Encore by Goodfellas A luxury fine dining space where dining and entertainment go hand in hand with exceptional service
(2766)

A rapidly growing New Haven favorite, Goodfellas Restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine with an emphasis on farm fresh ingredients. As one of Connecticut's most highly acclaimed restaurants, it has become the place to see and be seen, especially with visits from the likes of Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, John Leguizamo, Donnie Walberg, Kate Beckinsale, Lorraine Bracco and many other Soprano cas

t members, just to name a few. Our dining experience is quite rare and unique as we are one of the only Italian restaurants in the area that you can watch great old gangster movies on 10 wall-mounted flat screen televisions with the likes of Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. You will be entertained throughout the evening whether it be by our movies or by our Sintra, Bocelli and Dino soundtracks. Our attentive, professional, and attractive staff is dedicated to customer focus and satisfaction. And of course, you can't forget our main attraction: our authentic, traditional Italian dishes prepared to perfection.

Always keeping things fresh, fun, and exciting! Lately, we’ve been feeling a little nostalgic, so we’re bringing back some of the traditions that made us who we are.

The original OGs of Ladies Night are back with the original pricing every Wednesday! Gather your friends and enjoy a night of great food, cocktails, and memories.

And because we’re keeping it true old-school Goodfellas style, we’re also bringing back the movies! That’s right—Dinner & a Movie is back. Sit back, relax, enjoy a delicious meal, and watch some of your favorite classic films just like the good old days.

A little nostalgia, a lot of great food, and the same warm hospitality 🍷🍝🎬✨
