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.

Fortunately, I could make a reservation very close to Mother's Day. The hostess helped me put together a few tables for our party of 9 with umbrellas to help with the sunshine. The service was excellent, with the two servers accommodating us by slicing one of my sister’s homemade sourdough loaves for the table. The food was delicious (especially the crab cakes and beet salad), and we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on the patio. If you plan to come, park in the lower-level hotel garage next door for easy access to the restaurant. One of the dishes was missed in the ordering process, but our server rectified it quickly and even decided not to charge us for the missed dish, which was very nice. It’s in a great location in Stamford if you need somewhere central for people from other parts of CT and NYC. Would come here again!

Food was excellent as was everything else.
There was a wedding and 2 birthdays going on; so,
we ate in the bar area which was lovely. Service was
excellent, even with all that going on.
