“Great staff and great food even during this pandemic. And accommodating”
“I'm a true foodie who cooks at home so when I go out for dinner I select the restaurants carefully Based upon quality of food. This is my first review of a restaurant because it deserves my opinion. Last night at Sienas ( not my first time there) but the service and experience is worthy of commenting. Last night my husband and I dined and had the most delicious dinner. I ordered the special ( home made pasta with broccoli rabe and crumbled sausage. My husband had the tagliatelle with truffle with mushrooms in a cream sauce. The food was just top notch. The pasta was so fresh and would compare to any Top notch nyc Italian restaurant in my opinion. The pear walnut salad was also delicious and freshly prepared with high quality. The owners sent us lemoncello and fresh mango sorbet and of course they always give their guests homemade thinly sliced Biscotti's on the house. That was an unexpected and generous for a restaurant to provide on the house. This is what more restaurants should do from time to time to have repeat customers. We appreciated the hospitality. I must also comment that I love espresso martinis and find it rare to have one that you would remember. That was the best one I have had in a very long time. Delicious.. I look forward to dining back again and again.. Enjoy this fine little gem Siennas”

“The food was incredibly authentic, delicious, and truly satisfying. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service—the staff were exceptionally friendly, kind, and accommodating. Their warmth and attentiveness made the meal all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend!”
“Food is number one but engaged and present owners set the tone in this buzzing north stamford market/deli. Fresh, generous, creative sandwiches, cool specials and the secret weapon is top notch pizza. The cha cha cha breakfast burrito might just be the morning winner too. Keep it up guys and we will remain regulars!”
“Well worth the trip. Excellent banh mí sandwiches and delicious Vietnamese iced coffee.”
“They made us feel special last night. And the food was excellent t - Best I’ve had outside of Mumbai!”

“Capital Grille is by far my favorite restaurant, especially this location. It was my husband's birthday. There were little birthday confetti on the table along with a Happy Birthday card. Our server Joe was exceptional as well as the Manager Kevin who checked on us multiple times. Joe took a picture of us and came back with a card with our pictures on it. The food was outstanding, as always. Steaks were done to perfection. Capital Grille goes above and beyond every time we go there. It doesn't have to be a special occasion. They are the epitome of professionalism. Thank you!”
“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!”
“All the times I’ve been to Llama Lips, the food has been delicious. Being raised in a Peruvian family and having stayed in Peru several times for vacation months, there are times when one craves the “real” Peruvian flavor. Not that other restaurants are not “good”, it’s just that they don’t “hit the spot” for someone that knows what authentic Peruvian flavor tastes like. Yes the cost to eat here is higher than other fusion restaurants, but it is 100% reasonable when you take into account that they are literally working hard to bring to your table what they would offer you in Peru. Details like, the “cancha salada”the minute you sit down, the specific yellow potato that is used in the Caldo de Gallina, the real “yellow sauce” that’s robust and not watered down by mayonnaise, the “yuyo” (Peruvian seaweed) that dresses the ceviche, and many more things that gives you the real authentic Peruvian flavor. Every time I eat there it’s like I have been transported back to Peru. The fact that they now offer a lunch menu is a total gift. I highly recommend giving at least the lunch menu a try. My only reason for not rating the service a perfect 5 stars is that the wait time for your food to get out during the lunch menu hours (from the menu of the day), can be a little longer than expected. For someone going there to eat lunch during their lunch break, you may be rushed to eat due to the time or have to take it to go. Other than that, the servers are clean, friendly, informative and polite. The space is spotless and the ambiance is great to eat in peace.”
“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.”
“the classic chicken souvlaki was great. the atmosphere wonderful and loud. 😀”

“Today I copped a sausage egg cheese croissant and tea... They did the croissant just as I asked... I love that. Dunkin donuts when I ask they always still burn the croissant. I always ask lightly toasted. The meat they use seems better than dunkin. Dunkin I keep biting on tiny bones in the sausages. And the tea... well they forgot the cream.. since I said light with 3 sugars but that's OK. I'll add the cream later. I wanted it for when I got home. My car has 106 degrees showing today so I wasn't interested in drinking it right then and there. The lady at the window was real nice.
Another store near a FedEx around ardmore rd also does good too with my requests & are welcoming in their demeanor.
I wish there were more of these in CT and not just in the Stamford Area.”
“This wonderful dinner was incredible!!!! absolutely 💯 delicious and way above other Italian restaurants in the area. They make food with love!!! Everything from beginning ✨️ to end was perfect 🥰 Thank you so very much for the hard work that you put into this! The food is fresh, hot and delicious! Loved the full glasses 🥂 of wine 🍷 too!!!”

