We came here for a birthday and it was the most special night. The cheese wheel pasta was incredible, the wine selection was perfect, and the whole atmosphere made the evening unforgettable. Everything from the food to the service was spot on. What truly sets this place apart is the Xhokola family – their warmth and hospitality make the experience feel personal and memorable. ❤️

We had a truly exceptional experience at Ritrovo in Shelton. The atmosphere is warm, vibrant, and stylish, creating the perfect setting for a date night. It feels intimate and energetic at the same time. While the tables are a bit close together during peak hours, it actually adds to the lively, European-style dining vibe rather than detracting from the experience.
Gabby was stellar from start to finish. She was attentive without hovering, personable, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on, and she made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening.
Jamie, the General Manager, was equally impressive. He was excellent and very friendly, making a point to engage with guests and ensure everything was running seamlessly. That level of leadership and presence elevates a restaurant from good to outstanding.
Ritrovo delivers not just great food, but a polished, hospitality-driven experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

The past Sunday we had our wedding at Ritrovo’s and it was incredible. We had the ceremony in the small room next to the bar and then we had 35 people that took up half of the dining room for dinner. Everything was absolutely amazing from the appetizers, to the pasta to the main course. Jamie and his staff were wonderful, everyone was super attentive and paid attention to all the details. We highly recommend this restaurant for any type of event you plan to have, you will not be disappointed.
Again, thank you so much to Jamie, Antonio, Ana, Gabby and the rest of the staff, you made our special day perfect.

I am a first time customer, who is sure to be back! The customer service and food quality was exceptional!! A special thank you is also extended to Gabby, our server, whose kindness and efficiency, added to the pleasant dining experience!! In addition to the food, be sure you try at least one martini, during your visit. Consider making it a Dubai Chocolate one, which can also be done nut-free!!
