Danbury Is Home to Connecticut’s Best Hotel Restaurant, According to Love Food

According to Love Food, when you’ve been traveling all day the last thing you want to do is go hunting for dinner. Luckily, some hotels across America make that decision easy by offering restaurants so good, you don’t even have to leave the building — or change out of your “travel clothes.”

Here in Connecticut, Hotel Zero Degrees in Danbury makes that list thanks to its top-tier in-house spot, Terra Danbury. They say the restaurant takes its inspiration from the Alpine regions of northern Italy, serving up a menu that changes with the season but always includes plenty of pizza and pasta.

Love Food says guests can’t stop raving about both the food and the hospitality — the kind that makes even a business trip feel like a mini-vacation. Simply put, Terra Danbury isn’t just for out-of-towners; it’s good enough that even locals are booking tables.

First of all, I can count on one hand the number of times Danbury has gotten national love for being the best at anything in Connecticut. So yeah, I’ll take this as progress — a small but solid step in the right direction. But let’s be honest, we’ve still got a long way to go, because the truth is, Danbury has the best of everything.

Our food scene doesn’t get nearly enough credit, our outdoor spots blow the rest of the state out of the water, and the people here? Absolute apex predators — and I mean that as the highest possible compliment.

P.S. There’s nothing more obnoxious than traveling all day with the kids, finally making it to your destination, tossing your bags on the floor, running to the bathroom—and then realizing the real battle begins: what are we eating? Now it’s time for a full-blown family roundtable while everyone’s already starving, scrolling through reviews, figuring out directions, hunting for parking, and praying the place doesn’t suck.

Give me a hotel restaurant ten times out of ten. I’m an adult—I know what I can order to avoid a disappointing meal. And if the server’s scratching their scalp with their pen, you can bet I’m not ordering the clams casino. Just give me two orders of French fries and a coke please. No one at Terra does that by the way, the review is spot on, the place is a gem.
