A diner from West Hartford, CT Sep 15, 2012
Good comfort food in large portions. Veal dish was very good but the shrimp dish seemed a bit overdone. Sausage and peppers were fine. Service was attentive, prompt, and pleasant.
A diner from Hartford, CT May 4, 2011
We recently choose to have our end of the season meeting here -- as several of our members had eaten here in the pasted and found the food very good. However, our food was just barely adequate the all the food was served on the same plate, fish, chicken, and veal -- appearance was very unappetizing no. The salad was so cold like they had just taken it out of a freezer. The only thing that was good was the appetizer a cold antipasto plate and eggplant rollups. The head waitress was a bit snippy when some of us arrived a little earlier than anticipated our main waitress although was pretty accomandating. Overall I don't think I would go back mostly because I don't like to be made to feel unwelcome even if I have arrived earlier than anticipated.

A diner from Rocky Hill, CT Aug 13, 2010
We usually have take out so I really can't rate the waitress service. This is my favorite restaurant on Franklin Ave. They have the best fettuchini carbonara. Great fried calamari and antiposto. Again, we usally have take out. I have heard the waitresses are a little rude and snooty. Why we have take out? We don't like the ambience of the restaurant. I'd rather bring it home and enjoy the food home in comfort.

Not the worst food italian food in the world but the worst on Franklin Avenue. If anything, their food is 5 Stars compared to their shabby service. The waitresses are horrible and i've even caught them staring at us for long periods of time and for no reason. Also, everytime I needed the waitress, I noticed she was on her cell phone. I gave it a couple of trys but found the service immature and the food moderate at best.
A diner from Middletown, CT Mar 1, 2000
Not a bad deal. They don't have a bar, but they do serve wine and beer. The two times I ordered wine it was horribly watered down. Save your money.

The food is pretty good for the price. They make a wonderful shrimp Sebby and veal Sebby. We had an office dinner and everyone thought the food was great.

It's a good place to bring a large family. The prices drop dramatically during the week.

One experience was ruined because the guests at a private party had half a dozen screaming kids running around and management shrugged their shoulders when I complained. The disruption spoiled what could have been a nice dinner.

    I had never been to Azucar, it always looked nice from the outside with wrought iron gates and a lit up purple sign. We decided to go for dinner this past Saturday night before attending a concert at the XL Center. Wha
