Wonderful Family Dinner at Impasto in Groton! We had a wonderful family dinner at Impasto Restaurant in Groton, and it was truly a memorable experience! We started with the garlic knot rolls, served with three different dipping sauces. They were delicious and the perfect way to begin our meal. The Lobster Carbonara was outstanding! It was loaded with generous pieces of lobster meat and served with freshly made pasta. The combination was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also brought home a Grandma's Pizza, and it did not disappoint. The pizza was perfectly baked, with just the right amount of cheese and fresh tomato slices. The flavors were perfectly balanced, making it a wonderful pizza to enjoy at home. For dessert, the Mango Gelato was absolutely delicious! It was packed with rich, refreshing mango flavor--a perfect way to finish the meal. The service was excellent as well. There were nine of us at the table, and our server was very friendly, attentive, and did a wonderful job taking care of our large group throughout the evening. Overall, Impasto was a fantastic choice for our family dinner. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was outstanding. Everyone in our group enjoyed the evening, and we left with wonderful memories. We will definitely be back! read more

We dined here as a party of four at prime dinner time on a Saturday night. We were seated at a table quickly. Our server was friendly and efficient. Our food arrived very quickly considering how busy the restaurant and take out areas were. The portions were generous to say the least. We are already looking forward to returning and trying more from the menu. The owners really took the time and care to renovate what was once an old and dated pizza hut. read more

Our dinner was so delicious!! I had the Bolognese and my husband had the Lobster Carbonara. There was enough lobster for every bite, and a huge claw piece! We can't wait for our next visit to try something different. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch here and I can tell you we will be back. Great food I mean really great food... Large portions. I had the chicken marsala it was packed with garlic and mushrooms and great sauce. Great service. They were fast efficient and very helpful. A very clean new place. It's getting busy because it's obviously very good so be ready for a bit of a weight on the weekends. read more

Allow me to note that the anticipation of the opening of this restaurant was intense. We wanted it to open so bad; we waited for what felt like forever. I can only assume they hit roadblock after roadblock trying to open this restaurant. Well, it is finally open and we had a late lunch there today and we were impressed beyond our wildest expectations. So we entered the establishment and were immediately WOWED by the build out and the decor. They built a beautiful, comfortable and inviting place to eat. Before we could take it all in, we were approached by an associate, her name is Tia P, who immediately greeted our party and made us feel so welcome. It was like she was inviting us into her home. Extremely friendly, personable and happy to be a part of this restaurants staff. She was bubbly and energetic and made us all feel so welcomed. It was like she was expecting us. She is truly top end server who takes great pride in her work; where she works, and she is so genuine. Now her service is highly professional with a side of downright honest comradery. She was prompt to the table, knowledgeable, informative, efficient and kept you in the know as to when your food will be presented to the table. She is proud to be your server, and she makes sure you are, at all times, satisfied. So when the food came, each and every one of us were blown away with the quality and the expertise of the dishes that were presented to us. One ordered Chicken pizza with an Ala vodka sauce. It was cooked to perfection, presented with style, showing that the kitchen made to not only taste out of this world, but also made appealing to the eye. Perfect crust, perfect amount of toppings and it looked mouthwatering. Well it tasted better than it looked. This pizza was the best pizza we have had in a long time. Nice job there. One person ordered the classic pasta with 2 meatballs. The sauce was phenomenal, pasta, which is fresh, cooked to perfection and meatballs were just a wee bit smaller that a baseball. They were moist and flavorful. The dish was remarkable, we also had Garlic Knots, they were of course, perfect. Nice mouth feel, well baked and with the side of three dipping sauces. OMG, amazing, my personal favorite the creamy pesto sauce. Even if you don't like pesto, you are going to love this sauce, I had the calamari and cherry peppers over garlic butter linguine. You had the choice of fried or sautéed. I went with fried and asked for a side of pesto sauce. This dish was so delicious, so generous and without a doubt a favorite at the table. The calamari was a touch over cooked, but I did not care, it was delicious. Next time, oh yes, there will be a next time and many more after that, I want to get the calamari and cherry peppers over garlic butter, sautéed, just to give it a try. This is truly a restaurant you need to visit and frequent, now, or in the very near future. They have everything absolutely right. The food, the service and the ambiance. Don't scroll any longer, get in the car and head for IMPASTO restaurant on Longhill Road in Groton, CT I really don't think you will be disappointed. read more

