Tolle Restaurants in East Haven

I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to go here. Needed a place to dine for Christmas Eve and since Encore by Goodfellas was opened I decided to make a reservation. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I was impressed with the upscale classy decor. We were greeted by the hostess who took us to the upstairs level that we requested only to be more impressed with the atmosphere and classy vibe. The waitstaff was super attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. AND….what a menu! A large array of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes, steaks, seafood veal, pork, and chicken. Took me 15 minutes alone to decide what I would order, Well we placed the order and one dish was better than the next, absolutely outstanding and well presented large portions, Dessert was out of this world as well, Great Chef!!! Our dinner was so special that we decided to make another reservation for a few weeks down the line. Encore doesn’t deserve 5 stars, it deserves 10. Now this is coming from a native New Yorker who has had access to all the finest restaurants ( and dined in most of them as well). Encore by Goodfellas stands amongst them’

Table was ready right on time. Staff was friendly and helpful answering questions about menu. They were accommodating of our young family member, bringing a few gelato samples before we ordered dessert. Overall, was a great family night for a special occasion.

Our first server was okay but then Anthony came over and he was exceptional. So polite, attentive and professional.

Had a great dinner! Our waiter Chris was amazing and all of the food and service was very good.

The food and service were excellent. Love the atmosphere. The manager, Webster is excellent. Made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend.
