Irish, Pubs
New Haven
Anna Liffey's tries hard to create the closest approximation to an Irish pub you could hope for this side of the Atlantic. The decor is enough, but it helps that the bar and dining area are below street level. Irish music takes precedence Sunday afternoons. The food includes the usual - bangers and mash, fish and chips, etc. The bar opens early on the weekend so fans can watch their favorite football teams (European football, that is, also known as soccer). The pub also has become popular Tuesday nights for its quiz game.

Italian
New Haven
At this "old-school mobster"–themed Southern Italian in New Haven, waiters "provide service fit for a don" and the "top-shelf" "traditional" fare reminds some diners of their "childhood"; surveyors either "love or hate" the "gangster movies" that play on big-screen TVs, and though some critics find the "wiseguy" motif "degrading", for many the experience is "an offer they can't refuse"; P.S. a planned early summer 2012 move down the street will double the size and include a roof deck.

Spanish, Basque
New Haven
At this "classy" New Haven Spaniard, the tapas (served at the bar) and tasting menus are "exotic and yet mainstream", complemented by an "ample" wine list and served by an "attentive" staff in a "contemporary" setting; meanwhile, its "non-tweedy" Hamden offspring is an "excellent addition" to an otherwise "run-down retail" district, offering the same "fabulous" flavors as the mother ship with a "more casual flair" and more affordable price points, though some caution it "does get loud" and no...

Turkish, Greek, Mediterranean
New Haven
Step through the door into a room that looks very much like a family restaurant in Istanbul's Beyoglu market. An elaborate pewter chandelier looms overhead, Turkish ceramics hang on the walls, tasseled damask drapes are at the windows, and mirror cloth pillows line the bench couch along the wall. The setting is right and so is the food. Plunge further into the mood with the starter platter of meze -- dollops of hummus, zingy red lentil salad, creamy carrot salad, spinach yogurt, and dolmas

Creperies, French
New Haven
Yolande's Bistro and Creperie is a happy coincidence of being in the right place at the right time for the right reason. The stars aligned and Yolande found herself in a position to try something she had been thinking about for a long time, becoming an entrepreneur, and a restaurateur. Yolande has been living in New Haven since early 2010 and working elsewhere. Since arriving she has been missing that warm neighborly corner bistro, and a good Onion Soup, and Escargot, and Steak Tartare, and, and, and.... And, that is what she is trying to recreate, a break from the every day, some traditional (not too fancy and intimidating) French fare, a great glass of wine or a Pastis, a great crepe Citron...the classics.
