Amazing service, reasonably priced food, and a calmer environment to chat and digest it all in :) 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. read more

We went to Recovery Room Pizza to try a local pizza joint in New London. It is the epitome of the local 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. read more

We haven't been to Recovery Room in quite some time but stopped for a late lunch. It's still as good as we remember. The chopped pasta salad is always a go to item on the menu. Definitely add the blackened chicken and it's a great meal or shareable item. We also shared the buffalo chicken wrap, which had good tang and was enhanced with some nice crispy bacon. The fries that came with that sweat were some of the best I've had in recent memory.. Our server was ultra attentive, checking on us very frequently to see if we needed anything. She was truly amazing. The decor is a little bit dated, but it maintains a homey atmosphere. Our table top had some cracking on it from age. The restaurant is very clean. We won't stay away so long next time. Their pizza has always been very good so we'll have to try that again. read more

This was the first time I have ever ordered from here. I ordered the meat lovers pizza. I've never been here before so this was our first time at recovery room pizza. The pizza came out relatively fast, which would explain why it was very undercooked. The crust was very doughy- Even the Italian sausage topping looked raw. Not good. Probably will never visit this establishment again. I called right away, they offered a replacement but I didn't want to chance it. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday evening. Parking was easy in the back. We were able to get seated immediately. Inside is quaint. The menu has a variety of pizzas and dishes and appetizers. I like how the menu was arranged by white and red pizzas. We ordered the house salad because my friend said great things about it. It was tasty and a pretty good size. We then tried the Casey's hot oil pizza and liked it. It wasn't very spicy. The pizzas were a good size and we were able to bring leftovers home. The whole meal was a great deals with great prices! Overall very enjoyable! read more

This is thin crust, gourmet pizza in my opinion. Delicious! We always have a great meal when we visit.

I got the steamed Asian Chicken Dumplings, Olive Bread, and the Sausage pizza, and honestly the olive bread was pretty much the highlight of all three, and even then it was very salty. The olive bread came with a very nice pesto, Parmesan topping, which made for a delicious combo. The olives however, were too salty for me (personal taste). The sausage pizza that came out had a very homemade aesthetic and taste to it, like you could not go to dominoes for this pizza. We added jalepenos to it, however the jalepenos were very salty, rather than spicy. And the worst dish I've had in connecticut to this date was here, the Asian Dumplings. There is a saying, "jack of all trades, master of none" that I feel applies here, it's as if the chef costumed this dish in so many different cultural styles (east Asian, European, American) it ends up having an identity crisis, canceling itself out into low-light mediocrity out of the sheer pressure. In almost half the ingredients (corn, lemongrass) did not complement the meat in the dumpling at all, and stuck out like sore thumbs, and for some reason had a lettuce/kale bed (?), and the taste was just overall bland and bitter, and disappointing with no redeeming quality about them besides the aesthetic, all despite how much effort looked like went into the dish. The service was very polite, and we got our food within 15 minutes. The ambiance was noisy, and the music was very quiet, much on par for romantic dining scenes. read more

Visited half dozen times. Super friendly. Pretty good food/price. Definitely plan to visit again.

Underwhelming. Ordered salad with chicken, it was raw. New salad took 25 minutes to get. Excuse was they were too busy to cook chicken correctly. Still on Bill and never a true apology for ruining my date with my girlfriend. Will not be going back. read more

Visited Connecticut for the month and decided to try this place out. It's a smaller establishment with a good old time feel. We ordered aracinis, chicken parm and the tortellini. The warm bread they serve was great. The Arancinis reminded me of the ones I ate in Rome which were incredible. My fiancée liked the chicken parm. I didn't really like the tortellini but I think it's more of a personal preference (if you like tortellini, I think you'd love it). The service was top notch as well. I came back a second time to try their pizza and it was great. The crust and cheese was what I expected from a northeastern pizza. read more

We have been long time customers. Ordering delivery almost weekly. Today after placing an order I have place a half dozen times, I was called back to say that there was a $45 minimum for delivery. Just all the sudden. First of all that is an insanely high delivery minimum, especially since they have drivers on staff and aren't using a third party deliver service. Really disappointed. No food is good enough to eat of they treat you like shit. read more

We were told to come her to try "the best buffalo chicken pizza". We did. We ordered the 'Kris Dunn' and was not impressed. The chicken was breaded nicely however it lacked that authentic "buffalo chicken taste". The bacon had a nice smokey flavor but it was way too powerful for the pizza. The pizza tasted like we were eating a bacon pizza with hot sauce on it. I like bacon, but it was not enjoyable on this pizza, it was way too over powering and took away from the rest of the flavor of the pizza. We also had the Recovery Room Signature Tortellini with creamy alfredo pesto sauce. We enjoyed this more. The alfredo pasta sauce was unique. They had 3 different dining rooms (one with a bar) from when they must've extended the establishment. Seating was a tight squeeze. I believe they do accept reservations. read more

Went to dinner with a group of girls from high school & the food was excellent! Their bread is served warm & is delicious with their bottled oil & Parmesan. The service was wonderful. Attentive & courteous. The desserts were delicious. Their cheesecake is outstanding in several different flavors & the Italian lemon cake was light & creamy. Several different lunch, dinner & dessert options available. I highly recommend one of their large & delicious salads too! read more

Recovery room is my go to spot for a decadent salad in the area. If I'm working during lunch time I frequently find myself craving their Asian salad. It's got chicken, angel hair pasta, wontons, mandarin oranges, and tomato's over salad greens. It comes with the most delicious champagne honey mustard dressing that I adore. The chicken has a peanut sauce on it too. Sounds funky but I'm telling you this salad rocks. I love their chopped pasta salad too but the Asian is my favorite. Their pizza is great too and they frequently have wonderful soups of the day. read more

