“I’ve been going to South Windsor pizza for a while now. The salads are pretty good and my favorite pizza is the Diginorio pizza. Beach chicken pizza is pretty good. The wraps are ok they give a lot of fries. Some of the people that work there are very nice. I’ve had both good and bad experiences from this place. The price isn’t too bad. Just be polite and you’ll be alright. They sometimes mess up the order, but hey, we are human. Only get the tuna stuff if you really like tuna they put a lot of it. Their fries are pretty good. Grinders are good no complaints there. I’ll continue to go I’ve been going consistently for years. Peace ✌️“
“I highly recommend Salute. We ended up at Salute after asking for a recommendation from a coworker for a family dinner. As soon as we walked in, they embraced us as family. All the wait staff was pleasant, knowledgeable and the service was quick, but not at all rushed. When the owner, Jimmy, learned we were there celebrating some big things, he truly went out of his way to make us feel special. I can’t thank him enough for all he did for us. It was our first time there, yet he took the time (on a busy night!) to learn our names, ask questions and congratulate us. The evening was complete with incredible food, gotta get yourself the cheesy garlic bread (YUM!!) and all our meals were generous portions and delicious. We all loved our drinks, too! After mentioning our experience to my brother, we learned him, his girlfriend, and her family had a similar experience. This is how they treat everyone.“
“A great dining experience, as always! We've eaten at J a half dozen or so times over the years. J is consistently excellent. Whether you're going “classic” with Filet Mignon or being more adventurous with Veal Milanese, you won't be disappointed! My veal was perfectly done, tender, hot, yet crunchy with a wonderfully light arugula side. My partner's Haddock was excellent with perfectly roasted potato wedges. The ambience was lively, busy and a little noisy on this particular evening, Service was efficient and professional. A very nice way to start our evening!“
“We were married at Georgina’s this past month and wanted to share how incredible our experience was. We had to move our ceremony inside due to weather. 40 minutes prior, there was no rain and Harold and the team started setting up for an outside ceremony, only for it to start sprinkling 5 minutes before the guest came, pushing the ceremony inside. We had a large (and loud) bridal party with a ton of kids. Harold was able to manage all of them and get them out in order and on time. Harold went along with any idea I had and made the night as perfect as could be. We could not recommend a better venue and coordinator. After stepping in the Grand ballroom, we knew our wedding would be perfect. So glad we trusted Harold and the team. He even packed up cake for us for when we got back to the hotel.“
“Fantastic experience! The staff was attentive, the food was a generous portion and so delicious! The meatballs appetizer was so good and the wood fired pizza really hit the spot. We only spend one weekend a year in Hartford and we all agreed we look forward to returning. Thank you!“
“Amazing food. Each bite was great, the portion was huge, and prices are good as well. The servers were very patient and answered every question we had.Food was out quick and in time for dinner!The atmosphere was good, the Iftar vibes ?????? Will definitely be back here with the family!“
“Hi, y'all! I just wanted to leave an honest review and tbh tl:dr please order or dine in this over the top establishment if you haven't done so already and if you have and weren't too savvy please give them another go.We moved here not so long ago and have been relying on Doordash for most of our lost track of time late night meals with reno and whatnot... Mario's is the only place in town to be guaranteed flavorful ( I come from a P.R./Italian house hold so iykyk), hot and I mean steaming, quality and quantity beyond expectations and fast delivery.. dare I start on customer service and the quality of it ? Chefs kisses all around! I have never been happier from their pasta dishes to the salads with the house dressings.. the pizza, discriptions do not do them justice!! I have always been drawn to Somers even in my youth, and I am proud to be able to call this town home and hold onto such a high caliber of a community it has. 10/10, will order again and again. I want to thank the staff, management, and owners for always delivering 120% in all fields and will continue to be a reoccurring customer! A special shout out to the delivery drivers that weather the roads when we request and always have a smile on!“
“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 ?...“

“We stopped here after a basketball game with the kids to grab couple slices of pizza, we ended up sitting down after we noticed they had few booths inside. This is a True Hidden Gem. It’s one of the best pizzas we’ve had. The dough was cooked to perfection with a crunch and no flop. Good sauce. Overall a wonderful pizza. Thank you!“
