Best Italian Restaurants in Ansonia

I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to go here. Needed a place to dine for Christmas Eve and since Encore by Goodfellas was opened I decided to make a reservation. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I was impressed with the upscale classy decor. We were greeted by the hostess who took us to the upstairs level that we requested only to be more impressed with the atmosphere and classy vibe. The waitstaff was super attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. AND….what a menu! A large array of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes, steaks, seafood veal, pork, and chicken. Took me 15 minutes alone to decide what I would order, Well we placed the order and one dish was better than the next, absolutely outstanding and well presented large portions, Dessert was out of this world as well, Great Chef!!! Our dinner was so special that we decided to make another reservation for a few weeks down the line. Encore doesn’t deserve 5 stars, it deserves 10. Now this is coming from a native New Yorker who has had access to all the finest restaurants ( and dined in most of them as well). Encore by Goodfellas stands amongst them’

Our Christmas Eve dining experience was truly exceptional. The food was outstanding, and the service was nothing short of outstanding. The atmosphere perfectly captured the holiday spirit, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. It was a memorable celebration shared with family, made all the more special by the warmth and attention to detail at this restaurant.

Table was ready right on time. Staff was friendly and helpful answering questions about menu. They were accommodating of our young family member, bringing a few gelato samples before we ordered dessert. Overall, was a great family night for a special occasion.

It was an amazing experience wonderful evening delightful food served in a fantastic ambience. We will go again very soon. 

Exceptional service with fantastic food couldn’t ask for a nicer afternoon
