Foodie friday on fox 611/8/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() Well things work out for the best in the strangest ways- give a listen! By happenstance, I was having diner with my best pal, Miss Antoinette “Toni” Gooley” at the one and only Bloomfield Village Pizza about a week ago Friday when “Toni” remarked, “ Howard, I just heard that FOX 61 in Hartford is planning their next “Foodie Friday” segment and they chose for their next stop-Bloomfield- and they are asking folks to suggest a restaurant to feature”!

Chef Maria – is a true “world” chef with her influences coming from such countries including those of Greece, Romania and USA – her food – is fit for the royalty in all of us!!īoth Stravos and Maria are super special people- as a “townie”, I not only enjoy their freshly made pizzas, wings, fish platters, grinders and their whole roster of mouth watering cuisine, but their friendship – and like so many of our residents know, these two should also be recognized and honored for their quiet generosity to so many. Besides their world class pizza, they are also becoming well known for their weekly Frutti Di Mare- “Friday Fish Fry”. Howard Steven Frydman and Antoinette Toni GooleyĪs many of you know, one of my all time favorite restaurants in the beautiful hamlet of Bloomfield, Connecticut is “Bloomfield Village Pizza” owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Stavros Livanis and his wife, “The Empress Of Pizza” herself Chef Maria Rosu Livanis. ![]()
