Notes
In July of 2014, following over 20 years of restaurant experience in Italy, New York City, and New Haven, Killingworth resident and entrepreneur Francesco Lulaj opened the doors to his biggest wine and food dream yet. With a spectacular menu and a wine list boasting over 1,600 selections (and more than 10,000 total bottles), Francesco and staff take great pride in the food and service that La Foresta Restaurant provides to its diners.
