My Place:

Located in the center of beautiful Newtown, Connecticut, My Place Pizza & Restaurant is a family-friendly, neighborhood restaurant offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

Enjoy your meal in the dining room, private party room, the newly-renovated tap room or weather permitting, the new outdoor patio. The inventive menu of American specialties and European classics and the attentive service will leave you truly satisfied.

Mark Tambascio, brewer and a national beer judge, invites customers to pull up a seat at the horseshoe-shaped bar fashioned from natural bamboo wood, and from where the television can be easily viewed or a congenial conversation initiated. With a rotating menu of ten beers on tap and more than 50 varieties by the bottle, beer lovers can enjoy their favorite draft in a casual and friendly environment.

A new pub menu with delicious homemade German pretzels dipped in beer mustard, pulled pork sandwich or knockwurst on My Place pretzel bread, baked by Spinelli Brothers Bakery in Stamford or bite sized sliders and much more are all available during pub hours.

Wine aficionados will appreciate the weekly feature of four wines from the extensive list of wines from around the world, available by the glass or the bottle. A full bar is available, as well.
