Excellent dinner and very friendly staff
. .
I first discovered L’Orcio 15 years ago when I was a 25 year old grad student living in New Haven. It was my favorite place to eat when my parents would come to town to visit. Life looks different now - a husband and three kids later and it’s still my favorite restaurant! We drive over an hour for a special date night or birthday meal. Thanks for consistently being a guaranteed great meal and lovely experience. Here’s to the next 15 years!
