Felice, the celebrated Italian restaurant known for its soulful, Tuscan-inspired cuisine and impeccably curated wine program, will open the doors to its newest, and first Connecticut location at 38 Main Street. For a town that values community, quality and refined ease, Felice arrives as a natural fit.
Since debuting on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in 2007, Felice has cultivated a reputation for the kind of approachable elegance that never goes out of style. Its dining rooms, from New York City to Long Island to South Florida, are defined by a signature warmth: interiors that feel collected rather than designed, dishes that feel generous rather than fussy, and service that strikes that rare balance between polished and personal.
Felice Westport builds on this legacy, bringing a modern expression of the Italian neighborhood restaurant to one of Fairfield County’s most vibrant culinary communities. Expect a menu rooted in seasonality, with Tuscan heritage guiding each dish; wines sourced from small independent producers; and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to settle in, stay awhile and return often.
For founder and managing director Jacopo Giustiniani, this expansion feels both organic and deeply meaningful.
“Introducing Felice to Connecticut marks an important milestone for us,” he shares. “As our longtime New York guests establish roots throughout the region, we’re growing alongside them, bringing our modern Italian neighborhood restaurant, built for regulars and shaped by a balance of approachability and sophistication, to the places they now call home.”
As Main Street continues its evolution into a true dining destination, Felice’s arrival signals a new chapter for Westport: one filled with convivial gatherings, memorable meals, and a taste of Tuscany made for Connecticut living.
