There is large tree in the center of the space that immediately makes you feel at ease, as if entering the garden at an Italian villa. The lighting is muted and the interior is tastefully modern with leather chairs and white tablecloths. Our server Corina was very friendly and welcoming, answering our questions and making us feel at ease there. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass as well as bottles. We had Mascarelli montepulciano and Whispering Angel rose, both very good. I also had a Bourbon Peach Smash, a peach-y version of an old-fashioned that was tasty and refreshing. We started with burrata - amazingly fresh creamy mozzarella served with crostini, "cherry bomb" tomatoes and aged balsamic. Great way to start the meal! For our mains, we had chicken parmesan (extremely fresh and tender chicken & mozzarella with a hearty red sauce) ordered with a side of broccolini and their pork chop (grilled, red chimi, fingerling potatoes) - a thick and tender chop that was one of the best I've ever had, and the red chimi added a delightful little zing to it. For dessert, we ordered the affogato (wonderful vanilla gelato drowned with expresso at the table) - wonderfully decadent and delicious.

The complimentary Parmesan cheese they serve you in so darn good, I wanted to eat the whole plate. I opted for their Malfaldine Pasta and it didn't disappoint. However, after trying some of the rigatoni pasta I would definitely order that next time! It was so flavorful and the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The only miss for us were the mussels; on the fishy side and not edible for us. For dessert you must get the affogato!

The staff was still as pleasant and lively as ever. The owner was there also came up to greet us with a huge smile. The waiter Charlie had to come to our table a few times because we were distracted with cheerful conversations. Nevertheless, he was pleasant the entire time. We settled for Hawaiian pizza, two chicken Parmesan entres, and a Chicken Cacciatore Pizza. I will highlight that it was a lot of food. Chicken parm was perfectly crispy and great amount of sauce. However the winner and surprised for me was the Chicken Cacciatore Pizza. Wow it was like they really made a mini Chicken Cacciatore dish into a pizza. The flavors and ingredients were all there. The onions, peppers and mushrooms were still so crunchy but flavorful I was taken aback. I would have thoughts those veggies would have over cooked. I have been here many times and love their BBQ Pizza and Chicken Buffalo. I was so glad I tried something different this time. Here you will love the food and the people.

She had a huge smile and was very pleasant. The food was outstanding. I had shrimp scampi at it was the best shrimp scampi I have ever eaten. The capers on the dish added a very vibrant flavor. Such a nice compliment to the main flavors. My partner orded a vegetable penne dish but substuted capalini for the penne. The dish was rich and flavorful. She had a glass of Pino Noir. The wine was delicious. Although the restaurant has no windows the murals on the wall really made you feel like you were in Italy. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Everything came to the table quickly, and we were also given complimentary bread along with olive oil for dipping. I feel that the garlic knots and bread may have been better served with some sauce, but they were both good starters. Once the pizza was placed on the table my entire party was silent apart from the sounds of the occasional grunt of approval. The crust was perfectly cooked providing enough firmness so as not to fold or drop any toppings while also avoiding any char from the oven. The entire party is excited to make a return so that we can try more of the specialty pizzas available.

The crew here is fantastic. They're friendly, quick, and every single time I've come in for carry-out, they've slipped me a little bite to try while I wait. Not sure if that's just how they treat everyone or if I've got a standing reservation for VIP treatment at this point, but either way, it's the kind of small touch that makes a place feel like home even when you're only passing through once a year. The grinders are consistently great, and honestly the food alone would keep me coming back - but it's the people that make Nino's stand out. If you're ever in Uncasville, stop in and tell them I sent you ;)

It is an unassuming building on the side of the road, in the middle of a neighborhood. It is about 10 minutes south of Mohegan Sun. Donatello's With A Twist definitely offers a twist! They serve a wide variety of options: American breakfast, sandwiches & burgers, Puerto Rican dishes & Italian fare. Hubby enjoyed playing the free Pac-Man video game as we waited for our food. There are a couple of seats inside & a little garden outside. Most people took their food to go. There are 7 - YAAASSSSS SEVEN! - mofongo options on the menu. Ummm... yes, please! For the uninitiated, mofongo is a dish from Puerto Rico featuring plantains as its main ingredient. They are picked green, cut into pieces & typically fried, then pounded in a wooden pilón (mortar and pestle) with a variety of spices, broth & some type of cooking oil . If you are a fan of Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, you know that he is a mofongo freak. I've had mofongo before & definitely enjoy it, hubby was new to the experience. We selected the Shrimp Creole Mofongo & it was spectacular. We heard the pounding of the plantains in the back as we waited for our food so I knew it was being made special for us. The mound of mofongo was flavorful, the shrimp were large & perfectly cooked in a spicy red sauce with a little salad on the side to cool things off. We also ordered the Chicharron De Pollo with Tostones. I thought it was going to be a harder fry on the chicken but the dark meat was yummi. The tostones were perfectly fried & the highlight of this dish. Hubby can't pass up a steak sandwich so he ordered a large Boricua Steak Bomb. HOLY COW! The sandwich was ginormous!!! A ton of steak with a good amount of melty cheese topped with a spicy sauce. Hubby loved it! I saw a guy order a slab of meat & I went up afterwards to inquire what it was. A perfectly fried chicharrón - fried pork belly. It was a good combination of meat, fat & crunchy bits. As a German, I was introduced to grilled schweinebauch as a kid. It is not everyone's cup of tea because of the fat content & idea of eating pig's stomach but I love it. I should have bought another one to take with me for later! Donatello's makes a number of fresh juices & we ordered the passionfruit which was a refreshingly sweet & sour combo. They also sell desserts but we were so full that I didn't even look to see what was offered. If you are in the area, I would recommend stopping by Donatello's With A Twist to try some of their special dishes. It is a celebration of flavor & culture!

When I got the salad home we realized it wasn't even a Greek salad. No olives, peperonconi and FETA cheese. so what we discovered is they just provided Sub quality chicken salad in place of the Greek and the chicken was over cooked. Funny thing here is they charged me $19.99 because I added rubber chicken. (THAT SALAD WAS ONLY $12.99) on their fake menu , and not even a Greek style salad. People you should study the menu and check before you leave this place. you may get mice in place of chicken. or worse. cat in place of meatballs. Who knows. If they don't even know what their own menu is. I don't get it.
