Now That's Italian!



Okay, one of the opportunities this blog affords us is to mention some good restaurants we've recently been to. I'd like to offer a pair of Italian restaurants I've enjoyed recently.

La Famiglia in Brookfield - It looks like a pizza place in a strip mall on Federal Road because . .. well, it is a pizza place in a strip mall, but don't let that stop you from ordering any of the other delicious items on the menu. We made the mistake of ordering appetizers and eating the garlic bread knobs, so when our meals came, we were already a bit full. Not that it would've mattered as the portions were so generous, it'd take two meals to eat.

Il Forno in Milford - In the location that was The Bar-B-Q seemingly forever, this new restaurant opened by Juan Cebellos (formerly of Il Palio in Shelton) is just a joy to dine at -- we went on a Saturday night, and although it was crowded (always a good sign, right?), the service was excellent and the food was great. Homemade pasta, nice wine list, enjoyable night. Make reservations.
