We love Cora Cora (Peruvian) in West Hartford and The North House (American) in Avon.

Seasons, which is in the Avon Old Farms Hotel, is a hidden gem!

DeNovellis in Rocky Hill is an absolute home run for Italian fare.

Shady Glen in Manchester, Vernon Pizza in Vernon, Rein's Deli in Vernon, and Traveler Restaurant in Union.

There are other good eatery spots in central CT too. Feel free to check Google Maps or Yelp pages for good restaurants around the region

You might try searching this forum. It is a question that has been asked many times before.

A couple of hints:

  1. Where are you? We are a small state, and you say you might travel farther, but where is that? I could recommend some great places in Southington but if you are in Greenwich it doesn't do much good.

  2. What kind of food? Lots to choose from.

I live in Southington, what are Southington's great restaurants?

I see lots of good restaurants... not sure I'd say any are great. But maybe I haven't been to those.

Ok near Southington might be better.

Viron Rondo's just over the border in Cheshire is consistently highly rated.

New Mill very good reviews, though I don't necessarily see the appeal myself, but it is always packed so obviously must be doing something right!

Craft Kitchen near Southington Country Club is one of our favorites. Kind of farm-to-table and their burgers are the best I've had in a. long while.

And for greek style pizza you absolutely can't be Family Pizza... we travel from several towns over to get it!

I wish craft kitchen didn’t use pretzel buns though.

I love Pretzel buns.

I can practically walk to Family Pizza. Been a while since I've been there.

All of those places are good - Viron Rondo is our go-to for special occasions.

Yeah they are good in the moment and don’t really travel well, only had the burger Togo a few times one day I’ll make it in there for a sit down
