BATMAN138 opened its doors at 138 Bank Street in Waterbury during the autumn of 1988. What began as a small neighbourhood trattoria quickly grew into a beloved gathering place for generations of Connecticut families. Our founder, Nino Rossi, brought his grandmother’s recipes from the hills of Tuscany and adapted them to the rich bounty of New England.
Every dish at BATMAN138 starts with the finest ingredients imported from Italy and sourced from local farms. Our pasta is rolled and cut by hand each morning. Our sauces simmer for hours. Our guests become family. We invite you to experience the warmth of genuine Italian hospitality at our Waterbury location.
From our classic spaghetti al pomodoro to our slow-braised osso buco, each plate at BATMAN138 is a celebration of flavour and tradition. Come share a meal with us and taste the difference that three decades of passion make. Read more about our story here.
From timeless classics to seasonal specials, our menus showcase the best of Italian cuisine made with love.
At BATMAN138, pasta is not a side dish. It is the heart of our kitchen. Every strand, sheet, and shape is rolled and cut by hand each morning using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations. Discover our fresh pasta from Nino’s.
Our pasta program at BATMAN138 is a labour of love. We use only organic semolina flour, farm-fresh eggs, and pure olive oil to create pasta that is silky, tender, and full of character. From traditional spaghetti and fettuccine to regional specialties like pappardelle, orecchiette, and cavatelli, every shape is chosen to pair perfectly with our house-made sauces.
We believe that great pasta starts with simple ingredients and patient hands. That is why our fresh pasta from Nino’s is never rushed. The dough rests, the sauce develops, and the flavours deepen. Visit our trattoria in Waterbury to watch our chefs at work or order a fresh pasta tray to bring the taste of Italy home.
The warmest reviews come from the tables of BATMAN138. Here is what our Waterbury family has to share.
BATMAN138 is the most authentic Italian restaurant in Waterbury. The fresh pasta is incredible, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are dining in a Tuscan villa. We go every Sunday after mass.
I have been coming to BATMAN138 for over fifteen years. The quality has never wavered. Their fresh pasta from Nino’s is the best I have had outside of Italy. Do not skip the tiramisù.
We hosted our daughter’s rehearsal dinner at BATMAN138 and it was perfect. The staff treated us like family, the menus offered something for everyone, and the pasta bar was a huge hit with our guests. Grazie mille!
