We live in Florida and travel to Connecticut each Thanksgiving. Dinner at Consiglio’s is an annual event and each time we dine there, it’s exceptional in every way. It’s our favorite Italian restaurant of all time.

Four of us had a very lovely late lunch. The only reason I did not give the food 5 stars was the fish & Chips had a bit too much coating on it.The waitress was excellent.

The dry aged steaks were phenomenal! The flavor was perfection. The individual sides were very overpriced for the size they were 10 dollars each and it was just enough for one person. 10 bucks for a little mashed potato is a stretch in my opinion. The carrot cake was delicious and they make a mean espresso martini! The restaurant itself is gorgeous with a few stone fireplaces throughout and it’s very cozy.
