This has been our go-to takeout pizza place for a long time, and we decided to try a meal on site recently. The atmosphere is "old school" and "basic" but the food is amazing! The servings are so large that almost everyone was taking home a big box for later. A hidden gem.

After a decade I finally returned, next time I will not wait as long. This pizza was absolutely delicious. Delicious sauce and cheese just enough on a thin to medium crust that was on the verge of chewy and crunchy. At one point I actually thought the crust might've been even better than the sauce and cheese part, now that's saying something. Lots of dining space here thought you might have a problem when it's crowded. Go before six and beat the crowd. Clean place, decent service and you get what you pay for, that delicious pie!!

Met some friends there as it was between both homes. What a delight, great waitress, Lisa M, and the menu was terrific. Everything we ordered was delicious. Their portions are very generous and the chef does a great job with the sauces. The seafood special was amazing with lobster, shrimp and scallops, the broiled scallops were delicious and came with very nicely cooked vegetables and rice pilaf and the chicken soup was delicious and truly home made. The seafood fradiavlo was great! Will definitely look forward to going back!

I can't believe I've driven past this place so many times and never tried it until now. It's a terrific Italian restaurant with very good food, large portions, and reasonable prices. Service on a busy weeknight was excellent without being overwhelming. Definitely will be returning!

I go here often with family and friends. Friendly, efficient staff. Huge menu but almost always order the JoanieMac pizza- eggplant, garlic, ricotta, mozzarella, tomatoes- thin crust pizza, a rival for New Haven âs more famous pizza parlors. The Brick Oven Signature Salad is fabulous- walnuts, gorgonzola, greens, apples.

Ludal's Italian restaurant has excellent meals and my favorite is their seafood! I have never gotten a meal I did not thoroughly enjoy. From ladies's night to meals with co-workers and friends, every selection I have made from their menu has been excellent. Their variety of appetizers are also delicious! The staff is professional, friendly and helpful ! Looking forward to going back in July!

Awesome food! I had the veal with prosciutto. Amazing. My wife had the risotto seafood...delicious! The meatball and mussels appetizer were great! Our cocktails were made tp perfection (except for the crappy glow in the dark cherries for my Manhattan). My new favorite place. I will go back. A great dining experience.

My husband and I were in CT for our son's graduation and were looking for some good Italian food. The reviews for Bellini's were very good so we gave it a try. Food was excellent and so was the service! Portions were very generous! My husband had shrimp scampi over pasta and there were plenty of shrimp and said it was delish. I had the penne Bolognese which was also very good - personally I added a little salt. My son had a seafood pasta that he loved. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Would def recommend!
