TESTIMONIALS

My wife an I were fortunate to enjoy a wonderful evening with a host at Strega this week. The atmosphere was a comfortable chic and artistic without being overpowering. It was not busy (Very suprised by that), the service was super attentive...but not intrusive. It's been a while since I've been on the receiving end of such quality service. The food...amazing. You can tell the Chef really plans out each dish to invigorate all the senses...simple in that there is only things on the plate that make it better...nothing extra. Texture plays a big role...from the super velvet life MELANZANA RIPIENA, crisp and bright Strega salad to the perfetly balanced Carpaccio Di Manzo (this was a real treat)...and finally the Short Rib which was excellence. We left very satisfied and can't wait to have an excuse to make the 4hr trek to New Haven again so that we can try more things on the menu. It really was an exceptional evening...they are only a few weeks old, so I'd get in while you can...for sure they will be a busy spot in the near future!

The food was absolutely delicious, and they had especially remarkable gluten free pasta - potentially the best I've had in 10 years of being gluten free. Impressive wine list to go with as well! I'll definitely be back to try more dishes and will recommend this to others :)

Lovely addition to the New Haven dining scene. Interesting wine list. The salmon was delicious and the gluten free pasta was top notch. Appropriately attentive service from the friendly staff. I'd love to get back there soon to try the tasting menu!

The owners went out of their way to ensure wonderful dining experience. Food is next level - we liked everything we had but my favorite is the eggplant appetizer and salmon main course. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

We were so impressed with the quality of the food and the attentiveness of everyone at Strega. Every bite we took was both fresh and comforting at the same time. We can’t wait to come back — Strega is a new favorite of ours!

First things first; Please understand that this is Strega’s fine dining experience. It’s a different vibe than the Milford location. A bright and modern aesthetic, no pizza, a few speciality mixed drinks and the restaurant holds 6 tables with 24 people max. Please don’t let the stark difference deter! It’s very intentional. The experience for us was truly special. The staff were top notch, and the food absolutely delivered on taste, presentation, quality and intrigue. We did the chefs tasting menu. We were pleasantly surprised with plates we would have never ordered otherwise. An experimental dive into Italian cuisine, the chef plays with interesting pairings and bountiful ingredients, but absolutely sticks the landing. Fettuccina Di Seppia - Cuttlefish Linguini, Orzo Alle Erbe Di Campo - Barley Risotto, and Trofie Al Pesto with Shrimp Tartare were among some of the offerings we enjoyed. A few specialty cocktails were available. We were delighted with a Grapefruit and Rose libation, but all sounded tasty. I went with a wine - a couple wines-by-the-glass are available. I asked for a dealers choice, and it delivered. Tons of wines available by the bottle. We wrapped it up with 2 small deserts; tiramisu and cannoli with freshly made cocoa whipped cream. All and all, Strega New Haven did not disappoint. We knew the experience would be different compared to its Milford location, and we embraced it tenfold. Thank you to the chefs and staff - we’ll be back!
