This is probably the best Main Street style Pizza that I have ever tasted in quite a long time. The texture in a pizza especially the sauce was really good in overall taste and quality. The crust was really good and not too doughy. It's a wonderful food style gem for downtown Manchester. The pizza is really good up in CT. Hit up that place some time for real good slices. Worth a drop over to enjoy good pizza somewhere downtown. The staff are courteous and friendly. The service is also top notch. read more

I have ordered from this place for over 10 years. I've sat inside about 3 times now. I recommend visiting then ordering delivery/takeout. Personally I think the food / service is better. Great happy hour hours and options. Service - depending on the day it can be busy. The workers are very kind & do their normal check ins. The waiter one day was kind to ask if we wanted the blinds to be closed due to the sun in our face. Ambiance - this has a nice small/med sized bar, since it is a smaller restaurant it can feel tight but once you are in your seat you aren't bothered by others. Food - like all restaurants it can have its bad days. Some classics my family and I like to order are: Mozzarella Sticks Arancini - crunchy, yummy.. recommendation is trying new versions other than classic. I can see this being a hit. Cheese pizza French fry pizza - top five favorites, would get a lot growing up Wings House salad Chicken Florentine pizza Pepperoni pizza Food is overall good, i cant recall trying any of their dinner plates. Drinks - Raspberry Margarita is my favoriteeee! Not too strong not too sweet literally just right. This drink has made me want to keep coming back. Location - on main street, not hard to find parking. read more

I feel like I've reviewed this place and their five dollar slice, idk.... well, in to the chicken parm, average at best, i think it's just chicken fingers ala parm, so take it for what it's worth, the bread is certainly nothing special. 15$ out the door, ok, actually 15.02, why not round it save me the change? anyway, I dont see myself rushing back, lots of other better options, although they are fine if you did find your self here. teehee 5$ slice read more

This is my time here! The restaurant is located at 775 Main St. in Manchester. Per the restaurant: "We take pride in providing you the customer with friendly and attentative service. In keeping with our old world style of cooking we import our Olive Oil, DeCecco Pasta, and San Marzano tomatoes from Italy. Our menu offers both Traditional Italian and Modern Creative selections, all prepared with the same common origin ~ the time honored tradition of using the highest quality and freshest market ingredients." They have Happy Hour 7 days a week from 3-6! I'm here at 3:39 PM for Happy Hour. It's dead but it's really early. It's nice and cool in here. This place is huge! There is a banquet room in back too. For my first drink, I'm having a Manhattan made with Old Overholt Rye Whiskey, sweet vermouth and orange bitters. It's quite good. It's nicely garnished and well balanced. For my first item, I'm having the Garden Salad (side version) made with iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This is good! I love the dressing! The music is nice and the right sound level. The bartender is knowledgeable and very pleasant. All of the menus are posted on slate chalkboards. For my next food item, I'm having the Pasta Faglioli soup made with cannellini beans and mixed pasta in a homemade tomato and vegetable broth. Will you look at this? That's a huge plate! This is a lot to eat! A meal in itself! This is a lot to eat! I'm impressed! It tastes great and is piping hot! For my next drink, I'm having the Old Fashioned made with Old Forester Bourbon, aromatic bitters, orange bitters and sugar. It's not bad. A little less water (to make it a bit stronger) would go a long ways. However, it is nicely garnished (lemon on the bottom). For my appetizer, I'm having the Baked Meatballs. This normally is 6, but I have requested a half order (3). They can do it! These are ground beef and pork meatballs baked o their homemade marinara sauce topped with 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese and served with 2 (1 for me) garlic bread crostinis. Look at this! These guys can deliver! These are delicious! The crostini is awesome! For my next drink, I'm having a Fig Martini made with Figenza Mediterranean Vodka, Combier, lime juice and cranberry juice. Combier is a French brand of liqueurs founded in 1834, most known for creating the world's first triple sec orange liqueur, Combier L'Original, by Jean-Baptiste Combier and his wife Josephine. Produced in Saumur, France, using traditional methods and a proprietary recipe of sweet and bitter oranges, water, and sugar, the company also offers other liqueurs, including Royal Combier (a blend with cognac and spices) and Combier Le Bleu (a premium blue curaçao). This is an interesting ingredient that I've never seen before. This is a good drink! It has a unique taste! It's similar to a Cosmopolitan. It's nicely garnished and well balanced. For my entree, I'm having the Chicken Marsala. This comes with bread and salad. I already had the salad so none extra for me. These are tender medallions of chicken and mushrooms sautéed in a sweet Marsala wine sauce tossed with penne. This smells good! It's piping hot! The dish is nicely garnished! This is real good! I like this bread! What a great meal here! read more