“Used to go for lunch at least twice a week when I worked in Stamford… for 15 years straight! Since I moved out of the area, literally ANY time I pass through Stamford (or even a half hour from it!) I stop for that incredible salad of theirs. There’s nothing like it, covered in feta, Gorgonzola and onions, with that perfect house dressing. It’s simply the best and remains my favorite salad ever!”
“Excellent all you can eat menus . We had great service. The owner visited us at our table. I was very satisfied and the food was delicious 😋 Great for those hungry teens”
“Excellent bar! Amazing, delicious food and drink, plus great service. Professional waiters and nice music in stunning environment. Absolutely recommended 💜 Thanks.”

“Just went tonight and grabbed 2 chicken platters to go with my fiancé. The employees were wonderful. Beyond kind and personable. The food I don’t have words for. I didn’t take a photo due to being over excited but the portions are more than fair for what you pay. The hot sauce is VERY hot for me personally but I like it. The salata that comes with the entree is so fresh and tasty. The chicken is perfectly cooked - tender and seasoned deliciously. Even the rice is a masterpiece. We also highly recommend the pakora chips! They’re crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the outside, seasoned, and made fresh to order. We were even told by the staff that we were welcome to sit and make ourselves comfortable while we waited for the chips since they are made to order but our food was done so fast we barely had a chance to! We’re not done eating but we’ve already agreed this will be our Saturday night go to. For 2 people getting 2 platters and a side of pakora chips it was just $30. You’d spend more per person getting dinner from any other restaurant around.”
“The food was excellent. It took a little while to prepare, which to me meant is was made with care, and made fresh. It was totally worth the wait. The chicken shawarma platter was very flavorful and the portion was generous. The presentation would have been nicer in a plate rather than a tin container, with plastic utensils and tiny napkins, but I would imagine that this keeps the cost down, and makes it easier to take the rest home, since I couldn't finish the smaller size entree. The atmosphere is no frills, but the food exceeded my expectations.”
“I had an excellent experience with Javi From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, welcoming, and made us feel genuinely cared for. They checked in just the right amount—not too much, not too little—and always seemed to appear at the perfect time. Our drinks were kept full, food arrived promptly, and every request was handled with a smile.
What stood out the most was their professionalism combined with warmth. They were knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything was to our liking. It’s rare to find a server who strikes that perfect balance of efficiency and friendliness, but they did exactly that.
Thanks to their excellent service, our meal was not only delicious but also truly enjoyable. I’d absolutely come back again and would highly recommend asking for them if you want a top-notch dining experience! We definitely going to come back to Mecha for Javi !”
“Such an amazing experience! The food was fresh & amazing. They gave our son an ice cream cone just to see him smile.
My husband had the ramen and I had the Korean fried chicken- both were amazing!”
“the atmosphere was amazing, the staff was pleasant and very personable, the food was delicious and desert the chocolate bomb I believe that's the name was the perfect ending to a wonderful service also the waitress helped me pick out a non-alcoholic drink cucumber something I'm horrible with names that's why I haven't mentioned theirs because they definitely gave it I'm just horrible with remembering anyway....if you're in Stamford area go there you'll meet them tell them Emma sent you you won't regret it I live in New Jersey and will go back”
“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v”
“Upgrade yourself from fast food to quick food, cooked to order.
We walked in about 930p and they had no problem making whatever we wanted, and we were starving! Nice selection of Hispanic and Italian to make your belly happy. My Lomo saltado was great and my friend nearly finished his massive chicken burrito.
The place is a little small, something like 6-8 seats, but hoy Just as easy to order ahead for on the go. Would eat here again!”
“I've been going here since it opened. some of the best food in the state.”

