Elaine's 1841 Berlin Turnpike, Wethersfield, CT 06109

"Food was fair, but they really weren’t prepared for our big group, so the line to get the buffet food was held up due to the lack of preparation, I think. Desserts were limited. The best part was the great weight staff, they couldn’t do enough for us."

"This place is a gem. One of the best places to eat in the area. Clean. Service is amazing. And the food is always the best. I will drive 40 minutes to pick up my food from there because there aren’t good restaurants like this one here."

"My friend and I decided to finally try Elaine’s. Nice, casual decor. We were greeted immediately and seated. It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday. Wait staff was there immediately and took great care of us through the meal. The garlic and cheese bread was made of fresh ingredients as was all the food. I had the chicken parm and it was outstanding! Will be back!"

"Lived down the road for years and never went, figured i’d give it a try. I did order take out, so that could of gave the quality a hit. But the place itself is nice, very calm atmosphere, extremely friendly staff, and it was extremely clean. I ordered the Chicken Cutlet Grinder and the Cheesy Garlic Bread. Overall wasn’t really satisfied with my meal, the garlic bread was possibly some of the worst I’ve ever had, looked sad, was soft and had an awful texture. Taste was alright, but the cheese was barley melted and looked just thrown on, though it did have plenty of garlic flavor. The Chicken Cutlet Grinder was better, it was a smaller portion size then I was expecting, about 6 inches in length, but for 11.95, I would expect at least an 8-10 inch sub. It tasted fine, texture was fantastic, just not a superb sandwich. The fries however, are fantastic, extremely crispy, seasoned well, a very very good french fry. Overall I’d say it was a decent experience, and after all the food I got was TAKE OUT, so I’d assume the quality would be much better if you dined in. Worth a stop by."

"Travellers, Elaine’s is a local restaurant that has a fantastic menu. And the chef can back it up. The food is delicious. The restaurant is pretty and the ambiance is very pleasant. Service is with a smile. Back to the great food. We had the linguini and clam sauce which was fantastic. The clams were whole and cooked perfectly while the sauce was excellent. The rustica pasta was excellent. We had it with linguini instead of rigatoni which was fine. The cowboy burger is excellent and cooked perfectly too. And the Caesar salad with grilled chicken also perfectly done. Elaine’s is reasonably priced for the high quality of food and service you receive in this restaurant. We can’t wait to go back. Check it out. We recommend. TLDR - top choice for Italian/American food"
