I dined at Chef Eugene about a year ago, but I haven't had a chance to post this until now. The atmosphere isn't overly fancy, but is nice, and the service is excellent. I went during the mid-afternoon on a relatively non-busy Sunday and had a chance to speak with Chef Eugene extensively. He has great stories to tell, and... more

My girlfriend and I went out to dinner at Cafe Eugene recently, largely because of its ranking and reviews on this site. I am always interested in trying different restaurants in the area, so we decided to give it a chance. Our dinner was a bizarre experience. We went at about 5:30 PM on a Saturday and the place was... more

This place is absolutely FABULOUS! The chef only wants to please you, he even writes on his menu cover "If you see something not on the menu that you would like, if we have the ingredients, we will make it for you!" We also have had wonderful experiences with the waitstaff (2 sisters). Like one of the other reviewers says,... more

While in Hartford we wanted a good place to eat. We went to Chef Eugene because of the reviews in Trip Advisor. What a disappointing experience. The food, from the salad to the entrees was simply not good. They did not have decaffeinated coffee and only two dessert items. more

Everyone was pleased with their choice and each thought their's... more

The Loacation: This is really superb Italian food in Hartford's old Italian Neighborhood. The Dinners: The dinner side salad with creamy garlic dressing was great. The calamari was terrific as well. The veal dishes are prepared sevaral different ways. I had the a la Eugene, a cream sauce delight. My companion tried the Marsala and both were excellent. Eugine really... more

We went here for dinner twice in the last six weeks, and all in all, it was a good experience. The service was excellent, and Chef Eugene came out of the kitchen to chat with us and to make sure that everything was good. The escarole and bean saute appetizer was excellent. The "signature" veal alla Eugene is a healthy... more
