Randazzo’s Trattoria

Love having a new restaurant in town! Middletown is a small farming town that has exploded with new growth and lots of new residents from out of state. They all want what they had back in their cities/states and tear down anything that doesn't suit their tastes. I've seen lots of great reviews on Randazzo's and a few rather harsh reviews, so we decided to give it a try. Well, first we were greeted as soon as we walked in the door, the atmosphere was great and it's an open concept kitchen. They were all working their butts off! While the main hostess was clearing a few tables, we had the sweetest young lady take our name down, and she sweetly said it would be 10 to 15 minutes' wait. Once the tables were cleared, we were promptly seated. Menus were vast with just about every meal option possible, and it all looked great! We watched lots of food come out of the kitchen and those dishes looked amazing! No skimping on the servings! We opted for a gluten-free pizza due to an allergy and the Chicken Capreze sandwich. Well, the pizza arrived, and it was clearly a hand tossed pizza dough, not the standard pre-made gluten-free crust most restaurants use. Had to clarify with our waitress, Angela - she was awesome, more on her in a minute - and Angela confirmed that YES, THEY DO REAL Gluten-free pizza dough!!!!!! Hold your hats folks, it was great! Tasted like real pizza crust! That alone is worth the trip! The Chicken Capreze sandwich was good as well. Didn't have room for dessert, but they all looked phenomenal! Definitely next time! Now, for Angela, our server, SHE'S AWESOME! She takes pride in her job, attentive to our requests, took time to actually have a conversation, not long because they were busy, but made sure we felt welcome. Will ask for Angela every time we go back now. People need to give this restaurant grace and a chance to work through a new start-up. They have only been open 3 weeks. Give them some time to get to know their customers and community. I think they are still waiting on their liquor license as there is a bar. That will be a nice addition! Super happy with our first visit and plan on going back soon!

Great gluten free pizza
