Lido's Restaurant - Meriden

The best pizza in the area. All of the food smelled fantastic. We just happened to find this wonderful restaurant while waiting for a haunted house. The service was fast and friendly. The specials were great. Definitely going to make a trip back. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

The first waitress we had was kind of not trained fully and shouldn't have been there alone. Other then that she was very good and the food was very good. Large portions and extra bread. The calamari was huge and it had very little flavor. The lasagna, manicotti and grinders are very good.

Lido's has new owners and I have to say, the pizza was delicious. It could of been cooked a little bit more but it was tasty! What we didn't care for was the waitress's attitude. As soon as we walked in, she was negative and put down the new owners. We almost left. But decided to stay. She basically threw our menus on the table, slammed plates and silverware down on other tables she was setting etc.. I can't understand how someone who needs good tips could act like that. Maybe it was because she had a boot on her leg from some injury? Didn't care for the new Owner? She never should have done that, whatever the reason was. Your Tip reflected your attitude and mannerisms.

The NY style calamari is phenomenal. The Seafood Alfredo is also very good, and even reheats well at home.

Great casual stop on our road trip. Food was good and extremely reasonably priced. House sangria was refreshing. Warm bread butter to start your meal (always a plus! To be 100% honest, food rates 4 stars (solid, but not something you?ll wax poetic about for years to come but the friendly smiles, excellent service and overall welcoming vibe bumps it to a five star visit. Would definitely recommend. Ps- had pasta, so can?t comment on the pizza.
