“Wasn't sure about this place when we pulled in to the parking lot but so glad we gave it a try . I ordered the Zuppa di pesce ( one of my favorite hard to find meals ) absolutely everything I was hoping it would be and more . Very extensive menu if you can't find something here to tickle your taste buds maybe your not human . The service was awesome. The restaurant itself ain't very fancy but a steady flow of traffic of people picking up and calling in for orders . They are definitely doing something right . Me and the wife was in from out of town for a funeral. And we was very satisfied with our meals and service . So if your in the area this place is definitely worth the stop .“
“I had it delivered but the delivery guy was so amazingly sweet and the pizza delicious . I’ve lived in Woodbury over 10 years and complain there are no good pizza places first time trying , now I’m wrong !! So good !Vegetarian options: Yum“
“Our chicken dish was described on the menu as being atop pasta. What we received was just chicken on a plate. I feel like every time we try to eat here there's an event going on. They should close the restaurant portion of their business during events so paying customers don't get neglected.“
“Do t know why the stars are low in this. Husband had meat rav I had chicken Marsala good bread for dessert husband had the special berry cake and j had chocolate mouse cake both very good. Waitress was good as well. The only thing that wasn't so good was the iced tea maybe it was old but yea that's was it“
“Food price / quality (value) rating 8. My second visit here was not quite as good as my first. I had the grilled pork chops with sauteed onions. It's very good that fresh rolls and a salad are included with the entree. The chops themselves were poorly trimmed. There was a choice for a side dish and I chose "roasted vegetables". I was served some slices of squash only, which is the ultimate least amount of effort and expense any restaurant can serve a customer. Service was good, but not great. Overall, the experience was good.“
“It was our first time here, and the experience was great. We had dinner on a Sunday, and it wasn't really super busy, in my opinion. Yes, the restaurant was almost full, but it really wasn't loud or squished in like others have mentioned with the seating situation. Our waitress brought out bruschetta to start, and it was great, we ordered their calamari dish, which was quite large, and they brought complimentary mussels to go with that dish. We got our main dishes and of course by that time you were quite full but we ate what we could and wrapped it up. Our reservation was for 7 pm, we left around 10pm. You are fed the entire time, so honestly it doesn't feel like your waiting for your entrees hungry. I will be trying their new location once they move to see if things change.“
“Absolutely love this place! Been going frequently for a while and then we had them cater at work for an Open House Event and it was a smashing hit! Everyone loved the pies, meatballs and wings! Love this place and management is very wonderful especially with how large and hectic our order was for work! Can't thank this team enough!“
“Buffet style office Christmas party. 2023 was our 4 time hosting the event at Verdi's. Plenty of well lit parking. Staff was great. The food; chicken marsala, sirloin, vegetable medley, salmon and salad was okay. Not great and not bad.“
“Wonderful real homemade chicken parm grinder, no "patty" here. The pizza is delectable, especially with toppings. I order a large chef salad often; salad is always fresh and olives are great as is the homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The turkey and cheese are very fresh also.The service is great, friendly in a small cozy atmosphere. Pat Winn“
“My family and I walked into paesanos pasta house and I ordered an medium pizza which was ready in only 15 minutes but what impressed me was I also ordered a 2nd pizza an extra large for my mother and I was able to watch the cook make the pizza by handstand the whole order both pizzas were ready to go in about 40 minutes or less highly recommend to try their pizzas. A+++“
“Finally got to enjoy Roma tonight. Lots of great choices. Veal parmigiana was about as good as it gets. Escarole, beans and sausage, long hot peppers in a marinara sauce, and a huge meatball for our appetizers were all amazing. Must plan ahead as reservations are the only way to get in on a Friday or Saturday night. Understandable given the high quality of their food and service.“
“We called for take out to Puglia, we weren't in the mood for pizza so we decided on dinners. What a fantastic choice. My wife got chicken français and I chose linguini and shrimp with a scampi sauce. Both our dinner came with a generous salad and homemade bread. What a great addition to Southbury! The wood fired oven and pizzas looked amazing as well. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.“
“We had lunch there today with another couple for the first time.We did not like the previous restaurant at this location but this was surprisingly different.The place was completely redecorated and the food and service was excellent.Our server Katy gave us all the time we requested to catch up with our friends whom we had not seen in quite awhile.We will definitely return for dinner soon.We felt as though we were dining in the city which we often do when attending a show.We will be back.Great job.“