I had a few errands to take care on my day off, and by 2pm I was near Filomena's and went in. The lunch specials offered many different choices. I was thrilled to finally get out of that harsh wind. The service, portion size and ambience took me away for an hour with a warm escape. I even had a to go portion. read more

Service is good. They're usually busy during lunch rush. Garlic sticks are a must have! Fried dough sticks, crispy on the outside with perfect chew on the middle. They're sprinkled with Parmesan and so delightful. I always get the chicken wings with sauces on the side so they stay crispy. Pizza is so good. Right amount of cheese, sauce and pepperoni. Crispy crust. Draft beers are on point. There's a great wine list and cocktails. There's daily specials and lunch specials. Casual atmosphere. Good for groups and kids. Ample parking lot in back. Front street parking gets tough sometimes because they're on Main Street. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Filomena's since their original location, so that will be for over 25+ years. The food has been consistently good and hasn't changed. You can't go wrong with pizza. Other great choices are their wings and grinders. Do yourself a favor and order the Garlic sticks. They also have many weekday and Sunday specials and a happy hour that runs everyday 3-6. Today, I had a large meatball grinder and curly fries. Bon Appetite read more

Consistently good fare! Good wine and beer selections and specials. Super friendly staff. If you like eggplant parm, it's great here. Also good ravioli dishes and pizza. The whole family is happy. They also have gluten free read more

Stopped in and split a house grinder made with chicken and eggplant parm. They made a really great tasting sandwich. Small bar area with high tables and seats are the bar. Lots of happy hour offers, will stop in again to try some. read more

I've had Filomena's pizza through friends and office parties, so I finally got around to bringing the family for a great dining experience! Went in on Monday night at 5:30 and we were seated right away. Wait staff is very friendly and attentive, though I didn't see many of them. The antipasto was so good, I had to start fighting my kids for the meat - the caprese was all mine though! Got the gluten free pizza for my 10 year old son who nearly polished it off. The XL combo pizza (hamburger, pepperoni, sausage, peppers, mushroom, onion) was delicious, but it was a little overkill for the 4 of us, I'm sure the Large would have been good enough. Great experience, great food, will definitely be back. read more

We came here at 4 PM on Monday afternoon after a hair appointment next door. We've seen the place often but never stopped in. It was pretty empty inside so we got a choice of whatever see if we wanted. I came with my nine year old daughter, so we decided to split the risotto balls and get the baked combo to split. The risotto balls were delicious and I was very pleased to see that the meatballs that came in the combo we're actually homemade meatballs. I'm so used to tasting frozen meatballs at restaurants that we just stop in it. It was so refreshing to taste, a real meatball. My daughter won't stop raving about the stuff shells. We ended with a coffee and a tiramisu cake, which was the perfect ending to this meal. I'd definitely come back! read more

The pizza was amazing! The delivery driver was rude! We gave her a 20% tip to drive around the corner and she wouldn't come in to deliver. I had to walk out to the parking lot. When I asked for plates, she rudely informed me I was supposed to ask for them when I called. I ordered online and it was my first time so How is the customer supposed to know that. I called to complain and was told the same thing. They should just keep plates in the car. Simple solution! Not rocket science. read more

Couldn't be more pleased as a first timer at this fantastic restaurant. Wait staff was very attentive and food quality was fantastic , huge fan of the daily specials they offer. Will definitely be going back sooner than later! read more

Disappointed. We had purchased a party pizza that was excellent but we purchased a small pizza that was not that good. Very dry and crust was not as thin. Everything was expensive and they charge for delivery. read more

Ordered an eggplant parm and buffalo pasta. Got home and the buffalo pasta had chicken on it (we're vegetarians). Went back and the person said they had taken the order and remembered no chicken. Asked if I wanted another one, I said I didn't want to wait, just give me a refund. They said they couldn't because their system wouldn't let them and they could give me a credit. This is ridiculous. I said I don't want a credit because it was the 2nd time this had happened. 10 minutes of arguing and they couldn't give me a refund. So I said I guess I'll take the credit. 3 weeks later I call to place an order on the credit and they couldn't find it. Another 10 minutes and they said they'd have to talk to the manager. I told them to forget it. If you care about your order or their "credit system", my advice is to just not go there. read more