“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!!!!“
“A lovely little place to buy an array of classic Italian foods! The staff is pleasant and helpful, and the environment is welcoming as well as charmingly Italic.I've been here several times, typically attracted back to the deli meats and baked goods, of which both are always fresh and delicious. The packaged goods are also a treat, offering a nice little selection of sweets, snacks and staples alike.Overall, a good little shop for comfort foods, especially the ones like nonna use to make (or sneak to you when your parents weren't looking because she knew you also liked Nutella cookies)!“
“The exterior is unassuming, to say the least, but the interior is warm and welcoming. We had the strongly recommended reservations and were promptly seated. Some lovely wines were forthcoming; I could not resist the "Prayers of Sinners and Saints" from Washington state, while my wife's Sella Antica Super Tuscan was superb. Warm bread and garlic oil arrived to whet our appetites. We celebrated her birthday with Pesce Del Giorno En Papillote (Sea Bass with saffron potatoes, herbs, lemon, capers, tomatoes, and olives) while I tucked into Braised Beef & Truffle Pappardelle with mushrooms, demi glace, and a touch of cream. Son wolfed the Spaghetti allo Scoglio with clams, mussels, white wine, garlic, and fresh parsley. We finished the feast with flourless chocolate cake, an apple tart, and raspberry truffle ice cream. The Trattoria features produce and products from local farms, and it shows. Very tasty throughout, and a wonderful way to celebrate any special occasion (or just the fact that it's Wednesday!)“
“I always drive by here, but have never stopped in before today. I am glad I finally did-- a gem of a local market in Ellington, DiFiore has a great selection of fresh made pastas, baked goods, oils, and hot food at reasonable prices. There are spaces to order at the counter and dine in at the cozy sitting room, or get takeout. I got takeout penne alla vodka (came w/ a complimentary focaccia) and two cannoli, both were delicious.“
“Solid breakfast joint with fresh ingredients and cooked to order - with the BEST service from a different time and place, where people cared and customers mattered. I will stop by again when I'm passing through town to remind myself how things SHOULD be.“
“First timer, heard so many good reviews and did not disappoint!! Our waitress was wonderful and attentive. They gave our appetizer to the wrong table in error and the owner came right over and gave us another on the house. Food was delicious. And ate every bit. A+ and will definitely be back and recommend! The jazz band was fabulous!! We enjoyed our night out!“
“Love going to this well-established neighborhood bar/Italian restaurant. I live fairly close by. I treat myself once or twice a month here. I absolutely love the service, food and portion size. I eat my meal, and always have a take out portion for two more meals. The booths are roomy, and don't get me started on how good the mini baguette rolls are. Readers GO HERE. The bar side is always HOPPING! I may sit in there next time. Watch out!“
“We made the reservation based on reviews from TripAdvisor and we were very happy. The food selections varied between seafood, salads, comfort food and steaks. I am alllergic to dairy and the chef made substutions that allowed me to enjoy the sea scallops over delicious spinach rather than risotto. My steak salad was fresh and the steak pieces were melt in my mouth. My husband had grilled salmon and he said it was one of the best meals he has had.“
“Incredible! Fabulous Food! Beautiful Setting! Superior Service! Wonderful Wine! Linguine was al dente and luscious with a yummy Crab Sauce! The Chilean Sea Bass was done perfectly and the sauce and accompaniments were just right! The Veal Medallions melted in your mouth and the sauce was sensational. The cappuccino to end the dinner was very creamy and smooth and I loved it!!!! It was perfect meals again at this fine restaurant. We recommend this restaurant highly.“
“I love ordering from here. I don't always have this issue but sometimes the fries are soggy from the steam trapped in the cardboard box so I have to reheat them in my airfryer at home. They're always courteous when I call and promptly deliver the food. I've ordered many different things from there and mostly liked them all. Sometimes I have to get toppings for my salad on the side, like the southwest salad because otherwise the liquid from the Pico will make the tortilla strips wet and I just can't do it lol. But the quality is good for the food and most times make it correctly for the changes I request.“
