A New Canaan resident with a successful restaurant in Greenwich is planning to open a second location on Main Street this summer. Joseph Barresi, owner of Doppio, said he’s wanted to open in New Canaan since moving here three years ago and finally found a great spot in the “alley” next to Ching’s Table, in the commercial space long occupied by Vicolo (and most recently by Best Pizza Shop).

“It reminds me a lot of Italy, those little villages and alleyways, it could be charming and do a lot of work to create that ambiance,” Barresi told NewCanaanite.com. Asked how he describes the restaurant to those who haven’t been to the Greenwich location, which opened in 2011, Barresi said, “Doppio is a chic yet approachable all-day dining destination where elevated Italian classics meet effortless style—perfect for a casual lunch, afternoon aperitivo or a relaxed evening out.”