We recently had a birthday party for my dad in the private room at Filomena's. Mike and his ENTIRE staff were so helpful, they made planning so very easy and stress free. Everyone was so accommodating, the food was very good and all the guests had a great time. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a casual and fun party. read more

Drove up ten minutes before they closed. The staff was open to five utility workers coming in and keeping them there later. Food was fricken awesome. Service was over the top! Everyone we made stay late came to our table constantly to make sure we were all set! Thank you all! read more

I had our son's rehearsal dinner in the "wine room" at Filomena's a couple of weeks ago. Michael, the owner, was very accommodating. His staff was wonderful as well. We had such a nice evening. The food was good and the staff went out of their way to be sure we were happy. read more

One of the best places in Manchester. Freshly made food, awesome service, and a very comfortable dining experience.

Wack place both food-wise and when it comes to who runs the restaurant. Many employees are lovely individuals. Owner is not, so be warned. Food is below sub-par and ridiculously overpriced for the quality. There is a lot I've heard and experienced regarding Filomena's and let me just say it'd be in your best interest to not give them your business. read more

Do not give your business to this place and Don't let the 5 star reviews Fool you most of the reviews are old and this place has gone down hill. For example the food is smaller portions for the top dollar most people are paying. I came here to pick up a salad one time and I over heard a delivery driver threatening to spit in a customers food.. you can say that was my last time there. some of the staff can be very friendly but don't let that encourage you to come back because what happens behind the kitchen doors is another story. The owner was very unprofessional one of my last visits and was visibly angry with his staff and was slamming things and yelling at them in the back of the kitchen I don't support any businesses that condone this or even allow this type of behavior at all. The food is and can be good but this still doesn't change my mind to wanna support them. read more

It's a mistake to think that the review of a restaurant that is super classy or super extravagant or super snazzy, means that the ones that are not any of those things necessarily don't measure up somehow. I did a review of this particular restaurant about a year ago, and I've been going to this restaurant often on since 2016, perhaps once a month or once every two months. They have an appetizer that's called a risotto ball which is wonderful and I like their veal Parmesan as well. What I want to talk about now, and what motivates me to give them five stars at this point, is a staff member, a waitress, who went the extra mile for me and I think it all to be noted. My wife and I were there for dinner a couple of nights ago and we noticed that the people we saw on staff were different than the ones that we were accustomed to seeing. The thirtysomething gal that waited our table, asked me if there was anything that I needed. I joked with her about always wishing that they had milk to serve with ice, with my veal Parmesan; a personal preference of mine whenever I eat tomato sauce. I love milk and especially cold milk. It has been typical of this particular restaurant not to be able to provide the milk because they don't typically have it in their store house. However this gal decided as I understand it, to leave the restaurant and go to a corner store and buy a gallon of milk so that she could come back and bring me a glass of milk with ice in it. Not only was that nice of her but that really was above and beyond, and something completely unexpected. So if nothing else I just want to take a moment and upgrade my previous review and make note of this waitress who went the extra mile to make sure I enjoyed my meal. She should get a raise! read more

One of the best parts of Filomena's are all the specialty pizza options. As someone who loves lots of toppings and unique combinations, I was excited about the multiple pizzas my group selected. We ordered personal sized Mashed Potato, Margherita, and Sliced Meatball Parm Pizzas, as well as a Sicilian, which came as one size. My favorites (no surprise here) were the mashed potato and sliced meatball parm thanks to the smorgasbord of toppings! The Sicilian pizza had quite a thick crust, which the server did let us know in advance, but the other three had a really nice crust with a balanced crisp and chew. I was a little surprised by the wait after ordering our pizzas, it seemed a little long given the light crowd on Saturday afternoon, but not too excessive. read more

Love being at Filomena's! The food is great and the staff are wonderful! Definitely worth a visit or two or three!

Very good. Great service and food. Had pizza and a grinder both yummy! Worth the visit.

If you told me this was DiGiorno's frozen pizza I wouldn't argue with you. Average pizza. This place is good but there is better pizza not just in Manchester but better pizza on the same street. I will visit again and try their grinder. read more

Great place, great pizza, and even better staff! I love this place so much and highly recommend.

