“Service is fantastic! New menu changes regularly which makes a regular customer hard to find consistency. The broken lasagna was excellent! Steak options much improved. Wish they offered a little bread on the side given that that is a typical expectation of any good Italian restaurant. Management needs to consider a bread option in the future to real bring to a true Italian experience. Suggest the kitchen travel abroad to learn how good Italian cuisine is offered and appreciated!“
“We dined there last night to celebrate my wife's Birthday. We had seared scallops and rack of lamb which both were spectacular. Our server Amanda was absolutely amazing and made wonderful recommendations. We definitely will dine there again and try other dishes. Would have given it 10 stars but 5 was the max.“
“We live in N.J. and did a little family get away with my Daughter & her Fiance. My Family & I enjoyed our experience @Via Emilia . It was one of the best Italian restaurants we've ever been to, All four of us enjoyed our meals. My husband is writing a more detailed review .“
“Been wanting to stop for sometime and finally did. Wish I had stopped sooner! Very friendly staff and amazing food. Check out their Facebook page for daily specials. Everything I sampled and purchased was delicious! The owner Jay was very pleasant and informative. Will definitely be going back again and again.“
“Really cute place. could feel the love. The wait does take a while so beware if bringing kids or if starving. I had a shrimp special and it was good and light. my husband has ate here before and adores this place. this time he got the Buffalo Mac and it was amazing. the garlic bread is good. the Tiramisu was really good. I got a little pasta dish, a cannoli, and carrot cake to go. the cannoli wasn't my favorite but it was my first cannoli so maybe I'm just not a fan. the pasta was simple and plain. but the carrot cake, absolutely try this.“
“I loved this restaurant. It is a fun and lively environment. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We ordered the sea scallop risotto and the lamb chops as our main courses, they were both fantastic. For appetizers we got the ricotta bruschetta and white sauce mussels, also very good. The wait for our food was quite long but it was a busy night.“
“The vibes of the low light is prime for romantic dinners with your significant other, the food is always on point and the top of the servers is Jerry, for those who’ve been before they know how great of a server he is, I’ve always requested him every time I’ve gone, unfortunately he doesn’t work there anymore but I’m sure he’s left the younger servers with the blueprint to be the best.“
“What a gem! Really lovely experience and are shocked it wasn’t packed on a Sunday night. It’s a bit of a drive for us, but we will definitely be back.The atmosphere and service gave classy vibes. Tasty cocktails and appetizers. Loved the authenticity of flavors — had our first empanada! We ordered several things off the specials menu, and while my own steak wasn’t a particularly tender cut, there are certainly plenty of options to choose from. Locals are lucky to have this place! Just wish we had saved room for dessert…“
“From the moment we walked into Charlie's place we knew we were going to have a good experience ...... the place looked nice , staff were all friendly, and the food was awesome! We will be going back soon, and if you're in the area go to Charlie's you won't be disappointed!“
“I frequent Golden Pizza and often have large orders for my work place. The food is always hot and ready on time, and our crew at work absolutely loves the food! The facilities are always clean and welcoming, and the best part is hands-down the service. Malika, Phil, and their crew are the nicest people!“
“Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Highly recommended if you want to be happy that you spent your money on a meal. The food was made with fresh ingredients and you can taste it in every bite. We are not from the area but we are so grateful that we found Jojos’s Breakfast.“
“Stopped by here randomly with my family (wife & 3 kids) on a trip from NY to Boston .. We ordered a large cheese pizza to go. We were eager to get home so we ate it in the car.. The pizza was excellent. We all loved it.. My wife & kids all claimed that it was the best pizza they've EVER had.. It might not have been the best pizza I've EVER had but it's in the top 5. I actually thought the pizza may have even been a little bit undercooked and it was still phenomenal.. My only gripe was that I didn't order 2 or 3 more pizzas for the road and leftovers. During the remaining hour and 45 minute trip from the restaurant to Boston all we talked about was how good that pizza was.. True story...*5-STARS*“
“Great people working here! Actually friendly and welcoming. Ordered a pizza for pick up and ordered one when we got there. With no hesitation they made it and offered plates and napkins to go. Staff were super friendly. My mom recommended this place as we are visiting from out of state and it’s a win!“
