Guilford Mooring in Guilford, New Haven County, United States | Seafood

Built in 1836 and fashioned from native granite, our little stone building first served as a Guilford shoreman's place of work until well into the 20th century. It soon became home to a series of eating places. Now as the tides continue to rise and fall against our docks, gently lapping at 200 year old mortar, sits the Guilford Mooring restaurant.



The Guilford Mooring results from the collective efforts of an eclectic group of enterprising individuals who share a common goal: To create a Seafood Restaurant that successfully marries a poetic and genuine New England ambiance with outstanding, indigenous and unique flavors of Nor' Eastern Seafood



A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Robert Anello has been a culinary professional for most of his life, starting at a young age working for Mamma Celeste's restaurant in Levittown, N.Y. After serving in the Marine Corps, he moved to Connecticut in the early eighties to work for the Pasquillacio's at Nuchie's in Forrestville. After eight years, he opened a small pizzeria in Berlin. Bob moved back to the United States and when the Guilford Mooring opened in 2000, he fulfilled a dream of opening a waterfront Seafood Restaurant, given the chance by entreprenuers: Vin R., Fran P. and Mike R. At first, Bob was head chef, but after proving himself, has since become a full partner.
