Stalking Charge for New Canaan Man, 23

By |

Police last week arrested a 23-year-old New Canaan man by warrant and charged him with first-degree stalking, criminal violation of a protective order and second-degree breach of peace. At about 4:14 p.m. on April 15, officers went to the Stamford Police Department to take the man into custody on the warrant, which had been issued following investigation of an incident reported to New Canaan Police in December 2022, officials said. While in custody of New Canaan Police, authorities brought additional paperless rearrest warrants for charges on which the man had failed to appear. He was charged with four counts of second-degree failure to appear. According to Connecticut Judicial Branch records, New Canaan Police have arrested the man five times since 2021 and charged him with interfering with an officer, first-degree criminal trespass, second-degree breach of peace and numerous motor vehicle-related offenses.

Dolce Owners To Open ‘Lombardi’s’ Restaurant on Elm Street

By |

The owners of a popular Italian café in downtown New Canaan are planning to open a new restaurant down the street. Andrea Lombardi, owner of Dolce on Elm Street, is planning to open “Lombardi’s” restaurant one block away at 32 Elm St., according to plans filed with the New Canaan Building Department. 

“Andrea’s vision for space is sleek, acoustically tuned with imaginative lighting plans,” according to a letter of intent that forms part of the filing. The space recently had been occupied by an art gallery that moved within downtown New Canaan. According to floor plans, Lombardi’s will have a bar with 12 stools and 14 two-top tables on the first floor, with six four-top tables and a service bar on the second floor. Norwalk-based Mark Demmerle Architecture & Building Services is the contractor on the fitout, according to the filings.
