    Slice of pepp
    Peter M.

    Finally had the opportunity to stop into this place. I ordered a slice of pepperoni. I could've ordered quite a few different things however I wanted to keep it simple for the purpose of this review. It's not a bad slice of pizza. I give it a 3.5. Is there anything substantially different than Iliano's? not really. Are they on the other side of the bridge for me? Yes. The restaurant looks amazing inside. The gal serving the pizza this morning was fast and friendly. I might update my score when I go back to try the Bolognese.

    Chicken Parmesan
    Meagan W.

    Tried this place today after it opened a couple days ago, and it was really good! The building inside was very nice, you could tell that it was all brand new. The food was all very good, especially the fried mozzerella. The pizza was also great, I loved the crust. Our server was very nice. Service was a bit slow but that's to be expected right after a place opens. We will definitely be back, the whole experience was very pleasant. :)

    Eggplant Rollatini appetizer.

    Very good.I only got the appetizer of Eggplant Rollatini. It was large and I wasn't wasn't very hungry.I ate 1 of the 3 pieces and the other 2 were my dinner.I will certainly be back.

    Bianca Large Pizza
    Angel S.

    Worst pizza in the state of CT. This was a Bianca ordered to go. Barely any cheese. Dry and flavorless. They said one hour because of grand opening which is expected. Showed up after 45 minutes and pizza was cold. We also had their meatballs on the side and those were also flavorless. Don't waste your time or money.

    Giant Garlic Knot Meatball Sandwich

    I cannot wait to go back! A friend suggested we try this new place, and although I am never thrilled by the prospect of yet another Italian restaurant (yawn), I trusted her because she is super-smart. And - oh boy! - what an unexpected treat! I had the Giant Garlic Knot Meatball Sandwich: not just huge...hugely delicious! The restaurant was clean and classy, the service attentive and courteous. Her meal (Veal Milanese) was great, and the pizzas available for take-out looked especially delicious. Take your friends to Impasto! They will thank you (and think you are super-smart!)

    Eggplant Parm Knot Sandwich

    We ordered two of the garlic knot sandwiches to go, I got the eggplant parm as pictured, and we also got a chicken vodka knot. (Not pictured) The portion was size was great, so no complaints there! They traveled well in their boxes which we were thankful for! And they were good! My daughter was not a fan of her side of meatballs however, so we deducted a star for that. Overall I think it's worth trying to form your own opinions! It's not every day you get to order a giant garlic knot sandwich!

    Chicken Milanese. Fresh and done perfectly.

    Beautiful view, good food, nice people…read more I got the ravioli (huge and delicious), the pizza (sized to share and very good), and meatballs (beef, not amazing but still good). Everything comes in big portions while staying relatively cheap. Would go back and highly recommend!

    After reading all the rave reviews we were looking forward to stopping at Paul's for some house…read moremade pasta. Then I saw they have a new owner? So I went in with a 'let's see' mindset. We both ordered spaghetti, one with a meatball, one with sausage. The pasta is flat as it would be if house made. However, having lived in Italy, eating many a 'house made' restaurant pasta, and, having made my own, to me this spaghetti does not have the taste or texture I expected from house made. My meatball did taste homemade. However, as is common in the restaurant industry, the texture leads me to believe a big batch is made and frozen for later use. It was tough to cut. A bit rubbery. The sauce was OK, Not delightful. Not bad. All together this was not a dish worth chewing for me personally and I left half of it behind. Seating is available both indoors and outside over looking the river. Parking is available behind the building or about a block away in a free public lot. One restroom for all. Prepared foods available 'to go' at a deli counter by the entrance. The entrance is a few steps up from the sidewalk.

The waiter did not do a good job of coming to our table to check in on us, drink orders, and refilling our waters. This time I tired some of the lamb chop which was cooked well and tasted amazing for an appetizer. For the main entree this time, I had a special which was a halibut with a linguini pasta. The fish was cooked pretty good and so was the pasta (al dente) however the sauce that it was served in was quite bland. Definitely a letdown with the sauce which made me not finish the pasta. If they nailed the sauce with something savory and complimentary to the fish, this would've kept the high praise review. Overall, this experience was unfortunately a letdown with the food and staff/service, probably a bit of an unfortunate choice in meal and poor waiter for my table. Hopefully my next visit which will be in the far future is better. Food(50%): 6.5 Staff/service(25%): 4.0 Value(25%): 5.0 Overall: 5.5/10

The Chicken Ornella, the Chicken Piccata, the Bolognese and my wild Salmon were all very well made. Fresh tasting, homemade pastas and well prepared.

