20 Best Italian Restaurants near Groton

“Very good lunch spot! Great tasty sandwich! Cute atmosphere.“

“We had ordered through DoorDash and it was never picked up. Booooo DoorDash. The restaurant called me to let me know the food was there and the Dasher was not. Thankfully my husband was able to go get it. I couldn’t believe it when a few minutes later, one of the people who works there (Sedona) called me back to say she would drop it off if I couldn’t get it! Talk about above and beyond. The food was fantastic. I had the limoncello with chicken. Sooooooo good. Crispy chicken cutlet, but moist and a delicious beurre blanc. My husband got the bistec and loved it as well. We had never tried this place before but will now be frequent flyers (just not with DoorDash!).“

“I'm in town visiting from Philadelphia. In Philly all we have is cheesesteaks and the occasional riot after winning a sports championship. So I wanted to try something different and a little less felonious and while my host was out at work, I walked over to Kinsley House of Pizza. I went to order a tuna sub but they were out of tuna. No big deal, that's not unheard of in the restaurant industry, and I get it. But I also don't eat meat or poultry, and I didn't want to order an entire pizza to myself, so what to do? This is where the gentleman waiting on me went into what I like to call "helpful salesperson mode". And I know what you're thinking--am I buying a car or just trying to order food? No, I'm definitely not buying a car. I want to be clear on that. No cars were harmed during the writing of this post. Not even if it was a car made out of pizza and breadsticks, though that is a pretty cool idea and I think it needs to happen. So anyway, wasn't purchasing a car, and back to the "helpful salesperson" comment--the gentleman behind the counter mentioned that they had "fake chicken" and I could get a fake chicken sub if I wanted. Well I never had a chicken sub let alone one made from fake chicken, so I decided to try that. That was not a good idea, that was a GREAT idea! Absolute banger of a sub, and I can't wait until I'm back in town so I can try the pizza next. ...but a car made out of pizza is also not off the table. Because life is short, and it's important to have goals, especially if they involve pizza.“

“Bill and the staff at C&S make the best BEEF sandwiches hands down no questioning it at all. great presentation of the sandwich and lots of pride is taken in the flavor of the beef. Always made to how you like it. Run don’t walk, because they are so desired that they do sell out every now and then.“

“We just left here had an awesome waitress I ordered the chicken broccoli ziti lui style, my husband got the chicken prosciutto calzone and our kids got baked Mac n cheese and chicken fingers! Everything was delicious! Place is very nice inside and very cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Just came from El Forno. Lunenburg had a pepperoni and pepper pizza. It was by far the best pizza I have ever had since the old days at the European in the northend. Great job Michael and crew always.“

“My fiancé and I stopped in yesterday for pizza and I had to write a review. People can be quick to complain and don’t always say the good. First, the restaurant was very busy while we were there and it was clear they were understaffed. I saw three people working the floor. One out front doing take out, one running the bar and one waiter working the floor. To top it off, there was a birthday party with about a dozen guests. Our waiter was outstanding. Taking orders, making drinks, bussing the tables, he handled the stress unbelievably well and was pleasant and funny. Our food was delicious and came out piping hot. None of them missed a step. We will definitely be back. Kudos to the team and management well done!“

“​I love this place! The food is always really good and the service is excellent. I've been here a few times now, but this is my first time leaving a review. You have to try the chicken Alfredo—it’s easily one of my favorite dishes here!“

“Stopped here after work. Never been. Chicken pesto panini with hots.. OMG it was a revelation! Hands down the best Sandwich I've had in a long time. Got it to go, half of it didn't make it out of my parking spot. They were quick affordable and absolutely outstanding! I will be back!“

“We were looking for meatball subs, and New London most definitely delivered. I went with the small size grinder, and without seeing the large side-by-side, I could not have told you what size I received. Half of my sub made for a good leftover lunch the next day. Other members of our party had a chicken gyro, and a salad with tuna. The combination of Greek and Italian items on the menu allowed for substantial choices for everyone. My only quibble was that I did not find ice water available to have with my meal. All the beverage choices seemed to be bottled from a self-service refrigerator case, and single use bottled water is something I will go out of my way to avoid. New London was a pleasant place to eat - they have ample seating to the side of the counter where customers place their orders.“

“Great Place always fresh and delicious“

“Awesome food great staff!“

“We were celebrating my granddaughter's graduation. We had a quiet table in a semi-private room. Our server was enjoyable, and helped us with group photos.
Food was good and refills of drinks, breadsticks, and soup were timely.“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“Best pizza around, for real. Rated Atmosphere but I’ve only gotten to go and don’t really know. Only complaint is the hours; closing at 7pm during the week and at 6pm on Sundays has certainly missed out on our business a few times because they were closed.“

“Great spot for a post-charge meal! Just a heads up for Tesla owners: it’s located right near the Supercharger, but isn’t easily walkable, so it's best to order ahead and drive over once you're done. The service was incredibly fast (ready before the estimated time). The pizza itself was fantastic. Fresh, thin crust, and quality toppings. Highly recommend for a quick, high-quality bite.“

“Yummy Hawaiian pizza style I’ll buy more soon“

“Absolutely delicious bbq chicken pizza thanks again!!! Will be ordering again in the future“

“Genuinely amazing staff member (possibly owner) was closed at the time when we walked in after a long day and a long ride home still to come. He was enjoying a soccer game on the big screen at end of his day. He generously sent us home with a couple of delicious slices on the house that we happily devoured in the parking lot. Thank you sincerely from a couple of hungry travelers.“
