Baldanza on Elm Street Closes

Elm Street restaurant Baldanza Café has closed, officials said in a press release issued Friday.

Originally located up the alley down toward the intersection at Main Street, Baldanza in September 2018 moved to 129 Elm St., formerly the location of Chef Luis restaurant.

The restaurant offered a seasonal menu of organic food.

“[N]egotiations are already underway for Baldanza Café to re-open in a new downtown location this summer,” the press release said.

In the meantime, owners Sandy and Angela Baldanza are keeping their location in Darien open, and New Canaan is among the towns it delivers to, it said.

“The Baldanza family will continue to create all natural, delicious meals for the discerning diner—as they have done for the past eight years,” the press release said. “They look forward to an exciting, new chapter in their lives and to relaunching in New Canaan later this year.”

Baldanza in 2017 had entered into a partnership to operate the Bedford Post Inn in Bedford, N.Y. and revised the menu there, but left after a short stint.
