Riko's Pizza opened its 11th restaurant and sixth in Fairfield County in Westport at 60 Charles St., across from Westport Metro North train station and Luciano Park. The owners and several local and state dignitaries attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony this week.
Rico Imbrogno, the co-founder and CEO of the chain said he chose Westport because he believed the town has nothing like it, he said in a news release when he announced the opening this summer.
"Westport is not only one of the most dynamic markets in Connecticut, but one of the top suburban markets for restaurant operators anywhere in the country," he said in a press release. "This new location is going to be awesome. High ceilings, a huge bar, dozens of tables with enough seating for 140 guests, and the classic Riko's décor mixed with large TVs from wall to wall."
The restaurant opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. It closes Friday and Saturday when it closes at 11 p.m.
The company has locations in Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, and New York.
