• Contemporary European • East Haven

Our story is like many others. Nine years ago, we came to America with two bags of luggage and two big dreams. The first and biggest dream was to start a family. And we did. We now have three beautiful children, a four year old girl, a six year old boy and a new baby. Without doubt, we are blessed.Our second dream was to introduce Connecticut to our Romanian culture and cuisine. Hence, we came up with the idea of Cafe Transilvania. We owned Cafe Transilvania for many years which was a success, which is why we decided to open Transilvania Restaurant and bar.

    AHHHHMMAAAZZING! From start to finish. The food is sooo special, creative flavors perfectly paired and prepared. Don't leave without trying their pasta or burrata salad w/squash, or the most most most wonderful, warm, melt-in your mouth focaccia. Or the fish of the day. Wish we could have tried everything! And what a show from their kitchen! Sit at the chef's table and watch this team of professionals put out the most delicious and beautiful dishes, in the most perfectly choreographed way. Great service, too, from an experienced team in a great space. Bravo, Chef! To you and your whole team! Can't wait to visit again!

    This is becoming a favorite New Haven Restaurant. This time we went for Schnitzel Monday, one of their themed weeknights. You could order off the regular menu, but we wanted the veal schnitzel which was served with a tomato salad in a terrific dressing and a warm potato salad. The portion was huge, tender and perfectly cooked.
