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.

    This review is long overdue! Our visit to Terra Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse was absolutely wonderful. We had a great experience from start to finish, the meats were fresh, delicious, and of excellent quality. The salad bar was amazing, with plenty of fresh options, but the real star of the show was the incredible variety of meats. Every cut was perfectly cooked, and we were pleasantly surprised to see salmon and shrimp included in the rodízio price. As always, we will definitely be back!

    Wonderful service and delicious food in a subdued and intimate atmosphere. We had a nice time catching up with old friends whom we could actually hear. Disregard the exterior shopping center and step into India.
