30 Best Italian Restaurants near Bolton

“We are full-time wedding photographers, and we had the pleasure of photographing a wedding ceremony and reception at Georgina’s on a summer day with a wonderful couple. The space in the back of the restaurant turned out to be larger than expected in person and amazingly well suited for photos both during the wedding itself and after with the couple and their friends and family. We used the ceremony space and the small bridge to make some very cute shots. Moving inside we were able to enjoy a sweet and intimate evening with some fantastic food. Everyone loved it all from what we could see, and the couple was very happy with the wedding and how the photos came out. Our thanks to the considerate and attentive staff, too! We hope to be back in the future to photograph more memorable weddings. Scott Kruitbosch @scottkruitbosch Noella Barone @photosbynoella“

Stacey is an excellent server, she made helpful recommendations for cocktails and entrees. I highly recommend the restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to returning!“

“It Is My opinion that this is the best Italian Food in Connecticut. if you love Italian food you will love this restaurant.“

“Had a half Eggplant, nice pie! Good crust, great sauce and just the right amount of cheese. Eggplant was tasty too!“

“Love Holiday restaurant!!“

“We have had food from the new location in Preston Connecticut three times now. They had only been two days, a few weeks, and now a few months when we are here. First impression was the cheese pizza had no taste but the deep dish pep was good. Second impression was similar. Now a few months into establishing, the cheese is delicious. Great sauce and cheese flavor and ratios. Crust is just right. We did have a few pieces of the Detroit/deep dish pep but not all of our deep dish tasted “Smokey.” The best way to explain it is like the smokiness of mezcal tequila. Most of the pep was charred so we suspect it was over cooked or was adjacent to something else in the oven that burnt. Overall, positive experience and in time, we think this restaurant will continue to strive and adjust recipes and cooking techniques to meet or exceed expectations.“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Joey’s Garlic! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the penne a la vodka, shrimp scampi, and fried calamari, and every dish was full of flavor. The portions were huge—definitely family-style! Honestly, one plate would have been enough for both of us, and we still had plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home. The restaurant itself has a beautiful setting with an industrial hipster vibe, warm lighting, and a fun flare that makes the atmosphere really inviting. Service was excellent—our server was both fast and friendly, which made the evening even better. For the quality and size of the portions, the pricing was amazing and very affordable. We truly felt like we got more than our money’s worth. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu next time!“

“We stopped on a road trip and got a delicious Tuscan chicken pizza and the girls that were there were super friendly and nice people. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

Definitely going back.“

“Everything I order has always been top notch quality. Mac and cheese bites are to die for. And I haven’t had a bad pizza yet. I travel 20 minutes just to come here. Best pizza around for sure.“

“Took a trip to DiFiore Ravioli shop in Ellington, CT. They make 15 varieties of homemade Ravioli, sauces, oils, amazing desserts, and more. We picked up the TENDERLOIN & BACON ravioli, and the SHRIMP & ROASTED GARLIC ravioli. They were out of the lobster ravioli, but we picked up the homemade Tiramasu. While there we saw they made gourmet sandwiches, which we ordered and ate outside. They were amazing, so big, we could only eat half (pics taken after we started) Great place, staff were fantastic!! Very nice people. We will definitely return!!!“

“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!“

“They consistently give us great food! One of the local go-tos!“

“Our family stopped at Marlborough Pizza after being out and about and finding ourselves tired and hungry. We were blessed to get Olivia as a waitress. She was FABULOUS!! Our daughter has severe food allergies and she handled them with such care and professionalism, while also being friendly and funny. She even called the owner at home to inquire about ingredients in something (and he was helpful, too). We couldn't be more impressed or grateful! It's always nerve-wracking to go out to eat with a child with allergies. But Olivia and the entire staff at Marlborough Pizza made it easy and safe, while feeding us yummy food (it's always yummy there). All of the staff was so kind and helpful. You've got a great team there! Thank you so much!“

“Listen I know everybody says this about their local spot. Everybody is like oh my God these are the best wings etc. I'm telling you right now these chicken wings dominate anything I've ever had and I have been to many many places. The crunch, the flavor, the juicy tenderness in the middle. I'm telling you you can't beat these wings. Well hold on we're not done yet that's just the wings you don't even want to know how good the pizza is. As well as the grinders. Top notch food for an unbelievable fair price I would highly recommend this is why I call this my favorite spot. If you haven't tried it yet you better try it because you're missing out. Stop paying overpriced for trash food come here leave with some money for some beer when you get home and have your taste buds tingling and your belly full“

“Food is great, atmosphere is nice, service sometimes spotty, but Brandon is the man who makes up for it! To be transparent, I had been waiting around about 30 minutes past when my food was supposed to be ready to get my order, but Brandon was the only person on the staff who had checked in with me and apologized for the mistake, WHILE he was already busy working on his own things. I wasn’t even trying to bust chops, but I was told another 8 minutes and it became another 20 for the pizza, and then my pasta was forgotten when the other staff initially handed me my order. Brandon held it down and was able to get complimentary carrot cake for my girlfriend because of the long wait, which I appreciated. Check in with Brandon, he’s great along with his service, and so is the food.“

“We just had our class reunion at Murphy's. The experience could not have been ANY better! Jack and Charles were incredible, attending to our group and helping us to have an experience that EVERY person raved about. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful and the service was top notch! I wish that I knew the names of both servers. They were both excellent, cheerful and worked so hard. Bella was incredible. She made sure that no glass was empty and that each person had exactly what they needed. The other server was also extremely atrentive to our guests. Charles went above and beyond helping us to get a slideshow up on the big screen and Jack had great suggestions that made our reunion a HUGE success. My hat is off to the entire staff. This reunion was amazing and you helped to make many happy memories. We are so grateful!

If you want an excellent experience with amazing staff in a beautiful place with awesome musc, book your next event at Murphy's. You will be so glad that you did!“
