19 Best Italian Restaurants near New Haven

“The food is so good I don't even know where to start. Let's start with starters! Don't ever go there without trying their Bruschetta at least once. Crazy story here... I don't like raw tomatoes. Only everything made with them. However; that Bruschetta I could eat by the barrel full! I've only tried a few different main courses because I am such a huge fan of their Baked Parmesan Spaghetti 🍝!!! That I could eat by the pick-up load full. It warms up so nicely, too. Ask for extra Parmesan packets when you box your stuff up to go because you'll never be able to eat a full dish. I'd order a half order if I were you. Or split a full order with someone else at your table.

The service there is absolutely top notch! The new manager, Thomas, always goes around to make sure your food and the servers are good. Now there are people who are regulars that he'll heckle but it's all coming from a good place. Some of the servers are that way as well.

Any-who, get your butts in their seats. I feel New Haven has the best food and service of all their restaurant branches! It's small but mighty! It's a shame the place isn't bigger. That's the only downfall in my opinion.

Update: 7/24/26 I tried something new tonight
The Italian Beef. It was so outstanding that I can't even put into words how good it was. Small, succulent pieces of beef. Smothered in cheese. I had them hold the peppers but I told them to bring on the onions! The au jus was incredible! A bit salty but so delicious 😋!“

“Tried the mamma sandwich today so good amazing food as always“

“Got home and didn't have all of my order. I even had them repeat it to me when I placed my order 😔“

“We had a fantastic experience with Pasta Di Guy for our wedding! They were prompt, professional, and delivered everything exactly as promised. The team delivered appetizers ahead of the reception and returned later with the dinner, ensuring everything was fresh and perfectly timed. They also made sure the buffet tables were set up correctly and that all the food was arranged just right, which really helped everything run smoothly. Beyond their excellent service, the team was super affordable and incredibly accommodating. They answered all of my questions and responded quickly, which made planning so much easier and less stressful. And the food—absolutely incredible! So many of our guests told us how much they loved it. We’re so glad we chose Pasta Di Guy and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable caterer with delicious food and great service.“

“great service, food was great and fresh!! definitely will be back.“

“Amazing! The service was fast.“

“While most of us understand customer service as the direct one-on-one interaction between a consumer and a company representative, when this is done with grace, joy and true compassion, it becomes something memorable to witness. I visited Casa! on Jefferson Blvd Friday night, during my overnight stay in FW, after a week's work away of home. The beautiful, blonde bartender (I missed her name...Mea Culpa) hardworking mom of 3 addressed all her patrons by name, smiling, engaging, sweet as a marshmallow but a hawk overseeing that all of us were taken care of on a very busy night, was a masterclass, the embodiment of world class service herself. Kudos to Casa! for recognizing talent where it is and to her, my best wishes that her son's 16th birthday at the Michigan game with his friends, was a blast.“

“better service and food quality. the mgr was a total jerk almost because I asked for dry breadsticks cause I have to watch my salt an normally the other manager that use to be there was great at making this with no problem. 15 min went by n no dry bread sticks yet even after our food came out and then the girl went back to get them and then 10 more min went by and now we r almost done with our food so a family member went and asked about them and they forgot and just put them in and not even 2 min later they brought them out half raw so I took them back and asked if it were possible to get dry cooked bread sticks that its already been over 20 min cause you kept forgetting n then bring me under cooked bteadsticks to 5-10 min later the rude manager up front brought them out with a grin but now they are black. I asked him as a mgr do you think this is presentable and represented fazzolis? with a smile hr say I don't know I don't eat dry bread sticks and I told him this was poor service and uncalled for and with a smile he says have a merry Christmas..this was 3 weeks ago and I'll be happy to send u a pic of all the bread sticks that I still have a photo of. I filed a complaint online before leaving and obviously this is how you people handle business because no one replied back. we spent almost $30 that could have been spent where they care about their food and customers.“

“Had dinner at the Maplecrest Road in Fort Wayne, IN, it was awesome 👏🏽 enjoyed our meal of the royal feast. We don’t go to any other pizza place in town.“

“Want Thank Tom Fife it was a pleasure meeting you your restaurant is amazing the food brings back memories of my home Chicago but in Fort Wayne Indiana beautiful restaurant services is awesome friendly staff if you want a taste of Chicago come check out Giordano's Pizza 🍕“

“I love Marco's pizza, have no problem with this location. I do have a problem with coupons. I get a flyer that has Fort Wayne, Auburn & Leo, but the coupon code won't work. call the store and they say that code isn't in their system. Corporate needs to be better organized.“

“I when visit Fort Wayne this my go to for a sausage roll. Great food!!“

“Honestly, use to get carry out often but somewhere along the way the pizza...well just lost it's pizzaz. So tonight, decided to give things a try. Wow, right back to the days of is there another piece in the box. Great flavor, hot & just scrumptious. Thanks!“

“My teen and I eat breakfast here nearly every Sunday morning. It is a really fun ritual for us to roll out of bed and go see our favorite waitresses, Shonda and Mary. The food is yummy - my favorite sausage links in town since Link's closed, and my kiddo is crazy for the scrambled eggs. Even when Covid is surging, we can sit far enough from others to feel safe. Having Renaissance as a special part of our weekly routine is really important to our parent/child relationship.“

“love their lemon pepper wings service was great“
