What was once a popular neighborhood pizza place in the Clocktower Square, located in a quit rural corner of Southern Connecticut, is now a thriving contemporary Italian trattoria in the destination town of Monroe. Since 1998, local diners have been guarding this culinary gem as proud parents of the area's best kept secret. Trattoria Carl Anthony is the brainchild of Executive Chef/Owner Sam DeVellis and his brother Joseph and cousin Idilio. Carl Anthony Trattoria is an upscale Manhattanesque trattoria which oozes cosmopolitan style. Order from a wide, ambitious menu of imaginative cuisine. Specialties include balsamic calamari, sesame-encrusted tuna and zuppa di pesce.
