   We had dinner here on Christmas day as we were staying in New Haven on our way to Martha’s Vineyard. The restaurant was easy to find. We had to walk quite a number of stairs to get upstairs to the main dining room room, which could be a problem for somebody with a disability although I believe there are dining tables on the first floor. My wife ordered a pasta dish and I had Bronzino puttanesca. I did order Caesar salad, which was more than I could really eat. My wife’s pasta dish was quite rich and tasty and my Bronzino was outstanding and again couldn’t hear it at all so we took leftovers. We had a delicious chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream And overall the dinner was quite good.

   Service was fine. Apps came out before drinks (including just a soda) and the restaurant was empty. Got the wrong drink, and 3 of the 5 meals came out ahead of time, with the other 2 taking another 10-15 mins to come out. One member got the hanger steak which was incorrectly cooked, and another got the filet mignon which was raw. Really upsetting as we previously enjoyed this place.

   Food is not great. Everything else was fine - very good service, fair surroundings - wouldn’t go back.

   Villa Lulu is a cute spot downtown. My boyfriend and I decided to go here for our weekly date night, and we had a good experience. The salads and appetizers were definitely the highlight; our main courses were just okay. We actually had two servers who seemed to be confused about who was meant to be taking care of us. We had each turn of service question asked twice; we were almost convinced it was a kind of bit/comedy routine. Decent evening, overall.

   Wife & I shared a shrimp scampi to start. 4 shrimp, but enough. Delectably prepared. A nice buttery garlic lemon. Nothing overpowered. Wife had eggplant Parm,, I had chicken Parm. Both were fabulous. Eggplant was at least 1-1/2" thick overall, with thick, tender individual slices. The chicken covered 3/4 of my plate, with a nice side of linguine. Also rather thick, but tender enough to cut with a fork, and juicy. Service could have been better, but we did see our server in both dining rooms. Overall, really great!
