Baldanza at the Schoolhouse is the best! It's head and shoulders above any other restaurant in lower Fairfield County. The food is perfectly cooked and presented every time. The attention to detail is meticulous. My water glass was refilled quickly. The staff is courteous, friendly, and efficient. Last night I had the veal parmesan with homemade pasta, it was outstanding. I always share the fritto misto with fried calamari and shrimp with friends. I had the homemade carrot cake for dessert. It was moist and dense with the right amount of cream cheese frosting and dollops of homemade whipped cream om the side. My only wish is that the dining room were quieter, it's difficult to have a conversation right across the table. My vote is 4.9 stars. I love the Schoolhouse!

We enjoyed another wonderful dinner at the Schoolhouse. The service is friendly, efficient and professional and the ambiance is so quaintly historic and charming. The beet salad is a favorite appetizer. Our main course was the steak frites, with which we substituted the thinner fries for the steak fries. One cut was tough and the other very good. That's the only reason that the food rating was 4 instead of 5. We will most definitely be back to our favorite neighborhood spot!

Charming “hidden” spot with great ambiance, good food and service. Worth the drive if not nearby in scenic area and located inside a historic schoolhouse.
