The late Rocco Diorio was responsible for the fine traditional food and many lasting memories for most of the people in the greater Waterbury area. The restaurant was closed in 1980 and reopened in 1991 after total restoration to its original splendor. The legend continues as we remain true to those endearing memories. We have the original marble bar, over-sized mahogany bankers booths, tin ceiling, and the most impressive acid-etched mirrors displaying historical Waterbury.

The beet salad is always a great way to start. My friend had the halibut and said it was delicious and portion was enormous. I went with rack of lamb , again portion was enormous. Their dining room is bright and inviting and service was excellent.

Everything was great, I had a medium well rib eye cooked to perfection, grilled asparagus, and Parmesan risotto. Everything was amazing, I will definitely go back and try something else off the menu.

Food was delicious! Atmosphere was great! Service was ok. I think she was new at her type of work. Drinks took too long to get to us and one drink was forgotten. Overall it was a good experience. Will definitely go back.
