Drea's by Goodfellas has set their official opening date!

The new Italian restaurant will officially open on November 12th! They are located at 2 East Main Street in Branford, the former 'The Oxford' restaurant space.

Chef Gerry Iannaccone will make his return to Branford alongside his life partner, Andrea “Drea” Coppola. Get ready for a dining experience that blends tradition, warmth, and hospitality. The pair also own Encore by Goodfellas in New Haven, with similar emphasis on the same core principles.

With a combined 50 years in the restaurant industry, Gerry and Andrea honor the Goodfellas legacy by presenting exquisite dishes prepared with simple, authentic ingredients and served with genuine care. From hand-crafted pastas and rich, traditional sauces to indulgent house-made desserts.

At Drea’s, they bring the heart of Italy to your table. Set in a warm, relaxed atmosphere, dining at Drea’s feels like a visit with Nonna—where stories are shared, laughter fills the air, and every meal becomes a memory.
