Cocktail Bar popolari a Middletown

Gioia is our favorite restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut. It’s a whole experience and everything on the menu is delicious. You just gotta go there. Make a reservation first. We will keep going back!

Fun night out with friends. Seated quickly, service was good, as was the food. Martinis were great!

This was our second visit and was just as wonderful as our first ! The ambiance, food and service is outstanding. The staff genuinely care about their customer’s experience. The food is authentically Mexican and the homemade guacamole app is a must ! We will be making this our favorite for sure !

Food was great! Especially being served and recommended by our favorite waiter, Chris!!! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Some of the tapas, like the grilled octopus and lamb croquettes (a special of the day) were exceptional, and most were very good. Fans of gambas al ajillo may want to skip it, as the shrimp were disappointing. El Pulpo also has many paella options, and the Valenciana was nice. It had a good crust around the edge of the pan and rich flavors.
