New Mill Restaurant: A Culinary Haven in Plantsville, CT

We had a gift certificate and thought we would try it. Nice little place I never knew it was there. We were seated promptly and ordered drinks. Although pricey, the fettuccine carbonara was very good. My wife had the crab stuffed cod, also very good. Loved the traditional salt and pepper shakers instead of those filthy mill type bacteria infested ones like some restaurants have. Nice dinner for two with tip, $116.00

When it's Friday night my wife wants one thing........pork! Although I'm often too tired for it. But still, I go to The New Mill. I am able to have one of their fantastic espresso martinis (I like mine with a splash of pineapple) and my wife gets the pork she craves. I must also commend them for their stellar service, easy parking and beautiful rustic decor.

Wow, what an experience! We were treated like the only patrons in the restaurant. Food was amazing, the short ribs and veggies were seasoned to perfection. Dave really treated us like family. Definitely coming back next year. Thanks from Virginia, Jeff and Lara

Will definitely come here again. The big portions were a plus and the service was great

New Mill never disappoints! Delicious food & cocktails in a beautiful setting. Love sitting at the bar to eat!

The New Mill restaurant has a New England country home like charm! The decore and seating area is rustic looking and feels cozy and comfortable! The restaurant is definitely a local favorite as it was fairly busy for a Tuesday evening! The server suggested their marquis appetizer: Spiedini Alla Romano (made with mozzarella, battered/fried, and served with a light tomato sauce). I tried it, and it was pretty good, but nothing out of this world! Although Broccoli Rabe was good! For the main entrée, I ordered a very nice NY strip and it was very yummy! All in all, a very nice family friendly italian restaurant with fun decor for the evening! Enjoyed the food and the wine!

Very nice dinner Saturday night. We got the Burrata and calamari to start, and I had the sea bass special. Substituted brussel sprouts for asparagus. Very nice flavor in the dish. Red Sangria was delicious. Had some nice red wine to follow. Will definitely be back. Packed restaurant is always a sign of excellent food too and it was super busy. Make a reservation.

What a gorgeous restaurant! My parents have been raving about New Mill so on my visit to CT, I made sure we came for dinner. The inside is decorated so adorably for Christmas! It is the definition of cozy cabin feels! The service was beyond outstanding. We were a party of seven and everyone was tended to promptly. We had some drinks and appetizers to start including crab cakes, beet salads, calamari, and broccoli rabe with sausage. All were delicious! Everyone enjoyed their entrees--I had the maple glazed pork chop and am confident in saying it was the best pork chop I have ever had at a restaurant! This restaurant embodies quality, service, ambience...all of it! I can't wait to return on my next trip to Connecticut!

We had a really fantastic experience at the New Mill last night. We have lived in Southington for a few years now but this was our first time venturing to the New Mill. We actually received a gift certificate and I'm so glad we did. My husband and I feel that through covid, a lot of restaurants have really gone downhill and we've been having a hard time finding a meal we've truly enjoyed lately. New Mill did not disappoint...at all!! We started with clams casino. Very tasty! We've grown up on the RI shores clamming ourselves. My family has been making traditional clam casino for 60 years and these are the closest to my family's recipe - sweet and simple - clams, bacon, peppers and onions. Broil until bacon is crispy - AMAZING! For dinner, I had a 16 oz NY strip special. It was cooked absolutely perfectly medium. It was served with delicious shaved Brussels with bacon and a mashed potato cake that was the perfect accompaniment. My husband had the cavatelli with caramelized pearl onions, sliced cherry peppers and Italian sausage. Soooooooo good!!! We just thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and our time out. So so GOOD! Can't wait to come back...now if they're only consistent, we've found a new gem!!
