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."

Perfect experience as always! Consiglio’s is our go-to for celebrations (in this case, a late Valentine’s Day dinner).

We had a fantastic evening! Great classics like the meatballs and calamari and some amazing specials: oso bucho, pork chops, and pasta. Capped with a great bottle of Chianti and tiramisu. Great service and lovely atmosphere. A New Haven favorite!

Great place. Tightly packed unfortunately and seems like it was overbooked so there was a wait period despite having a reservation. Food and drinks were good.

I arrived earlier than my husband for dinner on Valentine's Day. They accommodated me at the bar while I waited, helping me secure a seat. The place was understandably busy on this night but the service was still terrific. We wound up staying at the bar to eat (by choice). The food was very good with more than enough to bring home leftovers. I don't want to recommend much further in case I can't get my own reservations the next time I want!
