Comella's Restaurants West Newton

Whenever I don't feel like cooking, I love coming to Comella's to grab a quick, easy, and delicious dinner. It has affordable prices, good food, and great staff - shoutout to Sydney who was very friendly and helpful when I came in!

Comella's is always a hit! This is my family, and I's go to catering spot. It's always been a smooth process, arrives or ready for pick-up on time, and the food is always delicious. Every staff member I've dealt with has been extremely helpful and nice. Highly recommend!

Delicious high quality pizza & friendly workers!

This location needs to be shut down. Just awful! Other locations are OK. Avoid this location.

an ill-mannered and impudent guy who works at the cash register. Let the manager teach such people how to communicate with customers, if the manager himself understands this

Wow… at first I thought I went at an off-night but I see a handful of other negative reviews all with this message: Comellas isn’t what it used to be. Ten years ago, it was a treat to get a tray of “Grandpas mess”. Tonight? Tasted like Stouffers frozen dinner. And mine was COLD. Like it had been sitting around in their fridge and they just threw it in my bag. Read all the other bad reviews … what’s happened to an old Newton favorite?

I use to love the chick parm sandwhich pre covid; today got the same thing and just me it was putrid, but your mileage may vary. also ambience sucks; the dining space dominated by the noise of all the cold displays of prepared food

Horrible. The chicken is disgustingly overpriced. I got a simple chicken tender with fries and buffalo wings. Both were not worth the 34.22 in total I spent. The fries I literally only had like 10. Small portions and very cheap food. Worst than school lunch I expected more. It’s new so hopefully the food becomes better quality.

Man, how far Comella's has fallen. This place used to be a mainstay of Newton, but now it's mediocre. I ordered an Italian sandwich, and what I got was just a ham & cheese- over half the ingredients that were listed on the menu were just missing. Still full price though.

The person who took the order over the phone seemed very confused about both the contents of the order, and also that someone was calling to place an order. Like they were stoned.

Find somewhere else to get Italian takeout, because this aint it anymore.

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.