“TODAY WE WENT TO CWISPY CHKN IN STAMFORD CT #foodlover #foodreview #review #ct #stamford #organic #chicken we ordered the sliders & chicken N waffles there were a few parking spaces in the front & the location is on a corner. My good friend Heaven recommended this restaurant #foodie #crunchy #foryou & my favorite item was the sliders #yummy #viral #shorts”
“Tiny ice cream place that does their own take on ice cream sundaes and shaved ice, with tons of tropical flavors and a "sundae" that has fresh fruit and condensed milk on top. The ice cream quality is very high, the people are lovely and eager to help, the portions are huge, and the combination of ice cream and fruit is extremely refreshing.”
“Quick appreciation post to Cobs Bread on High Ridge Road. My 2 year old son went in earlier and took a VERY long time to pick out what he wanted. The young lady helping us was so patient and kind with him. Once he picked out his treat, she told us that it was on her. So amazing. The young lady was wearing a Stamford High Mask. Hoping this reaches her parent or boss, what a wonderful young lady and amazing customer service! ❤️”
“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.”
“I had the pleasure of going there last night for first time and I highly recommend it...Amazing food, fresh ingredients, nice sized portions and the owner/staff are friendly, attentive and accommodating...The best, authentic Mexican cuisine food I’ve had ever and so reasonably priced...👍”
“Discovered Sergio’s about a year ago. It is now one of, if not my favorite eatery in Stamford. Great quality food at amazing prices. Love the people who run it, extremely nice. I get the Turkey sandwich on a wedge with provolone, lettuce, tomato and Mayo. I also get the chicken souvlaki with rice. The fresh bread is amazing. The chicken and rice is great as well. The prices are amazing. I absolutely love Sergio’s!”
“Surprisingly family-friendly for a bar! It’s our go to weekend hangout. There’s a whole separate area away from the main bar where you can let the kids loose (not literally… unless you’re into that). Tons of games: darts, table games, and enough fun to keep everyone entertained while you sip on a perfectly poured Guinness. The food? Ridiculously good. Wings and burgers hit the spot, and my husband swears by the Reuben-it’s basically his soulmate. Just don’t expect fine china here. Everything comes on paper plates, because the food’s too good to waste time on dishes. Bonus: the owners are the kind of people you’d want to have a beer with-friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly doing it right. Highly recommend if you want a place where the whole family can eat, play, and pretend it’s not a bar. 🍔🍺🎯”
“My beau, Tom, and I have been ordering from Rinaldi’s Deli of Stamford since working at home. What a Godsend Rinaldi’s is! Tom’s sandwich is fresh and tasty; my salads are fresh and tasty. Carol who takes the order is pleasant and efficient. The delivery person delivers the food literally with a smile. Cannot say enough good things about these people and their business. Five stars!”
“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!”

“Great food, elegant interior, super respectful staff, perfect for a special occasion! Little over priced, that's the reason for not 5 stars, would give 4.5 if I could.”
“After following for a long time finally took the trip from Philadelphia, PA to get a milkshake. The food and milkshake were great and the staff was amazing. Really worth the 2.5hr drive.”
“Excellent Sushi 🍣 so fresh, amazing Thai been going there for over 11 years. You will not be disappointed. It's family-owned. It's more than just Sushi it has Thai,Seafood, Curry and of course freshest Sushi around! xopuma”
“Excellent service and hospitality by both Babu and Kanagaraj.
I ordered catering as well for meals and they did an excellent job, all the dishes were very tasty and also they quickly turned around for extra orders.
This is my comfort place now for food”

