This is our go-to place for pizza in Cromwell which is always great, New York style pies. They are always right on time for pickup as well. We recently used Giulias catering food and it was all excellent! Everything was delicious with a lot of flavor. The owner is very nice and knows how to cook very tasty Italian food. Highly recommend to anyone craving good Italian food and/or pizza!
We have done takeout, eat in and catering from Giulia’s and it is always amazing! We enjoy their pizzas and grinders most often. But their pasta dishes and Italian specialties are excellent, as well. The owner and his family are wonderful and always willing to do whatever necessary to make your experience memorable! Al is a very experienced chef and it shows in the dishes he makes every day. Highly recommend!
Talk about high quality at affordable prices. I’m a huge fan of margherita pizza and believe me when I say this is the best that Cromwell has to offer. I’ve never been a big fan of thin crust, but this place has changed my mind, with every bite packed with fresh flavor. I worked in a few pizza places in my life and it’s easy to taste the effort this place puts into making a quality pie. Whether your dining in, taking out or looking to cater a party this is the place for you when you’re hungry for anything Italian. All 3 of this pictures are from 3 separate occasions and the consistency of quality is clear. I bring my whole family here and it’s become the pizza staple of our household.
Great food and hands-down the best pizza around! We ordered from here all the time and it’s consistently fantastic. The pizza is always fresh and loaded with flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients — the crust has that perfect chew, the sauce is rich and zesty, and the toppings are super fresh and generously applied. If you’re looking for reliable, Italian style, high-quality pizza, this is the spot. Local gem!
Great, friendly faces, superior service (even for a little pizza joint!), and the food!! We had the linguine with meatballs - my picky eater who doesn't like red sauce ate almost the whole entree with no complaints! And don't sleep on the pizza, its true blue, perfect thin crust with real mozz and that amazing red sauce. Great spot for a bite!
I’m usually hesitant when trying wings at a new spot because they’re usually small, meatless and over cooked, but Wow are these wings are delicious. I usually go for barbecue, but the Owner recommended the Sweet Chili and I’m so happy that he did! The atmosphere was great, plenty of room to relax, grab a seat (and a beer! ) I thought the menu might be outdated, because everything was so inexpensive, but I was so happy to be wrong. (Every other restaurant charges an arm and a leg!) This place has a large selection of excellent food at excellent prices and is perfect for takeout or to sit back and relax. Not to mention that the dining room and open kitchen are spotless!! I think I found my new spot!
I want to start the review by saying that I do have a background in culinary being an executive chef for many years and now teaching culinary. My wife and I decided to try this place for dinner and we're not disappointed. In fact, we had a great experience! I want to also say that everything there is made in house, using quality products, including the rolls for the sandwiches. My wife and I split a rigatoni Bolognese to start. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the meat sauce was authentic and delicious. Next we had a meatball calzone with ricotta cheese and mozzarella. The dough was so good as I was cutting pieces with the meatball and cheese making like little sandwiches, I can honestly say it was great! We also ordered a pizza which is made thin crust nice bubbles coming out of the oven, beautifully brown on the bottom crispy crust. The tomato sauce and cheese of a high-quality as well as the other toppings. I would rate this pizza, an 8.8 out of 10. Leaving room for the pizza meccas In New Haven. If you don't want to drive an hour, I recommend you try the pizza here! I had to try a half an order of shrimp scampi, the shrimp were done perfectly not overcooked, linguini was al dente, and the sauce is about as good as I've ever had, capers, sliced fresh garlic, lemon. I also ordered an Italian cold cut grinder to go with plenty of mortadella, capicola, salami, and pepperoni reminiscent of Franklin giant grinder in the south end of Hartford. I planned on reviewing the restaurant so we also have lunch tomorrow! It's a gem in Cromwell that shouldn't be missed!
Best steak and cheese I’ve had in 13 years of living in CT. I’m from Philly born and raised and today is the first time I had a cheesesteak in CT that I actually want to eat again. Everything is prepared in-house except the cheese. The bread is perfect and the roasted garlic is the chefs kiss I didn’t know I needed. Owner and staff were so wonderful. Definitely coming back soon! (I ate half before I took a picture )
