Boulevard of Dreams Boulevard of Dreams. Two of our area’s most beloved restauranteurs take their lucky number to New Canaan. Boulevard 18, c’est magnifique! Strada 18 in South Norwalk is arguably the most popular restaurant on Washington Street. No matter the season or day of the week, the up or down economy, or the time of day, the place is relentlessly, invariably packed. It’s an Italian formula created by front-of-the-house, all-around great guy and wine enthusiast Steven Semaya, his partner, the jovial, overly talented chef David Raymer, and Raymer’s long time sous chef Luciano Ramirez.