“I got take out and while I was in the restaurant waiting the staff appeared to be doing a great job waiting on tables, and the place looked really nice. My takeout order took a reasonable amount of time and was really good. I was working at the railway museum and ordering takeout from here works really well because I can get food fairly quickly between trains.“
“Me and my individual went there last night. We each got our own pizza. Broccoli & chicken pizza, pepperoni pizza. Both were very delicious especially with that crunchy crust not too crunchy but just perfect. The family there was very nice, helpful and funny. All and All definitely will be returning for more pizza.“
“I forgot to mention on my last review that we always get a vegan pizza to go with our dinners. It is really great crispy pizza with vegetables on top but no cheese. I'm sure all the other pizzas are equally delicious. Lasts for days in the fridge and can be reheated in oven- not microwave because that makes the crust mushy! Really good place!“
“After walking around on a cold, windy day hot, delicious pizza was perfect! We live supporting small businesses, and this family-owned place fit the bill. You can tell a lot of care and pride go into the preparation of the food. The tables were clean and well cared for, too, which is always appreciated. Great service and prompt delivery of the food. The pizza is delicious! Love the sauce and every part of the pizza was flavorful and piping hot when we got it. Keep up the great work, we will be back!“
“Awesome food and great craft beer list. Very knowledgeable staff about craft beers and wine. Great food and and a great value. Very cute, friendly waitreses. Truly great beer selection, not just the usual 5 different hazy NE IPA most places put up as their craft beer. There was 1 Belgian, 2 Germans, a bourbon barrel aged beer, as well as few Excellent Local beers. Do yourself a flavor, go for the beer and stay for the delicious food.Highly recommended!“
“Pizza ? is old school. Absolutely delicious. Simple place emphasis on quality. Not doughy perfectly cooked. Not burnt but done. One minute either way would have been a different pie. Perfect. Delicious from the first bite Easy to eat , cheese does not fall in your lap but there is plenty of sauce cheese and any topping you choose. Stiff enough to pick up and eat without it flopping in your lap. Really enjoyed the pie. From the outside it looks small. Once you enter it opens up into a large area that can seat a lot of customers. Highly recommend. Real nice suprise. It’s a pizza joint.“
“Our first time to Aldo’s was last night and it was fantastic! Beautifully decorated, it was warm and festive. Everyone there was friendly. We had the Brussels Sprouts, Pork Chop and Braised Short Ribs (special) as well as cocktails. Everything was delicious! Portions were great and they were very attentive when I asked about my meal being gluten free. We will definitely make this a regular stop!“
“Incredible food and service. We have called ahead and used them for several large family parties. The food is hot and delicious. The service is impeccable. I would highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant. You’ll be very surprised, The ingredients are delicious and of high-quality.“
“Not only was the 2 sandwiches I had the meatball then my kid took it so I got a buffalo chicken sandwich and omfg again amazing. I about to get that cute girls number so I can eat there every dayVegetarian options: U can pick what goes on ur subParking: It's nice“
“I recently attended a private party there. The staff was extremely accommodating to my gluten intolerance issues and made me a separate gluten free meal which was very tasty and included gluten free bread and ice cream for dessert. I highly recommend them.“
“I was very excited to move to a town that had a pasta shop and this place did not disappoint. Nice variety of pasta, and other things. We purchased their prosciutto and fontina cheese raviolis and they were delicious. The staff was very nice and friendly, story was clean. Will be shopping here more for sure.“
“We have been coming here for years now as our favorite date night out restaurant and were a little worried when we learned of a new chef. What a spectacular meal! A refreshing take on some of our favorites. Omar, our server was incredibly attentive and didn’t rush our night out, which with two littles at home was appreciated. Everything from the drinks, appetizers, main course, and dessert was top notch.“
“So Google says I came here a week ago, but that's not true. It's been almost 2 years i last Came here with my husband, who's sinced passed away we used to go here all the time and the food service, an atmosphere was always great. The meatball Grinder was his favorite.“
“I just had surgery and Tom the owner just deliver my pizza. Through my ring camera he offered to bring pizza inside and put on counter for me. With my permission he did just that. I’m a grateful for not only a great meal every time we order from Martino’s but the excellent service. Tom exceeds customer expectations and so does his staff. Thank you again for the kind gesture…“
“I haven't had pizza like this since Sally's Apizza! The sauce is definitely homemade, the crust is perfectly thin, and the cheese is so delicious!!! Their prices are great, and the service is so friendly. they make you feel like you are family.“
