There is a little parking lot but only couple spots and they’re usually taken. But found a spot outside fairly quickly. There are no reservations. So we came as a party of 3 and inside wait time was 2 hours. To sit outside was 1 hour but there are a ton of mosquitoes outside. Was a nice day so we sat outside. The service was amazing the server had knowledge about the menu and was very personable. She gave really good recommendations and the portions were a good amount. I loved the mussels they had so much flavor. Pasta and sauce was very flavorful. This place was highly recommended and I can see why. I would definitely be back

Been eating here for a few years now. Get here early because when they open at 5 all the tables will be gone. They will not seat you unless your party is all there.

We arrived without reservations and had about a 20 minutes wait which was not a problem. Had a glad of wine while waiting in a very small crowded waiting area. The restaurant was densely packed but orderly. The thing I love about this place is, if it’s not on the menu they more than likely could make it for you. Outstanding quality of food and service.

A lovely night out at an italian restaurant with a wide array of dazzling dishes with fresh pasta and food. I enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying a little bit of a quieter side of Stamford, removed from the city center.

My girlfriend got a gift card for this place so we figured we’d check out. We were delighted. From the apps to dessert, the experience was sublime. Our server was quite friendly and professional. The seafood specials were outstanding, with very authentic takes on Italian cuisine. My only complaint would be that the wine list was a bit small. My girlfriend would add that the parking expetrience was unpleasant. But overall an excellent eatery.

Good food and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere and staff. They serve you about 11 ounces per pour of wine by the glass (almost to the brim of the standard red wine glass), which I enjoyed.

Lovely lunch in this small but powerful little Italian restaurant. Our server Chris, could not have been more accommodating! The flexibility in the menu was good for me, I will definitely be stopping back here again.

We’ve been here many times, often with friends and family. We’ve long felt that this is the best Italian restaurant food in Connecticut, but we were surprised that the reaction of our friends was the same. We went through withdrawal during COVID!
