Tony D's, a longtime New London restaurant, has a new neighbor: Tony D's Handmade Pasta Shop.
Anthony D'Angelo, owner and chef at Tony D's, said that his family has been discussing the idea of opening a pasta shop for almost a year. As the pandemic continues to affect restaurants and force industry leaders to adapt, the pasta shop opening came at a good time.
"I think it provides a little more intimacy for people to come here and then bring it home and they can have the same experience just with a smaller group in their home," said D'Angelo.
D'Angelo said that the pasta shop is an exciting adventure for his family during an uncertain time.
"It is a bit of relief," said D'Angelo. "I hope it can provide the community with an outlet to enjoy themselves if they have to stay at home."
