Great food, no compromise.
T
hat is the motto at Anthony’s Restaurant and Pizzeria in Enfield. Owner Dimitrios Patetsos immigrated here from Greece in 1986 at age 18, bringing with him a love of the traditions of his first home and a commitment to great, fresh food. Today, Patetsos says America – and Enfield in particular – is his home, but he still honors his Greek traditions with his food. “It’s in my blood,” he said, but admitted cooking wasn’t his intended career path. “I studied electrical engineering,” said Patetsos. “In Greece, I started working at a tavern at a young age though.” He received offers to work as an electrical engineer, but he kept going back to his love of cooking. And, he said, he loves it all. The menu at Anthony’s reflects Patetsos’ love of food and cooking with its varied options, including seafood. “I love all seafood,” he said. “I grew up on a Greek island and ate a lot of fresh seafood -- it’s my favorite.” Anthony’s menu is filled with seafood options, from the “extra jumbo” shrimp cocktail to sea scallops, clams, fish entrees and more.
