    Yikes. Blanched and devoid of flavor.
    Maria K.

    Whew... this was a rough and extremely daunting meal. I can't decipher if being served undercooked linguine alle vongole after waiting 30 minutes or ordering a caprese garnished with store-brought mozzarella and "basil flakes" is more disrespectful than the other. As someone who has spent a summer in Italy/studied abroad, I was absolutely gobsmacked as to why anyone patrons this restaurant! The highlight of the evening was our kind waitress (clearly had absolutely no culinary-based experience and my boyfriend had to open the bottle of wine for her) and the Barolo. That is it. A proper caprese does not feature 4/5ths tomatoes and shards of two leaves of basil. Linguine and clams does not come congealed, with half of the clams closed (ie. dead) and a poor pasta cook (not al dente-- just half cooked). Our waitress informed me that she would be removing the item from the bill.... Um. Hello. I took ONE bite and decided absolutely NOT. We aren't discussing a comp/removal. It's inferred. And the 'tortellini in brodo'?! That I waited another 30 minutes for? Store brought chicken broth, no herbs or elevation. Absolutely sad and inedible. We will likely just contact AMEX. Maybe it's because I'm a New Yorker, well traveled and a damn good cook... Because this place!? Oh no. Blasphemy. Just no flavor or love-- I've had better meals and experiences in a college dorm. Oh! Pro tip! Please don't sit an elegant party of two next to egregiously-behaved children who require medication and therapy. The experience was a fail at "Hello. Party of 2?" *And "this guest" still paid the bill and tipped graciously amidst a very disappointing meal-- as it wasn't our waitress' fault. Alas, management won't take the onus that the food is subpar. Bravo.

    Timballo: pasta and mozzarella wrapped in lightly breaded eggplant with marinara.

    Went here for lunch for the first time last week. Pasta Fagoli soup was good and served piping hot; certainly looked and tasted homemade. I also had the Timballo which was fresh and delicious; the marinara was so tasty. Also had tiramisu which was outstanding; highly recommend. Had read reviews before going (concerns about food not being homemade and staff issues.) I will say that staff seemed a little tense and harried despite place only being about 1/4 full; no smiles even upon greeting us when we walked in the door. Drink refills were never offered and my water glass sat empty for 30+ minutes (never refilled) and had to flag waitress to collect bill. Would I go back for the food? Absolutely. Would I have felt more like a valued and respected guest with a least an attempt at a smile and being sure we had what we needed during our meal? Also absolutely.

    Such a great place, nice atmosphere, excellent food and great service. Moderately price. Definitely going back.

    So we are back home in Fairfield, CT and we went by our old time favorite Luigi's and noticed it was closed. We got a little nervous but came by again and it was open! We love the staff, owner and his family and the food! When you just want great food, relax with a nice glass of wine or a bar drink and a real Italian dish or just pizza, this is the place ! Great prices, great food, great people! Oh, fresh baked bread, amazing. A must try!

Service was very quick and friendly, and there was a diner-like ambiance that was casual and inviting. We tried three pies: clam, fresh tomato (summer special), and hot pepperoni. The clam pizza had great garlicky, lemony flavor, but some of the clams were too chewy for my liking. The fresh tomato pie was my favorite, as it was light and had great basil and garlic flavor. The hot pepperoni and peppers pie was also good, packing more of a spicy punch than expected, but overall very flavorful. The crust of all three of these pies was fantastic, light and crispy, yet still substantial.

We ordered one pizza with one topping and waited quite a while. A table seated next to us arrived after us, ordered four pizzas and received all their food before we got ours. I asked our waiter if there was a reason the table got 4 pizza's before our 1 pizza and his initial response was simply, "No reason." When I questioned it further, he said it depended on when the tickets were received, which didn't make much sense since they were seated after us. I understand delays happen, but a kind explanation or apology would have gone a long way. Instead, the response felt dismissive. I tried to send this feedback through the restaurant's website first, but it kept giving me an error from their website, so I'm posting it here instead in the hopes that management sees it and can address whatever caused the delay and help prevent the same experience for future customers.

No need to apologize as it's always worth waiting a few minutes for a fresh cup.

She apologized several times and in the end wound up camping the cup of coffee and my Arnold Palmer drink and discounted the chicken Parmesan. This is the right way to run a restaurant.

