ANSONIA - At 6 p.m. Sept. 9 Warszawa Restaurant opened its doors to a full crowd.
Owner Michael Dembowski has hired six full-time employees. 
The restaurant at 350 Main St. occupies approximately 1,800 square feet of space. 
Warszawa features a piano and dance floor for dining entertainment. 

“We are excited about the first Polish restaurant in the Valley," Mayor David S. Cassetti said. 
"The food is superb and we are hoping that residents of Ansonia and neighboring towns will stop in for dinner. It is a nice complement to our Polish deli Europol Deli and Gifts located on the same side of Main Street. 
"Main Street is becoming a dining destination for Ansonia and the Valley," he said."We hope to attract visitors from all over who want variety.” 

Corporation Counsel John Marini added, “There is a lot of activity in downtown and a lot happening. These restaurants are drawing much-needed foot traffic into the downtown and that’s good news for Ansonia.” 

The restaurant serves traditional Polish fare such as blintzes and a Polish platter which consists of pierogis, golumpkis, and blintzes.
It is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 a.m.- 9:30 p.m., Thursday - Saturday from 11 a.m.- 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon - 9 p.m.
The new restaurant is one of many developments occurring on Main Street. 
A new Thai restaurant will be opening soon, and Massimino’s new construction project, which will consist of a restaurant and catering venue (new construction on Main Street hasn’t happened since the '90s). 

In addition, the purchase and sale of the site adjacent to Target for the redevelopment of a big box store and restaurant is forthcoming.  
Road Ready is preparing to open, Fitzpatrick’s Chrysler Jeep Dealership is in the middle of a million-dollar expansion, LuLu Pazza Italiano is about to open in the former Antonio’s restaurant location with a multi-million dollar renovation, and the city is preparing for the sale of the ATP/Palmer buildings.
