    First experience here on a Saturday afternoon between lunch and dinner- surprised by the crowd coming in for takeout at that time. Had a beef taco salad, hubby had two tacos. Loved the tomatillo salsa that came with the tacos, wished my salad had a little more seasoning but I realize you cater to the crowds. People next booth over had a pizza that looked great - that might be the next visit- there absolutely will be more ! Ps - TV volume is a little loud but I didn't ask them to switch it so I can't complain

    This place pretty much goes BACK, At least the burritos do. My bf and I always eat burgers and pizza so we decided to switch it up. We got the ground beef and steak burritos. The beef burrito was delicious, the meat portion was plentiful as they were not stingy. Everything fell into place. The steak burrito was even BETTER, the steak was perfectly seasoned. Perfectly cooked- so well cooked I could enjoy it with my braces. There was alot of steak which was a relief considering it was so good. The reason I give this place 4 stars is because the rice in the burrito could've have more flavor...whether it be a hint of seasoning or some lime. But the burrito was THICC but stayed together. The prices were more than fair, 9/10 I would highly recommend here The burritos come with mild (green) and spicy (red) salsa. UPDATE: Just had the tacos, the chicken and steak tacos are okay... But the beef tacos were delicious! UPDATE 2: The quesadillas are very good! The actual location doesn't really have alot of seating. The name of the place throws you off but theexixan they serve is quality.

    Really good! I did find the chicken a little bland, so maybe don't get that, but it was nbd as their sauces are so good, it makes up for it. We also got nachos (not pictured) that were decent. We got this as takeout in May FYI. I think it's a good value for your price and they're a small business so definitely support! Will try the pizza next!

    Delicious tacos

    Best tacos in town..I asked them why pizza and tacos and they said because kids like pizza so it lets mom and dad eat Mexican while the kids have pizza. Try the crunchy tacos...and the barbacoa

    Hands down the best Mexican food in the area. I'm very particular about Mexican food, since being from Texas and CT does not have much to choose from when it comes to authentic Mexican food. But I'm proud to say I looove this place, it's my first time here. I definitely plan on going again many more times in the near future. Husband and I tried the nachos, which were so delicious. We also had one soft taco each and again very delicious. The service was awesome and it is to me a hole in the wall/small "which are the best".

    Pep pizza .. Goooooooooood

    Best delivery place by far in my area. I actually live within walking distance however still get the delivery, lol. I've gotten there pizza slices when I was drinking a little bit and they were pretty good so I decided to give the Mexican food a try. The pizza is actually really good - for the area really good nevertheless delivery - can't go wrong. It's thin crust, good chew good toppings pretty cheap. On to the Mexican. Hands down best Mexican in the area. I got their crunchy tacos they came fully loaded , hot , delicious. 10/10 would buy again. Got the quesadilla - 10/10 would buy again. It's not greasy or unhealthy tasting like Azteca - and on top of it all they deliver. All of their sides - salsa verde , sour cream , pico de gallo are homemade and awesome . I can't wait to order a burrito. On the phone I had to change my order Multiple times, the person who took my order was a pro - order came exactly how I wanted it Great job guys keep putting out great food. Edit: added pic of the pizza - ate the Mexican too fast to snap a pic :(

    Half of my Chicken  ceasar wrap

    Omg! If I could give 10 stars I would! I just ordered doordash and am really impressed ! I ordered a chicken ceasar wrap and an el pastor crunchy taco and everything was packed with flavor. What really surprised me was how amazing the crunchy taco was. Looks like they fry their own corn tortillas so the shell was thick and still super crunchy after being delivered!! I wish I ordered more !!!! I couldn't upload a pic of the taco because it was gone in a matter of seconds lol

    Clean. Tasty authentic ingredients. I had a El Mexicano burrito, it was enough to feed a small family of four! OK OK it was really big... They need to place TV in the dinning room or put on some music at least.

    Shame on me for taking so long to try this place. I live less then a 5 min walk from this amazing place. I haven't tried the pizza or the Italian section of the menu but the Mexican is fantastic. We ordered a taco salad and a steak cutlet torta sandwich... The salad was huge. Loaded with a avocado lettuce cheese and seasoned non greasy hamburger. My fav was my sandwich. Something different and new to my taste buds.... The roll was buttered and toasted and loaded with onion cheese avocado fresh cut tomato and a nice steak cutlet. Oh and I can't forget the jalapeño !!! I regret not trying this sooner... Next in the list is the Burrito!!

