Connecticut's sought-after food Truck

bringing a passion for food on the road
for you to enjoy!

Rich Vallinaggi has the key to everyone’s heart – his food.

(And we can’t forget his personality and thoughtfulness, too.)

The 30-year business owner and locksmith took his lifelong passion for cooking and got a retirement career rolling, literally on wheels in 2019.

Rich opened Rich’s Wings & Things food truck shortly before the Covid pandemic struck. It was challenging at first due to Covid restrictions. But after donating and serving food to first responders for some time, followed by lifted restrictions, the business blossomed.

Its reputation continues to grow as businesses, organizations, and individuals book Rich’s Wings & Things for community events and private parties for window service and/or catering.

In addition, it is a staple vendor at several locations in and around New Milford, Conn.

Rich brings his Italian heritage, years of experience working in restaurants in the region, and a commitment to serve quality food and provide top-notch customer service to the business he operates with his wife, Debbie, who serves as hostess.

Rich has been a longtime resident of New Milford, having moved to town when he was 9. He has lived in the Greater New Milford area for many years, having moved back to his childhood home with Debbie in 2014.
