What a wonderful experience! The waitress was so accommodating. Told her we were vegetarian and she was more than delighted to make excellent suggestions and alterations. We took our 15-year-old son and even he loved the atmosphere. You Parents know what I mean. Well worth the money ...

You judge a resturant by three things FOOD- does it have fresh ingredients ? Have distinct flavor ? Is it homemade ? The cavatellis were cooked perfect, Lamberti’s sausage and homemade sauce unbelievable ! The pork meatballs melted in your mouth SERVICE - is the wait staff meeting your needs? Do they have knowledge of menu and do they pay attention to the details but at the same time not being overbearing while you eat ? Adrienne was our waitress. She not only made you feel like family eating here but her extensive knowledge of the menu and insight of the ingredients of the dishes were impressive. Her attentiveness while we were eating was spot on! Ambience - Does the resturant decor and ambiance match the theme and economics of the resturant ? Tarry Lodge was a quaint little resturant that matched the outing of the night. The items on the menu offered a wide variety for everyone’s price range

Went here for brunch on Saturday and then for dinner today. I highly recommend Tarry Lodge. The food is amazing and I love their specials. Tonight we had the gnocchi as an appetizer and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. I had the quail for dinner, and the flavors were amazing. My family was a tad hesitant to try the olive oil soft serve, but ended up thankful we tried the twist. As for the wine, there was no riesling I could order by the glass, but the waitress recommended another wine which I enjoyed. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant. This is a great place for family, friends, or dates.

I have always had a wonderful experience! My food is always delicious no matter what I order. I cook and eat a lot of Italian food and this is as good as homemade! Even the wine tasting dinner was fabulous! The food and the wine as well as the staff are always on point. This is our go to restaurant when we want a comforting, delicious Italian meal that we don't have to cook ourselves. I highly reccomend trying it. You won't be sorry.

I’m not a huge fan of Italian food but was looking for something close to my hotel for dinner. I had the duck and it was excellent! It was served with mushroom risotto. Very flavorful. I plan to make this one of my new Haven favorites. All the pizza looked and smelled amazing! The complimentary bread was very fresh! The tiramisu is also really good. Kendall was my waitress and she was excellent! Fantastic customer service, very helpful and she had a really good knowledge of the menu.

Everything we ordered was delicious, from salad to dessert. Olive oil ice cream was great. Highly recommend it. Also, the staff was extremely courteous. For example , we had a reservation but had to wait 5 minutes for them to clear off a table. No big deal. But they gave us all a free glass of Moscato and the aforementioned olive oil ice cream because they felt bad about it. Would definitely return here next chance I get.
