She was fantastic. We got there a little early so the tables weren't quite ready but Jamie set the tables as quickly as she could so we could sit. Jamie immediately explained the prefix menu for our group and took our orders. I have to say for a group of 30 we had our apps, drinks and dinner without waiting. Jamie made sure everyone had the correct meals and that our steaks were cooked to our liking. Everything was amazing. I would highly recommend this place. I would ask for Jamie's section. You won't be disappointed.

The portions here are downright ridiculous, in the best way possible. We shared My Mother's Chips, and that dip! Probably the best part of the appetizer. We each ordered a pasta dish, and both were good. Piece of advice: BOOK A RESERVATION, especially on a Friday or weekend. The place was packed. Whether you're planning a date night or celebrating something special, Viron delivers. Good food, beautiful atmosphere and plenty of parking.

The food takes FOR EVER to come out and refills on soda took around 10mins each time despite the restaurant being at roughly 40% capacity...To put it in perspective we got there at 745, ordered apps and entrees immediately and finally got our dinner at 915. We just asked for to-go boxes as soon as the plates hit the table. Surprisingly they were very efficient when it came to bringing us the bill Food is not bad, but certainly not worth what they charge. Nothing came out hot, just kinda warm...There are literally 2 other Italian restaurants on the same street within a half mile with better food and faster service.

It was a Wednesday night. We noticed that the menu online is not the same as the menu there. We were both happy and disappointed at the same time with the menu change. There was an appetizer we plan to get From the online menu, but was not there at the menu at the restaurant. Two of us did order food that we did not see on the menu online so we were both happy that we were able to order gnocchi. That is pretty much.. I did take a picture of the menu and posted it here in my review so people could see the actual menu. The pasta comes with three choices of sauce, a marinara sauce, a pink sauce, or a Bolognese. My friend ordered the gnocchi with the pink sauce and absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure what to get, but I got the marinara sauce. I was not aware at the time, but the marinara sauce is actually very spicy. I really loved it and was happy with my choice. My friend tried it and thought it was too spicy for her but really loved her choice. My other friend, very much enjoyed the linguine and clams. No bread is offered complementary. Small salads did come complementary with the dinners. Overall, we were all happy and we all would like to come again.

Nice cozy spot where you never walk out disappointed or hungry. The food's always solid and fresh,…read moretender chicken and crisp salads that hit the spot, even if the dressings came from a bottle instead of Nonna's secret stash. There's a bit of a "shared fryer situation," so don't be surprised if your mozzarella brick has just a whisper of haddock perfume. The desserts look like they've seen a freezer or two, but the warm vibe more than makes up for it. The staff is fantastic, and the tables practically chat with each other. Think Sunday dinner energy without doing the dishes. All in all, a four-star hug of a restaurant.

Unfortunately this will likely be the last time we order from Carmines. I lived in East Haven…read moreshoreline 17 years and was thrilled when Carmines came to Meriden. But the last 3 times in a month the pizza has been so salty we just can't order again. The time before tonight they missed our order even until I showed up, but those mistakes are forgivable. We loved their wings too, but only one time when I reminded them did they remember blue cheese. Tonight I specifically asked them to make sure we got blue cheese since it was for delivery, I even said we don't even need celery etc. (I don't think they provide it anyway) Once again we got no blue cheese and it was delivered. The wings were bad the last time -- the only time they weren't good -- crispy tonight now at least but I'm sorry, paying over $21 for 15 wings without blue cheese, when I've repeatedly reminded them not to forget, it ruins it. Especially with oversalty pizza 3rd time in a row? It's depressing wasting over $50 more than once... And I called them directly. And it sucks but the pizza used to be so great it got better the next day, the last 3 times it's been so salty. My husband, 16 yr old son, and his friend (and I) ate some because we were starving. I called to let them know this time but they were closed. Sorry it's been this way but I had to let them know and hope they correct it. Can't see ordering again myself though

Two offer wood fired pizza while the third impresses by offering an inexpensive 2 slice combo that includes a soda. The fourth being Illiano's where once again I forgot how relatively expensive their slices were in the past and likely continue to be though admittedly I neglected to inquire or take note of how much I paid. I requested a pair of cheese slices, NY style according to its website, to go and after paying was ignored by one and all for too many minutes. Although they advertise on their website that a snack in the form of a tiny nugget of pizza would be offered, none was offered to me - boohoo. Finally one of the employees broke away from whatever he had been engaged in, took note of my order of which there was no others and placed the slices in the oven. Shortly thereafter the slices were properly reheated, boxed and handed to me with nary an apology or a smile offered. These were consumed in the car where both of us agreed the crust bordered on being tasteless and the toppings only fractionally better. This location, the owners third, has been in operation since 2008 so obviously they are doing something right though you could not prove it by me.
