Reviews for Rein Osteria in Danbury, CT
Fabulous! We took a chance that we could get a table but by 6pm on a Saturday all were reserved. We sat at the very large bar, ... on comfortable stools and had yummy cocktails. I had a delicious fettuccine in a light sauce with shrimp, asparagus, little'pillows' of mozzarella and various kinds of cherry tomatoes. My daughter had perfectly cooked lamb chops. Service was superb. Can't wait to go again! Read more
First timers and loved Cowboy steak. Our waitress tonight was fantastic
Traveled from the Bronx, N.Y. to check this place out based on a friend's recommendation, and it didn't disappoint. Friendly... staff; our server was personable, offered suggestions, and checked in on us just the right amount. She could see that we weredeep in conversation, and didn't invade our space. The food, drinks, and dessert were delicious! Tried two salads-caesar andstrawberries & spinach-both were fresh and the sizes were enough for two. The Chilean sea bass and crabmeat stuffed sole areenough to keep me coming back. Not overcooked, seasoned well, tasty sides, and very satisfying. The cheesecake and lemon tartfor dessert were so good, I'll think they'll be my appetizers on my next trip. Throw in a few espresso and chocolate martinisand this place is a 10 out of 10! This is one restaurant you'll want to add to your list of favorites. I'll definitely be back. Read more
Generally fine dining experience. Atmosphere is nice although the fairly large bar crowd makes the dining room noisy, so it's... difficult to have a conversation. Suggest asking to be seated as far from the bar as possible or even better, outside. Staffwas attentive. Our water was regularly refilled and empty plates were cleared quickly. Food was mostly very good. Generousportions, well-composed dishes, appealing plating. The one disappointment was the Chicken Milanese dish I ordered wassignificantly overdone to the point of being inedible. I pointed it out to the waitress who said she would tell the kitchen, butthat was it. Given I only ate a quarter of it and declined to take the rest home, I clearly didn't enjoy it. I expected it to beremoved from the bill but was charged full price for it. I didn't have the energy to make a big deal out of it; however, even anoffer of free dessert would have been nice. Not bad enough to keep me from going back but I wouldn't order the Chicken Milaneseagain. Read more
Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. The waitress was quite slow to take our order. She was very nice and maybe new to the job. Will... definitely go back. Large bar area, plenty of tables and a nice menu. Attractive place. Read more

Great food, great service! We started with the oysters which were amazing. I had the pork which came with potatoes and Brussel... sprouts, my husband had the New York strip steak which was fantastic! We will definitely go back. Read more
Great place with an amazing vibe. There’s a bar where you can seat by the counter and enjoy some appetizers and drinks or just... get a table to enjoy some good food in a more private way. I did make a reservation beforehand but when I was there, there weremany empty tables. I still recommend making reservations though. The service was great, Bre, our waitress, was super friendly,always around and helping us by explaining and making suggestions about the menu options. For the food, we had a crispy Brusselssprout flat bread which was amazing! For the entrees my wife had an organic salmon with pesto risotto which was just great and Ihad a crab meat carbonara. The only reason I gave it fours stars was that my carbonara was below my expectations. Couldn’tfeel to much flavor and the pasta, I would expect to be a little bit more al dente specially in such a good restaurant. Place isa little bit pricy but expected given the level of the restaurant. Overall, I’ll definitely come back. Read more
