Marissa was the best! Food and atmosphere was wonderful We love the outdoor atmosphere. read more

Still the most excellent pizza for miles, with the crispy thin crust! The garden salad is big enough for two (bottle dressing). The decor hasn't changed for decades, kind of a home away from home. It was nice to return after a long break. read more

Owner is insane about his parking lot and will yell at your for parking there to go in to eat. Total nut job and food is far below average especially with the other options around. read more

"Anthony works in the grocery store Savin' his pennies for someday" (Billy Joel) Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to tonight's main event, the Chef Salad Rumble. In this corner is the last Chef Salad I reviewed, hailing from Granby CT, let's hear it for Gio's Brick Oven Pizzeria & Pub. And in the far corner is this week's challenger, hailing from Torrington, CT, let's hear it for Anthony's Restaurant. Anthony's sells their Chef Salad in two sizes -$9.95 and $13.95. We went for the "small" at $9.95.and the word "small" is an understatement. Their small is LOADED with 11 ounces of ham, turkey, roast beef, and provolone. I know it was 11 ounces, because that thick log of deli was so huge, I couldn't believe it, so I weighed it on my food scale. That's more than 2/3 of a pound of stuff, over a big salad of lettuce, cucumber, big tomato slices, shredded carrots, and a full hard boiled egg. Oh, and it comes with two big slices of fresh Italian bread, so the "small" easily gave us two big portions. So how does last week's Gio's salad compare. Well, if this was a boxing match the referee would have stopped the contest. Gio's cost $10.99, didn't include bread, and the serving of cold cuts paled in comparison to what we got at Anthony's. So Anthony's Chef Salad cost less than Gio's and gave us a ton of more stuff. Anthony's is a very cool little family restaurant with seafood, pasta, veal, chicken, and steak entrees, along with grinders, paninis, pizzas, and the salads. If I lived in Torrington, I'd sure be a regular. read more

My family and I are new to this area. Since we moved here, we've been trying to find a pizza place that is hopefully close to those in New Haven. The pizza wasn't fully cooked. The taste was off and I don't know why. Later one after eating the pizza, my husband got really sick from it and all the pizza came up. I wouldn't say not to give them a try, but I don't think I'll be ordering from them again. read more

FOOD for a "non-foodie" AWESOME!!!!! .. THE... and I say "THE" best I have had.... .I hesitate EVERY time I order out.. I have ruptured ulcers and am SO limited on what I can eat and what I WANT to eat.... I am new to town.... tried it last weekend and honestly ... the BEST garlic bread and pizza, not to mention chef's salad I have had in DECADES..... Superb... it is now becoming a Friday fave.... read more

Good food . Good service . Authentic Italian eats. Every entrée comes with a soup or salad. There is plenty of items to choose from. A good pizza selection. A few American dishes such as burgers , chicken tenders, fries, and wings. Several salad options . Desserts options are available. They also have Foxon Park sodas . Everything is good here. Hope you enjoy! read more

This was probably the worst pizza I ever had. Did not taste good and it was paper thin.... Some spots the cheese was holding pizza together. ... I couldn't believe it !!! Definitely never goin back !! read more

Don't pass this place by .. extensive Italian menu. Great service. Delicious food. 6 of us popped in on Sunday and all of our meals were delicious. Sooo good didn't even stop to take pics. Prices are reasonable Reminded me of sunny side grill back in the day read more

Dined in w/ the wife last weekend. Waiter seemed very inexperienced, but friendly. My wife ordered the chicken parm dinner, I went with a small sausage pizza w/ extra cheese. Meals were good, pizza was excellent, as always. Big problem was the portion size with my wife's chicken parm -- small overall, only one patty, but still tasty. And they charged us $20 for it. Felt a bit ripped-off, but didn't say anything to the waiter at the time. Talked to a co-worker who frequents Anthony's often, he said we must have be given the lunch portion, and we were charged for a dinner. That makes sense, most likely it was the waiter's fault and we just didn't catch it at the time. There was only one other table occupied when we had been there, and we overheard that they had a problem with their order also. Still love their pizza, I won't let one sub-par experience keep me from coming back in the future. read more

We've been coming here for over 30 years. I know Anthony & Cadia retired but they passed down their recipes. Tonight we had our favorite Ciaciorra pizza. Thin, crispy crust! Just as delicious as always. Jason, our server was gracious, as is all the staff. Whether we have pizza or a meal, it's always great! If you've never tried it, make a point of it, you won't be disappointed. read more

Anthony's Restaurant - La Ciociara Red Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Torrington, Connecticut

