Illiano's Grill - East Lyme

Stopped by while visiting the area. I will never understand how/why the restaurant was packed? Food was second rate all around. If you don’t know good pizza then this below average joint I guess could fill you up but not with the price. The large salad billed as “family size” served 2 people and contained cheap bagged lettuce with no extras. I recommend just driving a bit and don’t fall for “ local” reviews that over state this hole in the wall.

Phenomenal pizza! They even gave me a small slice as I sat and waited for my order. Customer service at its best.

The waitresses here let's just say there are a few bad apples. If you order slices, there's a good chance you'll get the smallest of the pie and barely warmed. Let's not set aside the concept of cutting the pizzas evenly. It's really not that hard. But the level of entitlement and disrespect is appalling. I generally tip $2 3 on a $10 carryout order. Clearly it's not sufficient. Yeah. Dominos now has a new customer.

We found this place on our way through CT. We stopped for salad and a sandwich but had to try a garlic knot. The hot Italian grinder was good and so was the salad. The garlic knots were tasty too. They were super soft and buttery and I loved that they served them with sauce. The dressing that came with the salad was delicious ? I didn't realize it was a sit down restaurant as we ordered when we walked in but decided to sit there and eat. We were tired and hungry so we were a bit confused but it was great and hit the spot. 1 Italian grinder, 1 Greek salad, 2 garlic knots and 2 drinks came to $35. 2 of us ate and had leftovers for another meal for 2. I usually take photos but we were so hungry I didn't have the chance ?‍

The worst buffalo chicken wrap I have ever had. I gave back their soggy wrap with one piece of chicken and slimy onions. Ever since Covid this place has got worse and worse. By far the worst place to eat in town. I didn’t take my money back because 13 bucks is all the excuse I need to never go back again.
