“On the road, between Massachusetts where we spent a few days in January 2024, and JFK airport, we visited Wethersfield, a small historic town in Connecticut. The place is charming, especially on Main Street, where you can find a range of attractive businesses.Our favorite remains Lenoci's Italian Kitchen, a real pizzeria set up in a small house.Big surprise when we entered, seeing part of the local Italian-American community seated there! The pizzas are very generous and made on site in dedicated ovens.For a little over $40 for 3 people, we really enjoyed ourselves. I chose Lenoci's Spinach Special with spinach, potatoes, sausages and mozzarella in a small size: it's the equivalent of a family pizza in Paris. I recommend it, but we had to take half the order with us in packages because we were full!Very pleasant and available service.It is very possible that we will come back next time, if the opportunity arises, and when the temperatures are milder ?...“
“First time ordering I saw this restaurant on a Instagram! ordered a wrap and mozz sticks. Everything was fresh and prepared perfectly. I had order delivery and it was packaged well and delivered fast. Thank you to the establishment team for having such a cool pizza spot. I will be in to try the pizza soon! Can’t wait! Thank you!“
“I got a combo plater chicken and lamb over rice, peppers, onions, black beans, Salata salad with white sauce on top! Staff was very helpful and friendly. Nice clean modern decor. Easy to order, great portions. It was filling and tasty. First time trying this type of food and man I'm hooked!“
“I recently visited this charming coffee shop, and the experience was truly delightful. The cozy ambiance, combined with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, created a welcoming atmosphere. The baristas showcased a passion for their craft, evident in the expertly prepared drinks. The diverse menu offered a variety of coffee options, each delivering a distinct and satisfying flavor profile. The friendly staff and attention to detail in both service and presentation made this coffee shop a standout choice for any coffee enthusiast. I can't wait to return and explore more of their offerings!“
“This is one of my favorite places!! The food and drinks are amazing — the chopped salad is my go-to! They have tons of classes for all ages on top of being able to pop in and paint something any day of the week. They also have a small business market one weekend a month May-October with tons of awesome small businesses including jewelry, pottery, floral designs, stickers, paintings, soaps, teas and tinctures, permanent jewelry, clothing, candles and so much more. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Firestone. It’s one of a kind!!!♥️“
“I cant say enough good things about Craft Pizza, I've been a customer since I moved here in September and they have never disappointed. They go above and beyond, tonight I accidentally ordered a full pepperoni pizza instead of half cheese half pepperoni. When they called to check in, the pizza had already been made...and they went as far as to make me a small cheese for my vegetarian sister. They are so incredibly kind and make amazing food. Thank you!! <3“
“Great experience for the 1st time going to sparrow pizza Bar had some mozzarella sticks personalized pizza with pepperoni. Both things were excellent love it love. The pizza thin crust excellent taste Mozzarella sticks were out of this world, And the meatballs were excellent also. The customer service was Excellent. Nick Our server was on point with everything we ask thanks nick.“
“We tried this place based off the photos and recommendations from the locals. The portions are not the same.. The burrito mostly rice, wouldn’t kill to throw some veggies in there like grilled onions, peppers, etc. and the street corn while it was very tasty looked like a baby cob. Will try it again because it’s pretty good for Mexican food compared to other places in the area.“
“Best pizza, customer service is amazing. The owner is amazing very personable. I’ve been going here for over 13 years and still The only pizza place to brings home to my heart coming from NY!!!! Plus all the other options Are freaking amazing!!!!“
“Great little breakfast/brunch/lunch/bakery place for food along the Main Street.Everyone was very friendly service was fast and prompt. All of their food is made there fresh. The menu has a wide selection of some pretty unique items.The breakfast French toast casseroles were awesome! Very filling and flavorful.The place is small for seating, each table fits two with two chairs, but you can combine tables.Coffee was good and prices were fair.I also saw they have a wide variety of pastries.Parking: Parking is around the back of the store and is free.“
“My new favorite sandwich spot! I got the #1 breakfast sandwich which is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Well put together with spinach, red onions and a sauce you normally wouldn’t find on a breakfast Sammie. The Portuguese roll is the perfect choice for that. My partner got the Bronx Bomber pastrami sandwich which was quickly devoured. We will definitely be back!“