“Nestled in the heart of downtown Manchester, Connecticut, Cafe Aura offers an exquisite dining experience perfect for celebrating special occasions, such as anniversaries. Nestled in a renovated building, Cafe Aura impresses patrons right from the moment they step through the door.The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant yet cozy, with a touch of sophistication in its decor. The renovation of the building is indeed noteworthy, as it seamlessly blends modern elements with classic charm. It's evident that attention to detail was a priority, and it certainly pays off.A highlight of Cafe Aura is undoubtedly the bar. With a fantastic selection of drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, it sets the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening. The Blood Orange Martini, in particular, stands out as a delightful choice, perfectly balanced and refreshing.As for the food, Cafe Aura truly shines with its authentic Italian cuisine. We indulged in a variety of dishes, each one exceeding expectations. The Risotto was creamy and flavorful, while the Lobster was cooked to perfection, showcasing the chef's skill and expertise. The Beet Salad provided a refreshing contrast, and the Calamari, sourced fresh, was a true delight for the senses.Furthermore, the wine list at Cafe Aura is extensive and well-curated, offering something for every palate. Whether you're a connoisseur or simply looking to enjoy a glass with your meal, you won't be disappointed.Overall, our experience at Cafe Aura was nothing short of exceptional. From the impressive renovation of the building to the impeccable service and delectable cuisine, every aspect exceeded our expectations. Hats off to the team at Cafe Aura for creating such a remarkable establishment. We look forward to returning for many more memorable celebrations in the future.Parking: Loads of parking in the back.“
“Great pizza and service. Pleasant experience and will be back! Not greasy food neither. We ordered the heart shaped pizza with different toppings. My husband loved the cheese amount and the fluffiness of the crust. We love a local mom and pops! ?“
“Wonderful food! The amount of food for the price surprised me. My delivery bag seemed too heavy to just be what I ordered but it was. Penne Alfredo with broccoli w/ side salad, came with fresh baked garlic bread (I’m told they make their own bread), and a side (or what I think was an entire meal) of sweet potato fries. I will definitely be ordering again. Estimated delivery time was on point.“
“"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.“
“An amazing dining experience at Bricco’s. I had the pork chop and salad with potatoes. The pork by far was the best I ever had anywhere in the area. Folks next to me had chicken parm and scallops, who said those too were great choices. Be sure to add an IPA or a glass of wine to the list. Our server Carrie was great and overall atmosphere was nice too. Be sure to add this one to your must go list and Briccos will not disappoint.“
“We had food experience, everything is made in house. The staff is excellent and we got to meet the chef and the owner's son. My wife and I travel quite a lot in America and Europe especially Austria and we have to say this is a hidden Gem. Everything we had was above and beyond. Thank you everyone at Carmine's for an excellent meal and good time.“
“Went to Sunday brunch Jan 21st. I placed a review in Yelp; therefore; this will be brief. I thought the food and temperature of the food was excellent. Lots of varieties; meats; veggies; pasta; salads; fruit; sides and desserts. Mimosas; champagne and Bloody Mary's were great. Plenty of parking and fast seating. The hostess allowed us to choose any available table. Our Waiter (Junior) was attentive; fast; accurate; professional and funny?. I noticed the Wait staff and Hostess were dressed in uniformity; wearing white shirts and black slacks. HOWEVER; I could not believe my eyes ? when I saw the 2 guys at the carving and omelette station. They were wearing "street" clothes (sweats) and beanies on their heads. They were not dressed in uniforms; or at least wearing aprons and matching caps or a hair net. Thank God they had on gloves. Totally; totally unprofessional and unsanitary. Everything was good up until seeing that; very disappointing.“
“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.“
“Its a small place. Mainly like grab and go. The food is good. The people are very nice and welcoming. Its never a long wait. I go on my lunch break. My favorite things are… The Cheesesteak sandwich, Chicken Caesar salad (Grilled) and Pasta Bolognese. Worth every penny.Parking: Its paid parking on the streets and garbage downtown“
“Service leaves a lot to be desired. Went for dinner tonight and was told a table was reserved and we would have to wait for the next one. Another group sits at the table that was reserved and was told no problem it was fine which then made the table we were waiting for reserved. If I knew we could just sit there we would have. Then after we are finally sat we were ignored as the tables on both sides of us that were sat after us were given water and menus while we sat and waited. I have no idea if the food is good or not as we never got served.“
