Comella's Restaurants West Newton

Failed on at least two levels, possibly three: Meatballs were actually breadballs
Meatballs had no flavor, sauce bitter
If you're opening an Italian restaurant don't carry anything but Italian imported colcuts
As is, not a go back!

Comellas needs to remember it's roots. I've eaten at various locations over the years. Mostly Concord and it was a go to eatery up until this experience.

Comella should know that many families in this area are Italian or have eaten good homemade Italian food. They will immediately identify if the food is passable and should operate on that level.

I hope you take this crit seriously and start making authentic Italian food that satisfies the palet. I'm confident opening a new location was very costly and you were forced to cut corners. Once the dust settles,, consider hiring a Chef, not a cook, to oversee quality control at all locations maintaining a high standard.

Moving forward remember "abbondanza" is an all inclusive term meaning good portions of quality food at an affordable price. You have the customers at the ready to pay a good price for quality food. Make it for them as though it was for your family!

I understand if you don't want me to ever come back!

in comparison to other places- good value for the amount of food you get.
i got the lasagne, caesar salad, and 1/2 loaf of garlic bread.
all soooooo delicious, exactly what i needed. left me feeling how italian food should make you feel- happy, warm, beautiful, glowing, and full.

Had high hopes for the new location in Newtonville, but so far it’s been very average. If you’re going to charge extra for avocados make sure they are ripe enough to consume them when you add them to your salads. Chicken is dry. Kitchen pay attention to what you are serving.
Service is fine. Atmosphere is fine as well.

This review is not about the food, it has always been good. This is for not updating your West Newton address and having it as still being located on Washington St. Someone needs to update the address or mark this location as closed!

This used to be a solid place to get a pretty good pizza and a great value. Over the last year or more it’s become a dirty, unreliable place with service that does not exactly inspire confidence. It’s amazing that the people who work there allow some of the food out of the building in the condition that it’s in. What’s sad is ownership doesn’t seem to be doing anything to improve the situation. Clearly, the reviews have spoken and they seem to not be making changes to turn this place around. I was hoping with the new location they would have a brand new store to work from, and hire different staff but that’s been delayed. I hate to say it, but we avoid this place now which is too bad because it didn’t used to be that way.

For almost $50/tray of 1/2 buckets, 75% of each tray was plain pasta, not even tossed in sauce. None of the 3 trays I purchased had nearly enough sauce. Veal was overcooked and tough. Honestly, pasta and jar sauce from the supermarket would've been better. Definitely not worth the almost $200 for $40 of ingredients, and poor execution.

what happened to this place? This was the worst pizza I’ve had in long time. tasted like undercooked dough with tomatoe puree right out of the can, no flavor, under cooked onions and broccoli! a mess, tossed it in the trash. But at least they got the order right this time. Not the case the last three times. This used to be a great place! Not any more..

No where to park

Walked in, ordered sausage sub and eggplant parm sub for our dinner. Waited a reasonable amount of time, took the sandwiches home. While the tomato sauce is still good, the sandwiches were barely lukewarm and one of the rolls was stale on one end. OK, stuff happens. That evening I called to comment and left a message. No response. Used to be a reliable place to get well-made sandwiches and pasta--disappointing that it has gone downhill.

Ordered a simple pepperoni pizza. Very disappointing for the cost. It was covered in grease, and cust like cardboard. Waste of money. Staff unfriendly. Wish we went to McDonald's instead.

Comella's in West Newton use to be SO good. It's God awful. I am so disappointed every time I go there. Today, I ordered the lasagna and ziti for $14. I got a 1 in x 1 in square of lasagna and it was burnt on two sides! I can't believe I was served something like this! Lately when you order the pizza it's too doughy and they hardly put any cheese on the pizza. When I order the cop salad they never cook the bacon even when you asked for them to cook the bacon. They still don't cook the bacon.

I ordered Sicilian pizza paid go to restaurant nd no food kid said he didn't realize my order for entire hour and they out of dough he gave manager number Harry and I called he said he wasn't Manger and hung up now me and my elderly disabled parents don't have dinner and also got charged 22 dollars and waisted time and gas driving there

My girlfriend has a small appetite and past three times going there she would only wanting to order small slice of lasagna with no ZitiShe has been charged under 9 bucks past 2 months I just went to order her slice and the girl said she would still have to charge full amount $13 plusU gotta be consistent in any business but she just didn't get it

Very disappointing. Extremely undercooked pasta, bland sauce, no vegetables available, cold food. Amazed this Italian place exists in the Boston area.
