Last June Violi’s restaurant was targeted by a arsonist. Today rebuilt it re opened.
Violi's Restaurant at Hunter Golf Club in Meriden opened its doors again Thursday, 10 months after flames from an apparent arson tore through the facility.
"It has been a very long ten months but we are all very excited," the golf club posted on Facebook on Wednesday. "We greatly appreciate everyone's patience."
The rebuilt restaurant reopened for business Thursday, April 16.
Police said they never managed to identify the man with a gas can spotted at the scene of last June's two-alarm fire. He was wearing a baseball cap and glasses and may have been talking on a cellphone.
Anyone with new information is asked to call Det. Gonzalez at 203-630-6318.
