    Caffe Bravo is a reliable standard. Their decor is a little dated and the menu rarely changes, but the service is consistently polite and prompt, and if you have a favorite dish, from their wide selections of appetizers, salads and pastas, you know exactly what you'll get.

    Recently went for lunch on a Monday so it was super quiet. Food, service and ambiance were top notch, as always. Lunch or dinner - a great place to go. One of my favorite places in all of New Haven

    Overall we enjoyed our meal. Service was a little slow. A server (not ours) was abrupt and impolite. One of our party had asked for no salmon in her dish and it arrived with salmon but there was not time to complain. Perhaps there were too many diners for the number of servers so disappointing experience.
