Violi's in Meriden, CT, is undoubtedly the most picturesque restaurant in town, offering the best views and an unforgettable dining experience. This special spot holds a dear place in my heart, as it's where my husband TJ and I were married in 2007. Ever since, Violi's has been our go-to for special occasions, especially our anniversary. The fettuccine carbonara at Violi's is my absolute favorite—nothing else compares. The rich, creamy sauce and perfectly cooked pasta are simply divine. And let's not forget the garlic knots, which are out of this world! With its charming ambiance and impeccable service, Violi's is the perfect setting for any celebration or romantic evening. If you're looking for a place to make lasting memories, Violi's is the place to be.

Visiting from New York and picked this place based on reviews/menu. Glad I did! Friendly vibe, warm and friendly service, and delicious mussels (mussels are the tell tale sign for me). The mussels were served with freshly made ginormous garlic knot! Wowza! The best part was meeting Vickie, the bartender, who was born in the same hospital as me in Brooklyn!

We had a funeral lunch for my aunt there for 28-30 people for lunch We ordered off of a selected dinner menu. Each meal was delivered hot and cooked to perfection!! Everyone raved about the quality and taste of the food. Most of us had leftovers. The service was absolutely excellent. Benny checked in frequently throughout the lunch to make sure all was good. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I can’t wait to go back to try one of the other meals.

I've only been here twice, and both times were memorable. Bartender even remembered me haha. I strongly recommend the prime rib on Thursdays! I dod not take a picture of it, sadly. But the burger and wings were also amazing!
