“Our waiter Andrew was the best!!! His service, advice on food and drinks was spot on!! The portions were great and the food was amazing!! Can’t wait to go back up there again!“

“So very disappointed. Was there with a disabled person and treated terribly by customers and wait staff. Food was not good and service was terrible. Have been there previously and had a much better experience. I am not sure what changed but definitely will not go back or recommend this place if the same rude waitress is there. So very disappointed.“

“I love PP and Chicken Diablo is my FAV!“

“Was very pleased with the service. Waitress was attentive but not overbearing. The food was exceptionally well prepared. For 2 apps, 2 entrees, desserts and coffee the price was reasonable.“

“If you’re going to have a drink, have it before you go. We went there last night and had two glasses of house wine each and they were literally as much as our entrees. We eat out all the time and have never seen anything like that anywhere.“

“What an excellent experience we had last night! The restaurant is decorated beautifully for the holiday season. We sat at the bar & had impeccable service. The food was outstanding. The homemade bread and flavored butter -- just yum!! Calamari was cooked to perfection and the seafood pasta dish was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to return!!“

“Ninos provides amazing food and customer service. We are regulars when it comes to their pizza, grinders and pasta. Last night they catered for our gender reveal party and we had assorted pizzas, a 3 foot long steak and cheese grinder, garlic knots and focaccia bread. Everything was great and our guests really enjoyed the food!“

“My husband and I stopped here for the first time today and we were very satisfied with the food and service. while we waited for our meatball grinders we were offered a sample of their pea soup and it was the best we've ever had! that's saying something because I've always thought my mom's was the best. we ate our grinders until we were about to burst and they wrapped our leftovers for us. the best part about that is when we went back to eat them, our grinders were labeled "his :)" and "hers :)". we will definitely be eating here again!“

“the best italian grinder in SE CT“

“Not much to look at from the outside, but very deceiving. Our dinner was excellent. My husbands muscles were served perfectly. And, I had the best and most unusual salad. And our server, Adam, was by far the best ever. Olio is lucky to have him.“

“They’re plenty of good things to say about Fireside. The service, the food, even the music! Fireside easily became one of my favorite places to dine at. It’s such a beautiful establishment with amazing owners. Even the servers are amazing. The days i’ve been I was served by 2 amazing ladies. Patricia and Chloe. Extraordinary servers and their patience was amazing. Truly a great experience all around. The food is exactly what you’d want. In my opinion the crisp is the New Haven staple. Great restaurant.“

“Delicious food with the best staff!!“

“We had a large group today (25 people kids/adults), they were SO accommodating! The service was amazing, and Vincenzo was helpful setting everything up and checking in on us multiple times. We will 100% go back!“

“Had the pleasure of stopping in here a couple different times the past few weeks ordering out. Each time have been lucky enough to see Jojo himself — very warm and welcoming. Food is really great and will be a new regular spot!“

“My wife and I just moved to Norwich and were on the hunt for a regular pizza place, and I think we found it in Asylum Street Pizza. We ordered online for delivery, so the rating for atmosphere is mostly just reiteration for service. The shop was out of a dessert option and called immediately to offer a replacement. Both the worker on the phone and their delivery driver were extremely kind and polite. Delivery was quick, and the food was delicious.“

“Have been a customer of Golden Pizza for over 20 years. It's hard to see that it's even there if you don't know it. They are great people, and the food is delicious. They always have special's on the board and great soup!“

“The ratings for La Luna's should be a five. The food is delicious and visually appealing. The staff is excellent. The meals are freshly made . There are not that many Italian restaurants without having to drive a distance, that can live up to the quality of their meals. The owner , chefs and staff are very accommodating.“

“So glad we found this hidden gem ! Staff was super friendly, and quick. Red onion burger was probably thee best burger I've ever had ! French fries were super crispy and delish!! Hubby got a chicken parm grinder and cheesy fries. So much food we took a doggie bag to go. Pies and cakes looked super yummy. Friend got a small pizza and it was just loaded with so much meat !! Great food, excellent prices. If we are ever back in the area we will certainly visit again !!“

“They have very good food I would definitely come back“

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

“Tried Voc's for the first time tonight and it was great! Ordered a grilled chicken grinder and pepperoni pizza, both awesome. Quick time for pick up, friendly staff when I went in and delicious food. Be back soon! Thank you.“

“It gets an atmosphere of 5 is because its an old school Italian joint. Best meats great grinders solid feel. Not for trend setters but old school all day. Been going there since i was born. Large regular hot pepper thank me later, basics no hot pepper.“

“WE LOVE THEIR PIZZA!!!! BEST SAUCE, BEST CRUST, BEST EVERYTHING!!!!! �“

“Awesome food at a great price!“

“Engine No.6 Pizza Company where do I start! Not only is the pizza addicting but you guys go above and beyond for your customers! Some restaurants you can tell just want to take your money and are annoyed at small request made by customers but Engine 6 is not like this you guys come through for me on more than one occasion and I’m forever grateful. Thank You for being amazing!!“

“Love Ballo but really disappointed with how much the menu keeps changing. They charge now for house bread and took off the garlic bread. Got rid of shrimp scampi. Now got rid of chicken francaise which was Amazing there and our go to. Also used to have an amazing cheese and meat platter appetizer and that was removed. Wish some of those would be put back on. With so much change there really isn’t anything appealing to me now. This was our spot for anniversaries, birthdays, and lots of date nights.“

“Salt and pepper shakers were sticky and nasty to touch. Food is good otherwise. They need waitresses or waiters. Not the dude with a hoodie on all the time.“

“Ate there recently and had a great meal! And our server Lisa was so sweet and the service was perfect.“

“So friendly and family oriented. Great music plus games“

“My daughter and I eat here a lot everything I’ve ordered from here has been phenomenal ❣️ Friendly staff, great service, you can get takeout or dine in. I highly recommend it.🙌🏽“

“Recently moved back to CT from Texas and found myself here with a friend for date night. LG Pizza and a pitcher for $25 seemed like a good enough deal to us, and wow!!!! The pizza was fantastic and the bartender, Andrew was even better!! Friend and I stayed later than we planned, but the atmosphere was friendly and the service great. Been back for karaoke as well now, and think I've found my spot finally!!! 10/10 would recommend!!“

“Words of wisdom. Order off the restaurant site not an app. The owner made things right after a misunderstanding with the app. I will eat there again.“

“muy deliciosas sus pizzas...especialmente la hawaiana !! saludos !! que sigan los éxitos !!“

“I used to go here all the time. I used to pay 10 bucks or less for 2 slices and a soda, but now I paid 15 bucks for 2 slices of pizza and 2 sodas. Yikes! Good pizza, just now pricey. I think the soda costs more than the slices. No soda for me next time. I'm not a huge fan of crust (it's bland), but that's my personal opinion. NY style, and I love ny style.“

“Wanted to try the offmenu mac and cheese prepared tableside in a cheese wheel. The experience did not disappoint and the drink selection was nice. Food was excellent and arrived quickly. Would definitely return as service was great as well.“

“My wife and I had the Tuscan Table. The food was wonderful, and the wait staff was great. The waterfall is always a problem due to the sound, so we always eat inside. Choice of background music could have been better, but I'm sure it kept the staff "movin and groovin". Great value -- Thanks!“

“We ordered for delivery while staying in a nearby hotel. The delivery man was very friendly and polite and the extras were delivered in a large reusable bag--helpful when traveling. The pizza was amazing--some of the best I've had with a unique flavor to the crust. Well done Gus's. Thanks for making our fun night in the hotel memorable and delicious.“