Went here for lunch today. I tried grilled chicken wrap. Everything was cooked perfectly, and tasted dreamy. Our server was getting slammed. We were patient. All in all, my friends and I loved our orders. Beverages were A+. My two friends Had the fisherman's platter which they enjoyed. My fourth friend had a grilled chicken wrap like me! Everyone had a good experience at Filomena's. Try it!! read more

My favorite pizza place in Manchester!! Very clean and nice inside. All of the food I have tried here is delicious, and they have great specials every night of the week, $6 personal cheese pizzas on Mondays is my favorite. Staff is very friendly and personable, only complaint is that the service can get a bit slow if it is busy...but still well worth the visit. read more

From the appetizers to the entrees-the food was superb! We had 4 different entrees and each one was delicious. My husband and I have eaten at many Italian restaurants in NJ, NY, and Connecticut...Filomena's is now our absolute favorite. The atmosphere is beautiful and the building has historic charm. The staff were helpful, quick to anticipate our needs, and friendly which added to the welcoming vibe. The owner was hands-on and took the time to greet us during dinner. Filomena's is fabulous! read more

Always fresh & delicious food from here. Never a disappointment each time we've gotten food to-go or eat-in.

This is not a review so much about their food but about their delivery service. Food was okay. Asked for breaded chicken on half the pizza but it looked like they cooked the pizza and then just cut up cooked chicken tenders and plopped them right on top of the cooked pizza. I ordered extra cheese which definitely did not get done! And if it did, I would hate to see what a normal amount of cheese is on a small Pizza. Bottom of pizza was black. I ordered through the slice app, which is terrible as it is. It doesn't show any relevant info on where your food is , just that it is "on its way", and an approx Time of delivery. But the restaurant delivery woman was beyond rude. She drove a dark SUV with a Filomena t shirt on. I gather from her attitude that she had trouble finding my place. I asked for no contact delivery so when she rang the doorbell , I opened the door and waved my hand out so as to let her know I knew she was there. I then partially shut the door. Looking through the peekhole, I saw she was still there. I peeked out the door again and she asked quite rudely if I was expecting pizza. I told her yes, I was. She was clearly annoyed. She told me my phone kept going to voice mail and I shook my head and mouthed that I didn't know why. (As I checked my phone later, I didn't see any missed calls, unknown or otherwise.). But I'm willing to chalk it up to a mix up. She went to her car to retrieve my food. She came back with her phone in her hands and I heard her say to the other person "no don't worry I've got it". She put my food on my porch and all I could her hear was her swearing to whoever was on the other end of the phone. Look, I get delivery is hard and miscommunications happen. It was probably along day and she just wanted to get home. But her rudeness and language within my presence was just uncalled for. I realize she must have been frustrated by the experience but I assume if u work for the restaurant, u are going to have some sort of professionalism and respect. I can't explain the phone thing but she acted like it did it on purpose. My house isn't easy to find in the dark and I acknowledge that also. But she was so beyond rude for someone representing a well known and well liked food establishment. It's too bad my tip was already prepaid or I would have cut it in half. read more

The first time going to filomenas was sensational. Entering transports you to a different world, filled with Italian art and unique dishes. I was greeted with friendly faces and kind workers. I never waited too long for my food and every time it was amazing. Last week, I ordered food for my family because it is their favorite restaurant. Their calzones are cooked perfectly. Not to mention the endless choices of specialty pizzas. Every time I go, I order a new pizza I had never tried before. The Baja pizza is my current favorite. The Italian dishes are authentic, as if I have traveled to Florence. The desserts are delectable. Some times I go only for deserts! Going to filomemas is the best decision I made! It my go-to restaurant now. read more

The food was great but, I ordered delivery. It was quick like twenty maybe thirty minutes. They must have gave me an in house serving because that was not enough spaghetti for the spaghetti lemon franses. They filled the to go container like it was leftovers. I wish they would have filled the to go container with more food, they are expensive. I'd say by the prices that they want you to experience the restaurant in person. I won't be ordering delivery from here again. Maybe to see if they changed their portion size to price ratio, how do you skimp on spaghetti for that price, call it cheap but, I definitely love the leftovers from goin out to eat. read more

What happened to good customer service? Have loved this place and ordered 4 meals and wings to go and was told they don't give plastic wear or napkins! What?
