“ Food price / quality (value) rating 9. The atmosphere is typical of an Italian restaurant. This was our first visit here, and we were attracted by their enticing Happy Hour that included, among other things , $4 beers, $5 wines, and $6 mixed drinks. I had the Chicken Francese, which included pasta, a nice house salad, and garlic bread. The entree included three good sized pieces of chicken breast , a large serving of my chosen pasta (Angel Hair), and everything was prepared properly and served very hot. The wife had the Salmon entree, that also included a salad and garlic bread, and a very nice medley of grilled vegetables. It looked beautiful, and she stated that it was very good. The prices were very, very reasonable for the product supplied. They have a 15 seat bar, several nice booths in the bar area, and a large dining room. Catering large functions and celebrations is a large part of their business. The owners Nancy and Carlos are typically on location (usually a very good sign), and made certain that our experience was satisfactory. We had two entrees and four drinks for $66, and we each had enough leftovers for a second meal. I highly recommend this place as a great value (especially the Happy Hour drinks) because of the portions and quality of the food. We'll definitely be back! ”
“ First time at this restaurant. When trying a new Italian restaurant we always order our favorite dishes! We ordered the Ceasars salad and it did not disappoint!(and I am often dissapointed!) The dressing was authentic Ceasars. My husband ordered chicken Parmesan and I ordered chicken francese. They were both delicious! They did not have the wine we initially wanted but they made up for it with generous pours of our second choice. The service was great. We came in for an early lunch so it wasn't busy but the server was friendly and accommodating. ”
“ I don't understand the low reviews. We have gone several times and the food is always delicious, the employees polite and friendly. The D'Arcos special pizza is amazing. I am afraid the location has a hex on it (although it is for us ”
“ New spot that has opened in Bethel. Came in on a Friday evening and there was a DJ playing a great mix of music. Sitting at the bar, with the music it was a tad bit loud making it hard for the bartender to hear my order. Wasn't offered any bread and my entree came out first before my salad. They brought out the salad, but it did not come with the right dressing I requested. It was loud and would've taken longer to ask for the balsamic so I used what they gave me. By the time I finished my salad, my pasta and chicken parmigiana were no longer hot. Overall it was a good dinner, they're brand new so it'll take time to to get everything running smoothly. ”
