Sage & Salt (formerly Saltwater Grille) offers modern comfort cuisine in a casual and welcoming atmosphere.
*Outdoor dining.

Executive Chef Dan Magill oversees this extension of Arethusa Farm, a seed-to-table restaurant considered one of the top dining experiences in Connecticut. Chef Magill has been a semi-finalist for James Beard Best Chef: Northeast and also won Restaurant of the Year at the Connecticut Restaurant & Hospitality Association’s CRAzies awards. There’s a sample menu on the website, but it changes and the specials are phenomenal, like this one from an inspired late spring menu: Scottish salmon brushed with ramp soubise, morels, English peas, asparagus, and rye crumbs. *Outdoor dining.

Ollie’s Pizza

19 West St. | 860-361-9400

Ollie’s has a sweet little spot across from the Green and next to the former courthouse.

DiFranco’s Restaurant and Pizzeria

51 West St. | 860-361-6861

Across from the Green in a spot that emphasizes the outdoor dining, DiFranco’s is a family-friendly Italian restaurant with a menu that has everything you want: wings and fried calamari, lots of salads, pizzas, seafood, burgers and steaks, chicken Parm, calzones, and even gluten free pasta. *Outdoor dining.

Bohemian Pizza and Tacos

324 Bantam Rd. | 860-567-3980

Fried goat cheese balls were a recent special—so this is more than an average pizza place. Bohemian is festively and uniquely decorated to suit its name, and the popular spot has a bit of a cult following for its pizzas—though the menu goes far beyond, from “dips and apps” that include mozzarella sticks and wings to salads, tacos and quesadillas, as well as dessert. *Outdoor dining.
