Restaurant adventure in Ansonia a pleasant surprise

Check out this impromptu restaurant review written by a friend, Valley Arts Council President Rich DiCarlo:

Last night after a meeting we decided to try something a bit different than usual (for two Italians) and give this new Polish Restaurant a shot (What the heck). 
And we discovered something wonderful, as well as different (to us): the Warszawa Polish Restaurant at 350 Main St. in Ansonia.

At first we were intimidated as it felt like we just stepped back in time. 
We initially felt almost out of place ... like we were suddenly, no longer in Ansonia? Anyhow our pleasant server seated us and presented the menus. 
The menu offered simple traditional Polish foods (the kind of comfort food that I'v heard my Polish friends talk about). 
We panicked at the sight of a foreign language until we saw the translation offered on the opposite side, and we were relieved. 

I ordered sautéed mushrooms as my appetizer and the Polish sampler which was comprised of stuffed cabbage, pierogis, potato pancakes, and a medley which I didn't know what it was ... Truth be told, I loved it and cleaned my plate ... everything was perfect!

So I must tell you to try out this gem of a Restaurant on Main Street in Ansonia! It's a wonderful destination!
