You have to try V's Trattoria! The food is absolutely ambrosial. One of our favorite dishes is the Eggpant Parmigiana especially because it is not covered in mozzerela cheese. There are many other delicious choices as our guests enjoyed the Pasta al Roberto (with chicken) and the Grand Marnier Salmon. We also liked that V's drink menu included some local craft beer choices. Our server was very attentive and accomodating. We also appreciate and felt comfortable dining in a space that had a modern yet not formal feel. Seating is socially distanced so the four of us felt very safe. All in all, a very memorable evening out in the great city of Hartford.

We had a very early reservation due to time constraints. When we arrived we were the only seated table in the restaurant which worked out wonderfully. We were able to chat personally with Vito and Andrew, how fun! He did not lie, his meatball appetizer was amazing. We then moved on to his special cocoa infused pasta with bolognese, so different and delicious! All four of us agreed it was terrific. The bartender worked with us and the drinks were great. The bread pudding was more like a muffin and good. Not the best, but good. Could have used a bourbon sauce. But all in all it was a great dining experience and I only wish we lived closer so we could go more often. Hartford is a business city and with fewer people working downtown and traveling, we must support local places like this from going under...it's worth the drive!

Friday, 9/25/20. We had Eggplant Parmigiana and a Tuscan Panzanella Salad. Both were ambrosial and the portions were prodigious. You will end up bringing food home unless you opt to split a meal. Appreciated that V's served local craft beer. We enjoyed the craft draft beer from Alvarium Brewery located in New Britain. The waitstaff were very helpful in answering all our questions and the food was delivered with all the modifications requested. We plan to return soon.

This was our first in-house dining experience since restrictions were lifted. Staff adhered to protocols of masks, gloves, etc. The outdoor dining space was well organized and left plenty of room between tables. Food was still delicious - so glad to see the regular menu offered. Haven't been disappointed yet!