“Skip the casino food and make the drive. Surprisingly good meal at very affordable prices. After checking on the availability of options in the Mohegan Sun, we decided against the long wait times and make the 15 minute drive to The Recovery Room. Absolutely worth it! Parking is available and there is a long bar at which you can eat. The waitstaff appears to be all very young, but they are well trained and work very well together to provide delicious food like the Arincini, clam casino pizza and fried calamari that my table shared. The burgers are also outstanding and the fries at just the way I like them. If I’m in the area again, this will be my first choice.Dietary restrictions: GF pasta is available for an additional fee.“
“First time ever going here. Food was great. I had the chicken and broccoli Alfredo, you get a portion big enough for several meals. My husband got fish&chips and throughly enjoyed his meal as well..(Pic is of my leftovers, forgot to take a pic before)“
“We had a phenomenal experience here for dinner. The food was delicious and the prices were beyond reasonable. We had lasagna and stuffed flounder that were both great. And most of all, the service was amazing. Everybody was kind and welcoming, especially our server Kaitlyn, she was so kind and attentive.“
“THE GRINDERS HERE ARE FANTASTIC. FULL STOP!!!! Ignore the naysayers. This is a very small simple Italian grinder shop. It's likely that this shop used to be more robust & offer Italian groceries & subs: more like a real Italian Deli. It's pretty bare bones now but that's okay bc it's still EXCELLENT. They just have scaled back tremendously to focus on a dozen or so different grinders. THEY USE AWESOME AUTHENTIC ITALIAN BREAD for their grinders. And their Italian oil they drizzle on some of their subs is DELISH & TOP QUALITY. I had a turkey grinder with LTO, sweet & hot peppers & drizzle of olive oil & freshly cracked pepper. The SMALL SUBS are 9 INCHES & are ~$10- The LARGE SUBS ARE 12 INCHES ~$12-. They sell a few flavors of small sized Community potato chips, Cole slaw, macaroni & potato salad $2.50 & 3-4 types of cold canned soda. The staff were very nice, kind, & courteous. There's only 1 or 2 older gentlemen working in the shop & there's a steady stream of customers. I DEFINITELY recommend calling ahead 15+ mins to order if you are in a hurry. ALSO CASH ONLY. (ATM AVAILABLE ACROSS STREET AT LOCAL RICHONI’S BAR & TAVERN). Overall EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR DELICIOUS TOP QUALITY GRINDERS!“

“best roast beef grinder/sub/whatever in town. don't like their pizza but I've never had anything other than their pizza I haven't really enjoyed. they get 5 stars for food still because it's not a pizza joint. get what they do best - sandwiches or wraps. great local family owned place too. not for dining in though.“
“Ate in on a rainy Saturday night, very much enjoyed the stuffed meat lovers pizza, which was huge and very filling; served with marinara on the side. Excellent value with plenty of leftovers. It was a busy night for takeout orders and the waitress was manning both the tables and cash register, so service was a bit slow, but we got a garlic knot (also excellent) some complimentary sample slices of pizza while waiting. Will certainly be returning.“
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! To start, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is inviting and clean. The wonderful people that work and run things are amazing with our kiddos and the service has been stellar. I literally can’t name one thing that has gone wrong since we started making this our regular stop and I don’t expect there to be one in the future.“
“Food was amazing!! My favorite dish was the lobster bisque. Service was a little slow due to the popularity. The atmosphere is very nice and welcoming.Kid-friendliness: I took my kids who are 4 and 7 and they also enjoyed it. They have a kids menu with plenty of options such as grilled cheese and many other kid friendly foods like pizza and soups.“
“This place is a hidden gem! The food was outstanding and the service impeccable. We went before a show at Mohegan. They accommodated us at the bar even though we arrived before they officially opened. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for out group of 13!“
“I called and asked for recommendations, I ordered a roast beef and bacon grinder toasted along with a small pizza palace special pizza. They were both delicious and different! The bacon was on both items and it had a great, different smoked flavor. Very good. I used delivery and they were very prompt, within 30 min. Worth every penny!“
“We had a great dinner from Woodfellas! Saw it as I dove by earlier in the day and decided to give it a try. We did take-out but the atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting! Our next meal here will be dine in.The owner greeted me as I walked in and was very pleasant! We ordered the love salad and a cheese pizza. The salad was amazing! Full of garlic and pepper and cheese and salami! Authentic Hughies Love Salad!! The pizza was great! Sauce was good with a nice wood fire crust! Fabulous dinner and can't wait to dine in!“
“I had the combo ( Italian grinder)You can definitely taste each ingredient and the bread is surprisingly soft and doesn't get hard overnight. One of the best Grinders i ever had.The prices are very affordable (under $10) for a large grinder and staff is very friendly.“
