our story
The history of App's Restaurant began in 1938, on Beach Street at Savin Rock, when our grandparents Frederick and Susan Apicella opened their doors in West Haven. Later, West Haven Redevelopment forced them to close and in 1976, it was reopened at 283 Captain Thomas Boulevard. But if the truth be told, the origin of App's Restaurant can be traced back to the early 1900's, when the Apicella brothers opened on Washington Avenue in New Haven and quickly developed a reputation for delicious Italian food.
The heart of App's Restaurant has always been family. We have withstood the test of time and pride ourselves as a third and fourth generation family owned and operated restaurant who continue to proudly serve the greater New Haven area, quality Italian American fare with simple authentic classics for both lunch and dinner. Over the years we have never lost touch with our passion for excellent food and wonderful service for our guests.
App's Restaurant offers a warm color scheme of muted tans and browns to create an informal atmosphere with a modern flair. Our newly remodeled bar offers various wines by the glass, oversized martinis & great drinks. In addition to our Dining Menu we also offer a Bar Menu (try our burgers) Tuesday Happy Hour Menu and Prix Fixe Menu on Wednesday and Thursday for $24.00. We also offer several Banquet Menus: Buffet, Served Luncheon Banquet Menu, Served Dinner Banquet Menu, Brunch, Hors d'oeuvres Menu, Bereavement Menu and can accommodate 20-135 of your quests in our private dining rooms.
