Hear from our valued guests
I went with a huge group for my father's birthday. The food was very good with large portions. The waitress was excellent given the craziness of a large Italian family there. Seafood was fresh. My only reason for not giving five stars is my seafood fra diavolo lacked all heat. Nothing. All I can think is that my son and I shared it so the waitress might thought he would not like it. But if she asked she would have known he likes it spicy too. So that was a big disappointment for us both.
Above average everything at this establishment. Service was truly top notch. Very lively atmosphere.
Such a great seafood restaurant! I love the mozzarella appetizer! Shrimp & clam pescatore tastes awesome, the shrimps🍤 are really big! The seafood pizza is an absolute must have, this is my first seafood pizza, I will definitely come back for this. Clean and quiet environment, it takes a while for the food to come, but definitely worth the time. By the way, thank you to our waiter Alex, you are very helpful, nice service!
Haven’t been since 2020 but the food was phenomenal! Combination platter was perfect for a trying a little of everything. If i recall it had lasagna, eggplant, tortellini, and ravioli. Everything was delicious including their own version of lemoncello. We loved it so much we purchased a few bottles to take back home. I do not recall the name of the seafood linguini dish but it was amazing!
On Saturday evening, our children hosted a dinner for us at Brazi's in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. We were joined by numerous friends and family for a delightful evening. Beyond the excellent company, the service, cuisine, and ambiance were exceptional. Our waitstaff and servers demonstrated attentiveness and responsiveness to all our requests. The meals were superb; it is commendable to serve 20 meals promptly with 15 plates cleared. Some of our senior guests utilized take-home containers. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and a memorable anniversary celebration.
This restaurant is amazing! I went here for dinner with a friend and we enjoyed everything from the appetizer to our entrees. I highly recommend the Garlic Bread with Cheese, and the Shrimp Parmigiana or Chicken Parmigiana!! So yummy! Marisa our waitress, was also amazing always checking in, and making the experience even better! Highly Recommend!!!
Great restaurant! Fantastic food! Classic Italian dishes. We had a birthday party, with the house wine - red and white. Both were really nice. I had the seafood arabiati. It had at least a dozen mussels and the sauce was perfectly savory and a little bit spicy. The service was so nice! Our server Tina took such good care of us! Can't wait to go back! Note: the house Lemoncello is really nice! No funny aftertaste and super comparable to the real Italian version. So nice I bought a bottle of it.
Food was delicious, server was friendly and Food came out pretty quickly. Highly recommend the porkchops and broccoli rabe.race. ate the other one before I took the picture but the porkchops are giant and very tender
Excellent atmosphere, great service and delicious Italian food. I loved Brazi’s eggplant topped chicken Parmesan. Perfect idea, now I no longer have to choose a favorite, I can get both entrees in one dish! I also love the soup here and the complementary pizza bread.
What an unexpected gem called Brazi's Italian restaurant located in New Haven CT directly off I-95. I recently held my birthday celebration (luncheon) and everything was exceptional 🎉. From creating the reservation for my birthday to the actual celebration. The restaurant host was welcoming, explained everything in detail and patient because my guest came from Boston, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and Philadelphia and arrival time were impacted by traffic and traveling. The food was delicious and price was awesome. I had the best Mango martini ever. Thank you for making my birthday celebration special.♥️🌞🎉
