East Haven Restaurants

Delicioso! Cast Iron Chef always provides an outstanding meal. Our Server was wonderful.

our 1st brunch at Gioia & of course it didn’t disappoint. So many great dishes it’s hard to choose - so we got a lot - haha. Must try’s - Cacio e pepe scrambled eggs, the Breakfast Sandwich, Eggs Benedict. They had a beef checks hash special - if they have it - GET IT! so much more to try across their menus - we’ll be back.

Everything was as expected for a premium steakhouse... The food, drinks and service were all excellent. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgable. Although it is not an inexpensive place to dine, the prices are typical of other high-end steakhouses.

Food was delicious. Best crab cakes I’ve ever had . Drinks were great and the staff was very attentive and polite. . Ambience is 10/10. My new favorite spot in New Haven

3rd time at The Essex. Food quality is top shelf. Eat at the bar and enjoy one of the best burgers you will ever have!
