    Pasta Platter

    Tommy's is amazing!!! The food, the owners, the atmosphere- it is ALL amazing! My favorite pizza is the buffalo chicken pizza, dipped in Tommy's homemade Greek salad dressing! The Pasta Sampler is a must! If you're in the mode for a sub, the cold cut combo is the best one I've had ANYWHERE! Tommy's has such an old school pizza parlor feel, with jukeboxes (not working ones) at every booth! I instantly feel at home the second I step foot in Tommy's. Love it here!

    I went there today and ordered a large pizza with bacon onion and extra cheese. It was so overcooked I only had two pieces and tossed the rest. They must have had a different cook there today because their food was always good. I paid $27 in change for that pizza. And I tell you what I will never go there again. Very disappointed.

    Not a bad pizza place, but not fabulous either. The pizza was a little overdone, but still tasted okay because of all the gooey cheese. I actually don't mind pizza that's a little browned on top. If you're looking for thin crust New Haven style pizza or New York style pizza, this isn't your place. The crust at Tommy's was thick and chewy, but it did have a bit of crunch to it. Perhaps other menu items are better than the pizza. I liked the Greek-style idea they have going on here, but the interior leaves something to be desired. It felt slightly messy and disheveled inside. However, the service here was great. The staff was friendly and attentive.

    weird. i thought i wrote a review about this place and i got an email from Yelp HQ that one of my photos of Tommy's was inappropriate and being removed. So, I have no idea what ll that is about but I do remember the pizza I had when I was here, and you can even see it in my photos - two old reheated slices wrapped in foil. no box. unwrap the foil and a majority of the cheese sticks to the foil. sad slice. I also remember the flies. Oh yes, the flies buzzing around were quite annoying. I wanted to like this place, but the slice was unremarkable. I shop at the neighboring IGA often and would love to have a nearby go-to slice place, but this is not it. Maybe better if you go for pies. Tommy's shares a large parking lot in a strip mall with IGA and a bunch of other stores i dont remember. Noise level: Quiet, nobody is ever here. Good For: Cleaning out your intestines.

    Elvis Presley's hair had less grease. But it was tasty.

    Possibly the worst pizza I've ever had. Soggy (after 5 minute car ride home) and practically raw in the middle. Very disappointing.

    I love going to Sicily Pizza and last night my friends threw me a fun birthday dance party!…read more One of my favorite bands was playing there NUGR We are lucky to have a great server named Paul, who really spoiled us with making sure we had plenty of drinks in the most delicious food recommendations. We need more Paul's!

