Top 5 Specialty Food in New Haven County

350 Hawthorne Ave, Derby, CT 06418, United States

“Really cool, old school Italian vibe in here. Very friendly and welcoming staff and the food was absolutely delicious. The Roseland special pie is without a doubt the one to get with their homemade sausage. Portnoy gave this place an 8.6… I’d probably rank it 8.1. Wasn’t my absolute favorite but still an amazingly good pie.”

“The lights were a little too bright and in the injera portion was slim but the quality of food was off the charts. Great value for the price. We enjoyed it. The most important thing to know is to try the vegetarian combo meal for two(which is not on the menu). That way you can get a variety of specialty items. Most people who appreciate ethnic food will be happy to try”

“A bunch of friends of mine and I picked this restaurant to meet up and have lunch before Christmas all the fish options where awesome, bacon cheeseburger looked really good and the wings had a nice kick 👍, wait staff was on point we decided to journal it for the next meeting 😋 we will be back Thanks Seven Seas Restaurant 🌊.”

“The chowder was like nothing I have ever had before. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The special touch of Santa Clause at this time of the year was really great. Santa really was great with young and this very old person. The prices were reasonable and everyone in our party of 9 enjoy their meal. I would recommend this diner to anyone traveling in that area. Easy in and easy out.”

“We had a great experience at the vineyard. The tasting menu was great and we got to select from a range of wine. I must say I was impressed by their overall collection. Place is clean with ample space to sit indoors and outdoors. You can also bring in your mats and picnic basket and sit near to the vineyard. I am giving 4 stars for a) the food options are very little. Food truck was average. Also, we were expecting good cheese platter atleast. b) if you sit outside there’s no umbrella shade or covers. I feel the tables should have that option. The hosts were very good and welcoming. Definitely recommend visiting once.”

“Great little ice cream place discovered while driving through CT! Taste and sweetness of the ice cream weren't overwhelming. Plenty of flavors to choose from, covering a long range.”

“OMG! Talk about food that makes you want to come back! 5 stars for many reasons. Excellent service was provided all the way through from start to finish. Food was delivered very quickly and it was hot and delicious! Fries were crispy, sandwich was moist and yummy, don't even get me started on the (Custom) Banana Nutella French Toast! My wife tried the Avacado Omelette and also gave it 5 stars! Even the Cole Slaw was good, and we never eat the Cole Slaw! Coffee was hot and perfectly robust 😋 I believe it's Omar coffee brand but for some reason it tastes better than other restaurants lol I'm not sure what they're doing better. Prices were fair considering prices are going up everywhere, we still kept it under $50 not including tip. Definitely plan on coming back!”

“Always amazing food and service. It's great, check it out!!”

258 Naugatuck Ave, Milford, CT 06460, United States

“I've been a return customer for about 10 years. Unfortunately, my experience today convinced me not to return. This is a top dollar location. Today I paid the most money I've ever spent here, received the least amount of food ever and it was poorly assembled to boot. Gone are the days of a pizza that just.barely fits into the box. My large pizza was small, oddly shaped and oddly cut. The two meatball cones I ordered were served in old bread and with half the number of meatballs I've come to expect. Didn't bother calling to complain because it's over an hour round trip. I hope this is just a one off, but I won't ever come back to find out.”

“Best sushi in CT”

5 Foxon Rd, North Branford, CT 06471, United States

“We had JCakes do our wedding cake for our December 2023 wedding. Our consult was quick and efficient and we were impressed by the choices. They understood our vision and executed it with precision. Zero issues AND I —as the bride—ate one and a half slices of cake during the reception which if you are a bride you will understand..the cake was THAT GOOD. Cannot recommend them enough.”

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was amazing. This was our first Chinese spot in New Haven. I got the mongolian beef and my wife got the beef and black pepper salt. This was 10/10 great 👍🏾 the texture of the beef black pepper salt was soft but slightly fatty and flavorful. Highly recommend.”

“Their best drink was the Frosé. Lots of options for seating indoor & outdoor. Gteat view and photoops. The setup, design, layout etc is super cute. Staff wasn't that nice or attentive when was needed. Got the charcuterie board for 25.99$ which came in a paper box with 3 types of cheese, raisins, grapes, crackers, salami, dried apricots and 2 pieces of Chocolate. Was def not worth it but wanted to give it a shot. Good thing you're able to bring in your own foods. Would highly recommend that. And we had asked for 2 plastic forks and were told they don't give since what they serve is finger food but then they gave us the 2. Weird. Probably would come again down the road”

“The Chicken Pad Thai dish is my favorite thing to get for take out. It’s always consistently good!”

34 Kimberly Ave, New Haven, CT 06519, United States

“Takes you right back to the 80s from the way the joint looks, to the taste of the pizza, even how you pay harkens back to the 80s: cash only. Lol. It really just took me back. Tastes like pizza did when we were kids. Check them out if you want something both different AND nostalgic.”

“thought it was a nice place, it’s not they reuse dirty food cuz they don’t want to waste and charge over 10$ for a sandwhich. Also not the brightest of people work there and the one that works the grill looks like she’s always on something and is very rude the one with black hair i believe i forget her name. i honestly wouldn’t go there for anything other than meat the oldest one also treats me like i don’t know anything even though i’m a full grown man i go in there once a week and they also talk bad about customers every time it’s a very unprofessional establishment”
