Consiglio's Restaurant: A True Taste of Italy in the Heart of New Haven's Little Italy District Consiglio's Restaurant has been a staple of the Little Italy district in New Haven for over 80 years. Founded in 1938, this third-generation, family-owned establishment offers a romantic and comfortable atmosphere and uses old-world, family-inspired recipes to create delicious dishes.
Consiglio's menu is focused on delivering affordable, delectable food for guests to enjoy any day of the week. Start your meal with an appetizer like the cauliflower with truffle oil, eggplant rollatini, or the fried calamari. For the main course, indulge in popular dishes like the Lobster Ravioli, Homemade Cavatelli and Braciole, or their award-winning Lasagna, which recently took home the title of "Best Pasta in the State."

Consiglio’s has become our family’s destination for celebrations over the years. We always have great meals and service and the most creative drinks by our favorite bartender, Hailey! The specials are amazing - whoever is coming up with these dishes - keep it up! The classics like eggplant and lasagna cannot be beat. The patio is so fun in the warmer months. Highly recommend a visit.

Consiglios is in my opinion New Haven's finest Italian restaurants. From the delicious homemade bread to the best eggplant parmesan and everything else they offer is dining the way it used to be.

Consiglio’s always hits the spot. Classic food done to perfection. Sitting outside was amazing, however the sun was very hot today. Dinner would have been a better time to go.

Excellent Italian food and great service. We had a wonderful relaxed evening and would recommend Consiglio's to our friends. Eating outdoors made it even nicer. Worth the trip!
