The espresso martinis were lovely and perfectly balanced -- smooth, not overly sweet, and honestly one of the better ones I've had recently. For food, everything we tried was impressive. The zuppa di pesce was delicious and full of flavor, and the pasta dishes were wow -- you can really tell the care that goes into them. Between the ambiance, drinks, and food, Bella Fiore is a solid choice for a nice dinner out or a stop before or after the casinos. I'd definitely go back.

The restaurant and staff were very accommodating to us and found a table and made space for our son and his stroller. The ambience in the restaurant is very nice almost romantic. Our waiter Kyle was absolutely great. He answered the questions that we had regarding the menu and recommended a few wines to go with our meal. He was very gracious regarding our son as well. We also really enjoyed the fact that he waited until we were about halfway done with our appetizer before he placed our entrée order with the cooks. He made sure that we had enough time to finish our appetizer before our dinner plates arrived, which was a very nice touch. There are not many restaurants and staff that do this. We tried the charcuterie, board and bread for our appetizers. The charcuterie board presentation was beautiful and it was a very tasty board as well. The bread was good, but nothing outstanding. Myhusband ordered the paparadelle and I ordered the rigatoni. Both dishes were very good. The restaurant also treated us to a complementary celebratory dessert of tiramisu, which was a very nice touch.

A very pleasant Italian eatery experience. I ate in at…read moreJack's for lunch and it is clear this should be thought of as more than just a pizzeria. The seats are all really comfortable looking, the service was fast, attentive, and friendly. The menu isn't vast, so there's faith that the food is being cooked for real. Tried today were: A slice of regular cheese and Sicilian cheese pizzas, a meatball grinder, and seafood ortolana (from the specials menu). Sicilian cheese - thick crust that wasn't too heavy. Very airy and crunchy. The sauce is a little sweet, but the overall slice was really good, especially with some parmesan added on top. Regular cheese - thin crust, crunchy but still pliable. This one needed the parmesan because I felt it was pretty bland on its own. Meatball grinder - soft meatballs with mild seasoning, that sweet sauce, melted cheese, on a bread that was toasted but not overly flavorful. A solid grinder that is acceptable in every way but not blowing you away. Seafood ortolana - while this is a special, I can see that they know how to mostly cook seafood (the scallops cooked way too long and were tough as a result, but the shrimp and calamari were just right) and pasta. I like that the vegetables were cooked to where they still had a bite to them, no one wants soggy squash. There was a flavor tone that I was never able to pin down, I thought maybe propane? jarred minced garlic?, something with a sweet back end but sharp front end. In any case, it hovered on the edges of every bite, becoming inescapable and not overly pleasant. In general, this is a good restaurant, I'll be trying other food here in the future and can say that I'm confident you could have a nice meal here too. In terms of handicapped access, their main parking lot has one spot, but then steps to get in. A single parking spot with ramp access is available on the back side of the restaurant, looks to be where employee parking is as well.

We ordered ham and Italian grinders as well as a large pepperoni pizza. The pizza sauce was robust, zesty and flavorful! We absolutely LOVED IT! The crust was perfectly crunchy and toppings were plentiful. My mom had mentioned that she liked the pizza better than Queen Pizza in Hartford- which is a HUGE compliment! I feel like the real stars of the shows were the grinders though. Not sure what kind of bread they used but it definitely tasted fresh. They didn't skimp on toppings, either. The only gripe I had was that the well-toasted bread was soggy. Yes- we asked for oil, however, the amount they put on their made everything a bit of a mess. But it wasn't even enough to take a star off for since the meal was overall satisfying. We've gone to Great Oak religiously for 20+ years. But since they aren't open Sundays- I'm happy we found a decent replacement! Exceeded my expectations and this will be our new spot during football season, for sure.

First before I go into any of my food reviews, I have to tell you come prepared it was absolutely freezing in this restaurant it seemed like they had the air on. They say they tried to call people. It was frigid in there the entire time. To start off our trip to Tuscany we agreed with a very pleasant waitress who was very quick to take our drink water in any appetizers. We were then greeted with some warm bread, olive tapenade and hummus. Which was a very tasty bite. Our lemon martinis with a sugar rim or fantastic. Our food came out rather quickly. The lobster bisque was a good portion. It had nice pieces of lobster in it not too thick not too salty probably one of the better ones. I've had the meatballs came out with a portion of four large meat meatballs topped with ricotta cheese, very flavorful and tender. Thankfully, all the food stayed hot while we had freezing cold air blowing on us. Next thing may sound a little weird, but they redid the seating covers on the benches and they're made out of this leather Ish suede style material and when you try to get in your clothes, don't move with it so you kinda have to hop in and out of your seat or else, your clothes are gonna roll. While it gives you a warm feeling of the atmosphere it's not very easy to get in and out of your seats. Overall, it was a great trip. I only give the three star ratings because it was really freezing in there and almost unbearable because we didn't have jackets. Just be prepared and enjoy!

From what I have gathered there's a crew that gets it, and a crew that doesn't give a crap. I've ordered the same thing the same way and get different amounts of meat each time. I pay for extra meat because they are a bit skimpy with their cold meats. I've paid for extra meat 5 times and have received extra meat twice and one of those correct times was because I ate there. The time I ate there was a quiet and pleasant experience. Tall blonde haired kid was my server, I say kid with respect, you can tell he's young but he was also very respectful. Everything came out timely and perfect. I'm not sure I'll be ordering takeout anytime soon. Could you imagine opening the grinders in store to make sure there's extra meat before ya leave? Cringe, no thanks. Just make it right to begin with. These sandwiches are not cheap especially when I'm gluten free and have to pay en extra $5 for the bread I can eat. The grinders are great when made to your liking, I'll give them that.

The guy behind the register was mumbling under his breath about 'no sugar content in the food' and said 'they ask a lot of questions.' He is lucky he doesn't have to ask those kind of questions and shouldn't be mumbling under his breath when paying customers are asking questions so they do not cause a spike in blood sugar that could cause a hospital visit. 3) Only one picnic table to sit outside. Now the good: 1) The lady who took our order was really nice, she asked how we wanted the sandwich prepped and answered our questions. 2) They offer an extra meat option for those who like a more filling sandwich. 3) The small sandwiches are rather large. So, if you have a TMJ problem, you may want to consider a bun instead of a grinder bread. 4) the cannolis are delicious, even better than the cannolis my spouse bought at Mike's Pastry in Boston (we waited 30+ minutes in line. So, the good outweighs the bad so we will visit again next time we are in town.
