Decca made periodic appearances at Food & Dining Magazine over the years (click here for the list). The restaurant opened in 2012 with chef Annie Pettry in the kitchen. The pandemic led to Decca’s temporary closure in late 2020, but it reopened in September of 2021, albeit without Pettry, who had departed earlier in the year.
