“Listen I know everybody says this about their local spot. Everybody is like oh my God these are the best wings etc. I'm telling you right now these chicken wings dominate anything I've ever had and I have been to many many places. The crunch, the flavor, the juicy tenderness in the middle. I'm telling you you can't beat these wings. Well hold on we're not done yet that's just the wings you don't even want to know how good the pizza is. As well as the grinders. Top notch food for an unbelievable fair price I would highly recommend this is why I call this my favorite spot. If you haven't tried it yet you better try it because you're missing out. Stop paying overpriced for trash food come here leave with some money for some beer when you get home and have your taste buds tingling and your belly full“

“Been there 3 times and every time the pizza was delicious 😋.“

“We had been looking for a place for lunch or dinner that was local and not a chain. Been driving by it for years and finally checked it out. The decor is a little dated so if classier atmosphere is what you're looking for go elsewhere. If you want well prepared italien food, larger portions, reasonable prices, friendly, efficient waitstaff and in a warm, family familiar setting....you have arrived!“

“We are full-time wedding photographers, and we had the pleasure of photographing a wedding ceremony and reception at Georgina’s on a summer day with a wonderful couple. The space in the back of the restaurant turned out to be larger than expected in person and amazingly well suited for photos both during the wedding itself and after with the couple and their friends and family. We used the ceremony space and the small bridge to make some very cute shots. Moving inside we were able to enjoy a sweet and intimate evening with some fantastic food. Everyone loved it all from what we could see, and the couple was very happy with the wedding and how the photos came out. Our thanks to the considerate and attentive staff, too! We hope to be back in the future to photograph more memorable weddings. Scott Kruitbosch @scottkruitbosch Noella Barone @photosbynoella“

“It Is My opinion that this is the best Italian Food in Connecticut. if you love Italian food you will love this restaurant.“

“📢📢Go to Square Peg Pizza! 🚨🚨 Outdoor patio, bar, arcade, indoor dining, event space, catering, and DRIVE THRU!!! Happy hour EVERY DAY 2-6 (buy two drinks, get a FREE small pizza 2-5p, and other great deals). This was honestly the BEST pizza I have had in a LOOOOONG time. For reference, my usual favorites are Mondo in Middletown and Modern in New Haven. Square Peg is at that level for me now. We ordered 1. Bianco + bacon, 2. Pepperoni, and 3. Spicy Margarita and I’d rank them in that order. Probably wouldn’t order the margarita again, but the other two…. No doubt in my mind that we’ll be back for these. The bottom crust was thin and floppy, but stable and not soggy. The sauce was light, not chunky or overpowering. Perfectly sliced meat for a good char but still tender. The edge crust was super soft and flavorful, good char, nice bubbles, not chewy or cracker-y. 5/5 couldn’t ask for anything better (except a golden canoli).“

“Excellent all around. Great food and atmosphere.“

“We love Nonna’s in our house! We visit weekly since finding out about the specials they post daily here on Facebook. Everyone is so nice and the pizza is always a great as the last time. Definitely has become a staple in our household, especially their Wednesday deal!“

“Took a trip to DiFiore Ravioli shop in Ellington, CT. They make 15 varieties of homemade Ravioli, sauces, oils, amazing desserts, and more. We picked up the TENDERLOIN & BACON ravioli, and the SHRIMP & ROASTED GARLIC ravioli. They were out of the lobster ravioli, but we picked up the homemade Tiramasu. While there we saw they made gourmet sandwiches, which we ordered and ate outside. They were amazing, so big, we could only eat half (pics taken after we started) Great place, staff were fantastic!! Very nice people. We will definitely return!!!“

We will definitely be coming back here.“
