Cookie power.
Steven M.

It was a Friday morning in October when my wife and I returned to Connecticut for a wedding. We had to wake up and go to Marshalls to grab a dress shirt when we noticed that Chimirri's Italian Pastry Shoppe was located a few spots away so we stopped by to grab some baked goods for both a sugary breakfast and a gift for some friends we were about to visit. This small bake shop reminds me of Connecticut so much because of all the delicious bake shops around and I was very happy to be able to order a big chocolate chip cookie and some sort of marble style cookie with chocolate to go with it. We also grabbed a bunch of random cookies in a box for our friends and they absolutely loved them (I may of snuck a few too). Both of my cookies were solid enough, though I have to admit that this Canadian isn't the biggest Italian cookie fan, they tend to be a little dry for me but both still tasted good. Overall, Chimirri's Italian Pastry Shoppe was a great stop and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Would I give it five stars if I could order a gooey chocolate chip cookie? Probably, but this might be the best cookie for you.

Delicious cookies. Not over powered with almond extract like I've had at other places. Variety of cookies and pastries to choose from.

Hartford cream pie
Sho R.

Hartford cream pie was the best thing I had from here. It was not too sweet, but tasted really good. Cranberry orange square was a good plain simple cake I had. I also had a 3 scoop gelato - almond, hazelnut and pistachio. It was good. Arancini was ok.

We added our own cake topper

We used Chimirri's for our wedding cake. Lorena was great to work with, they delivered the cake directly to our venue for us. The cake turned out exactly how we requested, even with two different flavors for the layers. The cake was delicious. I highly recommend Chimirri's for your wedding cake!

Chimirri's is an Italian bakery in the plaza shared by businesses such as Utsav and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Got the makings of a "pretty nice little Saturday" right there. #oldschool I occasionally stop there for cookies, bread, pastries, cold bakery pizza, dessert or their CT famous Hartford Cream Pie (see what they did there?). They do a good job. This week, I visited Chimirri's for a cheese Danish and a crusty sesame grinder roll. What the cheese Danish lacked in my favorite type of cheese filling, it made up for with uber-freshness and ample icing. The fresh grinder roll was a great vehicle for my home assembly of ham, cheese, local tomato, pickled peppers, basil and Italian dressing. Awesome bread like that can really take a sandwich next level. Check out Chimirri's for your Italian bakery needs. Four Stars.

WOW.. So, I found this place because I got my COVID vaccine down the street and wanted some dessert before (what I thought) the side effects of the shot kicked in. Lo and behold, no side effects, but that didn't stop me from eating a TON of desserts. My personal favorite was the cannoli. Delicious.

Almond Cookies and Almond Mac (GF)
Karen C.

Great cookie selection that is perfect for the holiday season & beyond! We recently tried almond cookies made by a neighbor and went looking for them at Chimirri's do that we would not have to make them ourselves! Lol! Found them and they were fantastic at Chimirri's! Two kinds - Almond Cookie and Almond Mac (GF) - both are delicious! A nice crunchy exterior with soft interior. Yummm!!! I also got the raspberry pockets, apricot pockets, raspberry kiss, apricot kiss and chocolate lace cookie. What a selection! 2 lb box is $30. We got 2 dozen Almond cookies & Almond Mac for $18.50. All the cookies are super fresh! We will be back for more!

"And tastin' defeat, lovin' that sweet surrender" (Bread - Sweet Surrender) You might as well surrender now, because I don't care how strong your will power might be, it will be no match for the sweet things that will tempt you in Chimiri's . Cakes, cookies, pies, biscottis, cannolis, eclairs, pastry squares, danishes, turnovers, cupcakes, brownies, beautiful towering platters of cookies, and beautiful wedding cakes. Pricing is super reasonable too ! We bought a half pound of coconut chocolate cookies, a Nutella pastry square and a wedge of Hartford Cream Pie and barely cracked eleven bucks. That's a pretty good value for some top notch and top of the line fresh goodness. What a totally sweet place !

Italian Fruit Cake - my absolute favorite.
Elisa F.

