One-of-a-Kind Culinary Experience
Amarante’s Sea Cliff features the finest and most inventive chefs in the New Haven area. Its legacy began with founder Andrew “Sonny” Amarante, who was part of the second-ever graduating class from the Culinary Institute of America in New Haven in 1948.
Today, Executive Head Chef Jaime Bayona, and Chefs Luciano Amore and Santiago Coque continue to keep Andrew’s passion and innovative kitchen creations alive. Our chefs have worked and traveled far beyond the United States to learn about different cultures and fine cuisines. Bringing a wealth of knowledge to our kitchen, our chefs can create an unlimited array of menu items to fit any style.
