    This is my second time eating here and it never disappoints. All the food was delicious and affordable. The service was a bit slow, but they were all very kind and even though our appetizers came after our mains were served, the owner took them off the bill, which was super thoughtful. Everything on the menu is so fresh!! I will continue to give them my business for sure.

    We love Te Amo! Was one of our favorite spots when we lived in New Haven for years. We have since moved and we came back to eat here with a large party after my fiancé’s graduation. Service and server were amazing and they accommodated an extra person for us! Keep doing you.
