Trattoria 'A Vucchella & Wood Oven Pizza — Restaurant in Bridgeport

I came here on a weekday night for dinner, and it was great! When I entered, the restaurant was mostly empty, so I was quickly seated. The service was great and I was promptly given water and a menu, and my order was taken when I was ready. I ordered a caprese salad and the crab gnocchi. While these were getting made, I was given bread with olive oil on the side. I was disappointed by the bread though because the crust was quite hard and not tasty at all; I really hate wasting food but I only peeled off the inside soft part to eat. The caprese was tasty and fresh, and I liked the presentation. There were three pieces of tomato and mozzarella, and it was very light and tasty. My gnocchi took a while to come out, but that tells me it was being freshly made, hooray! It was delicious as well. The gnocchi was chewy, and the sauce was flavorful but not overpowering. There was also a really good amount of crab and tomatoes; they definitely did not skimp on that. All in all, I was very happy with the food here as well as the attentive service. The ambiance was also relaxing and peaceful, and I enjoyed eating here. I would definitely recommend it! Price-wise, $48 post-tax pre-tip for the food I got is on the pricey end, but I guess that's normal for Italian food. Plus, two people could have shared the food I ordered (I took half the gnocchi to-go), so quantity is quite big. Good quality, good quantity, good service - what more can...

Disappointed on service, food is not great. My friend raved about the home-made pasta here so we made reservations several days in advance (to celebrate my partner’s birthday). Arrived a bit early and sat at the bar and ordered an appetizer. The carpaccio had brown ends, arugula was dry. By the time we got seated the place was loud, but we had a small table at the corner which made it not too bad. Took 20 minutes to order because they had a “rush” of people coming in. I asked a few questions about the menu and later found out that the waitress gave me incorrect answers. When the food came, my partner (who had clearly ordered gnocci with crabmeat AND pointed at the item on the menu) received something completely different -she put the wrong order. No one would look our way. When we finally grab someone’s attention they looked puzzled… waitress was nowhere to be found. Apologies from her. Bread came after the meal. Right dish came by the time mine was practically cold -crabmeat was from a jar, not fresh. Ordered tiramisu, it was dry, there was no coffee in it or anything soaking the sponge cake. We waited 20 minutes and finally decided to ask for the bill, pen had no ink in the pen, but plenty to go all over my fingers. We were there for 2 hs total and the manager never showed up to even ask how our evening was going. Thankfully we were laughing, but we’ll...

Was in the area and looking for a place to have lunch, did a google search and it looked like a nice spot so we stopped in.

First, the place was spotless, smelled like it was just freshly cleaned and the staff were very friendly when we entered. The server and all of the staff had masks on which was nice considering the current situation and they seemed to take what was going on seriously.

We started with some fried calamari, for entrees I had the gnocchi alla sorrentina, wife had the pappardelle with bolognese sauce, MiL had the pasta carbonara, kids had chicken cutlets and they even made some fries even though they didn’t have it on the menu.

Everything was made fresh, the gnocchi were very light, and most importantly, delicious. Wife loved the pappardelle, MiL love the carbonara and the kids devoured the cutlets and fries.

For desert, we had the Tiramisu, again excellent.

So glad we found this place, even though we were from out of town, we plan on coming back to CT just for another round of their delicious food and incredible service. Please, if your in the area, definitely support them, would be a shame to see them close during these hard times. I know we will spread the word because they truly deserve it,...
