Both the pizzas were good, nice crunchy crust (not very doughy) and a very generous topping. The veggie pizza had a red sauce base and shrimp pizza had a white sauce base. Both the pizzas had generous toppings and was cheesy enough. Worth the price you pay for it and tastes good as well. I am curious to try some of the other dishes from their menu and will be coming back here for sure.

First weird aspect was an Italian restaurant playing pop music from India. Wasnt bad, was uptempo, but made me wonder if I was in an Italian restaurant. Temp in the place was kept too low, but we just sat in a corner far from the door and went for it. Chicken and rice soup was a disaster. Not sure if it was just this batch or... maybe it's just a flop. Tasted... off. Lasagna came in a cast iron round pan. How do you stack big rectangular lasagna noodles in a round pan? You cant. Im used to lasagna coming out in a big square, with stacks of noodle and cheese or whatever. This was just a gloopy mess with cheese on top. Sauce was decent anyway. Next was a baked ziti with sausage. El dente wasnt in the mix, ziti was boiled too far, sausage was thin sliced but alright, once again their sauce was doable in an Olive Garden kinda way. Waitstaff was efficient and friendly, their job made easier since we were the only people there at 5pm. Try again guys. I'll be back for a five star pizza.

They were very meaty, and the medium buffalo sauce coating them was definitely on point, along with the blue cheese dressing served on the side We also ordered a large Jim's special pizza, which consisted of hamburger, sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, which was thick like a Greek style This was a large enough pie to feed five of us with two pieces to bring home. Nice job Jim's. The pie was $23 for the special, and I think it was $13 for the buffalo wings. We tipped generously because we stayed there a little bit overtime, speaking with our friend that we took from the convalescent home for a few hours I look forward to coming back here. It's definitely worth multiple visits.

The turkey club I ordered was different, but also excellent. Different in the sense that it was served on thinly sliced and toasted Italian bread. It was also Dagwood-sized, and my pearly whites had a difficult time fitting it in my biggggg mouth (as Ralph Kramden would say). Turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon all in abundance. Came w French fries and some pickle medallions. Very tasty and reasonably priced. One more thing about Jim's. In business since 1966, and does a lot for the community. As one example, a few years ago, Jim's donated an enormous amount of food at a benefit to help a cancer survivor pay medical and other bills. Kudos to them always! 4 and 1/2 stars

I ordered a hotdog special (w/ fries and cole slaw) & my friend ordered a salad plate with NO olives (allergy). I saw the waitress write down "NO OLIVES" on the order. Our order was placed at 11:45am. At 12:15, I got up to find a staff member to ask if someone could check on our order. (Four customers had come in after us and were served/eating.) I was assured by a tall male that he saw the food "being made" and it would be right out. I seated myself and waited an additional 13 minutes for our food. Our plates were delivered by the same tall male. The salad plate had OLIVES on it and the hotdog was lukewarm with room-temperature/cold fries. We pointed out the OLIVES and the male asked, "Do you want me to take it back?" (UMMMM - YES - CROSS CONTAMINATION!) The waitresses came over and were EXTREMELY APOLOGETIC and didn't know what else to say. Eventually, a replacement salad was delivered. It should not take 45+ minutes to get a simple hotdog "special". The other meal didn't even require cooking - it was mounds of tuna, macaroni and chicken salad on pita bread. Neither one of us finished our meals because at that point, we had lost our appetites. WHAT a WASTE of our time, money and drive to Marlborough from Hartford. We will not be returning! (yes, we tipped the waitress well because it was not her fault!)

The owner is so nice & took our order. My husband & I both opted for the chicken shawarma sandwich (his spicy & mine regular). A pita with chicken, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato & red onion. He said the spicy one wasn't too spicy. We also got 1 side added - his a chicken noodle soup (a bit too salty), and I had French fries - nothing special (& ketchup bottle pretty empty with no other bottles around to use). We needed a knife & fork for the sandwiches, and since no one was around, I found some for us to use. So - food was ok, owner was terrific, but when he was away, no one was around to help.

Good Lebanese, not great pizza, pricy…read more Came here before the buyout. Was okay pizza, nothing special. When they got bought out, had to give them another try. The staff were busy. Lots of to go orders, lots of business. The cashier was kind, but rushed. I got their tabbouleh salad and a small chicken Schwarma pizza. Food came out quickly, so no qualms with speed. What I do have qualms with is the pizza and the salad. The tabbouleh salad was good flavor wise, but very overdressed. Was soggy in vinegar, which was overpowering. The pizza was soggy as well, undercooked and floppy. The topping were too heavy and made everything undercooked. The chicken was spiced well though, and it was clear that it was decently prepared chicken. It just wasn't a good pizza. Stick with the Lebanese side of the menu, and you should be okay. Too much fusion confusion currently

