Rebecca RiveraMarch 10, 2017The setting is historic but the food is modern, delicious and beautifully presented. Cocktails are well crafted. Servers are professional, thoughtful and unobtrusive. My fave New Haven restaurant.
Bonnie DingusApril 22, 2018Love this restaurant with French and Italian influences! Located right next to the Shubert Theater! A must for before and after the show!
David SJuly 28, 2013I'm sure the menu will change seasonally but the Hen Ragu, Octopus, Fluke, And lamb duo were absolutely amazing. I can't have a bad dish here. Avi the chef/owner is the real deal.- Rebecca RiveraMarch 10, 2017Roia's rating should be an 8+ at the least. Don't miss happy hour when you can get killer bowl of pasta for $10 and a wine flight for another $10.
Tasting menu tonight was minimal and left us hungry. Too much time between courses. The paired wines shined.
Bert RiveroJanuary 9, 2020Old school architecture, beautiful inside. Food was amazing. Small menu so they concentrate on their dishes and they are great
Ian MichaelMay 2, 2014Ask Gil at the bar to pair wines with the meal and don't miss the blood orange & fennel salad and the braised lamb
Smith PowellMay 19, 2018Had some lamb tortellini on the recommendation of our waiter. I enjoyed it very much.
Curt RobinsonAugust 16, 2014Dinner was really great. Delicious! They need to train their wait staff much better.
Some of the best staff in the city! Let Avi and Meera treat you right!- barbie nzegwuNovember 10, 2013went here for restaurant week. the prix fixe menu was delicious but the service was AWFUL. we didn't complain but the table next to us waited an hour before they got their food.
Brendan LenehanOctober 8, 2013The bartender seemed either overworked or grossly incompetent and lacked any sort of personality to make up for the poor service. Food took forever and was mediocre at best. The menu is very limited.
