Unfortunately food was not as advertised. Seems like they are relying on their past laurels and now that the area is mostly tourists, the quality doesn't seem to be a priority. The same for Libby's next door. Went there for dessert and it was terrible.
Consiglio's - New HavenResponded 2 days ago
Rich -Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear that both your meal here and dessert at another local business in our neighborhood didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to deliver authentic, high-quality experiences to all our guests—locals and visitors alike. Your feedback is important, and we’ll be reviewing it carefully to improve.

As always this is our favorite night out in New Haven. The food is always amazing and the service is the best. From the time we parked we were greeted with a smile and a friendly conversation. Love the patio on a beautiful summer night. Now better place to be .

This is our overall favorite and the meals were excellent from the Cauliflower Flatbread to the shrimp cocktail to start. Chicken Rosa is my wife's favorite and she devoured. My son's had Chicken Picata and Shrimp Picata and they throughly enjoyed. I had the Veal Margherita, and I love it. Only negative was a large group of kids and family in the front and we did not enjoy the noise from the group, but thankfully they left at 7. Still an amazing place.
