I've been to the New Haven, Fairfield, Mohegan Sun and Yonkers locations. This place was just as good. Huge fan and glad there are two in the Hartford area. We had a shrimp and garlic oil pizza and sausage and pepperoni. Party of 6 and we all loved it.

Food and service were great. Price of food is a great value. I would recommend this place. Myself and another person had the Diver Scallops w/fried rice & shrimp. Scallops ere cooked perfectly and rice was a nice and tasty addition.

The Newington Pizza Restaurant has the best eggplant parmesan grinders. The eggplant is breaded, and served with delicious peppers, cheese, and marinara sauce. I prefer to get it without the cheese because I love the taste of the eggplant. I live over in England. They do not have food like this. I will be craving this when I get home. You can eat in or take away. They have booths and tables to sit at. They also have a vintage old fashioned counter that takes you back to a simpler time. The customer service is excellent, food is magnificent, check out Newington Pizza Restaurant.

Went here for dinner. We were in the mood for Italian and people in the office suggested Carboneâs.We drove through Hartford to get there and were able to find a place on the street to park. It looks as though they do have a parking lot, but am not sure if it is complimentary or not.We walked in and even though we did not have reservations we were seated immediately. This is a white table cloth kind of place and some of the prices do reflect that.The service was constant, friendly and helpful without being overbearing. It is an Italian restaurant so they are numerous Italian dishes and a lot of tough choices to make. After reviewing the menu I narrowed my choices down to 3. After speaking with our server I eliminated 1 and finally decided on the Rigatoni Bolognese. It is beef, pork, tomato-cream ragu, homemade ricotta and arugula.Before dinner came they did deliver a basket of bread with a house made oil.Our entrees arrived a short while later. There was an adequate portion of pasta and a very large dollop of the homemade ricotta, and in my opinion too much arugula.I mixed about half of the ricotta mixture in to the pasta and ragu mixture. My work associate gladly took the other half.The mixing in of the ricotta gave the dish a little more creamy texture. Overall a very good dinner.

Had a lovely summer lunch. Staff was friendly and helpful. Zucchini blossoms were a fantastic summer treat. Special salad with arugula, watermelon, cheese was delicious. Seafood pasta looked beautiful and was enthusiastically enjoyed. Cod fish very fresh with beans and escarole... so good! Bread... well in a special class by itself. Excellent! Alana the server did a great job! Iâm sure a West Hartford fav... and deserves that spot!

This restaurant has been a staple in West Hartford for at least a couple of decades now. Maybe the run has been long enough. Our last two visits, last fall and again this past March, were disappointing. The atmosphere was hectic, the waitstaff harried, the food served as if the kitchen crew was throwing it onto the plates. The prices for long-standing dishes keep increasingâmore so than in other restaurants right on the same streetâat least in our experience. And the quality of those dishes just doesnât seem to be at the level it once was. We were not seated until nearly 25 minutes past our reservation time. No one even apologized for the delay. Hostess staff were aloof and cool in receiving guests (we had plenty of time to watch them as we waited for our reserved table). All in all, our dining experience was less than enjoyable, and our food not worth the price or the wait. We donât expect to head back again anytime soon.

We've been getting our pizza from Joey Garlic's or Yanni's for the last few years but decided to try something new last weekend. We ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza and were thrilled with the decision. The crust was perfectly crunchy. The lightly breaded chicken chunks were plentiful and tasty, and the cheese and hot sauce was just right. We are moving Elm Hill up to our go-to for pizza here in town.

Four us us arrived at about 4:00 for Happy Hour. When we seated outdoors, the waitress brought dinner menus. We asked for and received happy hour menus. The selections were such that to satisfy your appetite, you needed to order two. The calimari was especially delicious as were the sliders. The drinks were good as was the service. Before departing, we took a look inside the old building an met the owner who was an very interesting and informative person. All in all, we will be going there in the future. Old Wethersfield is a beautiful area in Connecticut and worth a visit just to see the homes.

Yannis Pizza Restaurant offers take out food and sit down service. The portions you are served are incredibly large. Before you get your meal you get a delicious bread basket with several different kinds of warm bread (if you are dining in). The eggplant parm grinder is delicious, even the half was more than I could finish.

We recently went to Joey garlics and had a really good dinner. Itâs not my choice for authentic Italian they do have better than average Italian food. The service was good there were seats available we didnât have to wait in the handicap access was excellent. A young woman was saving two seats at the bar for friends, which really is nonsense. Bartenders didnât want to interject.Thank you so much for visiting! I couldn't be happier to hear you enjoyed your dinner with us! I'm sorry if your experience was anything less than perfect in the bar area. Our bar is self-seating, and I apologize if that put a damper on your visit. I hope we will get another chance to welcome you back for another delicious meal!
