Restaurants near First Congregational Church of East Haven

We had a 7:00 p.m. reservation and was promptly seated. Our waitress was very friendly but not overdoing it. Our food came out promptly and perfect The Braciole and spicy meatballs are our go-to for appetizers and we both had a filet mignon cooked perfectly . Both me and my husband went home with leftovers because there was so much food. We go every year for our anniversary. And will continue coming back. Price is great for great food. Only complaint was multiple people going in in sweat outfits I wish they would look at the dress code a little more strictly for a high-end restaurant.

Gioia is our favorite restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut. It’s a whole experience and everything on the menu is delicious. You just gotta go there. Make a reservation first. We will keep going back!

I don’t even know where to begin.. I came here to celebrate my boyfriends 40th birthday. The waiter we had was Lonnie and he was absolutely exceptional from point A to point B. Welcoming, kind, attentive but not overbearing, fast, personable and just all around accommodating thus helping me execute a perfect birthday dinner evening. The Branzino was by far the best I’ve ever had and got my boyfriends first time trying it, he was a huge fan. Love this place! Will be back again. Thank you Lonnie for your great service!

We love this place, but be ready for a whole new menu! We used to love the duck nachos now replaced with duck tostados...they are good but not like the nachos. That could be personal though. The place is still wonderful. Our waiter was amazing a lot of fun. It is now owned by the same restaurant group that owns Union League, but still nothing like Union League-the atmosphere is still the same.

The service and food is always over the top. It’s a great place to go..
