If you are ever in the area, do yourself a favor and visit Rosso Vino! This restaurant is exceptional! Delicious food, generous portions, great service, and great ambiance! Be sure to make a reservation, because this place fills up! We came to celebrate our great friends birthday here and it was absolutely perfect! Sangria's were top notch, and we all had different apps and they were all delicious! (Lobster Bisque, Zucchini Blossoms, and Caprese Salad).For my entree, I chose the Linguine e Vongole - Fresh Clams, Heirloomtomatoes, Garlic, white wine, Olive Oil and red Pepper Flakes over Linguine. The amount of FRESH little necks (clams) on my plate was mind blowing and they were so fresh and flavorful! (See photo) Finally a restaurant that actually GIVES YOU SOME CLAMS!!! Fantastic flavors and I hate to admit it, but I ATE EVERY BITE!!! lol My hubby had a shrimp dish over pasta, I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called I want to say it was Shrimp Fra Diavolo and he said it was really good, and the Birthday girl had Lobster Ravioli and it was DELISH!! Bread pudding for dessert was AMAZING too! Be sure to save room!!!! :)WE WILL BE BACK!!! :)
3. Strega

We were all very impressed with the high quality food we enjoyed at Strega, from our appetizers (burrata cheese with fresh cherry tomatoes; arancini) to our respective main courses (the Bufala pizza, margherita pizza, and ravioli). Everything is clearly fresh, hand-made (pasta included), and cooked the authentic Italian way. New Haven is chock-full of pizza places, including several famous spots (Frank Pepe's, Modern, Sally's) with much better than average pizza. However Strega has the pizza that most closely resembles an authentic Neapolitan pizza, with a light, airy, chewy crust and simple, fresh toppings. We will be back for sure.
