    "Chicken Cutlet Bruschetta" (chicken cutlet topped with bruschetta tomatoes & mozzarella cheese)
    Matthew L.

    Antonio's on Route 5 is an Italian restaurant, sub shop and pizzeria that opened in North Haven, Connecticut in 1986. It was founded by Antonio Occhibove. Originally called "Antonio's Pizzeria" (and then later "Antonio's Sub Shop & Pizzeria"), the establishment has been located at a few different spots on Washington Avenue throughout the years. They have been located at their current address at 528 Washington Avenue for approximately 15 years. The menu consists of a variety of Italian-American staples including chicken entrees, eggplant entrees, seafood entrees, pasta dishes, pizza, soups, salads, appetizers, panini and focaccia sandwiches, subs and wraps. The current owner is Kristjan Lulaj. My family and I recently ordered pizza from Antonio's. We were hosting a birthday party for our younger son and thought that everyone would want pizza. After shopping around, we found that Antonio's had some VERY decent prices. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've lived in North Haven for my whole life and I never ordered from them. We ordered 4 extra larges: a "Mozzarella", a "Margherita" (fresh homemade mozzarella, tomato sauce, olive oil and fresh basil), a "Chicken Cutlet Bruschetta" (chicken cutlet topped with bruschetta tomatoes & mozzarella cheese), and a "Vodka Pizza" (square pie topped with vodka sauce and mozzarella cheese). When I arrived to pick up the pizzas, the whole restaurant smelled amazing. I saw one of the staff making some stuffed breads in the kitchen. When I got home, the pizzas looked and tasted great. They were a big hit with the party. I can't believe that it took me so long to finally order from Antonios. They make great quality Italian food for very reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back!

    I had dinner a few weeks ago ago on a Fri night . The food was fantastic but the space was very cramped And limited. We had chicken Florentine and a grilled shrimp over spinach in a lemon sauce. Very good . Soup salad and side of pasta it's also a BYOB if you choose to bring alcohol.. Definitely recommend reservations it had a good wait . They would definitely be a 5 star if they had more room. Enjoy a great variety of delicious food. Chris M

    Wow. Just wow. Fresh baked bread is the first thing you see in the cases when you walked in. That's where I first knew I needed something on that focaccia roll. All of the bread and dough is made fresh here. You can't go wrong. One of my party got a huge fried dough. This isn't the fried dough of fairs. Just like the bread, the dough was made in house and it had great flavor. The sandwich I got had chicken cutlet which was perfectly thin and crispy whiteout being dry. My sandwich ended up being communal since everyone wanted to try it lol. The mozzarella sticks...more like massive triangle...was swoon worthy! The chef came over to check in and ask if we liked the food. He was very kind and attentive. He truly values customer service. They just opened up the second half of the dining room by adding more seating. It is a place that can easily accommodate a group. The restaurant was clean and the well taken care of. This is one of many visits to Antonio's!

    Great value meals. All the meals are reasonably priced for a regular size meal, however these meals are larger the normal servings. The soup that comes with the meal is a large bowl, along with the side of pasta. The escarole soup was delicious. It has just enough spices and the touch of heat and it was very very good. I had the chicken parmigiana. It had two large pieces of chicken covered with mozzarella. The side of pasta was also very good. They serve the meals with homemade, hard crusted bread with a soft center. Off street parking and a great service staff.

    Antonio's On Route 5 pizza and sub shop.They are so much more than pizza and subs,serving appetizers, salads,soups,also pasta, seafood, and eggplant entrées.They do have hot and cold subs, panini's, wraps and stuffed breads as well. Tonight I ordered two large pizzas.One all cheese, half bacon, the other all cheese half pepperoni, half sausage. They had a generous amount of great tasting toppings, but the pizza itself I would consider good, but nothing special. Since their homemade breads looked very good I think the next time I would try one of their subs.

    Clam Fettecini

    Fantastic food, with delicious flavor, texture, and fresh ingredients. Portions leave enough for leftovers at a price you can't beat!

    It's the people that make this place. The food is good, and the price is right. They make you feel like you're family or friends.

    Amazing find! Maybe I am the last person to know...‍ I…read moreordered the running bowl with ginger chicken, marinaded chicken kabobs.... Omg sooooo yummy! Will be back! Friendly staff and very clean.

    Ali Baba's Kitchen is a Middle Eastern restaurant that opened in Hamden, Connecticut in 2014. It…read morewas founded by husband and wife Pakistani immigrants Jamshed and Sobia Khalid. Jamshed worked in the fishing industry as a young man, but dreamed of working in the restaurant business. He came to the United States in 1989 and worked for a vending machine business. He finally entered the food industry in 2000 when he started "Mughali Foods": a food cart that prepared Indian and Pakistani food. In 2003, Jamshed became the owner of Noor Mahal, an Indian restaurant in Orange, but continued to run the food cart. He sold the restaurant three years later to focus exclusively on the food cart operation. He later dubbed it "Ali Baba's Fusion" and shifted the menu to halal Middle Eastern cuisine. At one point, Jamshed even had six Ali Baba food carts operating around New Haven. The Kalids opened a brick & mortar location in Hamden in 2014. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, the couple cut down their food cart division to a single cart and put most of the focus on the brick & mortar location which was rebranded as "Ali Baba's Kitchen". The menu was also augmented to focus on healthier food options. A second location opened in North Haven in 2025. My wife and I recently ordered take-out from Ali Baba's North Haven location for New Year's Eve. We had previously sampled food from the Hamden location, as well as their New Haven food cart, but this was our first time getting food from the North Haven location. We were excited to try because it's only a five minute drive from our house. The newer location is nice but it is a bit on the smaller side. I would imagine that most of their business is take-out as opposed to dine-in. I ordered the "Bites Chick Bowl" (lemon chicken & beef gyro served on a base of rice & pita strips, topped w/ lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, chickpeas, cucumbers, feta cheese, drizzled w/ ABK sauce), my wife had the "Running Foodie Bowl" (ginger chicken & chicken kebab on basmati rice & pita strips, topped w/ tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, feta cheese, and ABK sauce), and we also shared some "Samosas" (with tamarind sauce and chana masala). As I've stated in a previous review, we think that the food at Ali Baba's is sensational and we plan to order from them again and again!
