Drea's by Goodfellas | Branford

Together, they return to their roots with Drea’s by Goodfellas—a dining experience that blends tradition, warmth, and hospitality. With a combined 50 years in the restaurant industry, Gerry and Andrea honor the Goodfellas legacy by presenting exquisite dishes prepared with simple, authentic ingredients and served with genuine care.

Set in a warm, relaxed atmosphere, dining at Drea’s feels like a visit with Nonna—where stories are shared, laughter fills the air, and every meal becomes a memory. More than just a restaurant, Drea’s by Goodfellas is a place to gather, celebrate, and savor the timeless flavors of Italy.Lockworks Tavern

Would sit inside or in a cooler e ending outside under an umbrella. Went out for a drink on the couches after dinner Very comfortable, however would definitely bring insect repellents at dusk.

- HHeatherNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoI would highly recommend you try this restaurant. I had to try it because Goodfella's (Encore) is one of my favorites and this one did not disappoint. The service was outstanding! I wish I knew his name to call and tell them how wonderful he was. We sat outside, ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrees, and everything was delicious, timed perfectly, and with great service. I will definitely be returning and all 3 of us really enjoyed it. I would like to see a scallop dish on the menu, but other than that, this is definitely 5 stars.More infoDrea's by Goodfellas | Branford$$$$• Italian• Branford•4.6
- RRobertNew York City •10 reviews5.0Dined on May 30, 2026We had the maple bacon app which was great with 2 old fashions. After one sip we knew they had a good bartender. Our entrees were a5 wagyu filets with charred asparagus. The filets cut like butter, in fact I used my butter knife at one point. Our waiter, John, was also great. He was just theright blend of friendly and professional. We will definitely be back.More infoSaltbrick Prime$$$$• American• Branford•4.5
