Best Cozy Restaurants in Wallingford

Very nice place. Can’t wait to go back. Sat by the fireplace. We had the clam chowder and Tom steak which was excellent. great night out

Food was delicious! Honestly there were so many interesting choices, it was a challenge to select just one... 'guess we wil have come back again and again!

The entire staff from our hostess to waitress to manager were all amazing! The food was outstanding. Four of us dined and shared apps and tried each other’s dinners and there wasn’t one thing we didn’t all enjoy. We arrived on time but there was a bit of delay getting us seated. The hostess continually checked in with us and made sure we were seated as soon as a table was available. The manager was apparently made aware (not by us) and at the end of our meal she offered us desserts on the house, which was both unexpected and very much appreciated. A great touch and ending to an overall outstanding experience. We will be regulars here from now on!

I attended the brunch with my three grandchildren. The y had an event that day for crafts and How the Grinch Stole Brunch. The Grinch was awesome, and the kids LOVED it! Food was awesome and waiter stopped by often. Will definately consider going here rather than other breakfast places!!

Another great meal there. Food was delicious and portions are huge. Great value. The owners are lovely, very personable, and the staff are very hardworking and were very attentive. Ordered the orrecheta with sausage and broccoli rabe and the salmon special was out of sight. Ordered squash blossoms to go to try next day and the were also delicious. The history in there brings back great memories of the Waverly. Il Gusto is a wonderful addition to Cheshire and very much so needed.
