Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu. Something for everyone; even the pickiest eater!“

“Recently held a conference in this hotel and the entire staff at this hotel made it amazing! From the delicious catering to the rooms and amenities, we had a fantastic experience! Dinner at Tony’s was incredible and it was even more amazing when Tony came and played a trivia game with all of us! The laughter and fun we had was just what we needed and it really was fantastic! I received nothing but amazing feedback and I truly cannot thank the staff enough! If I could give you more than 5 stars, I would!!! Thank you!!!“

“Who wouldn't love this beautiful restaurant whose ceiling is filled with greenery and mini-twinkle lights? The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the prices are reasonable. We love our favorite waiter, Chabbi who makes every experience special. My husband and I love the small plate of crudites the restaurant puts on each table as well as the yummy flat bread before we dine like royalty! Worth a visit, for sure!“

“Great pasta, healthy, light, fresh… simply delicious“

“We held my daughter’s bridal shower there and can’t say enough good things about this place! Starting with Jose, who had everything under complete control to the most delicious food that the guests are still talking about! We had a mozzarella and tomato appetizer, penne vodka, chicken martini (which was unbelievably delicious) and salmon. Even the bread and biscotti were great! Red and white sangria was a nice touch to the meal. The wait staff went above and beyond to anticipate our needs. DEFINITELY 5 STARS!!“

“Love having Natalie back behind the bar! And Chef Ming is an artist. Seriously blew us away with his skills on the most basic dish - his classic cheese pizza. It’s almost what you would classify as classic Neopolitan, but with hardly any flop. He clearly chooses the best ingredients as well. Such an amazing surprise Can’t wait to go back with the family.“

“Very good experience from beginning to end. Staff fixed our babbling table immediately and then when the food and drinks began, they were amazing. From the mock tails for me and the cocktails for my wife, amazing. Priced perfectly. Local spot and we are definitely going back. Homemade pasta!“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had Calamari, Veal Romano and Chicken Parm. All three dishes were some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The service was excellent. There was not one negative thing at our visit.“

“The food was very good. We had a reservation for six people. Our table was comfortable. The service was good but from the second we sat down, every single server who came to our table was trying to rushing us through. The server who was taking our order came by three times, within minutes even, though we told him we needed some time. We finally had to tell another server that we are not in a hurry and we would like to please not be rushed through our meal and out the door. After that, we were able to enjoy our time and our food and drinks.“

“I Highly Recommend Amore's Staff & Cuisine ☆☆☆☆☆ !!!“

“This is a throwback to the family run Italian Restaurants of the 50's and 60's I knew as a kid. I felt comfortable 45-60 seconds after I sat down. No presence here, just great food and service...and you can have a conversation with your friends without leaning in or shouting...worth the adventure finding it!“

“First of all, a big thank you to the very wonderful host for accommodating our request to dine on the back patio—it was perfect! The food was outstanding, as always (highly reckoned any of their pizzas or pasta dishes, as well as the cocktails) and the service was top-notch, attentive, and friendly. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for a memorable evening!“

“Walk into a fine dining made comfortable. Nestled in a scenic back roads Greenwich, or take a ride overlooking NY waters. The ambiance has a dimly lit aesthetic, with exposed brick, making for a very warm and inviting experience. If you're an avid restauranteur, you'll enjoy, handmade margherita pies and pasta. Leave a little room for it's star, (or have it to go ) the Olive oil cake, a unique take on dessert. If you're there for drinks, you've hit the jackpot. It's Greenwich Food & Wine Festival meets New York restaurant week. Enjoy ?“

“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.“
