Brodetto
Our version of this famous Fanese fish stew is a transformative marriage of Rhode Island calamari and littleneck clams with Gulf Coast white shrimp and Pacific flounder simmered together in a flavorful tomato broth and served with toasted Alforno bread. You’ll be soooo glad you tried this if you haven’t already!

Come in and have a glass of wine from our fall collection.
This excellent Nebbiolo is bold, structured and silky (not a word you usually hear with Nebbiolo). Vajra does an incredible job coaxing so much out of a hearty grape that usually needs years to sit down and mellow out. #redwine #newhavenpizza #naplitanapizza #italianfood #cocktails #bacari #alfornooldsaybrook #alfornoct
Come and try our new Charcuterie Board
Imported Italian prosciutto, coppa, and salumi, with 24 month aged parmigiano reggiano, toasted alforno bread, whole grain mustard, giardiniera (Italian mix pickled vegetables) and sweet and spicy zucchini chips.
