This is a bit of a hidden treasure. In a vintage building and very homey feeling. You truly feel like a guest. Very friendly service, great food, and the kind of place you want to linger afterward. Parking is a bit of a challenge as it’s only on the street, but well worth it. Great value as well.

We picked Trattoria ‘A Vucchella, because it’s Italian & its location to the Wonderland Ice Arena. We first went there for lunch on Friday. We had the Branzino & veal Marsala. Both wonderful. The Branzino was one of the best I’ve ever had! Every thing was so exceptional, that we went back for dinner after the last hockey game on Saturday. I ordered the Branzino again (love it!) and he had the Risotto Alla Vongole. Equally exceptional! They focus on quality, not quantity! We highly recommend Trattoria ‘A Vucchella!

Pasquale and his team consistently deliver excellence, from their outstanding service to their delicious food. They never disappoint. We’ve been going there since they opened, and it remains one of our favorite restaurants in Connecticut.

Great, great evening. Attentive staff, varied menu and superb cooking. Good options for gluten-free diners, too. Kicking myself for not eating here sooner. Coming back as soon as I can.

This is a very charming restaurant in a good location......if you want to attend the theatre across the street! The service and the food were excellent! It got a bit noisy as more people arrived to enjoy it! But it was a very good experience!

We came for our dinner after the playhouse performance, We did get a great table location. The restaurant filled up quickly. The server was very nice but, I think overextended. Food was good. We have been there in the past where we felt it was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant. We will be back again. great location to the Bojou with a user friendly parking lot adjacent to the theater and the restaurant.
