Best Cozy Restaurants in East Haven

Made a same-day reservation for 7 on a weeknight. We were looking for an Italian restaurant that did not have stereotypical Italian fare, and this delivered. The restaurant was lovely and we were seated in an area that was not crowded; the ambiance was really nice. Service was attentive, the cocktail selection was great (including some really interesting mocktails); the small plates were excellent, and the main courses were good to excellent. We didn't feel rushed, and the whole experience was genuinely enjoyable. This restaurant is pricier than where we would usually go, but it was a memorable dining experience.

The food was outstanding The temperature was a little on the cold side. There were only two waiters for a fully booked restaurant on Christmas Day (understandably) and they did a yeoman's job.The entire staff was very attentive and gracious. Would definitely go back. The food was that good.

Table was ready right on time. Staff was friendly and helpful answering questions about menu. They were accommodating of our young family member, bringing a few gelato samples before we ordered dessert. Overall, was a great family night for a special occasion.

Always good here. The food the service is excellent .

Wonderful neighborhood Italian restaurant - terrific food, lovely staff - feels like living in Italy!