The food is very good. I love the Chicken Marsala, the appetizers are great. For a Italian restaurant I wish they would carry Pellegrino Sparkling Water. I Used to know the original owner and still see him occasionally as I believe he still cooks there but the new owners you hardly see as I think he hardly comes out of the kitchen. I would say, however that's the only downfall. I think he should come out and meet the guests. The restaurant seating is small. read more

I usually order from North End Two Guys Pizzeria but they dropped the ball game so I was checking around and I realized I never ordered from Anthony's before, and I am glad I did. In their antipasta salad you get huge slices of meat and cheese with lettuce, cucumbers,tomatoes and carrots. The Mozzarella Sticks are bigger, kids chicken fingers come with 3 and fries, I am pretty happy. Anthony's just picked themselves a new customer read more

First timers. Ordered pizza. It was delivered hot and we loved it. Tomatoe sauce was great! We will be back!

Under New Ownership. Noooo! Bread is still delicious, but The large pizza shrunk and was actually a medium at best at the same price and was double cut and had very little sauce which gave it little taste. Fries were double fried so we're dried out crispy and burger roll was seasoned with something like "everything spices" like you find on an everything bagel. Was also overcharged a $1 for my cocktail, but after everything else , that wasn't important Waitress had no mask, but other waitress did. I like being served by masked waitresses Vaccine or not. Think all wait staff should be masked. An hour and twenty minutes for a burger and pie and had to bring our own check up. Missing the old Anthony's! read more

Anthony's Restaurant - Do these look like large slices to you? 1/2 a large pie fit into a small pizza box. Oui! - Pizza Near Me - Torrington, Connecticut

Probably the best pizza I have had so far in the Northwest corner of CT. I grew up on New Haven pizza so I'm a bit of a pizza snob.

Always dependable for a nice meal. Love their pizza and especially the broccoli and sausage appetizer !!!

Pizza, by it's very nature, is subjective. That said, Anthony's has always been my favorite pie. Thin crust, but with a nice level of char. Dough is stellar, buttery and bubbly along the perimeter. The Ciociara is a highlight - chicken, cherry peppers, tomatoes and pesto (available as a red or white pie). An extensive selection of traditional Italian-American fare rounds out the menu. The interior, while relatively small, is clean and the service consistently on point. Highly recommend, and I dare say, a well-kept secret. read more

This was my second visit to Anthony's and I brought my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. From the start, it was a great experience. Our waiter, Jason, had a great personality which made the evening more fun. He also was able answer any question we had about the food and drink. We all enjoyed our entrees which were prepared very well. I had pasta with a fra diavolo sauce and it was the best I have ever had. Usually the sauce is either not spicy enough or so spicy you can't taste the sauce. Anthony's sauce was very spicy, which I like, but not so spicy that it killed my taste buds. The sauce was very favorable. The restaurant itself had a very cosy, casual feel. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. read more

we order pizza from there every week, sometimes a few times during the week, we ordered on doordash. half mushroom, pizza arrived all mushroom, this is the 3rd time it has happened, I call Anthony's they say there sending me another pizza. I receive a call 2 mins later saying that the owner needs me to call DoorDash to call the restaurant. I can't get in contact from anyone at DoorDash to make that happen. anthinys said there tablet said my order did say half mushroom but the ticket came out all mushroom. He took back the pizza he was going to give me for the mistake back and told me there was nothing he can do, for a mistake that wasn't made by me. very poor customer service from a owner. sad to say we will not be ordering from Anthony's anymore. read more

I gave this wonderful spot five stars last year because the pizza was just superb, and if there's one thing I know as a 567-year-old born and bred Yorker, it's pizza. Then I saw that some very strange man recently posted some really rude stuff about the pizza, so I had to go back...to discover that, like last year, and the year before, Anthony's pizza was GREAT. Is GREAT. Tomato sauce not sweet; cheese terrific, crust the kind that if, like me, you don't eat it first time in, you can dip what's left of it into olive oil (salt, pepper, oregano). You know what I think now? That guy had the wrong restaurant. read more

Ordered chicken Marsala to go. Great meal, complete with a fresh salad, warm bread, pasta side and mashed potatoes fir the awesome sauce. Staff friendly and order was ready on time as well as nice and hot. Thank you!!! read more

Best wings in town! Both buffalo & BBQ! Great pizza, and chicken parm too! Always enjoy our conversations with the staff as well! If you haven't stopped there, put it on your to-do list, you'll be happy you did! read more

This restaurant looks like an ordinary pizza place, but the Italian dishes taste like something from a high-end Italian restaurant. We've sampled some different and interesting dishes, along with the standards and they are all just delicious. The manager is also the bartender and she makes a strong drink. If you like garlic, ask for her dipping sauce for the delicious bread that comes standard with your meal. read more

