Violi's Restaurant

Passing through stopped in..thinking golf course off season?? So happy we stopped. The food was excellent and pricing good for entrees. Relaxing upscale atmosphere..perfect! Three of us=Veal Marsala, lasagna and stuffed shrimp soup lobster bisque. Delicious. Soup or salad included too.

I've only been here twice, and both times were memorable. Bartender even remembered me haha. I strongly recommend the prime rib on Thursdays! I dod not take a picture of it, sadly. But the burger and wings were also amazing!

We had a "meh" experience at Violi's. We had never been there before, and were definitely treated like outsiders, like we didn't belong, and our presence was merely tolerated. I had the Lobster Ravioli and my wife had the Chicken Marsala. We agreed that the red sauce had a really nice home made flavor. My wife liked her chicken, and I enjoyed the ravioli. Unfortunately we forgot our leftovers. 😥 We really were looking forward to having them the next day. However, due to the atmosphere, we won't be going back.

Mediocre food quantity at best. My steak, was ordered medium rare and was served as a cool medium rare, so I can’t complain too much there, other than I was a very fatty cut. (It is what it is). Because of the almost properly cooked stew, they’ve earned their 2 stars from me. Violi’s does not earn any other because of the leather tough veal piccata, the BOILED chicken Marsala, and because of my empty iced tea. You can’t tell me it wasn’t boiled…unless it was microwaved fully. My tea was empty for about 15/20 minutes, then when the waiter came by filling waters, the pointed and requested a refill. He said he couldn’t hear me because it was too loud, which I’ll agree with, but contextual hints of the environment and each of our respective roles would lead the reasonable person to think I

Violi's in Meriden, CT, is undoubtedly the most picturesque restaurant in town, offering the best views and an unforgettable dining experience. This special spot holds a dear place in my heart, as it's where my husband TJ and I were married in 2007. Ever since, Violi's has been our go-to for special occasions, especially our anniversary. The fettuccine carbonara at Violi's is my absolute favorite—nothing else compares. The rich, creamy sauce and perfectly cooked pasta are simply divine. And let's not forget the garlic knots, which are out of this world! With its charming ambiance and impeccable service, Violi's is the perfect setting for any celebration or romantic evening. If you're looking for a place to make lasting memories, Violi's is the place to be.
