Editorial Review for First & Last Tavern – by Britt Jordan

The Scene
First & Last Tavern features an old-fashioned wooden bar that's packed most nights with businesspeople dodging their commutes home. Bar seating tends to be standing room only--at least you'll be at ear level with the local gossip.

The Draw
There's a good selection of imports and domestics on tap, including Michelob, Bass, John Courage and Guinness. Enjoy some of the state's best pizza in First & Last's main dining room. Available any way you like 'em, pies come in 12-, 15- and 18-inch sizes. If you can pass on the pizza, other classic Italian dishes include lasagna, pasta primavera and cioppino.

This is a great place to go with friends, everyone is sure to find something they like on the Menu. I have been a few times and only once did we have to wait long for a table (the girl actually messed up and forgot us, but then sent us home with extra free bread to make up for it) and the service is generally good. Don't expect the BEST pizza ( you have to go to New york for that) but overall a good choice.

Pros: good food, friendly place

Cons: parking can be a pain, may have to wait on friday/ sat nights

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

First & Last is one of the few restaurants still left in Hartford that holds great history in its walls and still puts great food on your table. Generally inexpensive (especially for the many college students living in that area), great atmosphere, great service, and always funominal food (ie. Neopolitan pizza and Antipasto). It's a small restaurant that stands just in front of Goodwin Park. Old pictures of the city of Hartford and famous faces that have walked into the establishment cover the walls, and beautiful built-in wooden booths and old Italian restauant feel are inviting. It's small, so if you have a large party make a reservation. If you come on the weekend be prepared to wait, and parking is fairly limited so look on the streets or across the way at their newly built bakery.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service

Cons: Parking
