“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.“

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

“new menu from Ballo is good. went with skirt steak and it was really good. the potatoes were good as well. tried the olive oil cake for dessert sort of blah. Will was our server--- best part of the night! great service and even been personality !!!“

“We have eaten here many times and have always had a great meal.

The waterfall is iconic and makes your meal more romantic.
This place has a great vibe and a well curated menu.
The food is amazing although some items can be a little pricey.
The service is on point and the meal is well spaced out and not rushed.
If you are at Mohegan and looking for a nice meal, Tuscany is a great choice.“

“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.“

“Nate and Barbara were awesome and made sure we were welcomed and happy! Food was perfection and updated atmosphere is very cool!!“

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

“Ask for their homemade limoncello!! The pesto with the burrata is amazing too! Can’t wait to go back.“

“We would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to Mike and Sara for hosting our Work party. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you again for working with us as we had a few dietary restrictions in the group. Everyone had a great time. We look forward to coming back.“

“Ate here a few days ago! Everything was excellent! The Pomodoro Caprese Salad was good and the Veal Parmesan was excellent! Would definitely order it again! Raspberry Sorbet was amazing!!!! Staff is very friendly and wonderful! Definitely will eat here again! Great first time experience! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I’m not one to go to Italian restaurants because my expectations are elevated and I’m usually disappointed, but this one is truly my first chef’s kiss! 👨‍🍳💋 If you go, be prepared… it’s a little pricy, but I’ve no issues with paying for an exemplary meal. -Veronica makes both red & white sangrias and they are the BEST in SE Ct!! -every dish, and I mean every.single.plate is made by one chef, Carmine (not a team of kitchen staff) so you’ll be waiting a bit, but I promise, it’s worth the wait. -the menu is authentic Italian cuisine. We tried the octopus salad, spaghetti carbonara, chicken marsala, penne boscaiola, and Sam had penne & meatballs. All of these dishes were fresh and clean tasting and full of flavor. You can honestly taste the love. We all felt as if we were in their home. -get the tiramisu! With the first bite, you can tell it’s homemade and literally, it’s phenomenal! Veronica & Carmine are a beautiful, talented couple from a tiny island off Sicily. They both worked in restaurants in New Haven and brought their culinary expertise to Groton. I don’t do restaurant shout outs often, but this one deserves all the business!! Get the word out and go! ❤️“

“I made a discovery at The Recovery Room !!! A masterpiece !!!“

“the best italian grinder in SE CT“

“Delicious dinner tonight from the entrees to dessert! Service was wonderful. Definitely recommend!“

“If you're looking for delightfully authentic Italian food with friendly, efficient service, all wrapped in a wonderful throwback atmosphere surrounded with great period music from the '50s and early '60s....the run, don't walk to Tony D's. You will NOT be disappointed.“

“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.“

“I got takeout so I can't much speak to service or atmosphere.
The place was clean.
The person who took my order and the person who checked me out where both polite and efficient.
My natural bridge without olives was an excellent choice and an excellent sandwich.
Packed with flavor this half flatbread sandwich really hit the spot with a creative combination of flavors on perfectly tasty flat bread.“

“Highly recommend!! Best Italian food around! Waitstaff is amazing as well, which makes for an even better dining experience! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Delicious food with the best staff!!“

“Ordered online for this one. Pizza was fantastic. So happy that they offer vegan cheese and a vegan sausage. We ended up choosing those toppings as well as hot peppers. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for having vegan options, we will 1000% be getting pizza here again(definitely as a dine in next time) 🍕🌱💕✨“

“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!“

“This is a hidden gem! We're back in Connecticut after many years and were looking for some authentic regional pizza and came upon Asylum Street Pizza. We were greeted immediately and the staff had definitive answers to our questions. We asked for a recommendation and were served with a straight-from-the-oven delicious "the works" pizza. When we're back in the area again, we will definitely stop by for another pizza. Don't miss this one!“

“We had a two delicious meals. The duck was crisp and not fatty. I had the special with roasted potatoes and spiraled veggies with a delicious sauce. My husband thought his paella was very good. This new restaurant’s staff and owners try very hard to please their customers. We will definitely be 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!“

“Was legitimately rushed out last time I was there order was wrong but was not about to tell the waitress she asked us half way threw our meal if we wanted boxes and before we could answer she said I'll get u boxes and brought them and out them on the table I still did tip but was not a pleasant experience also didn't get alot of pasta was more meat the wrong meat I orderd but food was still amazing“

“I have eaten at most of the restaurants in Southeastern CT, and have found that LA LUNA RISTORANTE & LOUNGE in New London is head and shoulders above the rest! The menus is diverse, and food and drinks are always good and presented professionally. The dining atmosphere is pleasant with table cloths, and low lighting on each table. Plus they have live music on most Fridays from 6-9 pm. Try them out...you won't be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this spot because it had such a nice neighborhood feel to it. The menu has a great mix of classic comfort foods, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well everything was prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, so I never felt like I was waiting too long for a drink refill or my food. It is the perfect kind of place to grab a reliable meal when you just want something tasty without any fuss.“

“We had a great experience eating here last night! The food was excellent and the service was exceptional! Would highly recommend their pizza and garlic knots!!!“

“$20 SHEET PIZZAS. Can't beat it. Yummy desserts. Tiramisu is especially yummy. They have carrot cake, cheese cake, canolis, grinders, and pizza. Not sure if they have dinner plates like lasagna. I called in my sheet pizza and grabbed some tiramisu while paying“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“Delicious brick oven pizza, crispy crust, fresh toppings, great service! Love the environment, all of their menu is great.“

“love their subs. also always very friendly“

“Food is great and have ordered many times but their delivery driver driving blue Honda civic has almost rear ended me twice…. Once about a month ago after I just picked food up from them almost hit me in my Honda and again today I hate to have to leave this review but is really unsafe and has been inch from hitting me twice…“

“My husband ordered a meatball calzone. It was definitely enough for two people. He said it was really good, took half of it home with extra sauce as well. I had the Valentino's salad. It was loaded with chicken, candied walnuts, raisins. I added feta cheese to mine. The balsamic dressing is awesome!“