e had lunch at Impasto today, and before anything else: my appetizer fell over on its way out of the kitchen, and the waitress tried to reassemble it with her bare hands. I saw it while I was walking back to my table. She had no idea I was watching. That is a health violation, and it tells you everything about how this place operates. Service was slow, but they just opened, so I'll give them grace there. My appetizer took about fifteen minutes -- and it was only when it arrived that the waitress told my husband they were out of the garlic knot sandwich. That is their signature dish. It is on the menu as the thing they want to be known for, and they could not make it at lunch. Fifteen minutes to tell him so. He switched to an antipasto salad. Then the plate landed. Because she is not a chef and had no business touching that food, what she set in front of me looked like something you would find in a litter box. read more

Finally had the opportunity to stop into this place. I ordered a slice of pepperoni. I could've ordered quite a few different things however I wanted to keep it simple for the purpose of this review. It's not a bad slice of pizza. I give it a 3.5. Is there anything substantially different than Iliano's? not really. Are they on the other side of the bridge for me? Yes. The restaurant looks amazing inside. The gal serving the pizza this morning was fast and friendly. I might update my score when I go back to try the Bolognese. read more

Tried this place today after it opened a couple days ago, and it was really good! The building inside was very nice, you could tell that it was all brand new. The food was all very good, especially the fried mozzerella. The pizza was also great, I loved the crust. Our server was very nice. Service was a bit slow but that's to be expected right after a place opens. We will definitely be back, the whole experience was very pleasant. :) read more

Impasto - Eggplant Rollatini appetizer. - Pizza Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

Worst pizza in the state of CT. This was a Bianca ordered to go. Barely any cheese. Dry and flavorless. They said one hour because of grand opening which is expected. Showed up after 45 minutes and pizza was cold. We also had their meatballs on the side and those were also flavorless. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I cannot wait to go back! A friend suggested we try this new place, and although I am never thrilled by the prospect of yet another Italian restaurant (yawn), I trusted her because she is super-smart. And - oh boy! - what an unexpected treat! I had the Giant Garlic Knot Meatball Sandwich: not just huge...hugely delicious! The restaurant was clean and classy, the service attentive and courteous. Her meal (Veal Milanese) was great, and the pizzas available for take-out looked especially delicious. Take your friends to Impasto! They will thank you (and think you are super-smart!) read more

Impasto - Giant Garlic Knot Meatball Sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

We ordered two of the garlic knot sandwiches to go, I got the eggplant parm as pictured, and we also got a chicken vodka knot. (Not pictured) The portion was size was great, so no complaints there! They traveled well in their boxes which we were thankful for! And they were good! My daughter was not a fan of her side of meatballs however, so we deducted a star for that. Overall I think it's worth trying to form your own opinions! It's not every day you get to order a giant garlic knot sandwich! read more

This place isn't bad, it just isn't great. The pizza texture is good but it's lacking flavor. The garlic knot meatball sandwich had a great textured bun and meatball, but was lacking flavor, seasoning, and sauce. The small portion of fries was very very small. Overall I would go back, maybe they are just working things out because they just opened. The staff is very friendly. Worth trying. read more

Tried a number of items on the menu, standouts were definitely the Sicilian crust of the impasto special pizza. Light airy and crispy. And the giant garlic knot sandwich was amazing. Service with Tia was great, had us laughing and enjoying ourselves the entire time. Look forward to going back read more

Really enjoyed everything about this place. The atmosphere was great, the service was awesome, and the food did not disappoint. I had the chicken parm garlic knot sandwich with vodka sauce, and it was seriously so good. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. The staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I'll definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal. read more

