Absolutely love App’s. This place is a West Haven classic for a reason. Fantastic Italian food and seafood, and the nightly specials are always worth asking about. Everything tastes homemade and generous, not rushed or overdone. We had a mix of seafood and Italian staples and every plate came out hot and full of flavor. The sauces are rich, the seafood is cooked perfectly, and even the salad was fresh and well done. You can tell they care about consistency here. Full bar available, which is great for date night, but it also works just as well for a relaxed family dinner. Service is friendly and professional without hovering. They accept credit cards but no Apple Pay, so plan accordingly. Definitely call ahead and make reservations, especially on weekends. There’s convenient parking in the back of the building, which makes things easy. One of those places you keep coming back to because it never disappoints.

We celebrated our Twins' 15th birthday here and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious, both adults and teenagers loved it. The room was perfect for us and the staff was very attentive throughout the whole night. The roasted potatoes and the stuffed manicotti were the biggest hits of the night.

Apps hands down has the best Italian food in West Haven. Monday nights they have a Prime Rib special that my family and I love. Highly recommend. Amazing food and excellent service.

Celebrated birthdays there many times. The service is great and food wonderful. The salmon is the best I've ever had. It is so tender and juicy, never dry! The specials they have nightly are inventive and delicious! It's a good deal since entrees co.e with soup or salad. I would recommend it to anyone. Authentic Italian ,not nevo cuisine
