Food scene

Excellent food & service. Old world atmosphere open since 1921. The owners come out to meet you & make sure everything is to your satisfaction. Tableside prep of best Caesar salad ever. Housemade pasta with excellent sauces. Other menu items are just as good. Flawless service and all that a restaurant should be, in case we forgot.

The owner "Lucky" owned many pizza restaurants in NY before he moved to Harwinton. We love their NY style margarita pizza. Tiny strip mall hole on the wall.
