I found this restaurant on Google. It was easy to access from the interstate. What a gem! From the hosts to the managers, all the team members, and diners, this felt seriously like Cheers. When I mentioned this to the woman who took care of me in the lounge, she said indeed it feels like an Italian Cheers. She’s so right. The people working at the bar knew everyone’s names. It was such a lovely, warm, welcoming feeling. So much joy at diners greeting those they were meeting and friends they just ran into.

DeNovellis Family Restaurant is a great place to go for a delicious and affordable Italian meal. To start with they gave us bread with olive oil. We had penne vodka and fettuccini Alfredo for entree. Clam chowder soup was the best. Definitely would recommend this place

Got the penne vodka and it was incredibly tasty. Would recommend getting reservations as this place gets packed. We weren’t aware of how busy they got but was able to get a table with a very short wait time (<10min).

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.

It had been a long time since I have been out to dinner and never had a complaint about a single thing. Everything was delicious! I love mushrooms. I had the stuffed mushroom caps as an appetizer, very highly recommended!

De’ Novellis was recommended by a colleague for our work group. Everything was excellent. Service seated us right away and refilled drinks regularly. Atmosphere is like an old school Italian restaurant which I loved. Every dish that my 6 person group ordered was fantastic. I highly recommend the rigatoni Mezzo Mezzo, or the chicken Nona.

Loved anything about it and genuinely appreciated how our server attended to us. She was “attentive from a distance”… Always watching but not constantly at our table asking what we need or how everything was.

Great local Italian restaurant with fantastic food and service. Plan a reservation at peak times. We walked in at just after 5 pm and were able to sit down. My daughter had the mozzarella sticks and fettuccine Alfredo and thought both were cheesy and delicious. My mother had the shrimp scampi with a salad and struggled to finish the pasta. She said the shrimp were perfectly prepared and seasoned. I had the special surf and turf, which was a veal T-bone and sauteed scallops. Everything was perfectly cooked and tender. I had my daughter try a bite of the scallops and she thought they were great whereas in the past she had over that we rubbery. The whole place has a family, cozy feel. The servers were very attentive to drinks and our food. Please try this place if you’re in the mood for great Italian in Rocky Hill.
