If you want a classic, red sauce place with huge portions (read: classic comfort food), Adrianna's is awesome. I think your taste is already on full display with your insane claim that there are only 2 good restaurants in New Haven 🙄

They’re asking for a good date night spot, not a place you’d bring your fat geriatric aunt from east haven.

LOL, well, I agree that the place is a bit too East Haven Italian for my taste. My god, they have a signed picture of Jon Voight on the wall! I had to put a dog down early in the pandemic, when all the dining restrictions were still in place. I was pretty distraught and just wanted a bunch of comfort food, so I put in a big takeout order at Adriana's. I stopped in to pick it up and not only was no one wearing masks, but a bunch of old Italian dudes were sitting around dining in. So yes, if politics matter when it comes to your dining choices (which I totally get!), don't go there. But, I stand by Adriana's as a vintage red sauce place with solid food, even if I don't care for their politics.

Again they’re talking about a place for a DATE night. Some people like to have sex after a date, not fart into a plastic covered couch watching Connie Francis specials.
