Best Casual Restaurants in Rocky Hill

Eno Terra is one of the restaurants in the MOMO TERRA group. Their motto is "Eat local, Drink Global." They are a farm to table restaurant that sources their food products from local vendors, and their wine list has something for everyone. The building is a rustic stone building which lends a mountain lodge vibe. It also has outdoor seating in the summer. My wife and I shared an appetizer of Fried Calamari with roasted shishito peppers. The Calamari was outstanding, tender and flavorful and not overly breaded. The peppers were delicious. My wife had Spaghetti with seafood. It contained shrimp, clams, and mussels in a garlic broth with chile flakes. It was tasty, but if you like your food spicy, ask for more chile. I had a Pork Chop Milanese which was one of the specials. The pork chop was still on the bone and pounded flat and breaded. It was moist and tender. It was topped with a salad of red onion, arugula, tomato and figs, and then shaved parmesan cheese. Dessert looked good, but we were too full.

BRAVO - WELL DONE! 5:00 on Saturday right after New Year. Almost full restaurant by 6pm. Our waiter was timely, attentive but not intrusive. Spicy shrimp appetizer - high quality ingredients cooked to perfection with toast baguette slices for dipping in addictive sauce. Not spicy so that is misleading. Grilled Octopus appetizer - perfect execution and taste. Cassoulet - a myriad of flavors - enjoyed everyone. A lot of beans. Flounder - Easy to mess up by overcooking but it was cooked perfectly along with green beans and light pasta accompaniment.

Our meal was outstanding, as always. At Mistral, my husband and I always share what we order. Today, we especially enjoyed the Crispy Salmon Bites and the Grilled Radicchio Salad. Everything was delicious including my cocktail, the “Louisiana Purchase.” Yum!

Upscale Indian food. Very tasty. Staff supplied a delicious birthday dessert and accommodated a young child at our table. We will be back soon.

We ate in the the board area. TVs around which we enjoy. 5 of ate. All enjoyed meals and drinks. Service is superior. Food is very good.