“What an amazing experience. Our server Abby went above and beyond. The apps were superb. The meals were creative and made to perfection. Specialty drinks and dessert were a highlight. Make sure to make a reservation because there are not a lot of seats. Couldn't recommend this place enough.“
“I came here a few days ago with my boyfriend. We had been to the Newington location before. This location is totally different and better. It was busy but we were seated quickly. We ordered a large pizza and some buffalo wings. Our food came quickly. Everything was great! I love this style of pizza. The crust size is perfect. Not too thick , not too thin. The amount of cheese and sauce was great too. It was very lively and there was a little arcade. It would probably be nice to bring kids here. We will definitely come here again.Parking: The parking lot is decent, its not big but its not small either. We came on a Saturday night yet it wasn’t difficult to find parking.“
“Came to Bertucci's for a Little chef's party for my son. We had a great time! The kids loved making their own pizzas and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The food was really good (veggie pizza is one of the best I've ever had), Chaz and Luna were so accommodating and attentive. Thanks again! Highly recommend!“
“Every time I go here I order something different. The portions are large and it is always good! Surprisingly I haven't had the pizza yet but they are always busy with to go orders for pizza! We usually have my daughter with us (baby in a high chair) and the staff is always so great!Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs available and are cautious when putting items on table. (Keeping them far away from baby hands!)“
“When I lived in the Hartford area, First and Last was a regular haunt. Now that I live in the South, I find myself jonesing for the First and Last grilled sausage and peppers, served with side of shells in marinara. It rarely gets better than this, even if you find the real Italian sausage; I've been living in Charleston, a foodie paradise, but I have yet to find the real, homemade salsiccia that you get at First and Last, or buy at D&D market, close by. So mangia Hartford, and pray that this place never changes!“
“Such a cute place, very friendly and quaint. Our bartender was very engaging and offered food/wine pairings - our only problem with him is that he wouldn't disclose a favorite drink recipe! Lol! We were there for live music - Alex Rohan did not disappoint, we will now be following him as well. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable evening in all regards!“
“The homemade ravioli selection is outstanding and the sauces are excellent. We no loved the artichoke ravioli, puttanesca sauce , meat ravioli, Gorgonzola ravioli. We will definitely be back to stock up the freezer again. Fabulous selection and flavor“
“We had been looking for a place for lunch or dinner that was local and not a chain. Been driving by it for years and finally checked it out. The decor is a little dated so if classier atmosphere is what you're looking for go elsewhere. If you want well prepared italien food, larger portions, reasonable prices, friendly, efficient waitstaff and in a warm, family familiar setting....you have arrived!“
“Had the best prime rib dinner ever last night at Joanna’s. The meal wasn’t skimpy by any means. Definitely worth the price. Not only got a salad but a fresh vegetable that was seasoned just right. The prime rib was like butter, so tender. Will be going back for sure!“
“So my family gets grinders from this place all the time and pizza too. This time, though, I got the small calzone just to try it out... HOLY COW!!! this thing was the size of large ones at other places and not to mention, delicious beyond and then some lol. Amazing through and through.Parking: The only thing that would change that and make it a tad hard to find parking is if it was really really busy. Even though should be able to find parking easily still.“
“The food is excellent. The owner really puts love into her handmade dishes. Fresh ingredients make this spot a hidden gem. Try the shrimp rolls and the fried rice. Banging!!! Especially in a late night where all the restaurants are closed she is still cooking. ❤️ They have a juke box that has a good selection of pretty much anything. You can hear anything from Mobb Deep to the Eagles at this bar. Nice space to host a catered gathering as well as a small outdoor patio to enjoy the evening. Super cute spot. The bartenders could use an upgrade, as our order got forgotten for quite some time and there were quite a few forgetful moments but I guess it comes with the ambience. Try em...“
“Hi Friends... My family and i have been going to Charlie's Pizza for over 20 years.