“Just like Stamford's own Cheers. Where everyone knows your name. Great people and excellent food.”
“Si recomiendo a casa Villa por la experiencia , es una cocina seria y más que nada el dueño que sabe lo que está presentando para sus clientes recomiendo casa Villa”
“The restaurant looks very unassuming from the outside but has a really nice ambiance inside. The food was very good. I also liked that they brought a non spicy dipping sauce for my young daughter without being asked. We will definitely be back!”
“We just hosted a Celebration of Life- And Walter was wonderful to work with. The food was very good and service top notch!!!!!”
“The food was amazing! I had the mafaldine Nero which is a seasonal selection and my fiancé had the beef Wellington and both were delicious. The Wellington was cooked perfectly and my pasta with braised octopus was to die for. We also had the creme brûlée which was delicious. The margarita was one of the tastiest margaritas and I’m not a big margarita fan. The old fashioned with hibiscus infused bourbon was unique in it’s taste but I loved it. It gave the bourbon a refreshing taste. Service was excellent!”

“If you want top quality food and service this is the place to go. Cozy warm atmosphere and such friendly and inviting staff makes for such a perfect and memorable night !”
“Despite a mistake by the driver, the restaurant went out of their way to accommodate us and send a new order (we don't live close by). Very impressed with their customer service”
“My wife and I had a wonderful experience at The Royal Green in Stamford, CT this past weekend, in celebration of our 40th wedding anniversary. We had been there once before, although it was over a year ago, not long after the restaurant opened. We enjoyed it immensely, and so we wanted to return for this special occasion. Everything was superb: the ambience, the food, and the service. The beginning of our dinner was propitious; our server for the evening came by to greet us, and we immediately recognized each other. We exchanged “I know you” looks and comments and then proceeded to recount snippets of the conversations we had shared at our first dinner there many months before. We were all delighted! It was like a mini-family reunion. Our server was Anne Marie, and she could not have been nicer. She was so knowledgeable, pleasant, and accommodating, and she made the evening even more special for us. We started dinner with the Maryland crab crumble appetizer. Wow, was it good! My wife, who had ordered a fish special the last time we were there, would not pass up steak this time around, and she ordered the barrel cut filet mignon with béarnaise sauce. It was superbly prepared and she had no problem finishing every bite. I had the bone-in ribeye and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We ordered our favorite sides and finished dinner with the steakhouse cheesecake (she) and a special chocolate pot de crème (me). It was a splendid way to end our evening. And, Anne Marie made sure that we enjoyed every moment. She is the best! We are looking forward to our next celebration there, and vising Anne Marie again.”
“BEST tuna dumplings & extremely fresh sushi 🍣 love this little gem 💎”
“Best service and food I've had in a while. Everyone is soooo attentive. I'll definitely be back. Just went recently and the Christmas decor is amazing ambience and for pictures! Definitely recommend.”
“I've dined here almost weekly since moving to the area 6 months ago. The food here is exceptional, both lunch and dinner. The service and prices are good too. I've eaten sushi in Japan, Korea, NYC, SF and LA. So I know good sushi!”
“The hibachi was amazing! We also had sushi and fried calamari were scrumptious.”
“Great location in a lively, redeveloped section of Stamford. We had an event with a fixed price menu and each course was amazingly good. Come hungry, because they give you a lot of food. Apps, salad, pasta and main courses were all wonderful. Great service and a great view of the harbor. Not sure if it is open to the public, but if it is, check it out.”
“After a morning workout, I had a craving for sushi (what else is new) so after some research, my husband and I decided to try out Sushi x2 based off the good reviews. We got there pretty much right after they opened at 12, so it wasn't very busy at all with just one other table of diners. The interior of the restaurant wasn't particularly fancy or anything, and a bit dark for my liking, but that didn't really bother us. After reviewing the menu, we ended up ordering the yellowtail maki, and the dynamite and tiger rolls from their Special Rolls menu. The food was delicious! The tiger roll (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and avocado wrapped in soybean paper) was probably my fave, followed by the dynamite roll (pepper salmon, avocado, and spicy white tuna) and the yellowtail maki last. It was a great spot for a simple sushi lunch and we left both full and satisfied. I definitely want to try out some other sushi spots in the area, but if you're looking for a quick and yummy sushi spot in Stamford, give Sushi x2 a try!”
“Loooooove this place! Have been coming here for years now! large assortment of products, everything is fresh, girls are super friendly and nice! Highly recommended:)”
“tried it last night for the first time. everything was delicious. comfortable blue lit environment, good service and many menu options that i will return to try”
“Nice Sunday brunch. Friendly staff, good service and outdoor music.”
“Tremendous meal Wedge salad. Chicken parm. Penne vodka. All delicious. First time visitor. Expect to be back soon. Nice service. Thanks chef”
“Service was a little clunky. Food was delicious. Cocktails nice. Overall, a pleasant visit.”
“Date: 8/9/24 Wanted pasta and wanted to try something new. My friend and I ordered the linguine Fra Diavolo with sea food and the sauce was amazing! Sea food tasted fresh. Also ordered the hangar steak chimmichurra and it’s delish! ! The salad that comes with it was fresh and had strawberries and blueberries! So good. Great happy hour red sangria and super friendly staff. Had a Quattro leche cake slice. Who knew? I thought you stop at three! Caramel sauce and fluffy. Yum. Go! Oh and so reasonably priced for what you get with large open seating and good acoustics.”
“Why is Kiku sushi so much better than other places? Not sure but it just is. You would never suspect that this cozy restaurant in a strip mall would turn out such great sushi. Usually get take out but dining in is great too.”
“Delicious food truck in the heart of Downtown Stamford! Right on atlantic street it is a quick pick up spot. Order wam chicken over rice with a drink for a good price. 100% Halal too!! Highly recommend this truck.”
“No better place on a beautiful summer day than on the water at The Beer Garden. And we love playing here, great spot for music.”
“❤️❤️❤️ Tomato Tomato is my family’s go to restaurant. Their extensive menu accommodates everyone’s favorites. Food, service and atmosphere makes each time we go a pleasurable experience. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This place is a blast! Great food, great beers and drinks, awesome bands! It’s the place to be!”
“Absolutely loved this sushi place! The fish was incredibly fresh, and every bite melted in my mouth. The presentation was beautiful and the portions were generous. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. The ambiance was cozy and clean—perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. I highly recommend trying their signature rolls and sashimi. Will definitely be coming back!”

