The name Rebellion pays homage to Tim's late grandmother Maria; the name Maria is synonymous with Rebellious and it was in her kitchen that Tim fell in love with Italian food. Tim is a second-generation American and was fortunate enough to experience cooking the way it was done in the old country. This restaurant pays its tribute to her with its name and her face as its logo... again a restaurant designed with love and for love.
The name Rebellion is more than a tribute to Tim's grandmother but a name that signifies their intent and that intent was to create something that Danbury has yet to experience; To create dishes and cocktails that you wouldn’t find here. They wanted this restaurant to be a destination in Danbury and to be a symbol of pride for both the patrons and the community.
