At Beginnings, every chapter is a celebration of food, family, and unforgettable experiences. Now proudly owned and operated by a close-knit team—Ricky Lafontant, Brian and Keleigh Bivona, and Executive Chef Matt Bivona. We fell in love with this space the moment we discovered it. When we took ownership, our mission was simple: honor what made Beginnings special while elevating every detail with warmth, care, and a deep respect for our community.

Our dining room is warm and inviting—rustic tables, intimate seating, and bookshelves filled with timeless classics and whimsical treasures. It’s a place that feels like home, where stories unfold over great food, crafted cocktails, and immersive events.

Local resident and pop-culture enthusiast Meaghan O’Connor helps bring the magic to life—co-creating themed dinners, tastings, and unforgettable experiences alongside Keleigh.

From literary-themed décor to pop-culture dinners, live music to movie-inspired tasting menus, there’s always something new to discover.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Beginnings—where every visit starts a delicious new story.