“This is by far my favorite pizza. Bacon Artichoke Spinach is such a fantastic combo. They make deep dish pizza with the cheese all the way to and over the edges of the crust. Even though I don't live near here anymore, I still think about how delicious it is. I know when I am in the area and hungry, I'd stop by for a personal pizza.Vegetarian options: Toppings can be changedDietary restrictions: Toppings can be changedParking: Big parking lot, but a little tight backing outKid-friendliness: Pizza and good atmosphere for themWheelchair accessibility: Ramps and handicapped parking“
“This restaurant was absolutely phenomenal. My group and I were surprised to see the restaurant so quiet on a Saturday afternoon! I wish I remembered the name of our server, she was a lovely older woman with a lot of knowledge about mystic. Our experience at this restaurant was 10/10, great food, atmosphere and service. Would love to come back again on the next trip to mystic!“
“Having been a customer for over 10 years, I was quite disappointed when on Feb.18, 2024 when we went at 3pm when the restaurant opened and very few people were there at the time, that Ballo’s would not accommodate my dietary request. We sat down ordered iced teas and ended up leaving after paying for our drinks.On that day, I went to order chicken Francese and asked that the garlic be omitted. I was told by the waiter they can no longer remove the garlic as the sauce was pre-made.Since I don’t eat fish or red meats, I asked if I could just have a side of spaghetti with a little butter and fresh spinach & Parmesan cheese. The waiter left to ask the kitchen and said no.My husband & I then paid for our iced teas and left.It is still bothering me that such a simple dinner request could not be accommodated.In every restaurant I go to and order chicken Francese, the garlic can be omitted.Never mind that my second request was flatly refused. A simple pasta dish could not be made? The food industry is serviced based and it’s the customers that pay for the food & service.I think that was lost on my Feb.18, 2024 visit.“
“Starving at the casino, I come across the menu trying to find gluten-free options (gotta love food allergies). Literally there a few minutes later, heaven sent! This is the ONLY pizza shop in CT that I found that makes calzones first of all.... secondly, hands down best Gluten-free takeout that I have ever had! ❤️ thank you to the young man at the counter, you are awesome!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“

“The service is fast, friendly and the food is delicious. Soft Italian music and such a large selection of meals and treats. Can't go wrong here.Plenty of parking to accommodate guests, small bar area compared so some of the other locations.Sephora was our waiter and very pleasant to work worth.Thanks Olive Garden!“
“While I was in East Lyme visiting I decided to try this place. It was actually really good and the service was pretty enjoyable as well. I ordered the plum ceaser and the pesto bread and both were super tasteful. Whoever is in the East Lyme area should most definitely try out The Plum Tomato!! :)))“
“I would love to give 5 stars to all because, food was delicious, service was amazing and the place was clean, beautiful and cozy… the only thing that I didn’t like was the mandatory gratuity that was on the initial bill ( more than 20%) and at the time of final receipt another space for more tip… I believe people will be generous if this “detail” on the tip/ gratuity will NOT be forced.“
“Went here for my friends Birthday celebration ? I ordered the Greek Salad ? a slice of cheese pizza ? and a raspberry ice tea ? The food was good and the service was good ?????Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free pizza dough and I believe breadsKid-friendliness: They have a children's selection on the menu and crayons and paper to color and draw with, also high chair's.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes I saw wheelchair accessible“
“First time I ever ate anything from there. A friend of mine told me that they had really good pizza and me being a pizza aficionado I figured for sure I would be able to say, "it was good or it was bad." It was absolutely one of the best pizzas I've ever had. They don't skimp on the cheese. They don't skimp on the meat that they put on top. The crust is a very, very nice crust. I couldn't say anything could have been better. I'll definitely go back.“
“Had a huge group of us show up last minute and they handled everything perfectly. Everyone ordered different things and everyone enjoyed their food. I’ve been here several times and the food is always delicious. Nice to have a good place to eat that’s not in the casino!“
“This place is hands down my favorite! I ordered a Turkey grinder, Buffalo chicken pizza and garlic cheese bread. Absolutely delicious. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend their food. It’s tough finding a good selection of food that’s quick and quality made. You have my business! ?“
“My wife and I were told by family members and friends to try Nino's pizzeria so we finally decided to try it and it didn't disappoint the employees were friendly and offered us a sample piece of pizza which was a nice touch. we ended up ordering the garbage pie pizza without mushrooms (don't let the name fool you it isn't garbage) and it was worth the price we paid well worth traveling the extra miles for .we will definitely be going back again and try some of there other menu items I would recommend Nino's Pizzeria to anyone and if you haven't tried them yet you should .“
