The 'new' home for the 'old-school mobsters' is spacious and quite grand, with the TV screens far enough away not to be intrusive. Unfortunately the tables remain close together; at many you find yourself a party to your neighbors' conversation. The Italian menu offers no surprises and the preparation could notch up. Don't send out a hit man, but New Haven is a town full of Italian restaurants and there are many better.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service. If you want a dining experience that is fun and food that is great...portions that provide you with another meal...then you will find Cafe Good Fellas the place you want to be! I highly recommend this to anyone living or visiting the New Haven area!
Over price food and get rid of the videos....
Don't miss lady's night on Wednesdays. The thing that you will either love or hate are the big screen tv's continuously showing mafia movies while you are dining.
Way, way overrated. I go out to eat for the food experience, not a doggy bag to bring home.
