Straightforward Italian dishes served up in a spacious, homey, brick-walled interior.

Absolutely the BEST chicken parmigiana I have ever had. Large portions. I usually never order it because a lot of restaurants not preparing it very well, dry and not much flavor. This Restaurant has changed my mind about ordering it, I probably will every time I go.Great friendly service, the marinated peppers, cheese and bread is a wonderful combination to get before your meal.
I highly recommend!

My son and I ordered takeout of Fettuccine Alfredo. We had checked on Google/Yelp, who sold the best in the Cromwell area and Denovellis was listed. Also said the best in the reviews. We didn’t feel it was the best after our meals. This was our first time ordering anything from Denovellis. I think it was just personal preference. The restaurant looks fantastic from the pictures on the website. We are certainly going to try more items and eat in to try more.

They Open earlier than I thought so I finally got to try their Chicken Picata. This was the ultimate Chicken Picata, capers, artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, a yummy thicker than usual lemon sauce, chicken soft and cooked perfectly over angel hair pasta. I’ve never had so many ingredients in chicken picata and it is slightly overwhelming, however, I loved it!! They had French dressing and zesty Italian dressing available for the dinner salad, in my experience,
very rare, so that made me happy. The service by Leslie was beyond perfect, she knew what to do to make my experience top shelf. I can’t wait to go back now that I know they’re open at 11:00am during the week. I definitely recommend!

I’ve been dining at DeNovellis for the past 3+ years and they have never disappointed me. The bartenders are wonderful people who are always pleasant. Drinks and food are great! Come on in, the owner Enzo, his sons and staff would love to meet you!

We haven’t been to an Italian restaurant that we liked in a long time. My wife found Denovellis while looking for a place to eat and they had great reviews so we figured we would try it. From the call for reservations until we paid the check and walked out was an amazing experience. It was a Friday and the place was packed but we were able to make reservations and get in rather quickly. We started with the Arancini, which was the best we’ve ever had. We had the Chicken di Nonna and the Chicken Enzo, both were absolutely delicious. The service was top notch and the atmosphere, albeit busy, was like stepping into an Italian family home for dinner. If I could give them six stars I would, we will definitely be back!!!

I went to this Italian restaurant not too long ago, and everything about the experience was amazing. The atmosphere felt authentic and cozy, the food was full of rich flavor, and the service was warm and attentive. Every dish tasted freshly made and perfectly balanced. Truly a wonderful spot for anyone craving real Italian comfort food.

3.9.23 Superb service all around. And the food is amazing. We had bread, cheese, marinated peppers, seafood apps, soup, salad, veal, chicken, pistachio cake. We changed the regular sauce to this spicy peppered one and it was divine. Great food.

Just a few minutes from the center of town, is a solid choice for Italian food. People rave about the chicken dishes, especially the Chicken Enzo and the quality of their pasta with rich, flavorful pink sauce. The service is friendly and the place fills up fast, so it’s best to get there early. The pistachio tiramisu is a favorite dessert that many say is worth saving room for. Overall, it’s a cozy spot with tasty, authentic dishes that locals keep coming back to.

Denovellis Italian restaurant in Rocky Hill Connecticut is definitely the best Italian restaurant in the state of Connecticut. It is a family run business and the father with his two sons are the chefs. The food is phenomenal and it’s fresh and all made from scratch.

This was our first time eating here and we dined with another couple at a table at the bar. The place was quite busy and the service was still spot on. Our salads, food and drinks were awesome and I definitely recommend people coming here to eat at night. A reservation would almost be a must I would think. They are that good.
