10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Branford

“Probably my favorite restaurant in Branford. Best lobster bisque hands down! Service is always so wonderful, kind and accommodating and the food is out of this world.“

“The Best, and I’m a Blue Devil Westie girl. :)“

“Came for Mother’s Day, My first time here. This was a hit!! a very big hit! The service was amazing, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was so inviting & pretty. Portions were big & menu had tons of options. We can’t wait to come back! Well done“

“Lobster Mike 🦞Awesome guy and the lobster is delectable! Had won this years prize and went with making lobster rolls. The lobster meat provided was sweet and lobster rolls were the best ever ! Thank you, Mike“

“Love the new make over. The service and food are great!! However the noise level is so uncomfortable and the was not a full seating. So bad that the hostess had to go outside when answering the calls. Highly recommend sound proofing panels.“

“I have been ordering takeouts at Il Forno for the past seven. I started with bacon and onions pizza which was great. I then changed to eggplant pizza and it has to be the best I have ever had. Now I have moved on to shrimp marinara with linguine and I can't tell you how great this dish is. The shrimp are so large and fresh and the sauce is excellent. The filet of sole must weigh at least 2 pounds and my husband gets it every week. The filet is enough for two meals and so is the shrimp. Thank you Il Forno for making our Friday takeout a special treat.“

“I literally can’t believe how incredible the food was. This is what casual Chinese used to taste like back in the day. It was as if I was a child tasting boneless spare ribs and crab rangoon for the very first time.. The spare ribs were charred and tender and the rangoon was made with actual crab as opposed to the typical “crab flavored” cream cheese. The pork fried rice was also remarkably flavorful with large cubes of pork and perfectly cooked onion. Those who have complained about the food specifically must be miserable Karens. This is my new favorite casual Chinese spot. 10/10“

“Easily, my favorite diner. I can’t get enough of the chicken souvlaki meal: $17 for a Greek salad, French fries, a giant hunk of feta cheese, a toasted pita and 3-4 fantastically cooked and seasoned chicken breasts? YES, PLEASE. I order it when we go here for BREAKFAST. Lol. I recently had it delivered through uber eats but we also love their breakfast and they have outstanding burgers too! Definitely kicks the elm and duchess’ butts. Oh yeah, and since I had to meet a quota on uber eats to get the discount, I got an order of their rice pudding which may be the best rice pudding I’ve ever had. Super sweet and creamy. No lie, I’m probably going there today before I go hang out with my dad. 😀“

“Underrated by far. The food here is excellent in every way and made with care. Highly recommend!“
