A listing of local smokefree dining and entertainment venues.


In 2003, smoking was banned in workplaces. This includes restaurants and bars but exempts casinos and private clubs. The ban is being challenged in court by business owners who want either a repeal of the ban, or its extension to all workplaces, so as to provide a level playing field.

COLCHESTER

Family Pizza Restaurant
296 South Main Street   (860) 537-3441
We discovered a great place. I will surely be visiting there whenever I venture out for a meal. It was funny because we were opting for a Friendly's, but I saw this big sign that read, "Family Pizza Restaurant SMOKEFREE" and instantly pulled in! They had much more than pizza and quite a variety. I had a burger myself and the lemonade was the best! It is Greek-owned and more of a family environment with a diner variety. Customers seat themselves, but the service is excellent. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and offer a senior discount Mon-Thur. The desserts looked delicious, but I did not splurge (yet)! And they have takeout, too.
thanks to Laureen S.!


DANBURY

Cafe on the Green Restaurant
100 Aunt Hack Road (Richter Park Golf Course)    203-791-0369
Smokefree inside.
Friendly atmosphere, impeccable service, fine dining, and the best Italian food Danbury Connecticut has to offer. Northern Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, average entrée $12 to $20, dress casual, but fashionable.
View of fairways from many seats.
The restaurant's overall structure was influenced by European architecture. Traditional and elegant Italian flare with a court room theme. The interior is accented by yellow tones, enhanced by oil paintings and flowers and plants, and the lighting is by the glow of candle flame. High ceilings with seating for 260. It is luxurious and romantic and attracts a mature and classy clientele. Table talk is easy - this restaurant is quiet and subdued.
Appropriate (if not ideal) for impressing clients, birthdays, anniversaries, other romantic evenings, groups and private parties. When weather permits, enjoy outdoor seating.
Open for lunch and dinner. Seasonal daily specials. Lobster ravioli, Rack of Lamb, Filet Mignon, Osso Bucco, Red Snapper, Tiramisu, and Banana's Foster Flambé.
A full selection of alcoholic beverages is served, superb wine list.
Notable Mention: Best Clubhouse Restaurant in the State by Connecticut Golf. Rated excellent by Zagat's Connecticut and Westchester Dining Guides.
