A Delightful Experience

by RandyLeigh at Citysearch

Decided to go back here after many years despite a few negative reviews and very glad we did. The service was impeccable, the food exceptional and the evening delightful. Somehow one of us got a very similar dish to another patron's. Hers was supposed to have shrimp and she did not find any so she asked about the missing shrimp and they returned with a plate twice the size with an extra side of shrimp as well as more bread and doting service. You felt like you were at your Grandmother's house with plenty of food, lots of attention and food cooked with care. Highly recommend Tony & Lucille's if you want a true dining experience.

• Pros: Huge portions, real Italian food
• Cons: Just some negative reviews out there

Always great food and service

by Vinanna at Citysearch

We have eaten at Tony & Lucille's for many years and have always had great tasting meals. We travel from Norwalk.

We have brought many different friends and relatives to eat there and have always been extreemly satisfied with both the food and service.

Like someone else who has written, the people who did not like the food probably don't know much about Italian cuisine.

• Pros: Great meals.
• Cons: None

One of The Greats in New Haven

by FatTony at Citysearch

I normally don't write reviews but it seems as of now there are six 1 stars and three 5 stars suggesting that people either love or hate this place. After a weekend of sampling food from Little Italy in NYC and Wooster Square I can tell you that Tony & Lucille's is one of the best (if not the best). If you are looking for a traditional Italian family owned restaurant with excellent food and great atmoshphere, look no further.

• Pros: Traditional Italian food in a true Italian atmosphere
• Cons: Parking in New Haven (is that ever easy?)
