NORTH BRANFORD, CT — North Branford Town Manager Michael Downes said the community was "thrilled" to recently join in celebrating the newly renovated Supreme Seafood with a ribbon cutting.

Now under the new ownership of Robert Marcarelli and his partners, Downes said they are "keeping alive a tradition originally brought to us back in 1989 when it was opened by Ralph Amendola and Vinny Caprio."

The new owners bought the restaurant Nov. 28. The three new owners are all industry veterans "who were looking to start a restaurant group while utilizing all the knowledge they had gained in the combined 70+ years of their restaurant and hospitality careers," according to the restaurant's website.
