We would like to introduce ourselves as the new owners of Anthony Jack’s. We are thrilled to be part of the Southington community and look forward to meeting the customers and friends who have helped make Anthony Jack’s what it is today.

As we begin this new chapter, our commitment is to continue the Anthony Jack’s tradition by offering the same menu, the same quality, and the same dedicated staff that guests have come to know and love. Together, we bring more than 50 years of experience in the hospitality and restaurant industry.

Kostas Anastasiou was born in Greece and moved to America with his father in December 1972 at the age of 17. He began working at a pizzeria in New London and, within a few years, he and his father opened their own restaurant. Kostas, who opened his first restaurant in 1980, went on to own and operate Charlie’s Place Restaurant in Niantic, Connecticut,

Anthony Basileo, who owned and operated three Illiano’s restaurants throughout Connecticut for 30 years, grew up in the restaurant business alongside his father, who immigrated from Italy to New York in 1960. Anthony opened his first restaurant in 1985 in New York, and operated many others before relocating to Connecticut in 1996. He has dedicated his career to serving communities through quality food and hospitality.

We are honored to continue the legacy of Anthony Jack’s and are excited to serve the Southington community for many years to come.

Thank you for welcoming us!
Kostas and Tony
