Caloroso Eatery & Bar — Restaurant in Shelton

The atmosphere of this place is casual and fun. There's a large outdoor patio for outdoor dining, and what you go inside there's a big bar. Off to the right is the dining room. Service is very friendly, and their suggestions are spot on

Let me start by saying that my meal wasn't too bad. The reason why I gave the food at lower rating is because something made me sick that night, and the only thing I can point to is something in the bolognese sauce. Not fun being sick on a business trip...

Came in with my business partner and started with a cocktail and the lasagna egg rolls. They were terrific! My partner and I shared those, and he was fine that night. For main course I ordered the bolognese but with pasta rather than gnocchi. I don't recall with my partner had. It was interesting the way they prepared it - past on the bottom, topped with bolognese sauce then a cheese sprinkled on top and must have been put under a broiler so that the cheese was melted. I thought the cheese part was a little bit too much. The bolognese was a bit heavy with sausage, but I like it that way. There was something about the taste of the sausage though that made me leave most of it on the plate.

Service was really good. Hats off to our waitress as she was delightful and full of suggestions.

Things happen in restaurants, I get it. And it was a Monday night, and bolognese and sometimes sit over the weekend. Could be that I got the...

The absolute worst dining experience I have had in years. Came in on a Monday night. Place wasn’t too busy, many open tables. They said they were having a fundraiser that night but it wasn’t jam packed or anything. Our overall dining experience took 2.5 hours. It took us an hour just to get bread and the two beers we ordered. 15 minutes more for salad. Apps took another 30 minutes after that. And the meals came out close to 2.5 hours after we ordered. Our waitress was not even the slightest bit apologetic. She was absent for most of the night. Our food finally came 15 more minutes after we spoke to the manager. When it did finally come it was not prepared well (such as the pancetta in the carbonara wasn't even cooked; sauces were watery; no mushrooms on burger as requested). The food was barely mediocre and the portion sizes were so small, looked more like lunch portions than dinner. It was such a disappointing night, especially since we were there to celebrate a birthday. Definitely not the fun and festive evening we expected to have. By the disappointed looks on the faces of the other patrons, they were all having somewhat similar experiences to ours. There are so many other good businesses in the area that I'd rather give my money to, and we'll be going there instead...

Had the most wonderful and amazingly fabulous Valentine's Day brunch with a friend!! Walked in a we were seated at a table with rose petals scattered on top. Very nice touch!!❤Then we both ordered the bottomless Mimosas, honey and butter cornbread and the weekly hash special. Drinks were brought promptly and were so delicious! While we waited for our meal, a gentleman gave each of us a red carnation and wished us a Happy Valentine's Day!❤ Once our meals arrived, we began to dig right in. The cornbread was exquisite. So unbelievably light and delicious with the butter and honey. The waitstaff was so very attentive and refilled our drinks without us asking. The hash was porchetta and apple au jus. So very tasty and extremely filling. Even though we could not finish our meals, we ordered dessert....chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate lava cake. The most amazing finish to a most delicious meal. I have wanted to try this restaurant but never had the opportunity until today. I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant for whatever meal....brunch, lunch or dinner. The food was wonderful but the service was extraordinary!! I cannot wait to visit again. Thank you so...
