Always excellent, this is one of our favorite restaurants in New Haven. On this visit we sat in the patio outside in the back for the first time. Very pleasant space on a beautiful evening. Service is always great. The food is traditional but not heavy, the pasta sauces are particularly good.

My family loves Consiglio's, especially when the weather warms up and their outside seating area is available. Their food and drinks are truly outstanding in a city famous for its Italian food. And what's even better, they can accommodate diners with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Their homemade GF pasta is the best I've ever had.

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.
