On April 4, 1968 Angie and Charlie Viscardi fulfilled a life long dream by opening Viscardi's Colonial Inn in Old Greenwich, Connecticut.  The food was not the only fare.  People visited the restaurant for the warm and friendly atmosphere and the genuine concern the Viscardi family felt for their patrons.  More often than not, those who walked through the doors of Viscardi’s became friends.  It was a delightful neighborhood gathering place.  Thirty-five years later, to the day, the Viscardi family closed the doors leaving us with countless memories and wonderful friendships.

On April 28, 2005, Angie and Charlie’s legacy continued when Dede and Peter Tripolitsiotis and Corky Viscardi opened Trips’ Restaurant again offering outstanding food, excellent service, and the same warmth that Viscardi’s was known for.  Trips’ offers a casually elegant dining room as well as a bar set off from the main room with a full menu including daily specials.  The owners and staff look forward to maintaining the same level of excellence that characterizes their philosophy that a good meal shared with family and friends is one of life’s pleasures.
