er-eating from their tasty menu.With almost a hundred menu items, including Comella's famous "messes", there's bound to be some delectable Italian American dish for your supper. They have the standards, like stuffed shells, meatballs, eggplant parmigiana, chicken alfredo, and so on. Comella's also offers gnocchi, tortellini and a wide assortment of ravioli.
But the most enticing and unique menu items are the messes. What's a "mess"? Well, according to the menu, a Comella's mess is a "mystery recipe that nobody knows". It's a non-meat base that they add or subtract ingredients to to keep the mystery. And, as they note, "the finished product looks like an accident but tastes great!" You can add all kinds of things to your mess. Easy Ed's Mess has chicken and vegetables. Bear's Mess has shrimp and eggplant. Swinging Sammy William's Mess is chicken and meatball. There's about thirty more messes for you to chose from for whatever it is you're craving.
You can also get a combo meal; I like shells and mess. You can eat in at tables in the West Roxbury Comella's, but I like the freedom of heading home with my mess and having it there. My friends and I like to get a take out order from Comella's for dinner and then watch a DVD for an easy night in. They also do platters and buckets for holidays, parties or big family gatherings. Comella's Homemade Italian Foods is a local chain in Brookline, Concord, Wellesley and West Newton. The Comella's West Roxbury is at 1844 Centre St. They're open 11:30 AM - 9 PM, seven days a week.
