The Village Tavern Opens Tomorrow in Downtown Ridgefield

Seasoned restaurateurs and renowned Chefs Bruno DiFabio and Germano Minin, together with Ridgefield resident Joe Chelednik, will unveil The Village Tavern to the Ridgefield community tomorrow, Monday, January 23. The Village Tavern is located in the space that formerly housed Dog and Pony, a location DiFabio, a longtime resident, calls “the gateway to the greatest town in the country.”

Friends and family received a preview of The Village Tavern this weekend (as shown in photo). "Your insight will help us grow and your warm, welcoming reception made the entire Village Tavern staff feel like a part of the Ridgefield community," DiFabio wrote on the Village Tavern Facbook Page.

Main Street's newest addition boasts moderately-priced New American food as well as cuisine inspired from around the globe, in a warm tavern-style atmosphere. Sunday patrons can expect a one-of-a-kind “buffet-style” brunch with a Bloody Mary Bar and bottomless mimosas.

The Village Tavern is chef-driven. “It’s all about the food. The chefs and owners will touch every plate,” DiFabio explains. His partner in the kitchen, Minin has earned accolades and industry respect as a 2014 winner on the Food Network reality TV series “Chopped” where DiFabio served as Judge.  He will soon relocate from Santa Monica California to Ridgefield with wife and family. 

The restaurant is currently hiring all kitchen-staff positions. Interested? Contact Germano 475-322-0224.
