Wayne’s third generation family-owned business, Addessi Jewelers, has brought sparkle and joy to so many family celebrations for over 70 years. He is also a philanthropist and driving force behind inRidgefield. We asked Wayne to share with us his Ridgefield favorites.

Italian restaurant:
TerraSole and Gallo’s and are both the closest to my homeland in terms of authenticity.  I love them both! Delizioso !

Afternoon pick me up:
Tazza for espresso and a little something sweet.  Deborah Ann’s if I’m bad!

Outdoor dining:
Southwest Cafe, The Lantern

Arts:
There are so many destinations for the Arts. This is my favorite sector of town, along with the restaurants.

Cocktail:
Summer drink: A Spritz Veneziano, also called just Spritz or just Veneziano, is a wine-based cocktail commonly served as an aperitif with prosecco.

Charity:
I think every one of them. We always try to support them all!

Gift shop:
Ours is pretty nice.

Favorite Event:
Holiday Stroll

Art gallery:
The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and I’m excited about the new RPAC gallery.
