Make Mother’s Day Brunch, Dinner Reservations Now In Westport

WESTPORT, CT — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite Westport brunch spot?

Many restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you’re still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery is an option in many places.

Some hometown restaurants here in Westport that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• Arezzo Ristorante, 5 Riverside Ave.

• Rizzuto's Oyster Bar and Restaurant, 540 Riverside Ave.

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.
