Sabrinas Restaurant

We keep going back to Sabrina’s hoping it will get better. Meals for four people never come out at the same time. Waitress blames owner/​cook. Owner blames waitress.

Very disappointed — this is the second time I ordered delivery and the second time the order arrived totally incorrect! Mind you I waited over an hour to get this incorrect delivery and I live 8 mins away.
The owner was very accommodating and redid the order and sent back out both times, and correct orders tasted good both times — for these reasons I gave them a 2 instead of a 1.
My question is — if taking orders is the problem, why would eating in be any better if an experience?

Horrendous and that’s being kind. Never in my life have I had to eat a meatball grinder with a knife and fork. The bread was so soggy it could not be picked up. The pasta is out of a box. Not even a tossed or house salad on the menu. If you ask for one they will say sure but then give you a cesar salad with two tomato wedges. The mozzarella sticks are OK but lacking in mozzarella but unfortunately the dipping sauce has an odd taste unidentified by four people which of course ruins the sticks. We were the only 4 people there and only one
person came in for take out so service was OK. The chicken parmesan was described as sub par and the pizza extremely greasy. Can not and will not recommend this place. Don’t understand why no stars is not an option.

A great little gem had the veal piccata over penne and it was amazing. Our waitress Wendy was fantastic.

What an amazing surprise find in Burlington! Jess L. and I were hesitant bc there were only 6 Unilocal reviews but our daring was rewarded. Incredibly generous portions gave me three meals of eggplant Parmesan and penne w pesto. The special garlic sauce served w bread was a treat and the salad to start was crunchy and fresh.

Sabrina’s was a delicious treat in the middle of central Connecticut. All the food is homemade, and the value is amazing. (See my photos!)
For $ 15, Lori N. got delicious eggplant parm *and* homemade pesto on penne. We could have seriously split that alone and invited more people to share. I loved my cavatelli with sausage and broccoli, which was also scrumptious and huge. Both mains also came with a house salad.
The bread basket comes with a special garlic sauce, which was addictive.
Big shout out to Wendi, who was entertaining and just the right amount of attentive throughout our meal.
I only wish Sabrina’s was closer to me! Though I suppose it’s good that it’s not because I would likely eat there all the time.

Best kept secret in Burlington Connecticut. If you haven’t tried it I highly recommend the restaurant. The food is delicious the portions are huge and the restaurant is so clean and beautiful! They even have outdoor seating with a fire pit! Please try you won’t be disappointed ! Her pizza dough is made daily she makes her own grinder rolls. The wait staff is awesome and Mary the owner is a very lovely person! The restaurant is named after her beautiful daughter Sabrina! I can’t wait to eat there again!

I first went to Sabrina’s in Feburary. Well, my husband and I have been going back every single Thursday since! We haven’t missed a week since!
The food is wonderful. Love the lobster ravioli and buffalo chicken pizza. The portions are huge and everything is simply delicious! I have tried many different meals from cheeseburgers to pizza to pasta to chicken and I have loved everything. The bread is homemade and delicious. Her pasta fagioli is as good as my mother’s. No one has ever been able to come close as my mother’s, but Mary’s is just as good if not better. (Sorry, mom.)
Mary, the owner and chef, is such a delight. The waitresses are pleasant and friendly. I highly recommend going to Sabrina’s for lunch or dinner. It’s also nice sitting outside in the summer on cool nights.
Sabrina’s is a gem!

We went to Sabrina’s on July 27, 2014 to check it out, and what a great surprise. Nice restaurant with a very pleasant staff. We were fortunate to meet the Chef/​owner, who was gracious and most friendly. We looked at the menus, which I might add is impressive! We said that we would call later to to order meals to be picked up. Both my husband and I ordered the Italian Combo, which is stuffed shells, lasagna, & manicotti, and comes with homemade rolls, and salad.
Our meals were absolutely delicious. The salads were made with all fresh ingredients, and the Balsamic dressing, which is house made, is the best that we have ever had. All 3 of our stuffed pasta’s on the combo were cooked to perfection the sauce is house made, and just delicious. The meat sauce in the Lasagna delicious, and not heavy. What was amazing to us is the freshness of the food, as well as it is not heavy, and cooked so well that you are able to taste this wonderful tomato sauce, and the fillings in the stuffed shells, manicotti & lasagna were delicious as well. The rolls that we had were baked to perfection.
The serving size is so generous, that we had leftovers the following night, and they were just as good as the first night.
We have gone to many local Italian Restaurants, and Sabrina’s is the best, and I would recommend it to our family and friends.
We are looking forward to trying all the items on the menu. There are so many items, and they all sound very appealing.
Sabrina’s in a wonderful compliment to the Town of Burlington.

I must have cought the owner on a bad day, she has a special sauce that she says is her sauce and is very arrogant without telling us what was in it. The pizza was under cooked and the sausage is nasty. When asked «how is it?» She ignored us. I do not recommend this place.

This is a great little restaurant. It IS a full blown restaurant. Wait staff and the whole bit. We’ve been gauging our pizza by the buff chicken lately, this one is excellent. If you prefer grilled chicken to breaded, like we do, you can request it.
Here’s the best part, I mentioned full blown restaurant, right? So, I’ve had their risotto, never been disappointed. I’ve had their surf and turf special, which changes from time to time, never been disappointed.
This may be a bit hard to find, but it’s worth it. If you’re Unilocaling, you’ll find it and enjoy it.

I may be biased because I’m a regular since I moved to this bucolic New England village, but… I’m a regular. I’m also a classically-​trained chef in my own right. I know food: I wouldn’t eat here or recommend it if it were not one of the hidden jewels of NW CT.
The waitstaff is perky and friendly; the kitchen staff is friendlier, always willing to take special requests or answer questions at table-​side about their offerings. What the décor lacks in sophistication is made up for the homeliness of the dining area – it has the cozy feel of being in someone’s dining room.
What really matters is the food. The bread is baked fresh daily and the bread dip, a tomato-​and-​oil-​based tapenade with fresh spices, is exceptional. Really, it may be the best thing they serve. The dinner side-​salad is fairly standard: lettuce, tomatoes, carrot, onions, green pepper and kalamata olives. The dressings are from a jar. The entrée selections on the menu are standard-​fare for mid-​market Italian-​cuisine from a pizza place but the quality is well above standard. I am a particular fan of the cheese ravioli. The pizza is markedly better than the standard pizza joint, even here in CT, itself home to some of America’s best pizza. The variety and quality of toppings is great. Both whole-​grain and white crusts are available. This is truly an unexpected gem.

It’s a hit or miss sometimes food is great other times horrible long delivery times it’s to bad in the beg it was a great place
