Must get the calamari... They use the freshest squid and light batter. Some of the best calamari I've ever had. Try the NY style too. Fantastic authentic Italian dishes and wine menu is a great value.
Great service and the atmosphere and decor is so inviting.
By far the best kept secret of the New Haven Restaurant scene🍷🍷🍷 Food with an Italian/ European flare that’s absolutely delicious served in a warm relaxed atmosphere making dinner there as good as traveling to Italy without getting on an airplane. If you think you’re going to gat something better in NYC or anywhere else- you’re wrong. Highest recommendation 👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳
Just had a wonderful dinner at Cafe Bravo! And our server Kathleen made it that much better! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We went for 1st time tonight it was fabulous! From the minute we walked in, service, menu, food, dessert, coffee we will be back soon!!! Make sure you try it you won't be disappointed!! Excellent spectacular delish!!!
The food is consistently excellent. Fresh, delicious and served by the nicest people. Wish they would open an outpost in Bethesda, MD. Forgot to mention the bread and focaccia is yummy. As are the desserts. You just can't miss when having lunch or dinner in New Haven.
Delicious, never a disappointment. Everything we've ever had there we love! Need to get back there more often!
Everyone enjoyed their dinners. Started with appetizers fried calamari and fried mozz. Dinners were excellent. Staff and bartender were very attentive. Definitely will go back.
Beautiful restaurant great food great wine selection.will definitely be back

Was there last night with friends for restaurant week. The food was delicious, the service fabulous. We absolutely loved it and we plan on coming back.
Fantastic meals every time we go to Caffe Bravo. Food is prepared perfectly, service is great and it's a very comfortable place to gather with family and friends. We went last weekend for my mom's birthday celebration and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
A little gem in the City great food. The service was excellent I can't wait to go again.
This restaurant is truly the best in town! AUTHENTIC 100 percent!
Super fresh flaky pastry and great macchiato for a suffering displaced northern californian.donp
The food is delicious. Many of the dishes are simple (e.g. pasta, marinara sauce, clams) but each component is exquisite (homemade, perfectly cooked pasta, great sauce, etc). The desserts are to die for. And the patio is lovely, especially when uncovered in the summer. The service is always good. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a classic Italian restaurant!
Excellent service. We had lunch on the patio. Caprese panini made me feel like I was in Italy. My companions raved about the seafood dishes.
Brilliant food. Outstanding staff. My wife loves the shrimp scampi, my go to is the eggplant parmesan. Excellent classic Italian dishes and delicious specials. This is best in class of New Haven's amazing Italian restaurants and I realize that's saying a lot.
They have outdoor seating most of the year available in front of the restaurant. Service is prompt. Vegetarian friendly menu. Highly recommended.
The food was excellent,the atmosphere was beautiful and the staff pleasant and accommodating. The weather also cooperated. Making for a perfect evening meal served alfresco. I had the pasta fazool for an appetizer and it hade great depth of flavor and well thought out presentation.
An amazing little local Italian restaurant in the heart of East Rock. The ambiance is intimate and great for a date night. Even with limited seating you never feel rushed. The fig pizza was incredible and the creme brulee was one of the best I've had.
