“We celebrated our daughter-in-law's birthday at Aldo's last night, and it was fantastic! The service was outstanding, with a quiet and beautiful ambiance that made the evening even more special. The food was exceptional – everything from the appetizers and drinks to the entrees and dessert was delicious. This isn't just our first visit; we've been enjoying Aldo's for three years now. We started with takeout shortly after moving here, and it was so good, we even delivered dinner to a neighbor undergoing cancer treatment. Their authentic Italian food is exactly what we love, and the convenient 7-minute drive makes it a go-to spot. We already have reservations for Mother's Day – can't wait!“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

The veggies that came with it were reminiscent of the frozen mix my mother used, and the dull part of the meal. My Server was attentive and on top of everything.“

“Let me share with you a little background. I lived in NY for 23 years, and moved to CT. Since then, I couldn’t find a pizza place that reminded me of home. CT has great pizza, don’t get me wrong, but everywhere I’ve gone, there was always something missing.

Enter Mama Rosa’s, a place me and my wife happened to find tucked away in North Haven. The first time we tried, goodness, I fell over. THIS PIZZA IS SO GOOD. It’s almost EXACTLY like a NY Style pizza!

But surely, it can’t be consistent, right? WRONG. We got it maybe 7 more times, all different pizzas, throughout a few months, and man, ITS ALWAYS GOOD!

Today, for the first time, we decided to try something else; a grinder. I got a chicken parm, and my wife got a steak and cheese. We told ourselves, surely, they only specialize in pizza, no way the grinder can be as good…

…WHAT. LO’ AND BEHOLD, THE GRINDER WAS A HIT, both of them!

Which is why I’m writing this review. This is the best pizza place I’ve been to since I’ve lived here in CT. Please keep this place around, there’s truly nothing like it.

Thank you, Mama Rosa’s!“

“It’s bright and so clean and there are white linen tablecloths. Food was steaming hot when brought to our table and delicious too. Not expensive and everyone was pleasant. Other diners looked very happy too! This is our new “go to” restaurant. They serve those delicious warm garlic knots and homemade bread and olives before meals. We had chicken contadina, and linguine with bolognese sauce.

Parking: We did see spaces marked for disabled.“

“I use east street eatery for all my events! Had both my bridal and baby shower there. Fantastic food. I also have used their catering multiple times for my get togethers at home. Food is always perfect.“

“Omg the best food. My favorite is the cherry teriyaki wings. Everything I have ordered was fantastic.“

“Good food and service, Claudia is the best!“

“I won a gift card to La Lupa at an animal rescue event that they donated to the event. We ordered the Panna Cotto, broccoli rabe & sausage & the squash flowers. The food was amazing & the portions were generous. We will definitely be back because of the food & because of their support for my pup’s rescue.“

“Such a lovely venue for that special occasion....hosted my sister's retirement brunch a couple of weeks ago. Everyone loved their entree. Went back for drinks with a friend and had the amazing shrimp special on a Thursday. Loved it. And going back today....“

“Stumbled in randomly and it’s our new favorite! Excellent food, service and vibe!! 🥂“