Food was good, not great. Service was great. Ambiance was not to bad for only being open for a week. I was impressed that they had Gelato. Not many places have this. I will eat here again. read more

Tried the garlic knots and soft and delicious. Had the Veal Parm and this is one great meal. Our visit was great. ​

Went to Impasto for dinner last night and the food and service were excellent! The portions were huge and food was very authentic Italian food. The prices were extremely reasonable. Both my husband and I have enough leftovers for another dinner tonight. Went for lunch there last week and had the eggplant garlic knot sandwich and it was fantastic. The service was very good both times. We will definitely be going there again! read more

Okay I have been waiting too long for this place to open and.... It was worth the wait!!!!! The food was AMAZING!!!! You have to go and enjoy the experience! I had the BEST ZUPPA DI PESCHE, even compares with the ones I had in Sciliy and Naples!!!!! read more

I was in Groton only for a weekend to see my boyfriend and he was told to try out this place. The wait was a little longer since they had just opened but the fast service and food made up for it. The restaurant was clean and all the details of decor and the overall atmosphere was great and I especially loved the open view of the kitchen. We don't eat pork so there were a lot of menu items we avoided but we ordered the garlic knots, philly steak pizza, and the garlic knot chicken vodka sandwich. All the food was delicious but I will say, the sandwich we got felt a little basic but with limited options it was still really good. We took our leftovers home and the food tasted just as good after heating them up in the toaster oven. Whenever I come back to visit, I'll definitely have him take me there again! read more

The waitresses were amazing and the food was pretty good. The host/table busser shouldn't be seating customers because he doesn't know how to talk to the people. The bottled beer was warm and a chilled glass didn't help. The draft beer was flat and my wife's sprite was flat. The pizza took over an hour to come out to the table and it was cold. The wait staff was the only good experience here. read more

even giving a 3/5 i'm still going to come back and branch out on the menu a bit more because i still feel like this place has a lot of potential. comfy atmosphere with decent service and nothing to really "complain" about, but what i ordered (veal marsala) lacked a lot of flavor in the sauce and the veal itself, everyone that joined me to eat here enjoyed their dish and i loved the appetizer. i wouldn't recommend yet but we'll see what a second visit does for me read more

Don't usually write reviews but our pizza was excellent! We had a chicken vodka knot, Milanese and an eggplant app. The design if the restaurant is beautiful, very comfortable and clean. Service was great! read more

Three of us arrived at around 5:15 Sunday afternoon, we were seated right away, the waitress came right to our table very pleasant she took our drink orders.. one of us ordered a small pizza she said it was good, the other was a chicken Parmesan sub. Hers was good also. I ordered the pappardelle with Bolognese sauce , I didn't like the sauce it was creamy and the noodles stuck together. The taste wasn't bad ,but not the way I've always have had that sauce. They don't put bread out for dinners . The place is beautifully done plenty of room . I will go back again . It is worth going to try this new place. read more

Great food and amazing service! The new building is absolutely beautiful and came out great, very pleased they're finally open!

Casual atmosphere with gourmet food. Large portions and great service. My husband had Sunday Gravy pasta. He said the meatballs were light and airy. It also had sausage and whipped ricotta that is lemony and delicious. He's a big guy with a big appetite but he could only eat half the plate. I highly recommend, we will be going back. read more

Ordered a buffalo chicken pizza and it was one of the best we've ever had. Don't change a thing.

I got a large pepperoni pizza.It's a NY style pizza but needed to be cooked longer.The sauce was not good and not a fresh made sauce.They used a small pepperoni and did use plenty of them but the type of pepperoni didn't taste good.I love pizza but it was not good to me.$18 for a large and $3 for the pepperoni and $4 for a soda full of ice not worth the price.Maybe some the the other food may taste better but the pizza no but if they use the same sauce I would pass. read more

Life changing dining experience. Everyone working was very friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious, definitely worth the stop!
