Best Gluten Free Restaurants in Hamden

I stopped in by myself for a quick bite to eat. I ended up staying for a few hours, by choice. The food was delicious and the beers were great. I had the Shrimp Lettuce Wraps and the Penne Alla Vodka. The lettuce wraps were amazing, but very messy. The vodka sauce had the right amount of spice and wasn’t too creamy. With that said, the IPAs stole the show. I will definitely be back.

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.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner on the patio on a perfect spring evening. Our favorite option is a neighborhood spot with great food, a friendly vibe, excellent service and good value. Cafe Bravo hits all the high notes.
