I get FBC everywhere and no one does it as I enjoy them here. Do you like small bellies? Do they get too unctuous? Then get out of here! They were market price today, so $32.99 but it is worth every cent. The familial staff will take care of you, I know for fact that the rest of the menu is similarly spectacular. I grew up a NL boy, and OP is the best restaurant there is.

I remembered we stopped here a couple of years ago and it's time to return. I had the chicken parm grinder with fried peppers and it was so melt in your mouth tasty I could eat it again right now. The cheese was gooey and stringy while keeping the chicken crunchy (how did you do that?). My son had the gluten free pizza with bacon and ate the whole thing. Nice crunchy crust, pizza wasn't too watery as gluten free sometimes is. Excellent meal and friendly service. Solid choice in the area!

Amazing service, reasonably priced food, and a calmer environment to chat and digest it all in :)…read more I really loved our server (I believe her name was Jess)! She was so kind and attentive; she even brought out a second serving of the complimentary bread which was soft, warm, and fresh. Delicious with their olive oil! Food: - gnocchi: this came piping hot and I liked it! very generous portion but I felt like the tomato sauce tasted a bit off or was missing something. - tortellini: this was stellar. We got it with the pesto which I definitely think is the move. So flavorful and dense! Flavor packed.

We went to Recovery Room Pizza to try a local pizza joint in New London. It is the epitome of the…read morelocal New England pizza joint, a small storefront place with tables spread across a couple of rooms. The menu is true Italian community food. The service was excellent, especially since we were a party of six and descended on the place unannounced. My wife and I did order pizzas - she ordered the shrimp and artichoke pizza and I ordered the Margarita pizza. She loved her choice and gave it a score of ten out of ten. I gave my Margarita pizza a four out of ten and think that that was generous. My complaints - the crust was quite wimpy, undercooked, and the entire pizza was overpowered by the basal pesto! I have never had basil pesto, or any other pesto, on a pizza! I will give the Recovery Room another chance and will try the Margarita pizza again. But, I will ask for fresh basil and be specific that the pesto is not to contaminate the pizza. My long experience with pizza making is that they must be cooked on a stone and the oven must be 500F or higher to get the crust the way I like it. The Recovery Room most likely takes its name from the Lawerence Memorial Hospital which is just a couple of blocks away from the restaurant.

They had a more extensive drink menu available with various mixed drinks and wine. The servers/waiters were attentive without being too invasive. The caprese salad was delicious and filling. The PEI Gorgonzola Mussels were good. I was expecting more of a gorgonzola flavoring so it missed the mark slightly for that. They were perfectly cooked. The short rib was tender and the grilled swordfish was amazing without any of the sides. The warm apple crostata should definitely be shared with others. It was warm, flaky, and balanced well with the caramel drizzle, whipped cream, vanilla gelato. This place is perfect for an intimate dinner, bar seating, or group! Plenty of space for all!
