The 25 Best Restaurants In Fairfield County, Connecticut 2024

"You could just get a pasta dish or a pizza from Bar Rosina’s in Greenwich, but you’d be doing it wrong. The path to success at this Italian restaurant is to order as many of their appetizers as you can fit on your table. Most of them are covered in a thick blanket of pecorino romano—you’ll get a strong whiff of cheese every time a waiter walks by. Make sure to prioritize some of the less conventionally Italian small plates, like the fried long hot peppers drizzled with labneh, and the burrata toast topped with strawberries, hazelnuts, and a savory brown butter sauce. If the weather’s nice, ask to sit outside on their cute patio with string lights. The spacious indoor dining room is also great for a big group dinner, especially one with any of your Westchester friends—it’s located one block from the New York border." - chloe zale, ciera velarde
