If you want a classic, red sauce place with huge portions (read: classic comfort food), Adrianna's is awesome. I think your taste is already on full display with your insane claim that there are only 2 good restaurants in New Haven 🙄

Reply to Looking to move to New Haven, where to live? by paloxalto

Fair haven heights has a lot of good, cheap apartments. Also check out the yale housing Facebook group, lots of cheaper apartments there. City bus service is free for the foreseeable future so if you don’t have a car you can still live in the other peripheries where it’s cheaper and not be cut off.

It would needlessly clog up an already struggling violation appeals process. Would overwhelmingly confuse drivers who are used to right on red which would need to be posted, fewer right on red intersections would only congest intersections more and lead to longer wait times. Won’t deter dangerous drivers who’ll keep violating anyways.

on the noise side if relying on digital location of high-noise offenders to dispatch a unit a similar system has already failed in the shotspotter gunshot detector

This is an important point about getting it to go. Like driving a new car off the dealership lot, a pizza loses much of its value as soon as the lid closes on the box.

Zuppardi's is excellent pie and always worthy of mention in these discussions. But if you're coming in from out of town you should really go to one of the big 3.

This is terrible advice. While these two restaurants are great (especially the oyster house), New Haven has a restaurant scene that punches above it's weight. It really depends on your price point and what you like. I just had a birthday meal at Olea that was excellent. Union League is great for French. Zinc might be a good option if you're really focused on local ingredients, especially if you like a bit of an Asian influence. As someone else said, September in Bangkok is excellent for Thai, and the owner just opened a second restaurant downtown called Noa. I hear good things about Tibetan Cafe since they relocated from Middletown, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I prefer Adriana's and L'Orcio for Italian. If you like sushi and want a special (but expensive) experience, the tasting menu at Otaru is awesome. I think Lazeez has done a good job of filling the void Thali left when it comes to Indian. We've had a few seafood-heavy meals at South Bay that we've enjoyed recently. I could offer lots of other recs if I knew more about your taste, OP.

What do you think compares? Olea and union league are boring old people food with shitty ambience and service. Olea almost killed my friend with a nut allergy on two separate occasions on something easy (romesco sauce). September in Bangkok is super hit or miss with the food, my wife loves that place so we eat there pretty frequently and half the time my food is disgusting. Noa isn’t any better. And the service sucks at both places. Sherkaan is great if you like food served out of hotel pans. Plus none of those places have drinks like tavern on state either.
