Avenue And Grill - Naugatuck

The restaurant has a clean and inviting atmosphere, and it's clear that the owners have invested a lot of love and care into it. They were open on Easter, which is a nice touch. While I found the prices to be a bit on the higher side, the food offered is quite unique and diverse, making it hard to compare with other places. I enjoyed the sauce that came with the steak; however, the steak itself had a lot of fat and was tougher than I expected, which I wasn't a fan of.

Wow! This place is a perfect example of how an unassuming exterior can hide an absolute gem inside. The Portuguese menu features some of the best dishes I've ever tasted. It offers a unique selection, from classic favorites like clams in red sauce to more adventurous options like Dobrada. I can’t recommend it enough!

To kick things off, we enjoyed hot, fresh rolls that were perfect for dipping into the sauce accompanying the shrimp Mozambique and juniper appetizers. For our main courses, we had a delightful selection: pork and mussels, Portuguese steak, and fresh paella. Beyond the incredible food, the owners were incredibly welcoming, making us feel like we were guests in their home. The servers and bartenders were also great—very attentive and friendly. After dinner, we made our way to the bar area and ended the evening with some spontaneous karaoke. It truly was one of the best nights I've ever had!

Don't be fooled from outside. The place is small but very comfortable and the food is delicious. I had the lamb. It was a bit salty, but it was still good. The owner is very pleasant, a very nice lady. Your husband needs some more human skills. I will definitely go back.

Food is delicious. Service is fantastic. We will be back and tell all our friends and family. We’ll be back as soon as we can.