“I have to say that it is the best Dominican restaurant in the entire AREA, everyone is very friendly, especially the girls who serve. The girl at night Ester is very kind and they look for your return as they say in good Dominican… keep it up ♥️”
“I love coming here every so often! Their deli options are amazing for decent prices. The service is always kind and helpful. I wish they were open on the weekends too so I could visit more 😄”
“If you are looking for some great Guatemalan food this is the place to go in Stamford, CT. I tried their Taco Salad and the pupusas. I highly recommend both them because the salad was done to perfection. In a crusted tortilla bowl with grill chicken and the pupusas were just done well. I'm Salvadorean and this place make them very well. The way how the chicharron (pork) tasted; I have not had it before. I got a chance to meet the owner and the manager - they were very friendly. I had lunch and dinner with my family of 4; told the manager and owner we were from Long Island. I highly recommend there bread (pan dulce) because it's home made and fresh. The horchacha was great as well their Pantera Rosa, Piña Colada, and house margarita. The price was very reasonable for party of four. Anytime we travel to Connecticut we'll be looking forward to stopping again at Maya's for Food.”
“My favorite Polish deli in the area! My family has been coming here since I was very little, and the owner and employees who run this place are like family. Everyone is so kind, the food is always fresh, and there's always a wide variety of fresh food/deli as well as packaged snacks available. This is a must-stop for anyone looking for authentic Polish food; a very warm and welcoming environment to customers of all backgrounds. I will forever be coming to the European Deli ?”
“Huge place with ample parking.Quality of food can be better.Seems bit pricey as well compared to other similar quality spots
Parking: Large free parking lot”
“Awesome wings They have the best most reasonably priced wings”
“Great little hidden spot for authentic Peruvian food. The only downside is parking in that lot because it shares the lot with a ShopRite - which is usually mobbed.”
“Food is good and service can be a little wonky , but its still nice, especially in the winter when you can hang by the fire. Fish and chips and salads/appetizers are very good.”
“Good food Only time I’ll get a steak at a kosher place And since I’m kosher This is the only place I eat steak outside of home”
“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.”

