Venezuelan Style Restaurant To Open New Spot In Shelton

SHELTON, CT — New Haven-based Somos Handcrafted Arepas will open a new location, its second, in Shelton, co-owner Alejandro Cordido recently announced on social media.

The restaurant serves Venezuelan style cuisine, and Cordido told The Hour that he hopes the Shelton spot will be open by April.

In recent months, Shelton has seen announcements for a new Pokemoto; the return of a Panera Bread; and a new Tocomida. Nearby Ansonia also is getting a new Zuppardi's Apizza.

"Shelton is like a hidden gem when it comes to food," Cordido told The Hour.
