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."

Wonderful restaurant! Excellent food and superb service - and the noise level is very nice, despite a packed house! The restaurant has installed noise-damping architecture and keeps the music at soft levels.

To say this is an amazing restaurant, is an understatement. For over 40 years, my family has been coming here and this evening we celebrated another birthday. We frequent here but have always made sure to celebrate my wife's birthday with her favorite meal. Tonight was an amazing experience as the entire restaurant sang happy birthday. We look forward to many more years celebrating.

Food was good but service was very slow. When we got there the place was empty but it still took 25 minutes to get our salad, another 30 for two pasta dishes and an unbelievable 30 minutes for two coffees. The waitress was friendly but something was really off for such tardy service.

The food was excellent!! We enjoyed the meatballs, panecotte, salmon consiglio & chicken picstta! The Chianti was really nice too. The only thing I would recommend is to be more clear on parking arrangements on this site.
