NORTH BRANFORD, CT — Supreme Seafood Restaurant in North Branford, which has been around for nearly 35 years, has been sold to new owners who plan to keep it going.
Robert Marcarelli, who along with his partners purchased the restaurant, said he wanted to dispel inaccurate rumors about the restaurant closing.
“Many people think the business is closing permanently,” he said. “We are keeping the business name, staff, and recipes all the same.”

The new owners bought the restaurant Nov. 28. The three new owners are all industry veterans “who were looking to start a restaurant group while utilizing all the knowledge they had gained in the combined 70+ years of their restaurant and hospitality careers,” according to the restaurant’s website.
“It’s an established business known for using quality ingredients and has an outstanding reputation in the area for great service,” Marcarelli said. “These two attributes were very important to us. We wanted to continue the legacy that Ralph (Amendola) and Vinny (Caprio) started.”
