Denovellis - ROCKY HILL

This Italian restaurant feels a bit worn out. We visited for lunch and, despite being the first customers of the day, the service was inconsistent. I ordered the blackened Caesar salad, and I must say, they did a great job with the chicken—it was cooked perfectly, and the dressing was excellent. However, the menu options were quite standard, lacking creativity or anything distinctive. I might return, but it feels more like the Applebee's of Italian cuisine.

I frequently eat here/order takeout. My usual order is the Mediterranean shrimp pasta because it is just so good. The sauce is creamy and light with great flavor. I've had other meals as well such as veal parm grinder, penne alla vodka, carbonara. Never had a bad meal here!

4.5 stars. This place is absolutely delicious. My family has been going to this restaurant multiple times a month. You can choose anything on the menu and it is guaranteed to be good. The penne vodka is a staple for me. The photo barely does it justice. The portions are large, it lasts me another dinner for the next day! Every meal basically comes with a good size salad included. Love that they give you bread, cheese, and peppers to munch on. Wait staff is very nice, and always checking in to see if you need anything. The specials always sound amazing. I recommend getting the sea bass special before they run out. The ambiance is nice, nothing spectacular but it is clean, and nice. Only negative I would say is that they seem to always be out of the wine we order, if they never have it, i would recommend them to take it off the menu. Other than that, nothing bad to say.

Last night, we ordered the Shrimp Mediterranean, and it was absolutely delicious. However, what we enjoyed the most was the pistachio tiramisu. We are already planning to return to try another main course, and of course, we’ll be getting the pistachio tiramisu again for dessert!

I visited this restaurant for dinner on a bustling Saturday night and was fortunate enough to grab a table at the bar right away with my friend. We started our meal with some table peppers, cheese, and bread. Instead of opting for the salad that came with my Chicken di Nonna, I chose the pasta fagioli. If I hadn't been pregnant at the time, I would have been perfectly fine, but unfortunately, the peppers and soup triggered some severe acid reflux for me. I ended up needing to have my dinner boxed up as soon as it arrived, which was a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, the staff was very accommodating and understanding. Once my symptoms calmed down, I finally got to enjoy my dinner at home and was thoroughly impressed—the chicken was absolutely delicious and provided enough for two meals! I also took home some Pistachio Tiramisu, which was incredibly tasty; I could have eaten an entire tray of it! I definitely plan to return with my husband since he hasn't been here yet, and I'll be ordering the same meal again!
