Due to unexpected medical conditions, it is difficult to say that The Corner Bistro will be closing its doors for the last time on April 26th.
40 years ago, the Marcello family opened the doors at 1115 Old Hartford Pike as Countryside Restaurant, where they served breakfast, lunch and dinner for 20 years. In 2006 it was developed to what we have known for the last 20 years as The Corner Bistro, which for over a decade has been run by Karen Marcello and co-owner/executive chef Robert Gaudiana.
We apologize to our very loyal staff and customers for this retirement being so sudden, and we want to thank you for all the years you have given to us.
Love,
Karen Marcello and Robert Gaudiana
