Connie was born September 21, 1919, in Bolton, England. Ted was born April 21, 1918, in Peterborough, England. They both emigrated to the United States when they were 2.
Connie and Ted met at a volunteer fire department dance in 1938. They fell in love, and were married on Connie’s birthday, September 21, 1940, settling in Pawtucket, RI.
Ted entered the Navy and was stationed in Pensacola FL, with Connie by his side. Their first daughter, Carolyn, was born June 2, 1942. While on leave, Ted took up fishing, a sport he enjoyed his whole life. They returned to Pawtucket RI, where their second daughter, Joanne was born February 25, 1947.
That same year, Ted built a summer cottage in Matunuck RI. Connie and Ted enjoyed many years of fishing in the years that followed. That love of fishing was passed on to their daughter Carolyn’s son, Michael Cimarusti…in spite of the fact that Ted made Michael clean and fillet the day’s catch.
Ted, passed away January 1, 1996, and now fishes in that great ocean in the sky…
Connie and Ted’s is inspired by their story, their love for family, and the good times they spent together fishing off the shores of New England. At Connie and Ted’s you’ll find simply prepared fish and shellfish, inspired by the classic clam shacks, oyster bars, and fish houses, that dot the New England Seaboard and the Western Coast.

HOW IT WORKS:
- Phase One - we get enough support to go forward. We take a non-refundable deposit - this is not the cost of the dinner approx. will hold your space. Should the dinner not hit the minimum - we will refund your purchase. Should the dinner continue, deposit is forfeited if you do not complete the registration.
- Phase Two- we have reached enough reservations to go forward and have signed the agreement with the venue. Event is now rain or shine and no cancellation policy is enforced. We open 1 bottle per guest - maximum 15 guests/15 wines (minimum). We always aim to under promise and over deliver - and bring back of wines should we have an issue; but our policy is that corked wine can and does occur - see our policy - one bottle per paying guest, and price of dinner is not predicted on any one wine remain in place and are accepted at deposit.
- For some events, we will offer companion tickets (please inquire - they maybe sold out at this time) (only available with a full price companion - you will share their wine)
- Once we reach the minimum - we issue invoices that need to be paid inside of 48 hours. Deposit Price of the event includes tax but does not include service and 3.5% credit card fee.
Dinner Policy
All tickets (including deposits) are non-refundable. We can adjust your menu for dietary needs up to 72 hours prior without any additional cost. Wines can change without notice, failure or corked wines do not result in any type of credit or refund. We open one bottle minimum per paying guest, and can reduce the total number of bottles being opened so that the event does not have to cancel should ticket sales not reach potential. Fewer bottles will equal larger pours, so you will get the same quantity of wine and we always open the best wines for the quality of the event. Cancellation due to illness is understandable and appreciated, but does not qualify for a refund. If you are not well, you may ask for the food to be made available for togo or assign your seat to someone else without fee. The perishable nature of our product requires no cancellation, no credit, no refunds for any reason. Cost of ticketing fees and credit card fees are lost at purchase.