“Hidden in the corner, somewhere in Newington. Tokyo Cafe was a pleasantly delicious and wholesome surprise. My partner and I decided to venture out and try somewhere new and we may have just found our new regular spot.The dining room doesn’t have too much seating (6-8 tables max) and I would definitely consider it an intimate but cozy vibe. We frequent sushi of all calibers, this isn’t meant to be compared to Nobu or other establishments of the sort. It is an excellent neighborhood sushi restaurant.The food was fresh and delectable . My partner really enjoyed the Kani Salad as an appetizer. She said it was unique in taste and refreshing. I had a house salad with ginger dressing and the miso soup which was just what I wanted and what you would expect. We also shared the Pepper Tuna Tataki ??? absolutely delightful. I must mention all from the dressing to the consistency of the kani salad, this wasn’t the generic all you can eat, run of the mill spot.The very nice lady that waited on us was very attentive and put care into her work. The Sushi Itamae delivered with a beautiful presentation and construction of the “Sushi Sashimi Combo 4 Us”. We finished the meal off with some fried ice cream and left happy and full. I would recommend this place and we will be returning.“
“I have been a faithful Tapas customer since their West Hartford/Elmwood location. Food is delicious and always so fresh. Can't speak about the desserts other than the baklava, which is also always delicious. The only downside is the takeout only option.“
“Have gone twice now and both times have been awesome! First time I tried the steak burrito and second time the carnitas rice bowl. Both had great flavor. The restaurant is like Moe's or Chipotle but has way more options and toppings to choose from. Definitely recommend!“
“The word "hidden gem" is throw around often in the foodie world. So often enough, that it's almost annoying when people use it because when you go to the business's Yelp page they have 10,000+ reviews. Lol. Well, it's obviously not hidden very well is it? Anyway, Salsas 4 Taqueria IS a hidden gem, but hidden in plain sight...Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in a old-looking plaza with a state credit union, a regular bank and a learning center of sorts is this gem. The outside just doesn't look like much and the sign isn't too elaborate either. There is parking out front of course since it's in a plaza so there's nothing to worry about. Once inside it's just like a traditional Mexican spot. Dimly lit, colorful walls painted with the colors of the Mexican flag, cheap wooden chairs and exposed brick. It's exactly what you want to see from a place like this.Service: I've never eaten inside the restaurant because I always order online. This place doesn't even have its own website because they don't need it. You can order online through various services, but I personally go through Yelp. So I just go in, give my name and my order is usually ready.Food: So on their menu is something I've never seen before called a tlayuda. It's a handmade dish in traditional Oaxacan cuisine, consisting of a large, thin, crunchy, partially fried or toasted tortilla covered with a spread of refried beans, asiento (unrefined pork lard), lettuce or cabbage, avocado, meat (usually shredded chicken, beef tenderloin or pork), Oaxaca cheese, and salsa. Tlayudas are typical of Oaxaca and receive their name thanks to the particular texture of the tortilla. Unlike a soft tortilla, like those we usually see at taco stands or in the store, tlayudas are usually larger, heavier, and more consistent than a soft tortilla. They offer 4 types and I went with the Guelaquetza Tlayuda which is protein heavy filled with carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor. This this is SO DENSE and so delicious! I'm 5'9", 260 pounds and I could only eat half of this thing. It was so filling and I LOVED IT. It's the only thing I've ever eaten from here. Lol.Value: The Guelaquetza Tlayuda is $18.00 and 100% worth it. Period.I loved this place! It's nearby to where I live so I plan on paying this place many more visits in the near future!“
“Spicy Sriracha Noodle with Grilled Chicken is go good its my go to. Siam Corner Beef and Drunken noodles are both fantastic as well. The pork dumplings and crab ragoon with Edame are go to apps. The peanut sauce leaves a lot to be desired. All in all, we love this place.“
