The pizza at this place is top tier. Not only where the toppings great but the foundation of a great crust is crucial! Im not a fan of pizza crust but I finished every hite of mine, which speaks measures. If youre in the mood for good pizza, and great attentive staff, this is the place.

Food was very bland, no seasoning, and quite pricey for not very tastey food. Definitely would not go back or recommend.

I have ordered here multiple times and it always takes an extremely long time to get your Take out order. It’s almost as though they start making it when you arrive to pick up. I keep Giving them another try and it’s always the same The pizza is always good. But I do find most things overly salted

Cozy atmosphere and great service. Kelly took care of us and she was excellent. Attentive checking in with us and patient. My husband and I enjoyed a couple of appetizers and a small salad (small was plenty!) while we awaited our small pizza. We boxed up leftover pizza and shared a dessert of brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream. Earlier without us asking, Kelly kindly provided us a little pitcher of ice water to refill our waters at our convenience, which was a nice touch. Normally we order takeout for delivery. It was so nice to take the time to dine in and have the experience of great service while there. Looking forward to dining in again sometime.

The pizza was amazing, the grinders were delicious, and the fried mozzarella was fantastic ! Everything was fresh, and made just right. Gino’s is a true East Hartford gem , definitely a go-to spot for a great meal!

Used to be the best pizza in the state. Been about four to five years since they changed the recipie. Sauce is not sweet like it once was and cheese is different. Now one of the worst pizzas around. Tried it again tonight hoping they reverted back to the old recipe I grew up on for 35+ years but nope.

My friend and I were there for lunch but asked for the dinner size Chicken Parm and Veal Parm meals. What we received was only one very thin piece of chicken and veal and a extremely small salad. Also, The price for the chicken dinner on the internet menu says $18.25 but was charged $20.25 and nothing was said to us about any extra charge. There was maybe a quarter pound of penne and maybe, at best one third of a chicken breast, and the salads were so small I don't even know what size to call them. VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED. I came from Bristol and my friend came from Springfield MA. What a waste of time, gas and money.

To the owner after your rude remarks, I think you have it wrong. It should have been BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION that there was an extra charge of $2.00 for your skimpy 25 cents worth of extra sauce, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. You are THE ONLY restaurant I've been too that even charges for a little extra sauce. HOW CHEAP CAN YOU BE?? And THE ONLY italian restaurant that serves ONE LITTLE ROLL instead of a decent portion of ITALIAN BREAD, (a LITTLE ROLL IS NOT BREAD AS YOU CALL IT), and THE ONLY italian restaurant that serves ONLY ONE thin little piece of chicken and such a small portion of pasta. Every other italian restaurant I've been to serves two good size pieces of chicken and about twice as much pasta for their chicken parm and about DOUBLE the size of your so called salad. You say your servings are by weight, MAYBE YOU SHOULD INCREASE YOUR DINNER WEIGHTS. Your regular dinner price of $18.25 for chicken parm is one of the most expensive and THE SMALLEST of dinner meals. Your Veal and Chicken Parm DINNERS WERE SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT AND RIP OFF. You say we should of brought out concerns to your staffs attention BEFORE WE LEFT. Why, would we have gotten another piece of chicken, more pasta, a bigger salad and some italian bread if we had? We wanted to be polite to your staff. And we gave our waitress a decent tip (about 25 percent) for her so so service. SHE should have told me there was a $2.00 charge for the little bit of extra sauce. This experience is too bad. I've always enjoyed your pizza but I GUARANTEE YOU WE WILL NEVER BE BACK after your rude and dissatisfying comments. You don't deserve to be in the restaurant business.

1st timers, stopped in on the way to the airport to go back to Chicago for some lunch.

Im a Sicilian foodie that loves a good meal!

We ordered lasagna and a small pizza.
Both were very well made, hot and tasty. Pizza crust was slightly crunchy and buttery, not oily at all. Sauce was excellent, as was the mushrooms & sausage. Generous amount of high quality cheese also not oily. Bravo.

Id definitely recommend both and come back the next time im in the area.
