- AArtVIPNew York City •39 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWow! This was some of the most amazing food I've had in a long time. All of it from start to finish. And the owners couldn't be nicer! You have to try Strega.More infoStrega - New HavenPrice: Expensive• Italian• New Haven•4.8
- EEvaChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. The caprese salad was delicious and perfect (and cut up differently, not traditional slices- made it easier to share. ) -highly recommend! My friend ordered the salad with blue cheese/ onions/ steak on it and loved it. I ordered the Olives salad and added crispy chicken to it. It was nice! Our server Daniela was so friendly and helpful!More infoOlives and OilPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• New Haven•4.5

- CChrisConnecticut •1 review5.0Dined on Jul 18, 2025Went here with my girlfriend for a date night and it was perfect. The staff were conversational and very kind. Everything was well kept and clean. The food was perfectly portioned and left us wanting more. The drinks tasted great. Pricing was good and what you would expect from a restaurant with this kind of vibe. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing night!More infoSiena New HavenPrice: Expensive• Italian• New Haven•4.6
- KKevinNew York City •14 reviews4.0Dined on Jul 12, 2025Good news: The food was delicious. I had the Chicken Scarpiella and it was flavorful. My wife ordered the Branzino and she loved it, The portions were large and both dishes were outstanding, Bad news: The service was adequate at best. Our waiter seemed like he was put out by our simple requests - ice when none was provided and water when we ran out. Only once during the 90 minutes or so we were there did anyone offer to refill our waters. We were forced to get various peoples attention for water as our server only checked in with us once while we were eating and once to ask if we wanted dessert. Aside from the hostess who sat us and the food runner who was genuinely friendly and seemed to care about our satisfaction, I was underwhelmed with the service. I would like to return but will need to think twice based on the service.More infoVilla LuluPrice: Moderate• Italian• New Haven•4.3