“I love this place because of their variety anytime you ask for something they always have it the owner's very nice the food is delicious and the prices are ”
“Very good solid choice for a casual moderately priced dinner. A little on the loud side, and the AC didn't seem Like it was working.”
“I tried Bistek A Lo Pobre for the first time at this restaurant, and I must say I’m impressed! A hearty meal, perfectly cooked steak with sides that complement the flavors. Plus, they served me bread with a creamy dip as soon as I arrived, which was a nice touch. I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in Stamford!”
“Louie the bottle girl tonight made me the best Lychee Martini with Don Julio Blanco. I’m obsessed, best service and she knows how to make an amazing customized drink.”
“The food is super good, I had a small mistake in my order since I ordered at the other location. It's my first time buying here so I was frustrated because I couldn't go to their other location (they have a worker with white blonde hair who is super rude, I didn't like how she spoke) but there is another girl with black hair, light skin and skinny who is a sweetheart! She always spoke to me with respect and ordered me to place my order again, I felt bad because I didn't have cash to give her what she deserved tip!! but people like them are what they should have in restaurants”
“Big improvements in the menu and service over previous ownership. Food quality and a better selection of craft beers as well as a few cosmetic upgrades have made it more than a golfers hangout.”

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.”
“Greatest pizza by far in the Stamford region! I see A lot of complaints about rudeness! closest thing to NY Pizza and service! great food great people. Miss the cute Pizza Girl though she always made me smile! once again Good Food the margarita pizza my fav and the chicken salad LOVE IT!”
“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.”
“Went with my wife on Tuesday we love the Delicious fresh Mexican food, Frances was amazing she was on top of everything she was very friendly we didn’t know what to order she give us a recommendation on food was delicious also she recommended the piña colada was a good choice we will recommend Puerto Vallarta to our friends.”

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v”
“A lovely experience facilitated by Edwin and Saul my family enjoys their experiences there constantly and i will for the forseeable future patronize this location as my pizza standard in stamford
Dietary restrictions: A palateable selection of pizzas and salads that can still manages to leave a little something to offer to everyone.”
“Stopped by here on the way down from a work trip. Only a few customers in the place at the time but it was also early on a Friday. Was attended to quickly and the food came out fast. The pancakes and omelette I had were on point. I would come by again if I'm in the area.”
“Just went tonight and grabbed 2 chicken platters to go with my fiancé. The employees were wonderful. Beyond kind and personable. The food I don’t have words for. I didn’t take a photo due to being over excited but the portions are more than fair for what you pay. The hot sauce is VERY hot for me personally but I like it. The salata that comes with the entree is so fresh and tasty. The chicken is perfectly cooked - tender and seasoned deliciously. Even the rice is a masterpiece. We also highly recommend the pakora chips! They’re crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the outside, seasoned, and made fresh to order. We were even told by the staff that we were welcome to sit and make ourselves comfortable while we waited for the chips since they are made to order but our food was done so fast we barely had a chance to! We’re not done eating but we’ve already agreed this will be our Saturday night go to. For 2 people getting 2 platters and a side of pakora chips it was just $30. You’d spend more per person getting dinner from any other restaurant around.”
“The food was incredibly authentic, delicious, and truly satisfying. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service—the staff were exceptionally friendly, kind, and accommodating. Their warmth and attentiveness made the meal all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend!”
“Stopped in this morning and I was like oh smell me somthing good. Good food check, Jane the waitress is a darling check, nice little family time that is local check. Check this place out people and flapjacks are amazing they are basically like pancakes but the British invented them so they are more flat so people to know what to except. Donuts are local home made also and worth a try even if you don’t have a kid”
“Well worth the trip. Excellent banh mí sandwiches and delicious Vietnamese iced coffee.”
“Awesome place; fantabulous menu with creative presentation….. above all a very cordial group who serve with a smile. The creativity in the creation of the drinks is mind blowing… I would eat here every day …”
