An Outstanding Italian Restaurant - Highly Recommended!…read more La Piazza in Wallingford is truly a top-notch Italian restaurant. From the excellent, attentive waitstaff to the fantastic food, everything makes for a wonderful dining experience. I've enjoyed several dishes, including the gnocchi, Zuppa di Pesce, and chicken Parmesan. Every dish has been prepared to perfection. What impresses me most is the consistency. Every visit brings the same outstanding food, excellent service, and warm dining experience. That says a lot about the entire team. I highly recommend La Piazza to anyone looking for delicious Italian food and outstanding service. It's truly a gem in Wallingford, and I look forward to many more visits!

August 13, 2026 was our second time visiting La Piazza and we found our lunch to be tasty and the…read moreservice to be excellent. The place offers a pre fixe menu, allowing one to order a soup/salad, an entree, and a tirumisu for dessert. My wife had pasta fagioli, ravioli, and the dessert, which she shared with the rest of us. The soup and pasta were well-prepared, homemade quality, and the tirumisu was decadently tasty and presented very well. The rest of us ordered salads, two Caesar, and one spinach. We found the ingredients to be fresh tasting and LOADED with chicken. The portion sizes were huge and we each took ours home. We do not frequent this area very often, but it is a great midway point between us, so when we visit, we will definitely return to La Piazza for a great meal!

We ordered pretty quickly. We started out with a fried artichokes and we also got the meatballs. Those meatballs might be the best things I've ever had in the fried artichokes were absolutely delicious. For dinner, I got the special of shrimp and lobster and raviolis, which were a handmade pasta so very light and fluffy and the lobster stuffing had lobster meat in it and was very tasty. It was so good. I ate the whole bowl and had no leftovers! My friends all liked each of their meals and no one left with any doggie bags! They did offer us dessert But since we were going to a show, we did not have time for that. Highly recommended!

We were on the of the first few patrons for dinner that night and it got busy. Only thing I'd mention is because it got busy the service dropped slightly. Longer time to get water refills, dessert or the check. I'll overlook that as it still was a great meal and night out. If I got slightly more attention I'd have rated 5/5.

A favorite app was the fried Mozzarella, prepared differently than we have had anywhere else. As for the mains, a number of our group had the Chicken Parmesan. The chicken was very tender and the whole fish was delicious. We especially enjoyed our server, Debbie, who had us laughing and joking with her, and helped make the day even more special. And when it came time for the cake, which they graciously let us bring in, the owner, Michael himself, was cutting and serving it to us! No cake cutting charges or anything. All this at a very affordable price too! On our ride home back to Massachusetts, my wife and lamented that we don't have a restaurant like this one near us. You should check it out and ask for Debbie!

We were led to the back room which Was dingy and had dead flowers in the table in gross water. We stayed against my better judgement. We got the burrata special, it was good, main course was chicken and artichoke.. it was very unappealing. All piled in a plate with tons of tomato sauce on it, could even see what was eating. And was charged more for swapping the past for vegetable. $30. For a chicken dish that sucked. It kind of ruined the vibe of the night. I will never go back. Too many other actual good places. Service was okay but they didn't care I was disappointed. Sorry but this is an honest review. Food, service and ambiance can all be improved on. Best of luck to them

I have been going to Serafinos for a few years and it never disappoints. However, their reservation…read moresystem needs to be fixed. Twice I made reservations weeks in advance, only to find out it wasn't written down. I called to confirm a few days prior only to find out there wasn't one. The young lady on the phone was very pleasant and was able to squeeze us in 30 minutes earlier than the original reservation. The food is always made promptly and comes out delicious on a consistent basis. It never is a letdown. My favorites are the Chicken or Veal Serafino as well as the meatball grinders. Their pizza also holds a special place in my heart. We plan on going there for many years to come.

Boy were we pleasantly surprised. This was not New Haven-style pizza, but it did have a thin crust. The crust was much stiffer, but the bottom had a delicious crunch to it. The pizza also had plenty of their excellent sauce on it, but the best part was their thinly sliced meatball topping. My wife and I both agreed this was the best meatball topping we ever had. The staff seem to be very helpful and pleasant. The pizza was delicious, and we will definitely be returning. They also give you a reduced price if you pay with cash.

The greenery outside of the restaurant is so beautiful and on a beautiful day sitting outside would be a must ! I went to Viron Rondo for lunch with my family and we are glad we did. Although I want to be honest for families with little babies and toddlers. This isn't a family friendly spot. There is no changing tables in the bathroom or tables to place bags on in the bathroom. As a mother- this matters to me so want to help someone else out. The inside is huge and spacious though. The food is freshly made to order in nice huge portions!! Everything was delicious. But we did struggle to get our waitress. Service could use some help as dishes weren't removed from the table until asked. The bread that is provided is soft/flavorful and delicious !!! We got muscles for and appetizer and OmG !! So tender and sauce was so good I couldn't stop dipping the house made bread in it. My mom got the pulpo (octopus) for her lunch with a side of jumbo shrimp. Let me tell you that pulpo was tenderrrrr and one of the best we've ever had !! I had the apple salad with jumbo shrimp! First it's the best salad!! And it can last you for 3 days it's so much!! If they work on service I would so give this place 5 stars. (Oh and my aunt was charged for a club soda with lemon- that's another little downfall) but the martinis were perfectly made and worth the money for sure !!

My wife, must have mentioned it when she made the reservation. If the rest of the staff were so kind, it would've been a great night. The waitress was harsh and cold, and seemed to have a problem whenever we ask for a spoon, a drink, or some bread. She couldn't seem to hide the annoyance on her face. Except when a group of men took the table next to and she fawned over the them for the rest of the night. She must've known it was our anniversary, since the Host made a point of mentioning it, but didn't mention it, so maybe she had a problem with married people. This place has amazing reviews, but I guess it caters to local crowd that doesn't leave Cheshire very often and has been trained to eat mediocre Italian/Mediterranean food that you could easily get at Olive Garden. Left her a 10% tip and I was sorry that I left that much. I should've left zero.

The pizza was very good albeit too thin and overly crispy with little cell structure. The sauce was fantastic- one of the best pizza sauces I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. The bacon topping was plentiful and crispy. Where this king went wrong, in my opinion, was the amount of cheese that overwhelms a thin crust and generous slathering of sauce. I'd def order again but I'd be sure to request light cheese. A great pie, not a good pie, has the perfect ratio of crust to sauce to cheese to toppings. Oh so close. This pizza was better than the ones I've had at Fuoco (one of the other kings). The kings can take down their bravado and just keep making good pies. Also, the pizza was delivered really hot which was a nice surprise for pizza delivery.
