Best Seasonal Restaurants in Oxford

Food was excellent and on point. Not much of a crowd this evening so was shocked at slow service. Our waitperson could only seem to do one thing at a time and not very attentive. Long wait for drink refills and even check. Again not a busy night. It’d be nice if it was a little dimmer in there but again food excellent!

Outstanding. Waitstaff great, Bartender great, loved it.

We had heard of a new restaurant in Shelton, CT called Mercato, but couldn't get in - so we decided to try the Southbury location. The menu had something for everyone, but we especially enjoyed the Wood Fired Olives to start. Whipped Ricotta was also very good, but I believe I'd like the fig jam on the side rather than on top of the ricotta (it was very good, but I think I would have liked to control the amount of jam personally). Our waitress was very attentive, drinks and meals served promptly and more importantly, the dinners were piping hot and very fresh. Cacio E Pepe with bucatini was amazing, just the right amount of creaminess and pepper and the Fettuccini Carbonara also an excellent choice. Desserts were heavenly (cannoli super fresh), cappuccino and espresso strong and hot! Overall and excellent happy accident and we will definitely be back - and hope to try the amazing looking pizzas!

Honestly my wife and I loved it. Such a friendly staff. The waiter forgot our sodas but was super apologetic and it really wasn't a big deal. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend. The owners are wonderful and we will definitely go back!

Fabulous restaurant. Great service and servers, food was delicious and the atmosphere a treasure. 10 of us dined for Christmas Eve and it has become our family tradition for the past 4 years. Thank you for always taking care of us.
