R&R may be Bridgeport’s best kept secret. I have lived in Fairfield County for over 30 years and had never heard of this place. Just stumbled in. What a wonderful surprise: tasty food and pleasant service. A real find.
Today was a pleasant lunch. R&R is well worth a return visit – and we’ll be back soon for an extended dinner visit.
The stuffy Westport crowd may not travel East for restaurants very often, but this is an option they should not miss. Try it; you’ll love it.

We dined here at this elegant restaurant on the New Year's Eve Package. They had a wonderful 5 course dinner with perfect selections for each course. Food was first quality and excellent preparation. The service was very good. The only negative was the attire of the servers. Being New Year's Eve and everyone dressed properly and the fact that this is a highly rated restaurant, we were disappointed on how the servers were dressed in casual pants/jeans, button down shirts and sneakers. We expected that they would have been dressed properly and not like we were in McDonald's. Even all black attire if not jackets would have been more appropriate especially at a restaurant in this fine Hotel and area.
Since we were on the Delamar Hotel's New Year's Eve package, it also included a bar buffet breakfast in the morning which was not special, but adequate and tasty.
4. Barcelona

Located in the 1940's Hi Ho Motel, Barcelona Fairfield is a funky throwback in the hills of Easton, just off the Merritt Parkway. The dining room has the feel of Fairfield County circa 1970, with private booths, vibrant wallpaper, and photographs of family and friends. The interior's main focus is the welcoming bar and the beautiful 85-seat patio overlooking the trees and the parkway is the focus in warm weather. Fairfield features an intimate private dining room and a family-friendly vibe during the week.

Last summer we ate out on the patio and had a marvelous first visit. Tapas interesting. Sangria great. This time we weren't as happy. Sat inside (it IS winter) but found that having two servers was confusing. We received two on one tapas when we had ordered one. We were asked if we wanted our bill when we hadn't received all our food order. All in all we didn't feel like we need to go back.

Very traditional and authentic Italian Restaurant. Nice atmosphere and wood brick oven Gourmet Pizza Napoletana.

Enjoyed our evening but was surprised that my wife and neighbors wife who both have tiny appetites didn't feel their fish entrees were sufficient. We have been there numerous times hopefully just an off night.Neighbors seem hesitant to return had numerous suggestions for next evening out.

The brick oven pizza here is to die for. Absolutely the best pizza we’ve had outside of Italy and better than some there too! 3 words: white clam pizza. Just do it! It’s all about the pizza. There’s a salad on the menu but that’s it. Pizza!!!

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 65 reviews
Situated in the center of historic Black Rock, Connecticut, Fire Engine Pizza Co. Is a collaboration of owners, Martin McCarthy and Phil Segneri, who have refined their skills within the restaurant industry for over 20 years. Widely known for specialty pizzas served from the 1985 International Fire Engine that was stationed on Fairfield Avenue, Fire Engine Pizza Co. Was reinvented to bring together classic combinations with a modern twist. The menu offers gluten free options, a homemade mozzarella wedge that's unlike any others around - oozing with fresh mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers, basil, garlic, and spinach as well as entrees that have quickly become the talk of the town including Carmine's Eggplant, Rigatoni Tuscana, and Sunday at Carmela's just to name a few. With reclaimed barn-wood, hickory floors, and endless artifacts donated from local Fire Departments, Fire Engine Pizza Co. Exudes an early American ambiance with intricate detail from top to bottom. The rectangular bar is situated in the center of one half of the establishment, creating an inviting social environment that serves all the classics - plus seasonal cocktail specials throughout the year. The remaining half emanates a family- friendly atmosphere with a brick oven backdrop, creating a dining experience that is unmatched.

The food at this restaurant is delicious. We went for brunch and we were impressed by their breakfast pizza and their mimosa selection. However, they only had one waitress for the entire restaurant so the wait time before our next drink was 30min or more. It even took very long just to get our check. Don't visit if you're in a rush.

Love Life and Pizza at Brick and Wood....and we did! We wanted a quick bite for dinner and thought pizza was a good idea.
Brick and Wood is a very cute clean open restaurant eatery. Where you can watch the pizzas being made and cooked in the artisan oven.
We started with the Black Truffle Burrata and prosciutto platter which was excellent! Then a margarita pizza to share. It was the perfect light bite.
9. Harborview Market

Black Rock just would not be Black Rock without Harborview Market. It's a sandwich shop, bakery, coffee house, music venue, convenience market, and community gathering place. If you're in Black Rock (a village in Bridgeport) or anywhere nearby in Bridgeport or Fairfield, a visit to Harborview Market is time well spent.
Sample good coffee and hearty sandwiches. Take a seat among the plentiful tables. There are probably a dozen different kinds of chairs. Many of the tables are large, and you might wind up sharing a table with a local Black Rock resident. The natives are friendly in these parts.
There's also many tables outdoors. Food is delivered outdoors from the kitchen. The in-house wifi system provides good Internet connectivity, which many patrons use.
Rick and Michelle Torres are your hosts. Their children are part of the team. When you're at Harborview, you're at home.
Two warnings:
-- Lines can be long and wait times extended at peak times during breakfast and lunch hours. Be patient and meet your neighbors.
-- One thing you won't see: Black Rock Harbor. There is no view of it from Harborview Market. (Rather, the market is named for the street on which it's located.)

We had a very enjoyable dinner. They offer a very nice menu- salads, appetizers, pizzas, soup, fish, chicken, burgers, desserts and drinks. We started by sharing a margarita pizza with mushrooms. It was served piping hot and was very tasty and fresh. For my main course I had cod with roasted potatoes and asparagus- it was very fresh and a good size portion. My husband had the Pecorino Chicken- with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It had two good size chicken cutlets- had leftovers to bring home. I tasted his Chicken - it was very tasty. We skipped dessert as we were full. In addition we had very good service.
