Thank you for an excellent early weekend meal 😊🙏“

“Wonderful dinner experience last evening. The food is delicious and although the place was packed, we never felt rushed to finish. Instead, we were thanked multiple times for visiting and the entire staff was warm and friendly. We will be back!“

“A tradition! My friends and I cycle all over Stamford, New Canaan, Pound Ridge, Darien, and more …and about half the time they insist that we stop at “mother‘s” (as they call it) before we head to our respective homes. We always get rolls with egg, cheese, broccoli rabe, and bacon …and pancakes …and coffee and it’s definitely heaven.

Thanks for the warm welcome and fresh coffee every time!“

“Atmosphere lively and loud! Almost too loud at the bar but thatś ok ... Food really good - the fresh pasta very nice. Bucatini Short Rib w/mushroom sauce - bangin!! Same with the Fettuccine Bolgnese - bangin!! Margarita pizza very good but the crust isn´t the authentic not a lotta bubbles on the edges more bready type of crust but still very good. The service if friendly and very attentive.“

Cristian's attentive presence was commendable. He consistently checked in with us, making us feel valued and well taken care of. The bartender and the rest of the crew were incredibly friendly and accommodating, adding to the positive vibe of the evening. Scena rose to the occasion, delivering beyond our expectations for our group of 25-30 people. The tastefully decorated interior and cozy seating arrangements created a comfortable space for socializing and networking. Overall, our experience at Scena was phenomenal. The exceptional service, mouthwatering food, and delightful ambiance made it an unforgettable happy hour. We wholeheartedly recommend Scena for a memorable dining experience.“