“The food is absolutely amazing and so is the staff. They did the catering for our engagement party and it food was amazing. Ordering the food was a breeze. It was the only stress free process about planning the party and having zero doubts that the food order would be perfect. Weather ordering for a large party or just getting take out, you will never be disappointed.“
“Middlebury pizza is just that good ole family owned restaurant that works carefully on the details of the dishes they create, while always managing to stick to the basics perfect them.Whoever made my chicken parmigiana wrap deserves an award because it was one of the best I’ve ever eaten! Food is excellent every damn time and they’re effortlessly consistent!“
“Food price / quality (value) rating 9.5. this place uses high quality ingredients and everything is cooked properly. Their Pizza is a Greek style pan pizza with a wonderfully thin crisp crust. I've gotten probably 30 pizzas here in the last 18 months and they've all been perfect! High quality cheeses and meats and generous toppings are always the norm. This is the only pizza I've been eating lately. I would recommend the meatball and hot pepper Pizza or the sausage and hot pepper pizza and always get a large. Easy access from exit 10 off i-84 in Newtown.“
“Was looking for a place open on a Monday. Popped in for a late lunch. Was very happy with the peppered pork loin panini. So tender and flavorful. Staff checked in on us and the place was very clean and inviting. I'd recommend trying it out“
“"My recent visit to the Brookside Inn Restaurant was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were happy to answer my questions and make recommendations.Now, let's talk about the food! The fresh shucked lightly fried whole belly clams were truly outstanding. The batter was light and crispy, allowing the natural sweetness of the clams to shine through. Each bite was a perfect combination of textures and flavors. The veal scallopini was equally impressive. The veal was cooked to tender perfection and the accompanying sauce was rich and flavorful. It was a dish that truly satisfied my taste buds.Overall, my experience at the Brookside Inn Restaurant was truly exceptional. The combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere makes it a place I highly recommend. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, look no further than the Brookside Inn!"“
“Good place. Changed my opinion of the franchise. Had a poor experience with the Southbury location, but this one was great. The two employees were extremely friendly and helpful. I explained I had no idea what I wanted, and had only had a so-so experience the one time I had been to a Nardelli's before. The guy making the sandwich was incredibly helpful in helping me narrow down what I wanted. Both employees were very friendly and talkative.The sandwich was good, the store was clean, the bathroom was clean and had nice decorations.I wish I had gotten their names, I would absolutely name them. Both are stellar and probably deserve raises. They probably know who they are.Bonus: Now I also know where to get Herr's Jalapeno Popper Cheese puffs. Damn those things are good.They tell me the Southbury location is owned by the same guy. I'm guessing the experience I had there was a one off, and I'll reconsider visiting that location again too.Be Excellent to Each Other, and thanks for a good sandwich!“
“Love the pizza, it's all we order from here but will definitely be trying other things. Extra cheese is extra cheese for real lol not like other places that say extra but you get nothing different than what you always get. If ur in the area give them a try. My only got to for pizza ?“
“Went out to dinner here on Friday night. The parking lot was packed. And I know why. This is an old style Italian restaurant. Not fancy but absolutely delicious. I had chicken cacciatore. My wife had a bowl of pasta. My friends had the seafood dishes.the seafood dishes were outstanding. The owner came to our table. They were very friendly. Prices were reasonable, not inexpensive, but not extravagant either. I will definitely come back.“
“We stopped here for a quick late lunch. Onion soup was very good. The restaurant is very clean, and decorated very nice. It made me feel as though I was in PA in Amish country! I ordered a wonderful, delicious salad as I am gluten-free. Very satisfying. My daughter ordered the Reuben. I would eat here again if I was in the area.“
“Our waiter Noah , a very nice young man gave great service, polite, helpful ....responded quickly . Our food came out in good timing and was very good... I recommend the lamb chop lollipops man's truffle fries. We live in Southbury and come often.“
“So despite the name, Big Daddys does have eat-in service, and also appears to be part of a gas station? The location is a bit off the beaten path, but plenty of parking. I found a certificate on Restaurants.com for the pizzeria, and it was a good deal. Lunch and dinner at a discount! The burgers were pretty large, as were the fries if you ordered them as a side. The pizza had more of a tomato-acidy sauce than sweet, but a good amount of cheese. You could order by the slice inside. There is also ice cream, onion rings in the hot food area, and baked goods wrapped for desserts. There's both Coke and Pepsi in the coolers, and chips behind the window side booths. They also have a bar area and sell on Slice! Big Daddys also does local delivery on certain days in the evening. Goodness, there's a lot going on. Plus, a good flow of pick up orders. The gentlemen at the register seemed to have a good handle on things though.“
