Neighborhood gem

The raw talent, experience, and passion is the foundation for South End, a neighborhood restaurant and gathering place in the charming town of New Canaan. Chef/Owner Nick Martschenko brings seasonal comfort food and inspired libations together with an atmosphere that is casual, familiar, and befitting of a small urbane town.

The design combines the old with the new. Rustic hardware elements are set against reclaimed barn wood paneling, and light fixtures are antique in design, while utilizing a more contemporary flare. Beige Italian linen drapes are complimented by contrasting black tufted linen upholstered banquette seating. Oversized color prints of a misty countryside and farm animals are a nod to Chef’s sustainable food practices.

Wonderful as usual. Missed the cacio e pepe dish and the chopped salad. Branzino, bolognese, and salmon - all were great!

South End is always a delightful experience. On Sunday they have live music which is fun but I do not think it should be so loud.

The bar area was incredibly loud and spilled into the restaurant area. Luckily, we were a bit away from the bar itself. Food was enjoyed by all. I had the pork chop scarpariello. The pork chop seemed to have been cooked separately from the delicious peppers and sausage, so I found it less flavorful than it could have been. Others enjoyed the Cavatelli and the Chicken Saltimboca. The service could not have been better. I have eaten here before andlook forward to our next dinner there.
