Best Brunch Restaurants in Sandy Hook

Excellent as always. Wish there was a cozy fireplace inside the dining room. The outdoor dining in summer is awesome when fireplace is lit.

Great food, really beautiful. The service was wonderful and ambiance great. Can’t wait to go back and try some more!

We had heard of a new restaurant in Shelton, CT called Mercato, but couldn't get in - so we decided to try the Southbury location. The menu had something for everyone, but we especially enjoyed the Wood Fired Olives to start. Whipped Ricotta was also very good, but I believe I'd like the fig jam on the side rather than on top of the ricotta (it was very good, but I think I would have liked to control the amount of jam personally). Our waitress was very attentive, drinks and meals served promptly and more importantly, the dinners were piping hot and very fresh. Cacio E Pepe with bucatini was amazing, just the right amount of creaminess and pepper and the Fettuccini Carbonara also an excellent choice. Desserts were heavenly (cannoli super fresh), cappuccino and espresso strong and hot! Overall and excellent happy accident and we will definitely be back - and hope to try the amazing looking pizzas!

From being warmly greeted at the door, to a table I had requested on Open Table when I made the reservation (and Sal e Pepe made happen), to the food and friendly service, it was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had.

We’re still new to the area and went to Marygold’s for the first time 12/09 for an early dinner. Outstanding from start to finish. The cocktails were out of this world and the Chef and culinary team’s food was the BEST we’ve had in the area. We can’t wait to return.
