“The best experience we’ve had in along time. Everything was so delicious. Our sever Cathy (not sure if it’s with a k) was so sweet, and both owners were so nice and took time to show us around the banquet room, which is so eloquently done! This is now become our favorite restaurant. Can’t wait to go back again!!!!”

“I'm so happy Avanti is back! But my favorite dish is no longer on the menu. Please, please bring back the steak pizzaiola! I love your food, but I loved that most of all. Just lose the filet mignon; they don't have enough fat anyway. Your steaks and pizza and pasta are incredible!”

“Thank you for a great birthday dinner for my daughter! Not only was the food and atmosphere amazing but I love how present the owner is. From seating us, to asking my daughter what her favorite app was and giving it to us on the house. He also noticed we didn’t order a dessert (we were all full and had leftovers) so he asked us if he could give us a dessert so we could sing happy birthday. Can’t wait to go back!”

“We walked in without a reservation at 6pm and were quickly sat at a table for 2. Our server was friendly and attentive, and who I assume was the owner personally checked on us twice. We had the Cider 75 drink from the specials list and it was so good I ordered 2! For dinner we had the chicken milanese and rigatoni bolognese—I couldn’t decide which I liked more. Thank you for a great dinner experience!”

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again”

“Having an outside party? THIS is the best food truck to hire! Today, June 21,2025, I’m at my niece’s graduation party & this food truck was amazing! It’s like having a personal restaurant on your lawn. The pizza was fantastic -THE BEST- actually! Frank made me a gluten free pizza with potato, bacon & carmelized onions. Oh my goodness! It has to be the BEST GF pizza I have ever eaten in my life. Super thin, well cooked! I can’t say enough good things about this pizza. He made all types of pizza. Very organized, clean and so delicious! Wonderful people to talk to! Then they have other services like Gelato Giuliana-between the pizza and the gelato-it is the best of New Haven! Then if that wasn’t enough, he made Italian coffee! I have never been so impressed by a food truck in my life as I was today! Wonderful experience! Best Wishes to Frank & his team! Buon Appetito!”

“Tried out the new pizza place here in town. The staff were nice, easy to order and friendly when picking up. The inside was clean and cute. The pizza was really good! I like a good thin pizza. I got pepperoni bacon and a cheese, picked up fresh from the oven and nestled inside a cardboard takeout box. The pizza was melted evenly across the surface, forming a smooth, slightly bubbly layer --ready to serve or devour. It's the kind of pizza that screams comfort food, perfect for movie nights, casual hangouts, or solo indulgence. They offer tacos, pastas and soups as well.”

“I have been going to Aldo’s for many years and think it’s time I left a review. Service - always 10/10, can never do enough for you. Value for money - 10/10. Everything is reasonably priced and the quality is unreal. I’ve probably tried everything on the menu but today I went for the Sunday dinner. Why would you get a roast at an Italian you may wonder, well let me tell you, I am the biggest roast critique as I am pretty good at them myself, but Aldo’s roast is the reason you should get a roast at an Italian. Beef, pink and tender, Yorkshire, fluffy and crispy, mash, buttery and smooth, roasts, caramelised and fluffy, veg, seasoned to perfection, all topped off with a thick shiny gravy. Cannot wait to be back next week for another round. P.S always get the little meatballs as a starter as they are THE tastiest things in the world.”

“We miss the Noto Italian Market already. Wonderful, delicious cheese lasagna better than my mother's. Please, please offer it again once you reopen the Italian market in Plantsville. Right now I don't even see lasagna on the menu but many people I know love it and I have been keeping a couple in the freezer too. Hope you plan to continue to offer it. Everything in the Italian market was good. The sauces, cheese etc.”

Una Pizza Napoletana, a popular spot in New York, has just been named the best pizza in the world by the 2024 Italian 50 Top Pizza ranking. This is a major victory for owner Anthony Mangieri, who has already earned the title of best pizza in the U.S. for three years in a row.
Naples-born Rosso Pomodoro has landed in Denver. The Italian pizza franchise just opened its first U.S. location in the city's Central Park neighborhood at 29th Ave Town Center. "It has long been a dream to introduce our brand of authentic Neapolitan-style pizza to every corner of America,” CEO Nicola Saraceno shared his excitement.
Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitana, a 100-year-old Coney Island eatery, is looking for a buyer or partner to keep its legacy alive, but it has one important condition. Totonno's has made it through fires, floods, and even COVID, but there's one thing they'll never tolerate: pineapple on their pizza.
