My wife and I came to Trumbull Kitchen with our son, daughter-in-law and grandkids after attending the Disney on Ice show. We had a great experience all around and the food and service were top notch. Our server was awesome and took great care of us. I absolutely love the Rock Shrimp appetizer and my Stone Pie was excellent. Trumbull Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants and we try to return as often as possible.

The place is very clean, the service was great, and the pizza was delicious. Only criticism was the music was kind of loud and it was quite pricey. Compared to actual New Haven pizza the taste was there , but it’s way more expensive.
