    Went with my son in law to the one in Norwich Town. I got the Italian Festivals. It has ravioli, stuffed shells, and manicotti. He got the lasagna and salad. He said the salad was excellent but the lasagna was not. The meat was dry because there wasn't any ricotta cheese in it and not enough sauce to keep it moist while cooking but was still edible. My dish was ok nothing to brag about. The ravioli and shells were not fully cooked had hard areas. But they had plenty of cheese inside. Could have used a little more sauce on them but that's because I like to taste the sauce as well as the cheese and noodle. We both really enjoyed the wine We usually have a wonderful experience so we will be back. The waitress was fine. The place was beautifully Decorated for valentines day. Of all the Illiano's there are the one in Norwich Town is my favorite place to go for Italian.

    So delicious. I thought it was take out when you first walk in but the dining area is hidden. The waitress was so nice and attentive. Should have been busier but we did go at 4. Chicken Marsala was different, but different good. Just not like I am used to. Hubby had across with angel hair and at every last bite. The bread with olive oils and garlic was very good, the waitress said it's pizza dough! So good.

    The dishes were amazing! I had chicken Alfredo pasta while my boyfriend tried the beef lasagna. The server was super kind and helpful. We went on Wednesday night; it wasn't crowded and had a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

    The food was so tasty! I ordered a classic cheeseburger and my sister had the grilled chicken sandwich. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We went on a Friday night, it was lively but not overwhelming. I'd recommend it for sure and will come back again!

    Not bad for ordering in for delivery. Food was tasty. Chick was not dry which was highly a great change from many other places I have ordered from. Illiano's, side salad, garlic bread and chocolate fondant cake. All of it went very nicely with my wine for the evening in. Ordered through door dash and food came nice and hot.

That's how I first learned about @brickandbasil in Yantic. I visited several months ago, but forgot to post my review. There was a bit of a hiccup when I visited. I drove about 40 minutes to get there, and when I arrived, I learned that they were closed for their first ever private Baby Shower party. I was crushed. But this story has a rated PG Happy Ending. I called the restaurant and spoke to Amy. I explained that I had driven a ways and asked if they could make me a pizza to go. They didn't take long to tell me that they would make me the first pizza of the day before the shower got into Full Swing. I was grateful for their hospitality, and terrific wood-fired pizza. I was inside briefly. They have plenty of seating and a bar that with decor suggesting a love of music. I ordered the Mama Mia and ate a couple slices outside. It had sliced meatball, roasted red pepper, mozzarella and ricotta on a good chewy Wood Fired Crust. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The red sauce had bright flavor. The ricotta was creamy and fluffy. Brick and Basil is well respected in pizza circles, and I can see why. It started as a food truck. But a food truck that starts with the word Brick, was bound to have a Brick and Mortar. And we're lucky they do. 5 Stars

The seats are all really comfortable looking, the service was fast, attentive, and friendly. The menu isn't vast, so there's faith that the food is being cooked for real. Tried today were: A slice of regular cheese and Sicilian cheese pizzas, a meatball grinder, and seafood ortolana (from the specials menu). Sicilian cheese - thick crust that wasn't too heavy. Very airy and crunchy. The sauce is a little sweet, but the overall slice was really good, especially with some parmesan added on top. Regular cheese - thin crust, crunchy but still pliable. This one needed the parmesan because I felt it was pretty bland on its own. Meatball grinder - soft meatballs with mild seasoning, that sweet sauce, melted cheese, on a bread that was toasted but not overly flavorful. A solid grinder that is acceptable in every way but not blowing you away. Seafood ortolana - while this is a special, I can see that they know how to mostly cook seafood (the scallops cooked way too long and were tough as a result, but the shrimp and calamari were just right) and pasta. I like that the vegetables were cooked to where they still had a bite to them, no one wants soggy squash. There was a flavor tone that I was never able to pin down, I thought maybe propane? jarred minced garlic?, something with a sweet back end but sharp front end. In any case, it hovered on the edges of every bite, becoming inescapable and not overly pleasant. In general, this is a good restaurant, I'll be trying other food here in the future and can say that I'm confident you could have a nice meal here too. In terms of handicapped access, their main parking lot has one spot, but then steps to get in. A single parking spot with ramp access is available on the back side of the restaurant, looks to be where employee parking is as well.

    I'm a little embarrassed writing this due to how often I frequent this place. I would just like to…read moresay that no, the$60 worth of food I am frequently picking up is not for me. I discovered this place late at night one night due to pregnancy cravings for potato skins. I literally googled "Norwich potato skins" and this wonderful establishment was the first result on Google. And I am so glad my cravings (fate) brought us together. Myself and the whole staff at my office have ordered so much of this menu that I'll just cover it by saying the food is consistently good. Family pizza joints in New England are a dime a dozen but the issue is they are rarely consistent nor is every item on the menu good. Tulli's is the exception. Salads are massive and fresh, the clam strips are fresh, pizza is delicious, grinders large and filling, chicken fingers are massive, and the potato skins....worth the Google search. I'm sure I'll be in sometime this week, picking up another massive order :)

From what I have gathered there's a crew that gets it, and a crew that doesn't give a crap. I've ordered the same thing the same way and get different amounts of meat each time. I pay for extra meat because they are a bit skimpy with their cold meats. I've paid for extra meat 5 times and have received extra meat twice and one of those correct times was because I ate there. The time I ate there was a quiet and pleasant experience. Tall blonde haired kid was my server, I say kid with respect, you can tell he's young but he was also very respectful. Everything came out timely and perfect. I'm not sure I'll be ordering takeout anytime soon. Could you imagine opening the grinders in store to make sure there's extra meat before ya leave? Cringe, no thanks. Just make it right to begin with. These sandwiches are not cheap especially when I'm gluten free and have to pay en extra $5 for the bread I can eat. The grinders are great when made to your liking, I'll give them that.
