Le Bistro by Avila

If you are looking for an intimate restaurant with quality food, this is an A+. Nice selection with fresh ingredients. We have dined three times. This past Monday for the student volunteer fundraiser and abbreviated menu to support the local school. We dined here twice previously and enjoyed the gambas manchego and empanadas...yum! For Dinner, the garlic gambas are a must, its their signature item. The veal bolognese is wonderful too. The menu is always changing, so you can try something new each time. Now they offer 2 for 1 fine wines..$6 a glass. LOVE IT!

DELICIOUS!

We dined here for the first time in July and every few weeks since then. Everything we have ordered tastes exceptional, and we want to try it all. The portion sizes are perfect. The ambiance is nice and staff friendly. We are so pleased to have found Le Bistro in Torrington.

Superb! The gambas entree is simply wonderful. Chimichurri sauce is exceptional for the Steak. Fresh guacamole and blini tapas appetizers are not to be missed. Thrilled that we don't need to travel to West Hartford or Washington to enjoy a great meal. Food is amazing and priced modestly compared to others of the similar caliber.

Outstanding. Especially for this area. We are accustomed to having some of the best food available to us in New York, and can be challenging in Torrington with the abundance of heat and serve establishments. Le Bistro prepares all of the menu items themselves. Good portions and friendly service. So thrilled to have heard about this little place through our neighbors. Will be back soon, as we had a delightful time.

A Treasure for T-Town! Love this place. Visited last weekend and the food was spectacular. Place buzzing and service friendly. We enjoyed the mussels and the hanger chimichurri. The tapas menu is a neat idea with good selection to choose from, while waiting for entrees. Of course, we tried the house sangria which tastes authentic, not juiced down like other places. And the handmade desserts...WOW. Going again this weekend with my guy and next week with the girls.

This new place has the freshest food and a interesting menus. Tucked in the corner on top of East Main St. I have dined there a couple of times, and the food is fresh and cooked to perfection, with presentation. Seafood entrees are refreshing. Be sure to try salmon or shrimp for dinner, and mussels as a starter. Wonderful wines for $6-8, that you won't find elsewhere. Very welcoming and friendly. The service is paced and can be slower as the tables fill up. Amazing nearby place to have in our area.

Dined for Mother's Day Brunch 5/12/13 - Delicious food; my compliments to the chef. Taste and presentation were excellent. However, the waitress/owner has no personality with new customers and no waitress skills. If I judged our experience by her alone, I would never return. Had to repeatedly ask for non alcoholic beverage refills, Were presented with the check while still waiting for dessert to be served (20 minutes); then watched her bring it to the wrong table. If they want to increase business and have past diners return, they need to invest in an experienced waitress with a personality. I noticed another review with similar comments. Tempted not to leave a tip, but that wouldn't be fair to the talented chef. You need to spend a little money if you want satisfied diners. P.S. There were only 4 occupied tables, so it wasn't due to a busy time.

Found out about this great place through some colleagues. Freshest food, presented like you see on TV. They made our experience special with complimentary dessert for our celebration. Busy place, nice people, great food.

Food at Le Bistro is unlike anything else in town. Fresh, cooked perfectly and taste amazing! I highly recommend Le Bistro by Avila Try it for your next lunch, dinner or brunch date!

So adorable! The best food around. Nicest people. Special girls night martinis for our friend's birthday. Will be regulars for sure at this new place in Torrington. Definitely distinctive.

Best food in town. Had dinner this weekend. Service and ambiance was perfect. Small restaurant with charm. Heard baguette sandwiches for lunch are awesome too.

Be sure to have the Garlic Shrimp for dinner. Best thing I have ever had. Chicken sandwich is great for lunch. Nice little restaurant nearby with the best food.

Cutest little place! Best food! Takes a longer here, similar to any upscale dining. The owner does all of the cooking himself, which is so impressive. Definitely worth the wait and best food around! This is our new 'Go To' restaurant.