They do a coat check and the bar area and sitting nearby is super trendy appearing with couches and well lit social gathering spots right near the front of the restaurant. They also have quieter areas on the side and back where we sat that is more peaceful if you want. The food was very good. A few things were slightly off which is why I dropped this to a 4 rather than a 5. The ricotta and honey app was solid but the bread was a bit too charred and the bang for buck on the order was a bit low for what you get. Conversely, the special zucchini flower with zucchini spaghetti was out of this world good. It was sad that you only get 1 flower in the order as it is not really able to be shared, but it is worth the taste if they have it on the menu the night you go. The main dishes were very good. The pasta tasted fresh as if homemade though both the penne and lasagne sheets were a tad thick for our tastes. However the taste was on point and I have to say that was one of the better lasagne's I've tasted in some time. The flatbread pizza was probably the biggest hit for the table. Good balance of sweet, tart and protein with the peppery arugula giving a nice touch of freshness to the dish. It is big too, plenty enough as a meal for 1 or to share between 2 if getting apps and other things. The nice thing is no issues of greasiness or feeling bloated when we finished and left. The food was filing and very tasty and this is worth a trip back. I do think the wine is a bit on the pricey end compared to many places I've seen around lately. The desert menu looked like it would be a hit for us, but we had no room after our meals. Even the kids enjoyed the food quite a bit though we did have some ala vodka left over at the end.

I'm back after a long hiatus (a year?!). The restaurant is located on 45 East Center St. in…read moreManchester, CT. It looks like there is a brand new, very expanded Happy Hour menu. The restaurant is owned by UCONN Women's Basketball Coach, Geno Auriemma (he also owns The Hollow restaurant at the Manchester Country Club). The bartender quickly brings over a glass of ice water (which I will kindly refuse). For my first drink, I'm having a Manhattan. This is made with rye whiskey (Four Roses) sweet vermouth, a couple dashes of Angostura bitters and garnished with a brandied cherry. Wow! This is good! It's chilled, perfectly balanced and well garnished. I like the use of the single, large ice cube to slow the dilution process. These used to be served martini style about a year ago. It is no longer. It seems I am by my lonesome except for a few tables. It's early and on a Monday. For my first appetizer, I am getting the green olives and cheese cubes. This is grana! Grana (in the context of Italian cuisine) refers to a family of hard, mature, granular cheeses primarily used for grating. Bourbon goes well with this! Italian food can be a high cholesterol fest, but I'll try and minimize it. I do like the peaceful ("elevator") music in here! It is very relaxing. For my first item, I'm having the Baby Iceberg. This is pretty! I like that they give you extra dressing on the side! I love this light ranch dressing! Next up, I'm having the Meatballs. I'm guessing these are Nonna's recipe (like at The Hollow). Oh yeah! The plate is nice and warm! These are absolutely delicious! It helps to add some Spicy Dadda Area 51 hot sauce. Now we're talkin'! That's better! The bartender also offered some bread. Sure! This bread is good! It's nice and darn and soft. What's better than that? I like to dip into the meatball sauce. I'm also having a bottle of Saratoga sparkling, carbonated spring water. Ah! This is good! I like hoe it I served in a glass with a lime garnish. For my next food item, I'm trying the Shrimp Cocktail (four piece). This is a new item on the menu. Prawn cocktail, also known as shrimp cocktail, is a seafood dish consisting of shelled, cooked prawns in a Marie Rose sauce or cocktail sauce, served in a glass. This is actually served on a plate. Sprinkle that lime! These shrimp are huge! I love the cocktail sauce! It is strong! For my next drink, I'm having the Blood Orange Martini made with blood orange juice (strained with about 2 blood oranges), Smirnoff vodka, lemon juice, St Germain elderflower syrup, Sparkling water and a sliced blood orange or mint sprig to garnish. This has a dark magenta color. It tastes pretty good! For my next item, I'm having the Beef Bruschetta made with marinated tenderloin and pickled onion over rustic bread. This is a chance to have a little red meat. This is very good! It's streak tips on a toast point! This is great! What's better than this?! Now I'm on to the Price Fixe Menu! For $39, you can't go wrong! The bartender couldn't believe I ate all that! I'm not even close to done! For my next "starter", I'm having the Aura Salad. This is made with mixed greens, cucumber, pickled onion, tomato, Parmesan (not for me) and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This is good! I love the dressing here! For my last drink, I'm having a Cosmopolitan made with is a sweet-tart pink cocktail that's part of the Gimlet cocktail family. It's typically made with Smirnoff vodka, Cointreau or triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice, and served in a martini glass with a lime wedge. Ah! This is good! Nice and strong! This is a perfect Cosmo! For my entree, I'm having the Atlantic Salmon (cooked medium). The Atlantic salmon is a speciesof ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. It is the third largest of the Salmonidae, behind Siberian taimen and Pacific Chinook salmon, growing up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in length. Atlantic salmon are found in the northern Atlantic Oceanand in rivers that flow into it. Most populations are anadromous, hatching in streams and rivers but moving out to sea as they grow where they mature, after which the adults seasonally move upstream again to spawn. This plate is hot! I love the fingerling potatoes! Sprinkle that lemon! I love the broccoli stalks! For dessert, I'm having mango sorbet. Ah!!! No cholesterol and delicious! This is such a classy place! What a great meal here!
