Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in North Branford

The food was amazing and so was the service. It was my first time there, I had the steak and eggs brunch paired with a caesar chicken salad. The tea and lemon mocktail was delicious (I ordered two) fair pricing for two. Deff a spot i'd visit again for a nice relaxing brunch.

Food was good. Drinks were good. Staff were polite and attentive. Greek band was a lot of fun. It was a fun night. We’ll all be back! Thanks for a fun night!

We’ve dined at L’Orcio many times over the years. The food is always fresh and delicious, the service is always exemplary

Food was great , nice atmosphere. The jazz band was very good just a bit loud. Wish they could make separate checks.

Beautiful renovation of this old neighborhood restaurant. The bar area is fantastic; cocktails are top tier. We ordered steak and oysters and icebox cake for dessert. The steak was very good, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sides were a little disappointing (creamed spinach was kind of watery, mushrooms were a little bland, something tasted "off" with my port wine sauce). The oysters were excellent. Icebox cake was pretty darn close to how my Aunty Linda used to make it. Our server Shane was a delight. Only one snafu - we had ordered the oysters as an appetizer. But the first thing to come out was my steak; my date's steak came about 2-3 min. later - always awkward to have two people at the table and only one with their food for a few minutes. Oysters didn't come out until about mid-way through the meal. It was clear that something got mixed up in the kitchen which is OK; it happens. We will definitely be back - I'm dying to try the pasta. The only thing that held me back from giving the food 5 stars is our favorite steakhouse is Washington Prime and the food here is just not quite at that level (but the prices aren't as crazy either). For Hamden, it's a fantastic addition to the scene!! And you can't beat the vibes.
