Start your meal with an appetizer like the cauliflower with truffle oil, eggplant rollatini, or the fried calamari.

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.
