Alfresco dining season is still going strong in Downtown Torrington! ☀️🍽️

Sasso’s may be famous for its coal-fired pizza—but that’s definitely not all they make! We enjoyed a delicious salmon dish, coal-fired wings and a fresh salad topped with chicken. Everything tastes a little better outside on the patio on a beautiful day in the Litchfield Hills!

Have you been to Sasso’s? What’s your go-to order?

The Real McCoy - Water St 1947 as it appears in a privately owned photo album. McCoy's sold radios, phonographs, records, electrical appliances and musical instruments. It seems appropriate that this is now the home of Torrington's radio station, WAPJ.
