“Wow !!! A group of 4 of us were traveling through the area and needed a good place for Dinner …We called and made a reservation , the owner Al was very personable on the phone .We arrived for dinner and he had our name on table , and he introduced himself …We had a couple of beers while he explained the menu to us ….we Decided on a couple of appetizers and also a small pizza to sample before ordering our dinner . The appetizers arrived and were very good, but the star of the show was definitely the pizza , so much flavor … the crust was to die for light and airy and so much crunch in the crust !!!! Next was the Dinner - Chicken Francaise , Chicken Parm , Chicken Marsala , Fettuccini Carbonaro .All meals arrived hot and were Delicious …We also got to meets Al’s Daughter who was very personable just like her Father ….We wished we had this Restaurant in our community . Give this Restaurant a shot , you won’t regret it . Thank you“

“Sfogliatelle! They offer it frozen! Get it, pop it in your air fryer until golden brown and enjoy feeling like you are in heaven. It’s filled fully with great quality cheese and orange peel. It’s frozen so you can keep it on hand and feel free to lie to your friends that you made it. Best enjoyed alone with a cup of coffee on a quiet morning.“

“Great service and awesome food!“

Thank you for the exceptional evening and we look forward to joining you again in the very near future!“

“Stuffed mushrooms are to die for piazza also chicken wings a bit overcooked sauce was great tho also our driver was so concerned that something had happened to our order (he had gone over some speed bumps) that he would not leave until we checked the order we love this place and would definitely order again“

“When on a recommendation from a friend. Food and service were fantastic. Portions over the top. We will be back.“

“Great food and so clean!!“

“Planned a buffet for thirty people. Owner was great to work with. Food was delicious. Dining room was set up nicely. Perfect family affair.“

“This olive garden is the first one i've been to that doesn't have a strong smell of bathrooms when you go in. In a lot of olive gardens, the restrooms are right next to the entrance, and boy was that a poor choice in design. Instead of smelling the excellent garlics breads, you get that weird smell of pee mixed with deodorant salts. This is my only vomplain with this franchise older restaurants. But rest assure this one isn't one of those. We went in at 4 pm, everyone had a smile, the service was quick, refills where plentyfull and we had a great time. Great restautants for the kids too. For allergic customers, their garlic breadsticks are dary and egg free and they taste sooo good. Portions at olive garden are very large and prices are fair.“

“Ordered a meatball sub with hot peppers and mozzarella. The meatball were delicious! The best! I can not day one bad thing about this place. This was our first time here and we will be back! And the staff were great and treated us like family. They hit it out of the ballpark ! Mangia!“

“Carmela’s ravioli, pasta and sauce are amazing. It’s just the homemade flavor you’re craving. We get her pastas every year for Christmas dinner and buy it all year long as well. Once you eat from her shop you will surely be back for more!“

“El servicio es excelente; Ángel es como su nombre, me encantó, unas atenciones formidables.“

“We went for an early dinner Saturday afternoon our anniversary. Our server was Lance and he was fantastic. We really enjoyed our meals including the rum cake for dessert we go again in a heartbeat.“

“Wow, We ordered medium meat lovers, not only was an absolutely delicious😋; it’s huge they’re medium is larger than large pizzas. I can’t wait to come back here to try more.“

“📢📢Go to Square Peg Pizza! 🚨🚨 Outdoor patio, bar, arcade, indoor dining, event space, catering, and DRIVE THRU!!! Happy hour EVERY DAY 2-6 (buy two drinks, get a FREE small pizza 2-5p, and other great deals). This was honestly the BEST pizza I have had in a LOOOOONG time. For reference, my usual favorites are Mondo in Middletown and Modern in New Haven. Square Peg is at that level for me now. We ordered 1. Bianco + bacon, 2. Pepperoni, and 3. Spicy Margarita and I’d rank them in that order. Probably wouldn’t order the margarita again, but the other two…. No doubt in my mind that we’ll be back for these. The bottom crust was thin and floppy, but stable and not soggy. The sauce was light, not chunky or overpowering. Perfectly sliced meat for a good char but still tender. The edge crust was super soft and flavorful, good char, nice bubbles, not chewy or cracker-y. 5/5 couldn’t ask for anything better (except a golden canoli).“

“Always delicious and the staff is so nice! A ++“

“This was the first time that myself and my family decided to go to Violis. We had family visiting from Italy and it was very difficult to find a restaurant open on a Monday in my area. It's always a challenge when you find a new place cuz you have no idea how the food is going to be. To our surprise, everything was fantastic! From the servers to the person filling our Waters every time our Waters were empty. And most importantly the food was exceptional. We will be going back there soon and I highly recommend anybody who's interested in going do so.“

“Love this place, perfect lunch spot while working on the road. The steak sandwich.It is quite different from most places. This is not shaved steak, but cut very thinly. They roast your own peppers, which are excellent. There veal cutlet is also very good. They offer hot plates throughout the week that changes every day. It's a very authentic italian deli“

“From the moment I walked in , I was greated with a smile and a welcoming feeling, to the beautiful Italian music on a crisp sound system delightful to the ear and a subtle yet elegant interior design. I started with a glass of merlo with thier bread and butter and the chicken soup , perfect portion and great taste with the wine and soup. For my entree I went with a simple ravioli that came with a salad with thier house vinegarette. Soooooooooooooooo good!!!! I 💯 percent recommend this establishment for a lunch or dinner!“