    I've come to Sicily on numerous occasions since they opened…read more The first couple of visits were decent and I had high hopes that Sicily would become a go-to spot, but it just never panned out. Over the past 2 years the service & food quality has been in steady decline. My most recent visit was inexcusable and I won't return. We decided to visit for "reverse happy hour" as an alternative from our usual thirsday night visit to Esca. We had Michael for our server and sat upstairs in the lounge. We were brought menus as we were sat and we ordered drinks to start, but weren't sure on food yet. Our server then proceeded to visit our table 4 times over the next 15 minutes to ask if we wanted to place a food order. It felt rushed. The vibe : awkward. The music was so loud I couldn't hear my server, my date or anything else besides the droning voice of Amy Grey. She had no spacial awareness and didn't know when to shut up. Incessantly talking over every song and not realizing that a bar gig is inherently different from the radio. The food : mediocre. We ordered steak frites from the happy hour menu which noted that the steak was "marinated". The 4 piece of tepid steak that came to our table were covered in this cloyingly sweet sauce that tainted the entire dish. Since the steak was served atop the fries, this sauce caused the fries (straight from the Sysco box) to become soggy and absorb the sauce which made the fries not so appetizing. We followed that up with a Cheese Pizza which was pretty good. The pizza here is their saving grace, and this place would do much better as just a slice shop. The drinks : abysmal. I started with a Skittles fruited sour from Transcend Brewery that Sicily had on tap. I was excited because it's rare to find their beer on tap outside of the brewery. It was served in the wrong glass. The F&B manager at Sicily needs to do a better job at making sure the bar is properly serving drinks. Teku glasses are essential for fruited sours. It didn't taste the same as it did in the brewery, however, for $6 I decided to just chalk it up to inexperience. I followed the beer with a Paloma, which was advertised as $5 for happy hour. When I ordered from my server I pointed at the menu showing the tequila listed for $5. As soon as I tasted the drink that was brought to me, i knew it was way off. I asked my server to ask the bartender what was in the drink because it didn't taste right. He told me that the bartender said "grapefruit juice", which is not the proper mixer for a Paloma. A Paloma only has 3 ingredients - Grapefruit Soda (Squirt or Jarritos are acceptable), Tequila & Lime Juice - it's a very simple cocktail. If you didn't have grapefruit soda, which is the main ingredient in the drink, just tell me that... I would have picked something else. The service : Impersonal & rushed. When i sent back the drink, the affect of our server visibly changed, almost as if he was angry or insulted that I would send back a drink that wasn't made properly. He asked if I would like something else, but my confidence in the bartender to make a proper drink had waned and I stuck with water for the rest of the night. My date continued with a 3rd glass of wine. About 10 minutes after this, my date got up to use the restroom, and our server came over and handed me a box for the remaining pizza, without asking if we would like anything else or if my date was done with her wine. He whisked away the half full glass and dropped our check effectively ending our visit. We weren't ready to leave. My date came back to the table and asked where the rest of her drink was and I explained the our server cleared the table and dropped the check. She said "I guess it's time to go". The nail in the coffin was when I picked up the check to see that I was charged for a $16 "Casamigos" cocktail. So i suppose if i had continued to drink the Paloma he would have been happy to charge me $16 for a $5 happy hour drink. The whole experience was off-putting and we didn't feel welcome. It felt as if our server was just trying to turn tables as fast as possible. I won't be returning and recommend others to stay far away.

    Amazing people and food taste great they really make it feel like your at home and it reminds me of…read moregrandmas cooking

    If you prominently post a sign in your restaurant that says "This isn't Burger King. You don't get…read moreit your way. You take it my way or you don't get the damn thing", you better be freaking phenomenal at what you do. Because you're announcing to the world that you don't really care about providing good service. Yeah. Yeah. It's meant to be a joke. But really, it's not. The person who would post that sign, really thinks they know better than you do. I basically get a slice of pizza from any restaurant I haven't been to that has a Slices sign. I was in the plaza for Giulia's Pizza and saw that slice sign. So I went in. I am only evaluating Giulia's based upon their Slice Selection and my slice of pepperoni. People who order a whole pizza may have a completely different experience. I have recently been to 4 other places that also feature pizza slices in the Newington, Berlin and Rocky Hill area and those visits establish a baseline for this review. Of the five places, Giulia's has the fewest choices. Cheese. Pepperoni. Veggie. In terms of display, Giulia's displayed the slices in the least appealing way. They were just kind of sitting there. No heated case. The cheese pizza seemed the most recently cooked, but the Veggie and Pepperoni had been sitting for a while. The tops were solid and the crust looked thicker than I would expect for a non-Greek Style pizza. I decided to try the pepperoni. It was brought to me more quickly than I would have expected after I ordered it. Not surprisingly, it was undercooked. It was OK, but the cheese was a bit of a mess texture-wise. The sauce didn't pop for me. The pepperoni could have been cooked more. The crust was chewy in a way that I didn't particularly enjoy. Of the places where I have recently had a slice, this was my least favorite. I've seen and heard this Burger King saying before. I don't think a business does itself any favors when it posts a sign like that. It's hard to root for the person who posts that sign. But you can get away with it . . . if you're great. At least with respect to the slice part of Giulia's business, Giulia's is not great. Two Stars