“"When the promise is broken, you go on living But it steals something from down in your soul" (Bruce Springsteen) If the name of your business promises "Giant Grinders", well you better damn deliver on that promise, right? You'll get no broken promises from CJ's Pizza and Giant Grinders, because their grinders sure do deliver on your expectations. They have 25 different grinders that truly are GIANT and sold in half ($9ish) or whole ($17-$19ish) sizes. Grinders are served with Lettuce, Tomatoes and Cheese, with Peppers and Onions by request. I stopped by for two "half sized" grinders yesterday, a Giant Ham and Provolone with lettuce, tomato, and onions, and an equally Giant Italian Combo with lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers, and jalapenos. The portions were huge. The half grinders are quite big and are piled very high with the goods, so a half of the half will be enough for a great meal. Our two sandwiches ran around $23 after the extras and tax, but we are getting 4 meals out of that $23. They also sell pizzas and some very nice salad varieties and pasta dinners with sausage and meatballs. It's a very nice old school pizza/grinder joint and the folks I interacted with were super friendly and welcoming.“
“Pizza is so incredible. Stumbled across this place on the way home from a trip and was not disappointed. The owner Shannon has extraordinary customer service! The Big Mac pizza is to die for. We drive thirty minutes to come to this spot. Hot, fresh, and quality pizza.“
“I ordered takeout as I work right down the street! Food was delicious and the portion size was perfect (Thai Peanut wrap!).I picked up my food and the very busy worker even made a point to thank me for ordering!Vegetarian options: They have tofu as a protein option!Dietary restrictions: So many options!“
“An absolute gem on the main drag in Manchester (not the mall area!) We came in at 5:30 on a Friday and we’re greeted right away. The drinks we tried were both fantastic. We ordered the Brussels sprouts app (my wife loves them, me not so much) and ended up cleaning that plate. We both did salads for dinner. Steak for the wife and I grabbed the cheeseburger salad and some wedge fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Dinner for two with an app and two drinks was priced well. The server was polite and timed her table visits just right. Don’t sleep on this one.“
“As I am writing this review I am crushing the meatball Parm with added onions that I just got from the twisted Italian Café. I called ahead, it was ready fast it tastes amazing, The woman behind the counter was pleasant and attentive I wish I lived closer to come here more often!“
“Best tuna grinders and salad!! Today was the first time I met Pete’s son and was super friendly and welcoming. Have loved their food since they were in the Wilson location. Highly recommend! Great staff, great food we will definitely be back.“
“I’m not even joking when I say this might be the best Thai restaurant in Connecticut. The food is literally amazing and the staff are just so wonderful to make you feel at home. The atmosphere has an industrial but cozy feel definitely come here.“
“I tried their breakfast burrito and churros. The burrito was flavorful and had a good amount of food. I think they should give sauce with the burrito. Very nice young lady who took my order. The churros were delicious. This is take out only, I recommend calling ahead to put your order in. As most items are made to order.“
“My husband and I have -never- been able to agree on a pizza place, but we found a unicorn in Leo's. Everything we've had (including Grinders and pasta dishes) have been delicious, with generous portions. The ricotta pizza is one of the best I've ever had.“
“Deliscious! Fresh and made to order classic style grinders. Excellent prices. Staff is friendly and helpful. Old-school feel. Highly recommendedVegetarian options: Veggie grinders, eggplant Parmigian etc.Parking: Small lot in front of store.Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is level with parking lot.Dietary restrictions: Build your grinders as you like.“
“I just had the Build Me Up Butternut with raspberry vinaigrette and added tofu on a gluten free wrap. It was outstanding! So delicious! Too bad I am just visiting the area because if I lived nearby I would be eating at this place all the time!!“
“We ordered tostones (flattened fried green plaintains) as appetizers. Then we had shrimp fried rice (a generous portion) and fried chicken with white rice and side salad... they were amazing! We definitely recommend this spot, especially if you have time before attending an event at The Bushnell. It is just a quick walk down the street.“
“This has become our favorite Chick-fil-A location in the area for many reasons. The food is always great, the staff is always friendly and this location always hosts a lot of family nights and other events throughout the year. We absolutely love this location and will always come back.“
“Elizabeth was what absolutely keeps this establishment a five-star staple for me. Not only is her customer service immaculate, but her kind, out-going attitude is what really makes the store shine.Wheelchair accessibility: People of the handicapped variety will have no issues accessing the restaurant.“
“Cavros is a small restaurant with around 8 tables. Standard Italian American menu. It's close by my house so I order take out often. It's very clean, reasonably priced & the employees have always treated me courteously. Small businesses locally owned deserve the business especially when they put the effort in like Cavros does!“
