Middlebury Gets New Ristorante and Wine Bar
Location, location, location. That s the key to success in real estate, right? It s also the key to success for restaurants. There are a few Hidden Gem locations in our area. One of my favorite former Hidden Gems was L Restaurant, which was located at 199 Park Road Extension in Middlebury. L occupied the end space on the old Timex building, and unfortunately, L closed permanently earlier this year. One of the many culinary victims of this pandemic. Well, good news, actually, great news, considering the state of our world right now, a new place is rising out of the ashes of L. It s a new Italian restaurant and wine bar, whose name should be familiar to Waterbury residents. I noticed the sign in the photo above, it s posted on the corner of Park Road and Straits Turnpike, so I took a ride by last night on the way home.