    Steak burrito!
    Kelly R.

    Haven't tried the pizza but daaaaamn are the Burritos good! Just as big if not bigger than those chain restaurants!

My husband and I told her it was our first visit to JG and she was delighted to help us with any questions or concerns. The menu is huge and it offers something for everybody! I decided to start with the apple salad, which was huge! It was crispy, crunchy, and had just the right mix of ingredients. My husband ordered a small (12in) cheese pizza, and I decided to go with a small (12in) vodka pizza. I love vodka sauce but had never tried it on a pie before, man was it delicious!- Chef's kiss! My husband really enjoyed his traditional cheese pizza as well! It was great to find a new haven style pizza joint further into the state. They also serve Detroit style pizza which I'd be interested in trying next time. The only downside was not having room to try the italian ricotta donuts that look and sound amazing (which JG doesn't start serving till 5pm). I guess that means we'll just have to go back! 10 out of 10 for JG, we shall return!

He is very attentive and is on top of drinks and food before your glass is running low. Thank you Spencer for being 100% attentive at what you do to keep customers happy. If you are wondering if I/we know him. No we do not. I always ask the name of the person serving us. I find it to be a more pleasant experience knowing the name of the person who is serving us. As for the food my Apple walnut cranberry something salad lol was amazing. I ordered it with Only romaine lettuce, no onions and extra dressing. Amazing!! My husband ordered a cheeseburger with fries that he really enjoyed. 10/10 on food and service but if you plan to sit in the bar area it can get really loud if it is full house.

I live the nice music in here. It's very livel! It's Happy Hour from 3-7 on weekdays (food) and all day for drinks on Monday! The kitchen here makes everything built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. The appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed their kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! Not every place can say that! For my first drink, I'm having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob Creek bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. Wait a minute! These are the same ingredients as a Perfect Manhattan! This is chilled, well balanced and nicely garnished. I like it! For my first food item, I'm having a House Salad (small, off-menu version). This is made with a spring mix including basil, tomatoes, julienned carrots, cucumbers and a red wine vinaigrette dressing. This is nice and fresh! I love the dressing! I like the nice cloth napkin as well as a disposable one. The bartender is the nicest one I've ever met. For my next item, I'm having the Rigatoni Marinara. The is made with rigatoni and house marinara sauce. It's low cholesterol and guilt-free (for me). This is steaming hot and delicious! Nice portion size too! For my next item, I'm having a cup of soup. This is broccoli cheddar with potato. Oh yeah! I love those oyster crackers! This is yummy! For my next drink, I'm having the Pratt n Whiskey made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. I love it! It's shaken well and tastes great! For my next food item, I'm having the Carmine's Secret Tenderloins. These are actually pan seared caramelized CHICKEN tenderloins made with wine, olive oil, cracked black pepper, kosher salt, shredded Parmesan and a VERY special secret sauce. I can eat this with little regret. This should be interesting! This is quite good! I do like that creamy sauce! For my dessert, I'm having the Toasted Almond. This is soaked in Amaretto layered with light custard and topped with crushed almond. Oh yeah! Look at the presentation! This is fantastic! What a great meal here!

The first time, I went with a friend and ordered the lobster ravioli. While eating it, I started feeling nauseous and ended up returning the dish to the server. The next day, my friend contacted me and told me that she had become very sick after eating the separate dish she had ordered. I can't say for certain what caused either of us to feel sick, but the experience definitely left me concerned. I decided to give Yanni's another chance because I've always enjoyed going there. Unfortunately, my second experience was also disappointing. I went with my girlfriend and we ordered a meat lovers pizza. The crust had what tasted like a stale/refrigerated flavor, and the crust itself was noticeably different from what I was used to getting from Yanni's. My girlfriend also thought the pizza was terrible and told me we shouldn't go back. That's what makes this so disappointing. This used to be a reliable go-to spot for me, so having two bad experiences back-to-back makes me wonder if something has changed. I really hope the restaurant looks into the consistency and quality of the food because I'd much rather be able to recommend Yanni's again.
