Dattilo Fine Italian - Westbrook, Connecticut

The Sunday brunch here was lovely and reasonably priced. Our large group enjoyed the usual brunch items: omelette station, waffles, fruit, pasta station, a variety of seafood, chicken, salads, and desserts. The prime rib was excellent but the star of the show is the amazing views of the Ling Island Sound and well maintained grounds. Our waitress wasn’t very attentive but we had a great time nonetheless!

There's a reason for low average review on Google maps for this place. Find someplace else to eat.

The atmosphere is great but that's where good stuff ends. This place isn't worth the money you spend here.

Food
Charcuterie board had too much cheese and wasn't well balanced.
Ravioli was too sour had to leave all of it on the plate. When we told server about it, he says, desserts will be nice and sweet. (Sad)
The salad was good.
Dessert was good.
Irish cream coffee was bad.

When you pay $150 for dinner for two, this is not acceptable food quality.

The location is great but the food doesn't stand up to the mark.

I came here for dinner while staying in the hotel with my fiance for our second annual visit. We made a reservation for Datillo and showed up for our 5:30pm seating. We were seated in in the seaside bar and grill section and not the Datullo section, which we understood given Covid probably made it hard to have servers in both areas. We wished we had the view bit again understood given the circumstances.
Our waitress Linda was great and checked on us frequently and was friendly. We ordered steamed mussels for an appetizer and then the veal and steak. The mussels were good and you got a decent amount for the price. The main entrees were a bit smaller so glad we got the appetizer before hand. The steak was a bit overcooked, well done rather than medium, but still tasty. For the price I'd expect it to be correct, but the seasoning and flavor was very good.
Overall a nice visit, I'd recommend.

Beautiful ambience, service was amazing (Sebastian) and beef was the best we’ve had in quite some time. We topped it off with coffee and desserts.

It’s not too often we have a getaway to Water’s Edge but when we do dinner at Dattilo’s is always part of the experience.

Dinner was out of this world! The food was amazingly delicious. The dessert was just as good. Our compliments to the chef! But the icing on the cake was our waiter. Big “shout out” to Sebastian! He was so friendly and super hospitable and made our visit so much more enjoyable! Thank you!

The food was delicious, the view was amazing but the service was slow. That night, they weren’t packed but it took them long time to get our orders and serve our food. A friend recommended this place and told us that they had a great dining experience in spite the price. They were a lil pricey since it’s a fine dining restaurant so, I guess I expected too much from them and got disappointed with the service.

We ate at the restaurant for Father's Day. We had a good time. The food was good. The service was probably a D. It was a sunny day. We ate outside and ate from the buffet. The waitress did not ask or replenish the water. She was constantly at the other table next to us. The food was probably a B. Some of it was cold. The pasta could've been better. I think because the sauce was put together separate from the sauce it might be the reason why. I would've thought that with covid and having a buffet that they would've had hand sanitizer readily available. Going from the outside to the inside and touching the door handle and utensils at the bar we needed more hand sanitizer. The scenery was great. We sat outside with views of the ocean with a nice breeze from the ocean.

If it wasn’t for the location this place would be closed.
Food is definitely not Italian or upscale.
The best thing we’ve eaten was the frozen ciabatta bread they serve.
Even the coffee was very bad.
Just grab a burger at the cafe and enjoy the view