Very disappointed with our experience here last night. We generally enjoy Anthony's, however, the last couple of times we have ordered, it's been awful. Last night, we called at 4:50pm to place a delivery order. The young woman who answered was very rude and kept putting us on hold. The order didn't arrive until 6:30 (almost 2 hours), and when we called to find out the status of the delivery, that same young woman put us on hold and then hung up. The order finally arrived and both of the burgers we ordered were incorrect and undercooked. We called back one final time and were told that the manager is "too busy to come to the phone." It seems like this restaurant doesn't know how to perform correctly at peak hours and they become very flustered. Not sure if we will return. read more

This spot is a place i truly never went to till last year! My family loves the pizza here and loves the people! They are always so kind and caring and such a family friendly environment! read more

The best pizza in Torrington. Anthony trained with Pepi in New Haven. My favorite for years and years.

My husband and I decided to try Anthony's for lunch today and enjoy their outside dining area due to the virus and not feeling too comfortable eating inside just yet. Our waitress was very nice, she Informed us that we were her first table and this was her first waitressing job. My husband ordered the half eggplant parm/ side salad lunch combo and I had the lunch chicken Francese. The salads were crisp and fresh, bread was tasty. My chicken could've been a bit more lemony but it was overall pretty good, I've had better and I've had worse. My husband said the eggplant grinder was ok. While it was a bit humid out, the outdoor area was nice and private. Maybe a couple fans would've been helpful to make the area a bit more breezy but overall it was nice. We probably wouldn't t go out of our way to goto Anthony's again but I am curious to try their pizza since every review says how good it is. read more

HORRIBLE!!! I've had better frozen pizza. Absolutely tasteless. The only reason I'm giving it one star is because I can't give 0. Don't waste your money. read more

Spaghetti and meatballs...how hard is that? No meatballs. A bunch of morans. Torrington rejects!

Just love this place. Order my small mushroom pie, extra fresh n chilled salad, and Peroni on tap. A bliss moment that is a bliss you can always count on. Solid specials, but I think best pie in NW Connecticut. read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside, or even the inside, but this local joint is family style Italian at it's finest. We tried a little of everything, pasta, grinders, salad, the bread, and it was all fantastic! Large portions! Great service!!! read more

Anthony's Restaurant - Simple ham and cheese on their fresh house made bread for the little guy - it's bigger than him! - Pizza Near Me - Torrington, Connecticut

I really like this place. I don't come often as I can't really afford to go out often, both from the pocket standpoint and waistline standpoint, but if I want authentic Italian food, this is where I go. It is worth every single penny. The decor is not much to write home about, but it gets the job done. The food does all the talking. I have loved everything I have had here, including the lasagna, fettuchine alfredo, or just the straight up spaghetti and meatballs. For authentic italian food in Torrington, I really don't know if it gets any better than this place. read more

It's a very small, brightly lit family atmosphere, but the food is sensational. Traditional Italian recipes and a great staff make this place very worthwhile. Their sauce is sweet and savory, and the bread is always fresh and tender. I recommend the veal parmagiana. Mangia! read more

The first local pizza we tried moving up here almost 2 years ago. And still one of our favorites. Great food always tastes fresh. We have never dined in but the staff seems pleasant. The pizza ALWAYS on point. Quality, freshness, and consistency. We will absolutely keep coming back. read more

I don't typically review restaurants as I know it's a tough business but I can't let this experience go. We have eaten here before and the food was good but last night it was a nightmare. Our waitress was great when she wasn't being berated by the other one which just added to the experience. The bread was good and our hot antipasto was ok but then all bets where off. My wife ordered the manicotti and it came out cold. The top cheese was brown and crisp like it had been cooked, refrigerated, heated up then cooled down. The cheese was coagulated and cold and the pasta alternated between crunchy and soggy. Needless to say she left most of it, yummy! I had the Zuppa Di Pesce Fra Di avolo which I can't even describe. The fish was ok but the flavor was nothing I have experienced, let's just say not good. My daughter was the smart one, she ordered pasta with olive oil and Italian sausage. The pasta was fine, it's hard to mess that up but do not eat the sausage. It looked bad from the start and she tried to take a bite but the smell stopped her and she put it down. I cut a piece off and smelled it. It was like it had been cooked a week before, refrigerated uncovered then put out in a bowl with some cold sauce. I don't think my dog would eat it and he eats soap. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

Loved the pizza, and the owners are really sweet and authentic Italians! But one thing to improve is cleanliness. It smells old, and for that reason we won't be going back to eat in the actual restaurant. Take out is okay. I hope they update. Torrington needs good quality dining experiences to attract more people and make Torrington an actual destination, and unfortunately this place loses out on a great opportunity to be a top restaurant in the area. Food is very good. Just need a couple thousand dollars and a little make over. Good luck! read more
