TRUMBULL, CT — A developer will demolish the building that housed Marisa's Restaurant for years as part of a development plan.

The three-acre site will house an approved 16,000 square foot building. Developer Michael Cerreta said the new Long Hill Village development will house a drive-thru Dunkin Donuts, a full service restaurant and several other commercial establishments.

"We have a very strong interest in this location and believe Trumbull residents will be excited about the new development and we are committed to working with the town to complete the vision for this area,” he said.

Michael and Mark Cerreta developed the adjacent plaza that contains Trumbull Pizza Company, Mex on Main G&G Liquors and Allstate.

The current site has been mostly vacant since Cast Iron Chop House left for New Haven in fall 2017.
