Carbone's Returns to Hartford Downtown After Six-Year Pandemic Hiatus
Carbone's, a historic Hartford restaurant founded in 1938, is reopening at 39 Front St. after closing in 2020 due to the pandemic. The new location, formerly a movie theater, received $2.3 million in government loans. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for September 1, 2026, marking the return of the fourth generation of the family to the city where the business began.