Buon appetit to everyone.Parking: Parking In front of restaurant.“
“Went to catch lunch during a conference next door at the conference center and was pleasantly surprised. It was a cool little niche with a modern feel. We were sat quickly, efficiently and the staff was very pleasant! The lobster roll with homemade French fries for $18 was delicious. Not only served to look pretty but the taste was excellent. Great value. The fries are a must! The chicken panini was also great!“
“A nice solo eating place. Allen the server did a great job with the recommendation for soup selection. I had the grilled salmon. The veggie were delicious best I have had in a long time. A good variety selection on menu. I truly enjoyed my meal.“
“I get pizza here probably once a week. It's Greek style, very delicious and people are nice here. Their fried chicken dinner is amazing! The zing wings are great, especially with the zing hot sauce (ask for it!). It's a pizza restaurant with great options for entrees, apps and grinders as well. Family owned business. Ambiance is a casual pizza restaurant. They have a private room for private events as well. I had a birthday party for my son there once. It was great. Parking gets a little hectic when they're busy.“
“I absolutely love Vernon Pizza! Every single person is always friendly on the phone and in person, even when they're clearly very busy. The food is always hot and delicious. Love the chicken bacon cheddar wranch wrap, philly wrap, salads are huge and great, wings are awesome and did I mention the pizza rocks too?“
“I wish we could post multiple reviews because every time we order for pick up or especially dine in.. it's SUCH a wonderful experience! ? Today I went in with my brother who is a special needs adult and was having a rocky day so when a group of 6 sat down next to us he started to get a little anxious so I kindly asked staff if we could move and not only did they say yes but they were so kind and helped us move and made us feel so comfortably welcomed still I love that this is our new favorite spot!!!!“
“Perfect little New England spot, just ate there yesterday!The pizza was absolutely amazing, it had a thin, crunchy crust, loads of toppings and was served piping hot within 15 minutes of stepping into the place, and the personal pizza was the size of a regular small at least, it was split between two people and that was plenty.The staff is super friendly and patient, and the atmosphere was really cozy. The place was also clean, and comfortable. I wanted to order another pie!Antonio's is our favorite spot, can't wait to go again. 5 stars all the way.“
“We really enjoyed our meal. The updates to the restaurant are lovely. The server was very helpful with my food allergy requirements and friendly about it. The food itself was delicious and plentiful, and creative. We both enjoyed our meal very much and we will be back!“
“Everything about this restaurant was stupendous. Legitimately the best restaurant around. The staff and greeter were very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was awesome and the entire staff worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The food was fresh, delicious and exceptional! Great atmosphere and our overall dining experience was very enjoyable. The wife and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Family Restaurant“
“Lena's longevity in business is backed by it's cozy, family atmosphere, quality food, service and comparable pricing. ? For me personally, the eggplant has gotten too thin & crispy. (It's like eating fried bread crumbs chips.) We prefer a red sauce that sticks to the pasta with each bite. Lena's is a family favorite with easy access in & out.“
