Welcome back to my series, Bri In CT! This time we’re visiting Michelina’s located at 858 State St in New Haven, CT.

@michelinas_on_state_st offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with a menu that perfectly blends traditional Italian dishes with creative twists. They recently hosted an incredible content creator dinner, and the food did not disappoint!

Ask about their happy hour and their secret menu! They also have an amazing party package that feeds 15 people for $399 (that’s less than $30 a person)!

Let me know if you’re adding this to your CT bucket list because I will join you.

- went to the @nyliberty pride night game
- saw @twostrangersmusical and it’s absolutely incredible 20/10 would recommend
- got a banana top matcha and cinnamon roll from @noaacafe
- went to @littleislandnyc for the first time
- walked around @rooftopatpier17 before an event
- not pictured: the incredible meal I had at 100 Feast in Chinatown and the amazing coffee and muffin from @chocolenyc

Welcome to my new series, Bri in CT!

I’m a CT girl born and raised, but I just moved back home in October 2024 after eight years in Austin, Texas. I live and work in the Greater New Haven area and realized that not enough people talk about this amazing corner of CT—so I’m going to!

Follow along as I share some of my favorites and discover new hidden gems with you. Let’s explore!
