Italian food is comfort food; it's rich and flavorful, warm and hearty, and it's best enjoyed with friends and family. Pasta is food for the body and the soul. We are a family-owned business serving up homemade Italian cuisine to the Stamford community since 1983. Every single dish over the years has been not only authentic, scratch-made pasta, our homemade desserts by Chef Neil Vitiello, seafood, pizzas and more crafted from our family recipes, it's been cooked and served with love too. What's better than enjoying great food with live music? Join us every Tuesday night for Tuesday Night Live Jazz, featuring superb area musicians playing music from the Great American Songbook, pop and soft rock from the decades. Once a month we host an open mic/live karaoke night with Chris Coogan backing you on the keys! From our family to yours, we look forward to welcoming you soon.

Only reason 4 stars on food due to ordered burger med-well and got it med-rare. If I send it back, what does my guest do w/his salmon? That one issue aside, it is a top-shelf experience. and would definitely return.

The holiday motif / decorations make a big impact ! They did a great job of getting into the Christmas theme. The brunch food was pretty good - the breakfast pancake tacos and crunchy French toast were our favorites. The service was slow because we said we needed a few moments. We waited for some time for coffee to start us off - we warned if you ask for a few extra moments to think you are likely to wait double to triple that & then the wait staff don’t always check in on you even when it’s not fully busy ! also if you ask for real sugar for coffee you might be better off bringing your own - they had plenty of artificial sweeteners though ! Overall the company of friends and convo always helps any place - glad we celebrated the new year together with a pretty view :-)
