Gaetano's Tavern on Main

The center of Wallingford has some great food choices. My favorite wasn't opening for another hour so we chose Gaetano's Tavern on Main, after looking at a couple of posted menus in windows. Outdoor seating all neighbors each other on the street in this restaurant row, so we chose a sidewalk table by the door. I had to go inside to ask for service but they were happy to accommodate us and gave attentive service throughout. The chicken lemongrass dumplings, which was one item that brought us to the door, were really well done. Special menu drinks from the bar were as described on the menu and flavorful. We switched to wine for our meals. My soft shell crab sandwich was innovative. Fried like...

It was a hot day out, but their outdoor seating was in the shade so it was fine to eat outside. Everyone from the hostess to the servers were very friendly and even offered to suggest some of their favorite foods. Our server had water at the table before we could even ask, which was nice since it was blisteringly hot outside. The food came out quickly with no issues, and was good. No complaints there at all. Very good for a date night away from the kids.

A regular for us.. great food at very fair prices. Love eating outside there. Try the pork chop picante if you like a bit of heat... not overwhelming but delish. (See pic) The staff there has alwUs been pleasant too. Oh and one other thing.. unlike alot of other restaurants these days...the prices are reasonable and portions very good!

I don't know what happened but I guess we just picked the wrong meal. Both of our meals had 0 flavor. I dumped half a shaker of Parmesan cheese on my dish and salt just to give it flavor. Fried Mozzarella sauce tasted like preggo from the jar. Really wasn't a good first experience. Server was great. Réservez une table maintenant

Always great service and food. The outside seating from spring through the early fall has been great. I recommend almost anything on the menu. You get AA frequent flyer rewards when you dine there, if you have you charge card registered with AA dining.
