We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Jorge !!“

“Love it here! On the weekends it is always buzzing, great vibes & perfect night out atmosphere. Food is consistently delicious, pasta, salads, apps all so good! Some favorites are the arugula salad, charred peppers, focaccia & literally all of the pastas. The Chiquita & La Passione drinks are like nothing I’ve had anywhere else - so delicious & innovative. For dessert get a Nutella donut - divine. One of my fave places!“

They all rock, they all work so hard and treat the guests well and make us all feel well at home.“

“Everyone is so friendly and the food is amazing. Very reasonable prices and don't leave w/o trying the cheesecake!! ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎“

“First time here and would definitely be back. Although my friend's birthday was not acknowledged, it was still a great meal. Service was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful. I had the burrata appetizer, which was plentiful and really meant to share. Large portions of prosciutto and roasted peppers accompanied the burrata. Very good. My friend had the clams oreganata, a bit salty but good as well. She had the Sunday dinner pasta, which had a combo of meats and very flavorful. I dithered between the branzino and halibut, and at the waiter's suggestion chose the branzino. To die for! The flavor combos with the apricot on the fish and whatever it was in the shaved brussel sprout/mushroom medly was excellent. Luckily it was enough for two meals for me so I could enjoy it the next day as well. Our dessert was a special, which was an apple cake with vanilla ice cream sitting in caramel. Yum! We came early so it wasn't loud. And it was odd to see the manager serving tables and kind of running around checking everything. But overall, a nice place, good food and we will be back.“

“This place is perfection! Just steps from Stamford Center for the Arts' Palace Theatre, it's perfect for dinner and a show, drinks, etc. The good is always fresh, vibrant & delicious. Respectful of dietary choices/restrictions. Gorgeous hotels on either side. Seriously perfect!“

“Constantino’s makes the perfect pizza. The ingredients are so fresh and the customer service experience is the cherry on top. We went for the soft opening a few weeks back and the atmosphere was so family oriented and welcoming. Some of the best pizza I have had! They have a bunch of different kinds but the grandma pizza and the plain pizza are out of this world! You have to try this place. Mike the owner is absolutely wonderful and knows what really good pizza is.“

“My wife and I travelled from Toronto Canada to Port Chester NY to attend a concert at the Capitol Theatre on a Friday night in October 2025. We parked in the lot beside the restaurant (which was very convenient) and were greeted by a very friendly host, who seated us right away – accommodating my wife in her wheelchair with ease.\n\nThe restaurant was lively, filled with families enjoying themselves – such a wonderful atmosphere. We told our server, Joey, that after dinner we were heading to a concert around the corner. Joey was so kind and assured us we would make it on time – and he was absolutely right! He and the kitchen staff were incredibly efficient.\n\nDinner was absolutely amazing – a true 10/10 - and Joey's service was top-notch. The matriarch and patriarch visited our and other tables to check that everything was perfect (and it was!). They and the entire team made us feel welcome and like part of the family.\n\nWe rarely take leftovers when travelling, but our meal was so good that we did this time – and it was just as delicious when we warmed it up for lunch the next day at our hotel.\n\nWe highly recommend T&J Pizza and Pasta (T&J Restaurant & Pizzeria) to everyone!“

“Great Quality Food and I can honestly say that as I grew up and live in Manhattan most of my life.“

“Look what I just found in my salad from Papa Joe’s - much #love as always!“

“Such a great experience! The bartender Carly was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made the night feel special. The food was incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared, which really stood out. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the drinks and the menu. We'll definitely be back!“

“Thank you Pasquales Restaurant! The service extended by the staff was unbelievable! The flow of service was perfect. Not always easy to serve 16 people but the staff did it with ease. The food was great. Then there is Frank the Valet, he’s the best! Thanks again….“

“I’ve been there 5 times. Never had a bad experience. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and price is reasonable. Perfect match! My favorite restaurant in Westchester.“

“Really enjoyed our first time there. Can’t wait to come back and try more food!!!“

“When I saw the line of people waiting to get a table who reserved a table, I thought that we would be waiting 2 hours, neglected by the waiter. However, the opposite happened. The waitress was very attentive and kind, and the food came quickly and was very good. I especially recommend the Brodo. Just be aware it can get a little loud when they are very busy, and it can be hard to have a conversation sometimes.“

“Incredible atmosphere and vibe. Food was amazing We had the best waiter ever. Five stars all the way.“

“First time here, and definitely will not be the last! Great atmosphere, staff is fantastic, the food was amazing (capellini pomodoro!)! Would definitely recommend on a daily basis.“

“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!“

“We've lived in Rye Brook for 4 years and we've been looking for a good pizzeria which is close to us. I always drove by F&L and finally tried it out and the pizza is amazing. It's the best pizza we've had in the area by far. Their wedges are also really good and you don't break the bank when you go to Frankie & Louie's. Employees are friendly as well. We highly reccommend trying it out.“

“I ordered Chicken Marsala and the chicken was raw. I did not notice until I'd already eaten a bit. I called the restaurant immediately and the man who answered had a very hard time believing that the chef who's been there for 30 years sent out raw chicken. I sent pictures to him. No reply. I am very sick today. I called the restaurant this morning and explained the situation again to a much nicer man who at least apologized and said he'd have a manager call me shortly when they got in. No manager has called. Nicks Pizza made me sick, refused to believe their chef sent me raw chicken...and I gave them plenty of time to make it right. With their lack of response or even care for this matter, I feel I now am left with no other choice but to post this review of my experience. I've been sick all day and have pictures of the pink/translucent chicken I ate from here to prove it. I am a long time customer however will never be back.“

“absolutely a pleasure... from being greeted by Michelle mgr.....talking with the owner...we would return tomorrow but we live in Atlanta... oh the desserts ate amazing... really 6 🌟“

“Delicious 😋 very good attention, excellent food, the delicious desserts“
