a party of 4 on a Friday night at 5:30. We got seated immediately. By 6-6:30 it was starting to fill up so I suggest getting there on the earlier side. Every staff member we talked with was extremely kind and helpful. Our waitress had the perfect balance of leaving us be and coming over when we needed her. We had a couple of apps and the calamari came with a generous portion. Each drink was deliciously made. I would highly suggest the chocolate martini for dessert! I ordered the eggplant parm which was a huge portion! Everyone at the table loved what they ordered and we were all very surprised by the pricing. It was very low for the quality and quantity! No complaints there! The interior was warm and cozy with tables that were not too close to one another. The restaurant is located off the beaten path with side street parking. I do believe I noticed they have valet parking as well. Don’t let the location scare you away. It’s totally fine and worth it! We can’t wait to go back. Great for a date night or family dinner.

This is a very small cafe on the main road going through Sutton. The booths/tables (approx. 4-5) seat two comfortably, but four can fit. There is one larger table at the back that seats six. There is also counter seating. When we arrived at around 7:45 there was only booth left. Two men were working, one serving the tables and the other cooking. At 8, a young lady came to work. All were very friendly and we had our coffee and juice within minutes. I think we stressed the staff with our large order (3 adults and 2 kids) coming right after the table of six order. The order took a really long time to come out. We were finally served at around 8:30. That was the only negative. The food was very good. Nothing fancy...but very good, ample portions,and very reasonable. This is a definite stop for breakfast.
