“ One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the area! The interior is large with multiple rooms for seating (as well as the bar), though I would still highly recommend making a reservation, as it does get very busy (especially on a weekend night). The food and service are both excellent. To start, they give you homemade sliced bread with a garlic butter spread, which is absolutely amazing. The menu is fairly extensive, and they usually have 2-3 dinner specials as well. I like the short rib, which is served with a mascarpone risotto. For dessert I always order the creme brûlée. The only complaint I have is the parking situation, at least when I went on a Friday night. There is a fairly large parking lot in back, but also a soccer field behind the restaurant, and when I went there was a soccer game going on, so it was very difficult to find a space. Overall I would say Ludal's is one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to! ”
“ We keep going here around hockey games at Northford. They have big portions. Yummy food. Spacious place. Big screen Tv. Friendly staff. What more could you want? Don't the the outside/ strip mall feel throw you off. I really like the salmon and specials. Their salsas are great. And all the pasta is wonderful. We always come here when we are in the area. Tip: even though it is a big place, make a reservation. Tip: parking in the back ”
“ The server was attentive and personable. The food was amazing. Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu. My boyfriend brought me here because his friends & family kept raving about this restaurant. Definitely exceeded expectations. It's less than a week later and I'm bringing my three nieces in to enjoy so yummy food. ”

We miss Jeff & Gary though! food is always amazing. love the happy hour!! we are always going back. love the food but, honestly i think the bartenders are very sociable and that is one of the biggest reasons we keep going back!! ”
“ This was my second time coming here and I was impressed! For a Friday night, it wasn't crowded which I was pleased with. Our waiter was very attentive and polite in addition to the relatively fast service. I shared the fried mozzarella, had the chicken parm, and shared the chocolate lava cake and crème brûlée which were all delicious. Definitely recommend and will be coming back again. ”
“ if youre going to want to watch any event, like recently for example, the Kentucky Derby, go here & sit at the bar. If you ever wanted to do that, in the past you would go to the now defunct Damons in Cheshire. This screen alone is one reason alone to go. But there are other reasons. Met for a first date, which unfortunately was a real dud, in fact so much so, i left before the Derby started & opted for an on demand watch. BUT! I met some very, very nice people at the bar. Food we only ordered a couple of sppetizers which were very, very good. Eggplant & mushrooms. They served fresh bread with it. All very, very good. The star of the night for me were the french martinis. Best Ive ever had & this would be the gold standard for any french martini. wish i lived closer; Id be in every week. ”
“ I really enjoy going to happy hour at Ludal's. Hi loved the food and enjoyed the atmosphere. I started off with eggplant. Roll a teeny and then had the salmon plate. Everything was delicious. My friends had the fried mozzarella and then she had the sausage and kale everything was so good. ”
“ One of my other favorite spots. Since Covid things have changed but the food is still good. They no longer have the garlic knots. The crusty bread they give is very good because it comes from one of my other favorite spots (Bread and Chocolate). They still offer the garlic spread for the bread so that is a good thing. We went on Easter Sunday 2023 and the food was very good. My pasta came out too mushy so I sent it back so that was disappointing. They got the pasta right the second go around. Usually I never have that problem but I guess because it was so busy things happen. I would certainly go back. My usual waiter Jose was not able to wait on us but we had good service. You should go check out Ludal's its a mainstay in the North Haven, CT area. Enjoy!!! ”
