Restaurants near Little River Shopping Center

Beautiful cozy little place! Food was exceptional and the bartender was the nicest person.

Can’t say enough about how good this restaurant is. From the minute we walked in the service was spot-on. It never stopped being perfectly attentive. Specialty drinks were creative and very good. We had the Pear Martini and Pear Mule. And then the food. We had the Braised Short Ribs and Pork Chop. Both over polenta and both excellent. We live in a neighboring state and can’t wait to come back. Next time we’re in Shelton we’ll be eating here!

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!

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.