A parking lot that lead to the main dining area through a set of steep stairs. The entrance on Broad is street level.

    Amazing service, reasonably priced food, and a calmer environment to chat and digest it all in :)…read more I really loved our server (I believe her name was Jess)! She was so kind and attentive; she even brought out a second serving of the complimentary bread which was soft, warm, and fresh. Delicious with their olive oil! Food: - gnocchi: this came piping hot and I liked it! very generous portion but I felt like the tomato sauce tasted a bit off or was missing something. - tortellini: this was stellar. We got it with the pesto which I definitely think is the move. So flavorful and dense! Flavor packed.

It is the epitome of the…read morelocal New England pizza joint, a small storefront place with tables spread across a couple of rooms. The menu is true Italian community food. The service was excellent, especially since we were a party of six and descended on the place unannounced. My wife and I did order pizzas - she ordered the shrimp and artichoke pizza and I ordered the Margarita pizza. She loved her choice and gave it a score of ten out of ten. I gave my Margarita pizza a four out of ten and think that that was generous. My complaints - the crust was quite wimpy, undercooked, and the entire pizza was overpowered by the basal pesto! I have never had basil pesto, or any other pesto, on a pizza! I will give the Recovery Room another chance and will try the Margarita pizza again. But, I will ask for fresh basil and be specific that the pesto is not to contaminate the pizza. My long experience with pizza making is that they must be cooked on a stone and the oven must be 500F or higher to get the crust the way I like it. The Recovery Room most likely takes its name from the Lawerence Memorial Hospital which is just a couple of blocks away from the restaurant.

There is a road bridge that crosses the river way above so it does not impact views of the water. We were promptly seated outside where the umbrellas provided shade and the sea breeze was gentle. We were fortunate to catch a beautiful summer day that was not humid or extremely hot. I started with Niantic Bay oysters which are local. They were expertly plated, plump and delicious served with a mignonette sauce. Next I ordered the Chilled Seafood Salad which is listed as an appetizer but was plenty for me. The salad had Stonington scallops, Long Island scungilli, large shrimp, hot peppers with a lime vinaigrette. It was nicely seasoned including the shrimp and scallops. Although the scungilli was sliced thin, they were somewhat tough and a little chewy. My friends enjoyed their selections which ranged from burgers and fries to salads and chowders. The wait staff were pleasant and efficient. The inside decor was very pleasant. Prices are within range of what one would expect.

    We've been coming here often since they first opened and have generally always been happy, but…read moresomething has recently changed food wise and the costs have gotten out of control. The service is always great, so kind and quick, no complaints ever. Even with summer hires they are great! The setting is beautiful, nice outside patio, great raw bar seating, and even in the winter the indoors is comfortable and warm. A few months ago our meal was off and seemed poorly made with lesser quality ingredients, but we let it go as we thought maybe it was just a bad night. We came back again this weekend and it was more of not worse of the same. Our staple go to here has always been the crab cakes with Kimchi. I love it so much that I sometimes order 2 of it as my meal, with extra kimchi on the side! We have also tried many other options though, both kinds of lobster rolls, scallops, ravioli, always 2-3 things from the raw bar, and generally get an entree and drink special too. I'm not sure if staffing/decision making in the kitchen changed or they are cutting costs but something is definitely off. The crab cakes are no longer what they were, they have no signs of the large lump crab, and honestly tasted like a frozen version made with imitation crab. Add to that that they raised the price and I am baffled they thought it was ok to serve. The kimchi is no longer actual kimchi but plain raw cabbage chopped and lightly dusted with what could only be the leftover spices from a poor attempt at kimchi mix. The entire thing was so bad we had to send it back. When I asked about what had changed I was met with a firm denial that it was any different than it had ever been. We have eaten them around 15-20 different times and I honestly couldn't believe they were trying to convince me it was the same. The lobster roll was awful, tasted almost day old. If we had done what we wanted we would have sent our entire meals back and just left. On top of all of this, the prices have been consistently raised and yet the food quality has gone way down. I think if it were not for tourists and the location this place would suffer greatly from the changes and cutbacks they have made. Sadly, we will not be returning.
