"Never a disappointment!. Tony D's has a bartender that makes THE BEST dirty martini in the state of CT. I don't know what he does, because there isn't much to a dirty martini, but they are always out-of-this-world good!<br/ <br/ The service is always spot on and consistent. Friendly staff that won't judge you if you come in on a Friday night in jeans, and prompt to boot. We stopped in for cocktails after seeing Spam-a-Lot at the Garde, and the place was mobbed so we sat right at the bar. The poor bartender was running his tail off, but he STILL made time to give us a huge smile and make us feel welcome. <br/ <br/ THE ANTIPASTA salad...is a must have if you like antipasta. Beautiful arrangement, and loaded with goodies, not just lettuce filler. In fact, there is barely any lettuce at ALL. And the eggplant on it... swoon . <br/ <br/ I have yet to have a poor meal there, the main dishes are delectable and the pasta is perfect. The desserts are out of this world good. Even the mini flatbread style personal pizzas are great. There is one with ricotta and peaches, slightly sweet and tangy yet savory at the same time. Also, have no fear about ordering seafood here if you're like me and have had some extremely bad experiences ordering seafood. I always make a point to get the seafood here because it is always the best.<br/ <br/ I am not a big fan of italian, but this place is definitely one of my top restaurants in the state!!! A wonderful place for birthdays, anniversaries, etc...and a great stop after a show at the Garde :"
