“This place is the best restaurant outside of Naples Italy. My wife and I have been to Naples many times and Zenelli’d reminds us so much of the restaurants in Naples.“

“Modern Apizza is our favorite pizza restaurant. Always a must when we are in New Haven. Nothing comes close in Florida“

“I came from Virginia to visit my sister and kept hearing about it and wanted to try it. The Fresh Tomatoes Pizza was excellent! The staff was very friendly. Loved it!!“

“Stopped into Brick Oven as a suggestion from my high school buddy who lives in New Haven. Will be a place I frequent going forward in my travels to New Haven. The pizza was great but the customer service was even greater.. The owner actually took the time to converse with us and to have good pizza and good customer service puts this spot high on my list of places to go period. Da prez“

“This is the tenth person I put on to this place. He was sooooo in love with the margarita pizza. Usually I get the shrimp pesto (my favorite) but I didn’t want to scare him. You would’ve thought he was going crazy while eating. Thank for the many years I’ve came it turned out perfect :)“

“@shellandbonesoysterbarandgrill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful birthday party with my beloved wife. Her request this time was seafood, and I indulged her with this excellent decision. I highly recommend it. Especially the BOUILLABAISE 49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass in their red sauce was delicious! The salmon and the kids' meal were good, even though it was a Monday, the place and the bar had a great atmosphere. Food: BOUILLABAISE $49 Scallops + Mussels + Manila Clams + Rock Shrimp + Black Bass (It was delicious, my darling) SALMON WITH PEPITA COVER $40* Spiced Pumpkin Puree + Broccoli Rabe + Tomatillo Green Sauce DRINKS: Mojitos Margaritas We're almost there; An excellent place, we loved it so much that we made a reservation through Opentable, which never fails. I recommend going to Bajada del Sol. I highly recommend it. Shell & Bones Oyster Bar and Grill“

“The best friendly service with a smile and best pizza around ???❤“

“I chose Consiglio’s for my birthday dinner, and I really couldn’t have made a better choice! Four of us visited for 12:30pm on a Friday, so it made for a quieter day on Wooster Street. Our waitress was friendly, and I can’t get over how delicious the food was. So many great homemade pastas, and everything was clearly made from quality ingredients. The braciola was so tender, and I really enjoyed their vodka sauce. Great drinks and desserts as well! Our family left impressed and full. A classy place without being pretentious. We will absolutely be back and will keep it in mind for more special occasions!“

“You must eat here! One of the great meals of all time. The food is spectacular and the service is just as good.“

“First found Ninth Square at CompassionFest! Food SO delicious & healthy - now that we’ve found their New Haven place we can get the food more often. The pictures & videos make my mouth water!!!😋“

“Delicious South East Asian/ Indonesian food in New Haven! I was with the group of friends from New York City visited the town. We’re recommended by our friends not to missed the place for dinner. The Beef Rendang absolutely must try, The ShrimpMee Goreng and The Beef Beehon Goreng are delicious and don’t miss The TOKA Curry. Service was good with Art inspired inside the restaurant. We’re definitely will be back soon!“

“Love it !! Unique experience“

“Absolutely delicious food in tremendous service!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit today, the food was delicious and the service EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for offering the GLUTEN-FREE injera and all of the creative vegetarian dishes... we loved the fresh and flavorful salads (Key Sir Selata and the Timatim Fitfit), then had the best Ater Kik and Tikel Gomen I have ever had in my life! We will definitely return, and highly recommend to anyone in search of authentic Ethiopian cuisine!“

“Great atmosphere. Food is worth it—not vegan? Still delish. Try it—you’ll see!“

“Incredibly delicious and unique!“

“Started with the beef kefta kabob, served with jasmine rice, Arabic (tomato and herb) salad, pita bread, and tzatziki sauce. The beef was well-seasoned with traditional Mediterranean spices and really tasty. Finished with a pistachio cake with a pistachio mousse bottom layer, frozen cream center, and soft warm philo top. Everything was fresh and delicious! The service was prompt, but very friendly and helpful with picking out a dessert. Other than the last bite of dessert, forgot to take pictures, but will next time -definitely will be a next time! Thank you, folks!!“

“I dined at Rawa one time but I recomme the lamb chops, pita, spicy chicken wings, chicken breast on a bed of lentils.“

We ordered the mushroom pasta (truffle butter is divine), the roasted duck and bolognese. Yummy all around. Service is amazing and definitely contributes the most to this 5 star rating! We didn’t check out the rooftop but I heard that’s nice too.“

