Best Maltese Restaurant New Haven Near Me

4worldlovers: Annunziata and Salvatore Consiglio probably never expected that 83 years after they opened a small neighborhood Italian restaurant in 1938 that their granddaughter and ever their great grandchildren would proudly continue their legacy. After immigrating to the Wooster Street area from Amalfi, Italy, Annunziata and Salvatore opened The Big Apple in 1938 just steps away from their home and enlisted the help of their eight children to operate the restaurant. As the family worked long hours as chefs, hosts, bartenders, waiters, kitchen help and everything in between, its good reputation and popularity grew, extending beyond the neighborhood and becoming a New Haven favorite. When New Haven’s redevelopment program forced the restaurant to move from its original location to across the street, the family changed the name to Consiglio’s and moved a few doors down to its current location in the early sixties. Today, Trish Consiglio Perrotti, along with her husband and children, continues the decades long tradition that her grandparents, father, aunts and uncles began. Today we continue to offer authentic, delicious, homemade Italian fare with friendly service.

Welcome to Consiglio’s and from our family to yours, “Buon appetito”!!
