Restaurateur Rob Maffucci has chosen downtown New Britain to open his fifth Vito’s restaurant in March.
Vito’s Tavern and Pizzeria will occupy the former Hardware City Tavern on Main Street, serving moderately priced lunches and dinners, Maffucci announced today.
“The location is great,” said Maffucci. “You’ve got two theaters. There’s a new police station in the works. You’ve got a courthouse. Even the Rock Cats are hungry for something new.”
The restaurants, named for Maffucci’s father, a retired Hartford Courant typesetter, are in downtown Hartford, Newington, Windsor and Wethersfield.
