 1. Spot the Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

163 Wooster St
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 865-7602

Category: Pizza

5.0 star rating
  5/3/2009

This really is the same as the one next door, except the one next door has a 2+ hour wait. This one - only 45 minutes.

That being said. The pizza is TOTALLY worth it. I don't even know how to describe the quality of pizza at Pepe's. Some kind of…More »

 2. Machu Picchu

101 Farren Ave
New Haven, CT 06513
(203) 467-7671
5.0 star rating
  4/25/2009

Probably the best meal I had in New Haven.

I came to this place with high expectations - and did Machu Picchu deliver! As a hole-in-wall, obviously I'm not going to rate the place on decor. And yes, everyone else was right about the neighborhood - I…More »

 3. Educated Burgher Inc

51 Broadway
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 777-9198
5.0 star rating
  4/23/2009

Can't get any better in its category. The Educated Burgher is a landmark at Yale.

I always order the Educated Burger, or the EB Special. It's the most delicious burger I've ever tasted, and I say this having been to in-n-out many times. The fries are…More »

 4. Zaroka Bar and Restaurant

148 York St
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 776-8644

Categories: Indian, Pakistani

4.0 star rating
  4/24/2009

The food is absolutely delicious. From the vegetarian to the meaty, it's generally the best Indian you'll find near Yale - and that's saying something, there's gotta be 15 Indian restaurants around here.

I went here with 5 people, 3 were prospective…More »

 5. A-1 Pizza on Broadway

21 Broadway
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 865-8888

Category: Pizza

4.0 star rating
  4/23/2009

Mediocre food, mediocre service. But a great place for late night cravings-this joint is open 24/7. I always order the Texas burger, which is tremendous and very good. Pizza here is also generally above par-a little greasy though. Perfect for Sunday…More »

 6. Mamoun's Falafel Restaurant

85 Howe St
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 562-8444

Category: Middle Eastern

4.0 star rating
  5/2/2009

This place is good - really good.

Every time I come here, I've ordered a different lamb dish, and they sure know how to make lamb. Succulent and spicy, but never overwhelming. Mahmoud's is a wonderful place to go to grab some good, cheap food.

Just…More »

 7. Thai Taste Restaurant

1151 Chapel St
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 776-9802

Category: Thai

3.0 star rating
  5/2/2009

This place is, let's face it, pretty mediocre. I can see how it might be delicious to New Englanders, but since there are 2323490 other Thai places within 6 square blocks, I just can't see how this place stands out.

The decor is great, but I found the…More »

 8. Ashley's Ice Cream Cafe

280 York St
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 776-7744
3.0 star rating
  4/26/2009

This place is rated Connecticut's number 1 - and, well, it IS pretty good...but not memorable at all.

I have had dining hall ice cream that is pretty much on par with Ashley's. Personally, I think they make it too sweet. That being said, paying like…More »

 9. Hot Tomato's - CLOSED

261 College St
New Haven, CT 06510
(203) 624-6331

Category: American (New)

3.0 star rating
  4/24/2009

This excellent Italian-influenced bar and grill, near Bishop Tutu's corner (College and Chapel streets) serves a menu of pastas, chops and mouth-watering appetizers in large portions. It's usually devoid of college students, instead catering to young…More »

 10. Yorkside Pizza and Restaurant

288 York St
New Haven, CT 06511
(203) 787-7471

Categories: Pizza, Italian

3.0 star rating
  4/23/2009

I just love going to this place after late nights. Oftentimes, the state in which I go to this place (at 3 am) inhibits my senses from tasting the food, which is just as well - there isn't much to taste.

The Greek food here is pretty authentic, and…More »
