Heirloom New Haven

Heirloom utilizes the heritage growers and neighboring artisan suppliers of Connecticut and New England for Chef Carey Savona’s Farm + Coastal cooking. Our kitchen showcases an ingredient-driven cuisine featuring heirloom products that is redefining what it means to cook and eat in New Haven. A native of Connecticut, Savona is passionate about seasonality, independently creative, and dedicated to farm + coastal cooking. Says Savona, “I grew up around food. My dad was a great cook from a family of Italian fisherman and fishmongers, he owned a bar and tavern in Connecticut. We shucked oysters together, cooked side-by-side and ate honest, heartfelt food.”

Taking inspiration from the New England Pantry, Heirloom forges ahead with ingredient-driven cuisine, a farm + coastal homage that highlights our current stock of farmers and provisions, which we display daily on our dining room chalkboard. Favorite dishes include: Northeast Sea Scallops with Caramelized Spaghetti Squash, Pickled Raisins, Capers & Citrus, Warm Local Ricotta with Thyme, Truffle & Toast; Stonington CT Red Shrimp, Local Bluepoint Oysters, Heirloom CT Farms Beef Pastrami & Handcrafted Salumi, House Pickles & Pâté on our Ploughman’s Plate.

Heirlooms’ wine collection includes wines from Italy, Spain, France, Australia, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. Our wine choices are eclectic and distinctive with a focus on value and boutique labels as well as Sustainable, Organic, and Biodynamic selections. Expansive, yet approachable our wines and wines by the glass are meant for drinking now. Heirloom’s spirits collection shines a light on small batch producers and artisan craftsmanship—with the widely recognized brands well represented. Signature cocktails feature house elixirs and infusions with attention paid to the influential New England seasons. Our beer selection is diverse and worldly with special emphasis on the neighboring suppliers and distillers of New England and the Northeast.

It is the neighborhood-gathering place for friends and family as well as a destination spot for travelers and business people alike, with a studious amount of civility and graciousness.
