This Italian restaurant is truly exceptional and consistently goes above and beyond every single time. Whether we’re dining in for a casual dinner or hosting a larger event with their catering, the experience is always outstanding. The food is absolutely incredible — authentic, flavorful, and made with such care. Every dish tastes homemade and fresh, from the sauces to the desserts. Whenever we’ve had parties catered, our guests always rave about the food and ask where it’s from. It’s become our go-to recommendation without hesitation. Beyond the amazing food, the service and attention to detail really set them apart. They genuinely care about their customers and it shows. We’re so lucky to have a place like this — highly, highly recommend! 🍝🇮🇹

I come here from time to time for lunch and it never disappoints. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating, the portions are incredibly generous, and the ambience is warm and inviting. It’s the kind of place that has a rhythm to it. Friendly voices, plates arriving like small feasts, the air humming with garlic and conversation. It’s the sort of lunch spot that quietly becomes part of your week, not just a meal but a mood. Highly recommend. 🍝🥗

This has been my go to for great Italian dishes for probably the last 20 years! Their chicken parmigiana is, IMO, the best in CT! It is always perfectly crispy on the outside and never dry in the middle and their marinara sauce also makes the dish. This time I opted for the grouper special, it came with potatoes and asparagus. The fish was perfectly flaky and very tasty. There are literally no wrong choices when it comes to D’amelios! The menu has so many great choices, then they have a specials menu too. They are also offering the cheese wheel on Wednesday nights during the fall and winter.

We had my daughter in laws baby shower at Hawk ridge winery and D'Amelios was one out of four vendors that they use. I am familiar with D'Amelios because I lived in Town Plot with my dad and we had family in Town plot. The food arrived piping hot and was delicious. Everything was good from the salad, pasta's,meatballs and chicken. Absolutely 100% top notch !! Thank you D'Amelios for the amazing food ❤️ We will be referring you and definitely will be calling upon you again. Thank you so very much. Oh yeah we did the light menu and you would have thought we did the bigger of the choices. It was nice to have some leftovers for a meal that evening and the next day because I definitely did not have the energy to cook the next day lol. Thank you again to D'Amelios we appreciate you. Thank you L

Cute Italian spot with super friendly service and hearty food. They have a lovely section of outdoor seating and a spacious indoor area as well. Their portions are also quite large (could easily be split into two meals) and have a nice little variety of desserts and coffees aside from their main entrees. My only gripe was we were really caught off guard by the pricing and not exactly sure it matched up. Something we will have to keep in mind next time and clarify. Left full, but confused.
