Their gluten-free crust is excellent, and I’ve never had any problems after eating it. The staff are very friendly, always remember our orders, and take careful precautions to ensure my food is safe.“

“The Pinnacle of High-Class Dining

Well, folks, let me tell ya, I done seen some fancy places in my day—like the Red Lobster out by the interstate—but nothing, and I mean *nothing*, coulda prepared me for the high society experience that is Olive Garden. This ain't just dinner, it's a dang *event*.

First thing I noticed was the atmosphere. Real cloth napkins, not just the scratchy brown ones from a gas station dispenser. A lady in a button-up shirt brought us bread *for free*, and I nearly fell out my boots. That’s hospitality, right there. The sign says, *"When You’re Here, You’re Family,"* and I gotta say, I ain't never felt more like kinfolk anywhere that didn't have a bail bondsman on speed dial.

Now, the food? *Exquisite*. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo ‘cause it had the most expensive-soundin' name, and buddy, it was like the Lord Himself boiled those noodles. My cousin Bubba Joe said his spaghetti was “real gourmet,” and that’s sayin’ something, ‘cause he usually eats his pasta straight out the can.

Course, not all my kinfolk appreciated the refinement. My Aunt Brenda Sue got kicked out ‘fore the salads even hit the table ‘cause she tried lightin’ a Marlboro right there in the booth. She said, *“I thought this place was Italy! Don’t them Europeans love smokin’?”* The manager did not see her logic.

Then there was my brother Cletus, who took the “All You Can Eat” breadsticks as a *challenge*. After about basket number seven, the waiter started givin’ us the side-eye, but Cletus just kept hollerin’, *“I ain’t full yet, fancy boy!”* I think they were fixin’ to cut us off, but then cousin Raylene started flirtin’ with the busboy and bought us a little more time.

The night took a turn when my Uncle Randy decided to sample the wine list, which we usually don’t mess with unless it’s in a box. He said the house Chianti tasted like “fancy Welch’s grape juice with a kick,” and I’ll be damned if that ain’t the most poetic thing that man’s ever said. He got cut off after his fourth glass and tried tellin’ ‘em he was an *Italian prince* to get more. Didn’t work.

By the end of the night, after a heapin’ pile of pasta, unlimited salad, and just a *tiny* bit of property damage (Randy knocked over a whole display of them glass olive oil bottles while tryin’ to reenact a scene from *The Godfather*), we wobbled on outta there feelin’ like true high society folk. I ain’t never been nowhere that fancy, and I tell ya what, I’m gonna make Olive Garden our new special occasion spot.

*When you're here, you're family,* and I never felt that more than when we all got banned from ever comin’ back.“

“This is the best restaurant in the state of CT! Maria is a wonderful person and welcoming. The bartender Amy is also wonderful she knows you by name and the drink you always order. Great staff and food! If you haven’t been you need to try Ria’s!“

“We love Taverna Grill. The best food around ( especially the French onion soup). The staff and owners are super. We go whenever we are in Bristol.“

“We held my son's communion luncheon here. Great service! Yummy food! We highly recommend and will be sure to use for banquet space again.“

“First time ever dining at Tuscany, but not my last! What a treasure! I had the beast veal Franchise ever! I ate the whole thing! The bread was crusty on the outside and soft inside and the salad was fresh and cold. The service was fantastic—the owners/chef came out to meet us.“

“This pizza 🍕 was delicious“

“Food is amazing! Great somewhere! Great service! Great location!!“

“9 out of 10 times when I go out this is where I go. I go here because they feed me better than my own mother!“

“Gina and Mark are truly wonderful people!“

“MY FAMILY BROUGHT ME TO DINNER FRIDAY 3/29 AND I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE, TIMING OF FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE. I WAS A LITTLE DISSAPPOINTED IN THE SCALLOP ENTREE THAT STATED SEA SCALLOPS AND I RECEIVED 5 QUARTER SIZED SCALLOPS THAT SEEMED THIN FOR SEA SCALLOPS. I WAS A BIT UNDERWHELMED IN PORTION BUT COOKED PERFECT! A VERY NICE EXPERIENCE. WILL RETURN.“

“We had my husband's 90th birthday party on September 14th with 21 people in attendance. The food was great and as usual up to par, service was great and the day was beautiful. We got to see the shotgun tournament that began at 1:00 where all the carts went out to their respective holes. Impressive sight. My only only complaint was we were told another event for 40 people was to begin at 1:00 pm and we could not have the space used for that number of people. On the day of my event, there was no other party and we were not offered the space. Therefore, my family was spaced out and not able to socialize with one another. Small complaint I know but it did make a big difference.“

“Great food perfect place for a family reunion“

“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“

“yes if they only have Pizza and not main course. My Broccoli tastes like it was frozen there was no snap no crunch, I love the pizza the wings everything was good we couldn't eat it I don't know if they were rushing it or what“

“Way too crowded and it feels like a meat market - the more people you get in, the better - service was ok but the noise level is out of control - been there many times and usually enjoy - but they are getting bigger than what they can handle“

“A huge Thanks to Rose and Victoria for making my sister’s retirement dinner so special! Food, drinks, and service was fantastic! Everyone raved about it! You definitely made it a memorable occasion for all of us“

“Tried Five Guys for the first time tonight. The Pizza was excellent! The calzone was delicious, just didn't care for the seasoning on top, but it can be ordered without it. The service and delivery time was excellent and friendly! We will definitely be ordering again!!“

“Excellent Food, great drinks and super friendly staff!“

“Love the ambience and fresh yummy Italians food! Never disappointed ! Everyone is very kind!“
