Absolutely incredible dining experience at Il Vulcano! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The mussels were hands down the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked and served in the most delicious, flavorful broth that I honestly could have eaten on its own with a spoon. Just outstanding.
Then came the lasagna… wow. I was completely blown away. Rich, comforting, and layered with so much flavor — easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted.
To top it all off, the service was truly impressive. Attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special from start to finish.
I can’t recommend Il Vulcano enough — I’ll definitely be bac

The food was absolutely delicious. The linguine carbonara was the best my husband had. My pasta arrabiata gluten free was very good too, we had the special,
Linguine in garlic sauce with mussels was the best. The house salad was also fabulous!! Definitely do not miss this restaurant while you are in Westport! It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but once you open the second door, it comes alive
Was the first customer of the evening. Staff were so friendly and beyond attentive.
Food was delicious.
