Fun, great bar, great pizza. The place morphs into a club vibe as the night goes on. Their one and only salad is worth the trip - although their clam pizza (more like flatbread) might be my last meal request:)

New Haven is America’s first planned city. And at one time hosted one of the largest Italian populations in the country. The Italian consulate flag still flies at the house on the corner of Court Street on the park. And Wooster Square was their hood. The park is loved by the community and celebrates the cherry blossoms with a festival every year.

城市觀光建議

周邊交通資訊

Avoid Grand Avenue if possible when walking-it’s boring!

Our location is stellar and safe. But Grand Avenue is boring with nothing to look at! So when looking on MAPS for routes, do a work around— or at least you’ve been warned!
不容錯過

Take a walk!

Walk through Yale and take in the architecture and landscape. And don’t miss Wooster square Park grab a pizza on Wooster Street - or walk down Court Street into town. There are many parks in New Haven with excellent trails.
