Since 1998
Our story.
A tradition of authentic Italian cooking, bringing Connecticut families together for more than two decades.
Welcome to Melilli's, where every dish tells a story of tradition, passion, and family. Our journey began over two decades ago with a simple mission: to bring the authentic flavors of Italy to our local communities in Connecticut.
Where flavor feels like home.
We believe food is more than nourishment — it's a connection to culture, family, and community. From sizzling grilled meats to vibrant vegetarian dishes, every bite is crafted with care and rooted in tradition, and served with the same warm hospitality that keeps our neighbors coming back.
But we are more than just pizza. Our menu is a celebration of classic Italian-American comfort food. From our hearty baked ziti to our delicate chicken marsala, every recipe has been refined over years of family dinners and Sunday suppers. We use only the finest ingredients: imported San Marzano tomatoes, premium mozzarella, and fresh, locally sourced produce whenever possible.
A family dream come true.
After coming to the United States as a young child, I had a dream. I wanted to own my own business someday. At the ripe age of 9, little could I have imagined that someday I'd own my own restaurant.
Since beginning in this field in 1997, I couldn't imagine being in any other. This restaurant and bakery is my dream come true. It is together with my family that I have realized this dream. We strive to provide quality food and bakery items at reasonable prices, using only the best and freshest ingredients in all of our products.
I hope you come in and see for yourself. I look forward to meeting you.
