AVON/SIMSBURY SCOOP: New Restaurants Open / Coming Soon in Town!

A number of new restaurants have recently opened in town!

-Salsa Fresca Mexican Grill has officially opened their long-awaited location inside Avon Marketplace! The restaurant has been under developement since December 2022, and faced construction delays. The restaurant is similar to Moe's or Chipotle, and has 17 locations with 6 in Connecticut. A new location is scheduled to open this spring in Manchester.

-Villa Mulino has opened their doors at 136 Simsbury Road in Avon! The new Italian restaurant features Italian favors, seafood, salads, steaks and more! Make sure you visit them and get the taste of Italy right in Avon!

-Crumbl Cookies has also opened their new location inside the Shops at Nod Brook at 315 West Main Street in Avon. The cookie shop opened around New Years, and is a fan-favorite. The plaza was without a cookie shop since Nestle Toll House Cafe closed after a short stint. Check them out!

-ICYMI The second CT location of Raising Cane's is now under construction in Simsbury! The new restaurant will be located at Simsbury Commons, next door to Webster Bank! Construction is well underway with the foundation of the new building poured! A summer/fall opening is expected for the chicken finger restaurant! The menu is very simplistic, chicken fingers, chicken sandwich, fries, coleslaw, and Cane’s sauce.

-Update on DW Oyster House, it appears that the restaurant might not be coming to Avon Marketplace after all. The restaurant was planned to replace Bertucci's in the plaza; but the space is back up for lease. The restaurant would've been operated by Division West Bistro; who closed their flagship West Hartford location in late January for a suspended tax permit and back rent. We've reached out to the realtor for statement. Check out our post about it here: https://www.facebook.com/theconnecticutscoop/posts/467719689164488
