SONO Baking Company & Cafe
“The SoNo Baking Company & Café, is the creation of John Barricelli who, had a vision of creating artisan breads, top quality French style pastries, specialty cakes in a homey, inviting Bakery/Café. He has worked in two of the finest kitchens in the area: The Elms Restaurant & Tavern in Ridgefield, CT and at Martha Stewart Living Productions in Westport, CT.
When working for Ms. Stewart, beginning in 1998, John was involved in TV production, developing and testing her show, working with guest chefs and becoming an on-air personality. He often appeared with Ms. Stewart, showcasing his many talents. John also worked as Ms. Stewart’s in-house caterers for a variety of business and social occasions cooking for large groups and serving dinner parties at her various homes.
In 2003, a television version of the Martha Stewart Omnimedia magazine, Everyday Food was being developed. Ms Stewart’s vision for the show was to feature real people who worked as cooks for the company—and also had busy and demanding lives—like most of us! John was among the five chosen for an ensemble cast. Everyday Food went into production, was sold to PBS and can be seen in 80% of the television market nationally.
Today John has realized his dream of owning a Bakery/Café. It is located in popular South Norwalk, CT (known as SoNo) in a renovated 3600 sq ft former warehouse. The open kitchen and bakery provides a view of hearth breads being baked in a deck oven imported from Italy, gorgeous cakes being decorated, and delicate pastries being carefully constructed—all while you dine in a homey, inviting Café which offers a simple, delicious menu.
John and the rest of the staff at the SoNo Bakery Company & Café invite you over to enjoy a bite to eat, our specialty coffees and some of our unusual and imaginative desserts. Afterwards, feel free to explore as much of SoNo as you can. With its refurbished antique buildings, artsy neighborhood galleries, great restaurants and bars, unique shops, the ever popular Maritime Aquarium, delightful Stepping Stones Museum for Children and close proximity to the waterfront, SoNo is definitely a great place to be! ”

Burger Bar and Bistro
“The Burger Bar is unlike any other burger joint. With its cutesy cow covered walls and tables, complimentary Sudoko booklets, and color coordinated chairs and settings, there is a not-so-subtle feminine twist on a traditionally masculine space. But burger enthusiasts need not worry; the 14 oz. double burgers and assortment of toppings and dipping sauces should do the trick.”
Great selection of burgers, hot dogs, and all the toppings and to-die-for mac & cheese. Bonus–they’re open late on the weekend!

The Brewhouse Restaurant on Marshall St. is located within walking distance of the Maritime Aquarium, the Crown Theatres and Historic SoNo. The building was originally built in the 1920’s and went under extensive renovations in 1992. The renovations included an addition of a full basement, second story and clocktower. The Brewhouse Restaurant was opened in 1995. One of the best burgers in Fairfield County and an extensive beer selection. Brewhouse According to Fairfield County Weekly, “There’s a lot to be said for well-thought out grub from the Emerald Isle. [O’Neills] is a true restaurant and pub in the classic sense, not some confused sports bar with a shamrock or two in the o’window. The bartenders can pour a Guinness with a head thick enough to think invading Iran’s a good idea, the kitchen offers not one, not two, but three different pies (Shepherd’s, Beef & Guinness and Fisherman’s) and it may be the only respectable watering hole where you can throw steel-tipped darts while munching on golden fried brie. When you need an escape hatch from the overheated SoNo club scene, can’t go o’wrong at O’Neill’s.” Winner of “Best Irish Restaurant” according to the 2007 Fairfield County Weekly Best of Reader’s Poll. O’Neill’s Pub & Restaurant Bull Dog Bar & Grill According to Fairfield County Weekly, “Much of Match’s allure has to do with its ambiance–hip, industrial decor that’s made cozy by an open-to-view pizza oven and a lively 14 seat bar area that attracts a handsome crowd.” Winner of “Best Restaurant Overall” according to the 2007 Fairfield County Weekly Best of Reader’s Poll.