I have the same photo on my phone of all my birthday cakes through the years from Chimirri's. I request the same cake every year for my birthday and it HAS to be from Chimirri's (and each year I take a picture). The Italian Fruit Cake stuffed with whipped cream, fresh strawberries and peaches. TO DIE FOR! Countless cookie platters, cannolis, and desserts have filled our tables during holidays and special events. This is one of the only Italian bakeries my family trusts! Most recently we tried their cherry pie and it was wonderful! Didn't taste like your typical cherry pie and that's what I liked most about it! From looking at this little shop stuck inside Wethersfield Shopping Center, you wouldn't think much of it, but step inside and forever be changed!

ricotta square
Frank W.

I stopped in an hour before before closing time on a Sunday and, while the selection was less than usual, it still included enough delicious looking pastries that I had a difficult time making a choice. I finally settled on a pair of chocolate mousse that proved to be delicious. Also included in my order were 2 slices of Sicilian cheese pizza for lunch that were outstanding. Lastly, the employees have been uniformly friendly.

Cheesecake and red velvet cupcake
Lamarr E.

Stopped by this gem while running to UPS. Small local bakery in a big plaza, so if you blink you ll miss it. Tons of delicious looking breads, cakes, cookies and pies. I got two slices of pizza, a slice of cheesecake, and a red velvet cupcake all for $10 dollars! I really loved the bread on the pizzas, really flavorful and fluffy. The desserts were super rich, more on the custard side but not a problem for me. Overall, It's always great to support local small businesses and I'm happy I stopped by for lunch.

I was in Connecticut for a wedding a few weeks ago and ended up in old Wethersfield around dinner time, so obviously we had to return to my wife's old pizza place to order up a pizza. The place was absolutely packed when we arrived so we decided to just order a large pizza to go, half pepperoni and half sausage and meatball. The pizza took maybe twenty minutes or so to make and when it was done, well, it looked absolutely spectacular. My half of the pizza was the sausage and meatball and it was like a whirlwind of nostalgia punching me in the mouth with each and every bite. The crust was perfect, the sauce was perfect, the toppings were perfect, and the overall pizza was everything I've been craving for over a year since my last visit to the nutmeg state. Overall, Village Pizzeria & Family Restaurant is everything you expect from a central Connecticut pizza joint. The restaurant looks cozy and nice inside, the staff was super busy but still friendly, and the food was top notch. This place is definitely an old Wethersfield gem.

I may or may not be contemplating a couple of Tums. I'm conflicted on this 2/5 rating since I wish there was a 2.5/5 option here. There are some promising things about Frank Pepe's: a coal-fired oven, photos of the same white clam pizza I ordered that look more like pizzas I had in Italy than the one I got, and other options for toppings that might work out better. Perhaps asking for light garlic and maybe the addition of the calabrian chilies from the seasonal special pizza (or pickled jalapeños, if available) would've fixed the balance (and topping palatability) of this pizza. A different pizza also may be substantially tastier, but goshdarnit, we're close enough to the ocean that I'd like to think the white clam is a slam-dunk. It's even listed in neon in the window! As ordered, unchanged, off the menu, though, I feel like I need to leave this state for a pizza just to feel something. Connecticut calling itself "the pizza state" has thus far been a lie; a cruel joke wherein a few outstanding outliers try to gloss over the fact that most of the state's pizza is mid-to-bad. "Mystic Pizza" being one of the state's most famous audiovisual exports sort of fits given that the availability of standout pizza here appears to be a mystical unicorn I've yet to find after moving here last year. Pepe's gets serious props for using large chunks of clams that don't look like the typical, uniformly cut, restaurant-supply-can chunks, but they were a bit rubbery and almost completely drowned out by the amount of garlic. It's like they were cooked too long, and the moisture from the clams evaporated accordingly. The crust had a little crunch to it as well, but lacked the crispy bubbles and heavier charred spots I expect from this style of pizza and from the assorted menu photos. Either go foldable or go harder on the fire--anywhere in between lands in disappointment territory. Commit to a bit. $8 a pint is a bit much for basic beer selections like Sam Adams and Peroni, too, but that's sort of my least concern. We live in Hell where everything is expensive lately, and at least beer prices haven't shot up as badly as gas prices. I probably should've ordered the sangria in hindsight. White peach? Here for it. Also, the staff was friendly, and service was prompt. I really should give it a second chance with a more traditional tomato-sauce pizza, or maybe a margherita. If you go, expect it to fall short of the hype unless whoever made the nicely bubbly white clam pie in the photos posted here is manning the oven. Unless you like garlic as much as I like cheese, consider asking to go light on the garlic for a better-balanced pizza if you order this one.
