Carbone’s closed its Hartford restaurant in 2020 amid the shutdown and has not operated in the city since.
Now, six years later, the family is bringing the Carbone name back downtown.
The new restaurant is on Front Street in Hartford’s entertainment district, near the Connecticut Convention Center and Connecticut Science Center.
The area where the restaurant was planned was previously occupied by Apple Cinemas, which operated a dining movie theater at 39 Front St. It closed in 2023.
The Hartford project received about $2.3 million in government loans to help finance the endeavor.
