Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Hamden

Great historical ambiance. Service was excellent and so was the food. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon.

I was surprised that my faro salad was basically a pasta dish. It was served hot with the cheese melted in and wasn’t what I had expected from a “ bowl”. It was still good but I was looking for a bit less faro and more tomatoes and arugula…

Carianne is the best! We love going back for the food and the wine, but mostly because she’s so sweet and professional. She has the perfect personality and the Bistro wouldn’t be the same without her.

Wonderful example of what an old fashioned Italian restaurant should be. Founded 1938, welcoming, friendly, everyone (and us) having a great time, great (no excellent) food, Very few modestly priced Italian restaurants are worth a special detour but this is definitely one

The tranquil vibe during lunch is perfect for those who want a peaceful escape. A small, well-curated menu means that everything is carefully crafted and of high quality. I appreciate that there are some inventive gf options. Add professional service to the mix, and it is the kind of spot that really takes care of its guests.