“The food is excellent, so full of flavor!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely worth the stop at LA CHICKY MUNCHY at the Food Truck Paradise in New Haven! The owners were super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in not only their food but also their truck—it was spotless. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I had the shrimp in garlic sauce with tostones—so good! And the lobster empanada? Stuffed, crispy, and fried fresh absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“One of our favorite spots“

“I’m shocked that there’s no rating as this is the BEST pizza 🍕 I’ve ever tasted in the northeast!!!“

“Want Excellent and authentic Food , Go To Taqueria Oyameles‼️‼️ Brrrrr los duros 🔥“

“In the gritty underbelly of New Haven, where the Ivy League pretensions clash with the raw hunger of the streets, there's this unassuming joint called Menya-Gumi that's slinging bowls of ramen that could make a grown man weep. I wandered in, half-expecting another watered-down noodle farce, but goddamn, that Tori Paitan hit like a thunderclap—creamy chicken broth so rich and layered it whispers secrets of slow-simmered bones and subtle dashi, topped with a gooey ajitama egg that oozes like forbidden sin, tender chashu pork that melts on the tongue, and noodles with just the right chew to fight back. It's not some bullshit fusion gimmick; it's honest, soul-stirring washoku that transports you to a Tokyo back alley, minus the jet lag.
But don't sleep on the rest of the menu, because this place is a goddamn treasure trove. The dim sum? Those shrimp har gow are plump, translucent miracles, bursting with sweet oceanic brine and a hint of chive that cuts through like a switchblade. Pork and shrimp siu mai follow up with that perfect steamed bounce, savory as hell. Dive into the Hong Kong side for curry fish balls that pack a spicy, bouncy punch—street food elevated to art—or the giant shrimp wontons in red oil, slick with chili heat and pork-shrimp umami that lingers like a bad habit you don't want to kick. The katsu sando? Crispy fried pork on fluffy bread, simple yet profound, like a love letter to comfort. And that egg sando—Kewpie-smeared, pillowy perfection—it's the kind of thing you'd kill for after a bender.
The owner's got that quiet fire, family-run vibe that screams authenticity, portions generous enough to satisfy the hungriest bastard, and prices that won't gut your wallet. Menya-Gumi isn't just food; it's a visceral experience, a reminder that in a world full of mediocre slop, there's still places where the broth tells a story worth savoring. If you're in New Haven and you miss this, you're a fool. Five stars, no question—go now, before the crowds ruin it.“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“such a nice cozy restaurant. love going there for brunch in Sundays. everyone is so friendly“

“Best Jamaican food I’ve had yet! Great staff who love what they do and put pride in what they serve. Anyone who wants to try some great, authentic Jamaican food and have some good vibes, this is the place to come! 😁“

“Excellent food! Excellent service!“

“I’m a late-comer to original Frank Pepe’s due to distance. Oh, what I have been missing! You do need to be strategic about timing because it’s very popular — because it’s exceptionally good. Fairly easy access from I-95.“

“Excellent dinner and very friendly staff“

“The food is super tasty and the service is very nice.“

“Had a great meal, the crab cakes were delicious! Love the ambiance! Waitress was fantastic with great service. For such an elegant charming restaurant, was disappointed the hostess was dressed in leggings and crop top …. took away from our first impressions unfortunately.“

“The food was all around good. The burgers were juicy and perfectly cooked. I loved the pretzel nuggets. Drinks were good. Could have been a little stronger but overall decent. The atmosphere felt quiet. Granted it was a Thursdays afternoon at 4. We were the only ones there the whole time.“

“Hi there…. 🥙 I know about this , I tell everybody I know about this place. Fast,good,delicious and is a nice family, friends restaurant. 🥙 Great food, always fresh,reasonable prices. love it!!! 💕🚚🙏🏻“

“I was in town visiting, enjoying the holiday & I I had been looking for vegan options. At first I thought Vegan & Italian.. impossible but I was intrigued nonetheless. So I drove to Bella’s ordered the vegan garlic knots, vegan cheese pizza and the vegan strawberry cake. & to my surprise it was PHENOMENAL. In NYC I cannot find the perfect vegan slice. The slices I’ve come across are usually pretty thin or the cheese is weird.

But this was perfect. Nice amount of dough, perfect amount of sauce and the cheese just ooey & gooey how I remember it to be before I transitioned to the vegan life almost 10 years ago. The garlic knots; piping hot, fresh and well-seasoned. The strawberry cake was the cherry on top. I enjoy good food, but when the food is everything I imagine the only thing left to do is leave a review. I’m happy I caught them on a slow day. I’ll have to take another trip to CT just to visit Bella.“

“Amazing authentic Italian food; cozy & classy ambiance, private back room for parties & outdoor seating.“