I was in the mood for a quality pasta dish, although I would love to try their pizza. The outdoor dining area is quite large, and the inside is spacious and well docorated.. The tables were tastefully set. The entire restaurant was clean, including the restroom. I started off with a Moretti beer. I wanted to try the Bolognese egg rolls with vodka sauce. Lots of reviews about them. There were 4 eggrolls so this is a great app to share. They were very good, crunchy exterior and ample Bolognese and cheese. The vodka dipping sauce had a nice little kick to it. Brillliant idea. I then had the Fettuccine Alpha Romeo, with cream, egg yolk, pecorino, and panchetta; a cross between Carbonara and Alfredo, which is usually not my go to dish, but it sounded delectable. The portion was generous and the dish was rich and the pasta was al dente. I thought it could only have been improved upon by having the panchetta a tad crispy , but on second thought the way is is prepared is the way to go. Layers of flavor in this dish. Service was excellent, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. I loved the option to sit outside. I very much enjoyed my experience and recommend and plan to return to try the pizza and more! The waiter told me they have a prix fixe menu for $16 lunches during the week!

What the.. a simple apology or acknowledgement would have gone a long way. We did order them TWICE. He really didn't give a crap, which is so very odd. This waiter is the only thing that stopped us from giving a great review. He was inattentive, never smiled or expressed any sort of personality and really didn't care if we were there or not. We could see that this was not the case with another waiter who actually did check on us, clear plates etc. but he was not our waiter. I think he noticed our poor service. Our waiter had his back to us after serving our dessert, for a very long time. I could see over his shoulder that he was playing on his phone. It looked like he was talking to chat gpt actually. We eventually had to ask for the check. We had also asked what kind of cola and he told us Coca Cola products while actually serving us obviously Pepsi products. Again not the hugest deal but all these things added up to terrible service. I really hate Diet Pepsi. It's far sweeter than Diet Coke. Un drinkable and a waste of money. We did enjoy the food though. It was very good and the reason for the stars. Worth going back for? Not really when Luigi's is right next door. ,

As someone who hates typical Connecticut pizza and firmly believes that New York pizza is in a league of its own, I was genuinely shocked -- and impressed -- to find pizza here that rivals (and in some cases surpasses) what I used to get in the city. It's just that good. I've been ordering from this place since it was The Pizza Post, and the quality hasn't just remained consistent -- it's actually gotten better over time. The management, owner, chef, and even the delivery driver are all incredibly professional and courteous. It's clear they take pride in their product and in their service. Delivery is always lightning fast, and there's never a delivery fee -- which in this day and age is almost unheard of. Another huge plus? The gluten-free pizza I order for my wife isn't some frozen, off-the-shelf crust like most places. It's made in-house, and you can taste the difference. She loves it, and honestly, I've stolen a few slices and couldn't even tell it was gluten free. The ambience is exactly what you'd want from a great local spot -- a classic, no-frills mom-and-pop pizza joint where the focus is on the food and the community. If you're on the fence or stuck ordering from the same old mediocre spots, do yourself a favor and give The Post a shot. It's not just good for Connecticut -- it's just plain great.

Really thankful to have that option. I was in the area, so I placed an online to go order for just a hot oil pie. When I walked in, I loved how open and spacious it was. The pickup counter was clearly marked, and I was greeted warmly by multiple people. I was even offered plates and napkins, which was great since I wanted to try it fresh in the car. It was an especially pleasant and smooth pickup experience. Really impressed. As for the pizza, I loved it. Just the right amount of oil so that it wasn't unpleasantly or excessively greasy. The spice was a great touch. I enjoyed the ratios, from the thin crust to cheese to sauce. It was a delicious pizza and one I could order a lot more often than most other pizzas. I can't wait for them to open one closer to me. 2 are planned! I thought the price point was great, too. Under $15 with tax. It is the size of a larger small/medium pie, on par with most Neapolitan style ones, and with how thin it is I'm sure it's a personal size for someone with a large appetite. But that's not me! So this was a 5 star experience for me. Really impressed, and I look forward to future visits!

The pizza was flavorful, and I can see why it's a popular choice. That said, as a Bronx native, I wouldn't call this New York style pizza, it's not the kind I grew up with. The crust was nice and thin, but toward the center of the pie it got a little soggy. I just wish the crispiness stayed more consistent from edge to center. The restaurant itself has a small takeout area when you first walk in, but through the double doors there's a full dining room with a bar, so it's larger than it initially appears. While we only tried the pizza this visit, after looking at photos of the menu on Yelp, id say their dinner dishes look delicious. I'd definitely come back and try their chicken and pasta!
