“We celebrated my husband’s grandfather’s birthday here tonight with a party of 14, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled so professionally and warmly. The restaurant is beautiful, elegant, and has such a welcoming atmosphere.

Our table was perfect, the service was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, and every dish came out exactly as it should. With a group our size, it’s easy for things to go wrong, but everything ran seamlessly. The staff worked together so well, and everyone in our party left happy.

The bill was also very reasonable, and while gratuity wasn’t automatically included, our server absolutely earned every bit of the 20% we gladly left.

Thank you for making such an important family celebration so special. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Felice to anyone looking for great food, exceptional service, and a wonderful dining experience.“

We met with Sergio on Wednesday and he completely accommodated all of our wishes for that upcoming Saturday in his beautifully appointed private room. We couldn’t have asked for a better four-course meal and the staff provided service that was top notch and utmost respectful under the circumstances. We enjoyed a memorable celebration of life! Thank you Sergio & Staff for making a very difficult day, end with warm hearts and happy bellies 🖤 Until we visit again...“

“Great service. Waiter was lovely! The Bibb salad with melon was absolutely delicious! The meatballs were tasty too! The mortadella pizza was fine. It was a bit salty for my liking. A mortadella pizza is one of my favorites and I felt like this missed the mark. The branzino was not tasty. It was dry and overcooked. Our cocktails were delicious! Each one had a unique flavor and not something every restaurant could make! Nice ambiance and child friendly.“

“Great food!!. Especially when eating in.

Food delivery is reasonably quick. Eating in is always great and the service is top notch!!

The only thing I've noticed wrong is that when food is delivered, the bread is sometimes doughy and even undercooked a few times.

Would however prefer to eat within the restaurant where I can rest assured that the food will be properly cooked and there are no rush jobs.“

“Fabulous! My favorite restaurant I’ve been to since moving here 6 months ago!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! We started with the mozzarella sticks, which were perfectly crispy and came with honey for dipping—a unique touch that was surprisingly delicious. The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful.

For pizza, we tried the Killer Bee and the Chicken Vodka, and both were outstanding. The flavors were incredible, and you can tell they use quality ingredients.

The real surprise was the cheesesteak—it was out of this world! The bread is made from their pizza dough, which takes it to another level.

On top of the amazing food, the owner and everyone working there were so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. This place is definitely a must-try!“

“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!“

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