I really never give a middle of the road review. Doing so because this is a locally popular restaurant. I have been many times under various owners. I was there recently in a party of four. Service was great. Prices fair. Portions ample. The restaurant makes a clean and sanitary appearance. The food is not all that great. :( The pizza is not that thrilling. Salads are a good size but needed extra dressing. One of our entrees kind of sucked. The other was very good. I would have expected a meal like this at Olive Garden. . This would be a great place if firing on all cylinders. Otherwise just good bread and salads. read more

Came in a few days ago and had April as our server. It was my husband and i's anniversary & she was amazing! Was super personable and made sure we had everything we needed. She made us feel special on our special day. Would go back to see her. The food was decent, I got the tortellini and my husband got the chicken parm. The only reason I'm giving here a 2 star is due to the manager. We observed her being rude to staff while there. She made for a very uncomfortable environment. Other than that encounter we had a good night. read more

Manager and owner don't understand customer service. I asked for a food substitute lion due to diet restrictions and was rudely refused. Waitress was wonderful and tried to do it but manager refused. I was a regular but we will never eat here again. read more

My husband & I had dinner there tonight. He ordered a Rib Eye steak black in blue which is as rare as you can get. it came out medium rare and it was VERY tough. Definitely not what you would expect for $39. The waiter did not offer to take it back or to select something different. Also, nothing was taken off the check. My suggestion: if you go there, order pizza! That is usually good there! won't be going back any time soon! read more

Quaint little hang out we found when we decided to treat our son with some calamari. I would gladly say they make the BEST Calamari I've ever eaten. Parking is a little tight and venue itself is small, but their food is worth it. I was disappointed I had to buy the marinara sauce separately - if I bought french fries, do I have to buy the ketchup?! But, despite this - their calamari and marinara sauce is amazing and my son loved it. Great treat for our birthday boy. Thank you for such a tasty treat! Bar staff was really friendly and prompt with my order. read more

Amazing food. Great portions. The best chopped pasta salad around! Enough actually for two meals

A small hidden gem near the New London ferry. Was recommended to me by a client who frequents the area. Was the perfect place before heading over to Long Island. Got a beer, a pizza to split and a salad. All of which was so delicious I wish it was closer to my hometown. Reminds me of classic Italian fare. Give this place a try if you're in the area! read more

This place is great! Our server Jessica was very friendly and told us a lot about the menu and specials. I ended up going with the chopped pasta salad. It was very good and the portion was huge! I tried the meatballs, and I have never had a restaurant meatball that was good and actually tasted homemade. These meatballs are the best I've ever had in a restaurant hands down. I will be back soon to try more items on the menu! read more

Didn't feel like cooking tonight so we ordered to-go. The Chopped Salad, an Antipasto Salad and an order of Arancini Balls. We ate the Arancini Balls first. You get 3 in a creamy tomato sauce and they were delicious. Filled with melted mozzarella and so big, that we had maybe 4 bites of our HUGE salads! Definitely a must try if you've never been to this little gem restaurant! read more

Lots of specials and very reasonable prices. Honestly, you can't go wrong here! read more

We are regular customers. We went to dinner at 4:45. We always go on a Saturday. We were a party of 3. They told us we couldn't sit in the dining area but we could sit in the bar section because we had no reservations. A party of 4 came in as we were sitting. He told them that they had no reservations. They let them dine in the dining area. Needless to say we were upset by that. The bar area is crowded and loud. The outside door is constantly opening and shutting for takeout orders and other diners coming in. You should not treat one customer different than another customer.!! Post 18 read more

My husband and I were in New London, Connecticut for our minimoon and decided to give the pizza a shot from Recovery Room during one of our last days there. It was only a 3 minute drive from our Airbnb and we were craving pizza. So, we ordered the Zia Margarita and Eggplant Florentine, and it was a little more artisanal that expected. The crust was good, but maybe just wasn't our style of pizza at the moment. But the Eggplant Florentine did have a generous amount of spinach and we love spinach. We also had their soup of the day (Rhode Island Clam Chowder) because it was such a gloomy day. We walked inside to pick up our order and was greeted with lovely service! read more

All good made to order fresh and delicious. We had a table of 10 for an early dinner. Fast service huge portions! Definitely recommend

Just wow. This place is definitely a hidden gem! We ate out on the patio for dinner. The service was amazing, friendly staff who checked on us often. The prices were extremely fair, especially for what we got!! The shrimp brushetta was incredible! Big juicy fresh shrimp, perfectly crusty bread, flavorful sauce and fresh tomatoes! The chicken tortellini tasted like it was homemade! Such delicate and perfectly cooked pasta, absolutely amazing quality that made us feel like we were at a lot higher scale place than this, so very impressive! The pizza was loaded with toppings, the crusty was light and airy and crispy. The artichokes were juicy and flavorful. I even had some pizza leftover and it was just as good warmed up the next day! Although we didn't go inside, we peaked through the windows and the inside looks very nice, cant wait to come here again ! Highly recommend. read more

Went here for a quick bite, great food and amazing service. I visited this place for a quick dinner with my family. It was the first time we had been there and it was a decent experience. Our waitress was fantastic, she was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She was able to accommodate all our food restrictions and needs. Though the crust was a little hard/dry the pizza was good for the price and the salad was ginormous. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for good prices and good service. read more
