Aribella is an Italian restaurant in the Shelton neighborhood of Shelton.
“This restaurant was recommended on Resy, and it certainly lived up to the hype. The food was incredible! We started with blackened tuna served with a refreshing and zesty salad, followed by a spectacular swordfish and spinach dish. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area.”
“Went to AriBella for the very first time and WOW!!! I don’t know why we haven’t tried this place before but my meal was fantastic! The wife and I sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting the bartender Dino. Asked for a montepulciano and within seconds Dino had it served right up! For my meal I ordered the PAPPARDELLE AMANTEA (Homemade pappardelle pasta with clams, calamari, shrimp and scallops tossed in your choice of marinara, fra diavolo or white wine sauce) I went with the fra diavolo and it was absolutely delicious! I will be thinking about this meal all week and already looking forward to going back for it again.”
“My friend and I have been wanting to try this place out for a while, as we workout at the gym in the next parking lot over. So we went with a few other close friends and it did not disappoint. The parking lot is kinda small, but I think you can park in front at the office building lot since they are closed in evening. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, it was a bit cloudy when we went so we sat inside. It was a bit chilly in there, so we asked if the fireplace can be turned in, it was right behind us, and they obliged. Bread was put in table with butter and oil, the bread was not warm and that was a disappointment, but it was still good! We ordered our appetizers to share- calamari, eggplant and another fried dish I can't remember the name. All were take good. But I didn't want to fill up on appetizers bc I ordered the grilled octopus as my entree and wanted to enjoy it. My octopus was served in a bed of arugula and broccoli rab with a balsamic drizzle. It was so good. Definitely worth coming back for. Other entrees for our party was veal chop with mashed potato, asparagus risotto, swordfish, salmon. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Portions were decent. We all shared a slice of carrot cake, they were nice enough to put a candle in it, as one of my friends had a recent birthday. The cake was really good, we finished it! Also, my friend ordered the crab and corn chowder special, but it was a typo, it is CLAM and corn, but then our server, Al, came back apologetically, bc they were out of the soup altogether. But the chef offered her another soup that was not on the menu! That was a boss move! Al was a wonderful server. Attentive and personable. The bus not was good at getting our tables cleared for each course. There's a bar area with TVS, and a room for private events which has a big screen. Bathrooms are clean. Overall we had a great time and will be back I'm sure, hopefully in warmer weather so we can enjoy that outside patio.”
“Went out for ladies night and accidentally ended up here wish I could give more than 5 stars, service, atmosphere, food and drinks were all top notch! We had Jenny as our waitress everything she recommended was delicious. I definitely recommend requesting Jenny she was great!! We will definitely be back! If you are looking for a quiet romantic family owned restaurant this is the place to be!”
“Have not been here in ages. We were looking for somewhere different to go and I said let me see what’s up in Huntington Center and this place popped up. It looks like they put a very large room off the back since we were last here. They were busy and it looks like they had a good crowd in the bar area. Started off with eggplant rollatini, then for my entrée I chose chicken marsala and my partner chose the beef tip pasta. Everything was good but could’ve been hotter. We ended up being here almost 2 hours. It took an hour to get the entrees. The waiter apologized about the entrees taking longer but we think he forgot to put our order in to the kitchen. Other people who arrived after us were getting our entrées before us.”
