This has become the restaurant I bring family and friends & perspective clients to. It is also my ideal date place. If you want to impress anyone or just have an amazing dinner, bring them to the best restaurant in Connecticut -- Encore by Goodfellas. I always request Kenny or Sloane to take care of us, because they go out bof their way to make you feel welcome (though to be honest every server and bartender at Encore does that), but can never go wrong requesting Kenny or Sloane. Sometimes, I arrive before my guests just to spend a few moments at the gorgeous bar and see Frankie or Vinnie. Make sure you ask for them. Encore is like a timeless Supper Club where, if they are not swamped with running the restaurant, the beautiful Andrea or incomparable Chef Gennaro may stop by your table to make you feel like a movie star. Right now, everyone in New Haven (East, West, or North) are talking about Encore's 4-Course Winter Pre-Fixe Menu for 40.00. Believe me, you will the love the size of the portions. On our last few trips, my cousins have loved the Pre-Fixe Menu, but I love the NY Steak and Bolognese so much, I have to order of the regular menu as well. Though, the Filet or the Lasagna and Meatballs on the Pre-Fixe Menu are two of my favorites. I always start with the Calmari and Caprese for the table (which you can also get on the Pre-Fixe Menu) because I'm an Italian like that. Eating on the second floor is like being transported to the Copa back in it's heyday. If you are looking to impress, hit the second floor. I fluctuate between the cinematic scene of the second floor and the intimacy of the first floor. No matter which floor you choose, you will have one of the best dinners of your life and your guests will forever say, you knew just where to take them.

Our fifth time since they reopened and we keep coming back. The prices have crept up though, higher on some items than I would expect ($12 for three scoops of ice cream, $18 for children’s spaghetti and meatball?). The food is always good, the ambiance is strong, and the service is friendly.

Dinner was amazing, I started with the NY style fried calamari with the cherry peppers, and had the Sicilian pork chops, it was a double cut which were huge. The waiter was very attentive and friendly, we love coming here for special occasions.
I would rate this restaurant a 10/10 .

If you are looking for an upscale restaurant that provides an experience with amazing food, then this is the one. I came here with my friends after my graduation and we couldn't be happier with what we had picked. The entire table ordered from the pre fix menu and it was so worth it. There was so much food and everything tasted amazing. On top of that, there was live music which was an added bonus. I highly recommend this restaurant to anybody who is looking for a place to celebrate or a romantic date night. I will definitely be coming back again.
