Gabriels in Westport and Valbella in Greenwich for upscale fare, both have some very good food. I did 5 years in Boston eating North End and 6 years living in Manhattan and Staten Island so have had some legit Italian and its pretty easy to duplicate if you have a little cooking skill, good ingredients, and a few recipes to guide you initially. I like the Hazan books, you can make some restaurant quality stuff with their recipes, then adapt them to what you like. A lot of places in CT you are getting overcooked pasta with watery sauce, even the above mentions miss the mark sometimes but Ive had some dishes from them worth learning to make. TLDR Italian is not hard learn to cook it yourself.
