Havana has been committed to serving local and organic meats, produce and seafood since it opened 25 years ago. All of our meats are “naturally raised” meaning no steroids, antibiotics or hormones and “humanely raised” meaning room to roam, proper shelter and gentle handling. We make every effort to buy only sustainably harvested seafood, primarily from the Gulf of Maine. We have consistently searched out New England farmers and fisherfolk to purchase product that is not only great tasting but great for the environment and local economy as well.

    Bella our waiter was terrific and all four of our meals were excellent… We had two of the specials - pork chop and braised fish and my wife and I had veal. Very happy we made a reservation with open table as the seating was beautiful with large sunny windows overlooking the wooded stream. Great night with family. Thank you.
