I'm excited to say Tunxis Grill & Pizzeria is my new favorite restaurant--especially when I crave good Italian and Mediterranean fare, for many reasons, including a warm welcome from Bella and Tony.
First of all, the food is well-prepared, delicious, has huge portions--we got four...dinners and two lunches from our two entrees--and, I am so happy to report NO CANOLA and all olive oil. Yes, the olive oil is cooking grade, according to Tony, TG&P's manager, but that is so okay with me. I have seldom found a restaurant that uses good oil even for their deep fryer. They have my five-star vote in spades! I don't have to question and fear every menu item choice. I can trust them.
We ordered soups, and our server, Julia, advised us to add it to our entree as an up-charge instead of full price. How sweet. My corn chowder and bacon soup was amazing, making my husband yearn a bit after mine because he felt his clam chowder, although tasty, was not using the freshest clams. Probably October isn't clam season.
My eggplant parmesan was very good. Loved the sauce. The breading could have been a little crispier. It was served over linguini, which was very, very good and perfectly al dente. Hubby's lasagne was meaty, delicious and plentiful. He was very pleased.
We're so happy Tunxis made it through the pandemic. We have been and will remain fans.More
