“my wedding cake came out, absolutely beautifully. We are not big on cake, but this was truly some of the tastiest cake I’ve ever had. We went with white cake, vanilla frosting, and lemon filling. The lemon filling was just enough and not too overpowering. The display of the cake was beautiful as well. You will not be let down by choosing this bakery.”

“awesome place for drinks! food was great too!”

“Excellent bread and sandwich combos. The shop's staff are friendly and patient. Worth the drive from Norwich!”

“It’s just a WOW time you wouldn’t expect and huge space for any event.
Bar available, awesome food. You need to get your DJ or they have very reasonable DJs to suggest.
All together The French Club has a priced package for any venue that is reasonable and affordable for an average family. That’s my opinion. I’ve been to two events and been extremely impressed with the freedom to have fun if no one gets out of control, great catered food and awesome bar available. An all in one package. Or you can have your own DJ and catered meal. They are so easy to work with.
Check them out! Great Venue!”

“I recently tried the Italian Combo at Golden Pizza Restaurant and it absolutely delivered. The sandwich was loaded with fresh deli meats, perfectly sliced cheese, crisp lettuce, and ripe tomatoes, all brought together with just the right amount of oil and seasoning. Every bite had great flavor and balance.

What really stood out was the size. This thing was huge and easily one of the most filling sandwiches I’ve had in a while. You definitely get your money’s worth.

If you’re looking for a classic, no nonsense Italian combo done right, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

Very friendly and made us feel at home. Our server, Becky was great. Working hard with a smile . Very pleasant to talk to. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. Original burger and cheese fries and tuna salad sandwich. Very pleased. Looking forward to eating at Johnny Rockets again in the future”

“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t just another stop. This was a return. Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t just close… it was comfort. So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started. I parked the car. Looked at my old house. And I walked… just like I used to… straight to Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment. The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle. --- 2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest. --- The Atmosphere & Service This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spot—not because it’s fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me. The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming. And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s Pizza Plus. Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you. And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo”

“A beautiful old time restaurant vibe! The service was phenomenal!! The server was Jen and she was wonderful!! I ordered My food and it was out piping hot in a jiffy! Thank you!!”

“Our usual go-to for take out or a nice night out! The staff and bartenders are helpful and friendly. Food is always wonderful and I love the rotating specials menu.”

“First time eating at the “Onion”, Was very impressed! Best Pizza I’ve had in a long time!”

“First time trying Longo’s in Plainfield, and I was really happy with the experience. I got pizza and wings delivered, and everything arrived fresh, hot, and tasting great. The pizza had good flavor, and the wings were a solid choice too. Definitely a great local spot, and I’ll be ordering from here again.”

“food was excellent and tater tots a highlight, when are you coming back to the UK? we missed you in London!”

“Best restaurant in town. Great food, awesome staff, been going here for years and they even catered my wedding. Love Gus’s Pub! P.S. - My daughter has worked here for years and the owners treat their employees very well! As for the person who posted a review below…the check/money were found in a dishwasher bucket, they got swiped up by accident. (But regardless, it never would’ve taken it out of her paycheck, even if it had been stolen.) The customer deleted their post after Gus’s reached out. Sad to see this place being slandered based on a misunderstanding.”

“This is my all time favorite Ice cream spot. Girls are always so friendly and of course the ice cream is delicious”
