Welcome to Consiglio’s – One of the Best Italian Restaurants in Connecticut
Located in the heart of New Haven’s historic Little Italy, Consiglio’s is proud to be recognized as a top-rated Italian restaurant in Connecticut, serving authentic Italian cuisine made from family recipes passed down for generations. Our story begins in 1938, when Annunziata and Salvatore Consiglio immigrated from Amalfi, Italy, to New Haven’s Wooster Street neighborhood. Inspired by their Italian roots and passion for cooking, they opened a small neighborhood eatery called The Big Apple, just steps from their home. With the help of their eight children, they operated every part of the restaurant—from chefs and waitstaff to bartenders and hosts.
As word spread about their homemade Italian dishes, warm hospitality, and welcoming atmosphere, The Big Apple quickly became a favorite among locals and visitors alike. It wasn’t long before it earned a reputation as one of the best places to eat in New Haven, CT.
In the early 1960s, during New Haven’s redevelopment program, the restaurant was relocated across the street and renamed Consiglio’s. Consiglio’s has been in its current location on Wooster Street since the early 60’s, where it has proudly stood ever since.
Today, Consiglio’s Restaurant is still family-owned and operated, now in its third generation. Trish Consiglio Perrotti, along with her husband Dave and children, continues the legacy her grandparents, father, aunts, and uncles began—offering the same homemade Italian food made with fresh ingredients, traditional recipes, and love.
Whether you’re looking for the best pasta in New Haven, romantic Italian dining in CT, or just a place to enjoy delicious Italian fare with friends and family, Consiglio’s offers an unmatched experience in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We also have a gorgeous patio that runs with heaters early spring through the fall.
Join us for lunch on Fridays, dinner Wednesday through Saturday, for a night out, and see why we’re considered one of the best Italian restaurants in CT.
