Support TerraSole Ristorante

I am Pietro Polini, a resident of Ridgefield and the proud owner of TerraSole Ristorante, a beloved establishment in Ridgefield, CT. This restaurant is not just a business to me; it is an integral part of our community that has brought joy, comfort, and delicious meals to countless residents and surrounding communities. It has become a destination restaurant that brings many people to our community. However, we are currently facing an issue that threatens the existence of the restaurant.

After three years, a letter from the Director of Planning and Zoning was received stating TerraSole Ristorante needs permits for existing structures. Even though at the time we were advised differently. Without these permits, we risk having to alter or remove parts of our establishment - changes which will negatively impact both our operations and your dining experience. We tried to appear before the proper boards and commissions to rectify any misunderstandings and obtain the proper permits but were dismissed without any conversation. Since these changes happened during Covid there were certain Governor Executive Orders that took precedence and I believe even town officials were not completely sure about what was happening. It is not fair that three years later the town wants me to remove everything which could put me out of business, instead working with me to fix. If you would like to read more about this please see the letter posted on HamletHub Ridgefield.

Ridgefield is home to over 25,000 people (US Census Bureau) many of whom have dined at and enjoyed what TerraSole Ristorante offers. This issue affects not only me as the owner, but also you as patrons who participate and appreciate the unique and quality dining experience we provide.

We urge local authorities to grant these necessary permits promptly so that we can continue serving you without disruption. Your support will help ensure the TerraSole Ristorante remains a cherished part of Ridgefield vibrant community.
