Gluten Free Italian Combo Wrap
Allie K.

My husband mentioned he had some awesome subs catered for work, and a few months later, we've been to Melilli's a couple of times! Service is always prompt and friendly. We've tried multiple menu items. For gluten free options, pizzas are available, and all grinders can be made on gluten free wraps. At first, this was a turn off for me, but it was actually quite delicious. We've tried the Italian Combo and the Melilli Steak this way. They're great at allergen modifications, and there's plenty of delicious food to eat, no matter what you order. Other menu hits as mentioned by the friends we brought along the last visit include the chicken parm and the chicken fingers- high praise from a little one! We'll definitely continue to return to Melilli's.

Egg sandwich

Ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, sausage patty. Fresh and very tasty on a hard roll. Staff was friendly as well.

Mushroom Ricotta and Mozzarella Calzone
Agusta S.

Okay y'all I FINALLY tried this place after a year of telling myself I'd circle back and OMG I'm so glad I did. This is probably the best calzone I've had to date since moving to this great state of pizza and it's all about the dough. The flavor and fluffiness of their crust is everything. The sauce is amazing, lots of flavor, and the cheese isn't overwhelming. I'm not a fan of the enormous amounts of ricotta in my calzones so for me the balance was perfect! And I swear even the mushrooms had flavor. And they weren't cut too thick like a lot of places do, so it was just the cherry on top. It's also as big as my thigh which is insane LOL The team was friendly and the atmosphere inside definitely feels like a small town bakery, which I love. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend y'all treat yo'selves on the way home on one of these frigid windy days!

I don't know what the negative reviews are about. My husband and I have been going to Melilli's since they were in Cromwell. We have never had a bad meal or heard an untoward word from anyone. After living in two cities with very strong pizza opinions, NYC and Chicago, I can honestly say, Melilli's pizza is my favorite pizza on the east coast outside of New York. Pepe's is great, but it's a different experience. Tonight we had an antipasto salad with a large pizza in the dining room. It was way too much food, but we planned to have leftovers for the Patriots game at home. Service was very welcoming and accommodating. When people called in, I could hear them immediately tell the callers there was a 40 minute or an hour wait for pizza. They make everything to order, even the salads. They make their own crust and it's a crispy on the bottom, very well developed crust. I have found that reviews for pizza places are very polarizing. EVERYONE thinks their favorite kind of pizza is the perfect pizza. If it's not your bag, move on to another place. There's a million of them out there. But if you want to sit back and have a nice meal cooked by a family who are bringing their Italian traditions to your plate, then come here.

Would you pay $40 for this?

The breakfast I had took twice as long to cook and yet still tasted somewhat cold. The food overall was just okay.

They make the best egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich all day long. I love them. It's always a treat to have one.

Food is mediocre at best. Service not as good. Staff is generally indifferent or even snarky if you ask to may questions.

Hyper realistic cakes are not plentiful in Connecticut (nor does Hope from A Little Imagination…read moreCakes brand herself as such), but take a look at the shoe in the cake she made for my wife's birthday and tell me that doesn't look real! If you need a special cake for a special occasion, you need to reach out to Hope and she will work with you. Shoot her an email, and you are replied with an automated list asking for the date of the event, serving size, inspiration of images, flavor choices, and phone number. She initially requested a phone call to follow up, but we just replied back and forth and we got this thing finalized. Not only was this cake beautiful, but it was delicious - I picked a simple red velvet with vanilla buttercream, and it was done to perfection. A special cake my my special girl on her special day. Thank you, Hope!

We picked up birthday boys' cake today, and immediately after seeing it, I had an…read moreohmygodjusttakemymoney moment. I kept my cool though, because I'm the adult (even though I also watch the show this cake was based on) and got to see my son's magical reaction to seeing the most amazing birthday cake he's ever seen in his life. Cake weathered the ride home like a seasoned passenger while dad and I fielded questions about why we can't eat his birthday cake before his party tomorrow. The process of requesting a cake and specifying certain parts and asking for input on others was painless and smooth. Will update with how the magnificence tastes tomorrow. Edit: Bomb cake. Very eatable and worth the calories.
