We stopped in on our way home from NJ to RI. We were craving good Italian food and we find the perfect place. Such a cute spot! Vibes were so adorable. Food and service were amazing. We will definitely be back! Totally would be worth the 1.5 hour drive!!

Second time coming here… first time was a terrible experience but since we were a part of a large party, I couldn’t leave a fair review. This time, it was just my husband and I. We sat at the bar, which had 2 other parties of two. One sat before us, one came after we were sat. The other parties received bread before their appetizers, we did not. The other parties both got silverware, we had to request ours AFTER the server brought us our appetizers, which took awhile since she kept running off. The server was scarcely available and overwhelmed. Took a very long time to even order a drink upon arrival because the servers were gossiping over work related issues. Although our server was friendly during the brief interactions we had, the service was bad enough for me to feel the need to leave a review. Service is a large part of the experience dining out and for that alone, I would not return here. For the food, we got the calamari and caprese salad for apps. The only thing worth recommending is the prosciutto that comes with the caprese. My husband and I both got a pasta dish, mine was the fettuccine bolognese and was the only one worth recommending. Food was not great enough for us to return but I think if the service wasn’t so displeasing, we would consider coming back to try different dishes.

We visited for lunch so the place was quiet. The food was fresh and very tasty – we couldn’t put our forks down. Service was great – server kept checking on us to see if we have everything we need and kept filling up our water glasses. Very generous portions – country sized. Rustic vibes and decor.

For many years We have been going to this place for outside lunches and dinners. We love the byob is an added bonus ( they add a small charge for uncorking and the glasses etc)
I recommend reservations since it’s not a large restaurant and weather permitting outside seating makes the tables fewer.
Having my favorite bottle of wine for this holiday friends dinner with good food will always have this place on my list when I’m in the area.
The reason for four stars for service was because they had a restaurant full with not enough staff to run the bar and the restaurant; we had to wait for a menu?
Idk otherwise this place is great from prior visits.

So I have lived in the area for twenty plus years.And never came here.I’d always heard about the cauliflower appetizer. I read the reviews in some weren’t that great.However, my experience today has been fantastic! I got the cauliflower appetizer and I asked for chicken francis which is not on the menu.But was phenomenal, the chicken was soft and tender.Not pounded to a quarter inch it was just perfect.Nice, thick, gorgeous and wonderful.I’ll see if I can post the pictures

This spot is welcoming with a modern jazz-retro-vintage flair. Mike makes amazing espresso martinis! I’ve traveled to Italy, and I can say with confidence my Carbona was to DIE FOR! My boyfriend’s Penne alla Vodka was delicious as well. Friendly service and talented chef! Highly recommend if you’re in the Gilford area!

I came here the other day, and the waitress was noticeably delightful. She was so friendly and so welcoming, and just gave off this comfortable demeanor.
I ordered my food, learned that there are no burgers at this place, and settled down to sit. She brought me this beautiful glass of water, but it was kind of heavy, and I couldn’t lift it to drink it because I’ve injured my elbows.
I asked her for a straw. She asked if I wouldn’t mind telling her how I injured my elbows and I told her “well I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, which means…” and she completed my sentence for me. She knew what it was!
She is apparently studying to be an EMT. I have encountered many medical professionals in extensive fields of learning, who have no idea what Ehlers Danlos syndrome is, so I was very impressed.
She offered to open the door for me when I was leaving. She held the check down so I could sign it because I couldn’t lift my arm. She was insanely accommodating, and so kind.
I will absolutely be back.
I wish her luck on her studies! The world needs more people like her.

The Guilford Bistro & Grill has been open since 2006. When we first visited in December 2023, we had to wait an hour for a table. However, since then, the restaurant has been almost empty each time we’ve gone—especially during lunch hours. It hasn’t been featured on any major websites besides restaurant review platforms.
That said, the food is excellent, and their lunch prices are very reasonable. I personally prefer their lunch menu. The atmosphere is cozy, even though the space is relatively small.

One of the slowest and least attentive service I have ever seen. The place was busy but still pretty incredible how no one was even checking in.
All food was pretty good but overall wouldn’t come again
