The State of Connecticut has closed dine-in service in restaurants effective 8:00 pm tonight in an effort to mitigate the coronavirus spread. Our kitchen—under strict health-safety protocols—will stay up and running to offer you takeout lunches and dinners.
Our full Takeout Menu will be available daily from 12:00 to 2:30 pm and from 5:00 to 9:00 pm, including everything from soup to salads to pizza and entrees. And we will continue to offer selections from the Specials page (subject to availability). Our popular Lasagna Bolognese will be added beginning Wednesday dinner.
To minimize contact as much as possible, we’ll take your credit card information with your order, and curbside pickup will be available to eliminate the need to enter the restaurant.
Delivery is also available through Doordash.
These are challenging times and we all need to be careful and stay safe, but together we will (continue to eat well while we) get through this.
Looking forward to seeing you when this is over and stay healthy,
~Ben, Bob, Linda, Michell e, Suzanne, Molly and the Alforno Team
