Restaurants by Cuisine
“Love Meat in Stamford ticked all the boxes for a great all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant. Two hours of grilled bbq meats along with banchan, stews, and side dishes. Love Meat offers two meal plans of AYCE. We opted for Set A at $42. The meal we chose offered enough variety of Korean side dishes, stews where we didn’t feel the need to go with the higher priced Set B meal option.At no time did we have to call a server to our table. They were pleasant and came to the table often to grill the meat, fill our water glasses, ask if we wanted more dishes.We like to wrap the meats inside the lettuce leaves which is about the only thing we had to ask for. Asked and received. The grill was replaced often, maybe 4 or 5 times. I enjoyed the SSAMJANG paste, salt and sesame oil/soy dipping sauce options on the meats that weren’t already marinated. When you want to indulge in flavorful Korean barbecue I highly recommend lovemeatstamford.What the 3 of us ordered:Thin sliced brisketMarinate beef short ribsMarinated been ribeye beefBerkshire pork bellySpicy pork short ribCorn-cheeseTeok-bokkiFried Dumplings – porkSteamed eggsTwo orders of Pork Kimchi StewThe Soju was $15 a bottle, we ordered an Strawberry and an Apple Mango. Soju price was higher than I’ve been charged in other Korean restaurants but perhaps the quality was better. I’m no Soju expert so really can’t say. We enjoyed it.The meal was both satisfying and a great way to celebrate my daughters upcoming birthday @tc_stark . My favorites were the marinated beef short ribs, ribeye, cheese corn and steamed egg. Although it was all good those were my standouts. We did not order any chicken which was also available at Set A, not fish on this option. Fish and more side dishes are offered on Set B. Something to note, there is no Wi-Fi available and the bar doesn’t open until after 3 or 4 so no cocktails until then. I’ll be back.”
“This was an absolutely lovely experience! We were served by the lovely Andres, and he paced the dinner well and made great recommendations. We enjoyed our meal very much. I highly recommend for a fine dining experience.”
“Step inside and be transported to a medieval stone castle! The stunning woodwork throughout the restaurant creates a truly immersive atmosphere. The waiters, attired in traditional folk costumes, provide exceptional service that elevates the entire dining experience.The food is a visual and gustatory delight. Beautifully presented dishes are not only seasoned and cooked to perfection but also heavenly tasting. Be sure to try the bread, baked by a baker trained overseas – it’s simply perfect!Pair your meal with a bottle of red wine from Kosovo. The restaurant’s selection complements the food perfectly.This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience. From the ambiance and service to the food and drinks, everything is top-notch.”

“Very friendly staff, assisted with my choice since it was my first time at establishment. I got the beef banh mi and let me tell you no regrets. The bread to meat to greenery ratio is amazing so good 10 out of 10 would recommend they have different spice levels which is a plus. definitely check them out.”
“Me and my friend arrived there 3 minutes before closing and Margarita was telling us that she will still take our order. That was soo sweet of her. We ordered two burritos, and a softdrink. We each paid 12-13$ for all of that food. The Chefs were also saying hi and were super happy to take our orders.Burritos were 10/10. fresh salad, fresh beans, fresh avocados, good spices, good sauces. Super warm and super filling. Definitely worth it and definitely will go again!!!!Dietary restrictions: I have a Cilantro allergy and it was no problem to change my order”
“The Pizza is soooo good!!!It's very unique and different from other pizza places. It's very customizable and the toppings are really good, especially the hot oil. The service is just amazing!”

“My wife and I just moved to downtown Stamford and were looking for a quick breakfast within walking distance from our new apartment. Came across Season's which is a quite small but quaint diner/restaurant. Liz our server was so nice and welcoming. Food was great and will be definitely going back again.”
“We absolutely LOVE flinders! They have the best appetizers, the nicest staff, and the best cocktails. We highly recommend Flinders Lane if you’re in the Connecticut area and looking for some great food with great atmosphere!”

“I drove down to Stamford the other night to go down to workout at lifetime fitness since I have a membership. I from New Jersey so I was delighted to see all of the restaurants and how well the area is kept clean. The parking is easy.The food at the Capital Grill was not bad at all. I had a new england clam chowder and a caesar salad. It wasn't the best thing I've ever had but it was nice to sit at the bar and be the only patron. The service was extremely masterful and I found myself receiving therapy from the bartender.I will absolutely be visiting again the next time I am at the gym!”
“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 can’t say enough about this place. The service is top notch, the food is incredible and the manager, Chris, fantastic! The menu is constantly changing, but you will never experience a bad dish. There are multiple locations, but Stamford is definitely the best!”
“As a hunter for a good breakfast sandwich… This is by far the best breakfast I have had in a long time in Stamford! The man made it from scratch and the dish was to die for! The cookie was also so delicious! I highly recommend coming here to their cafe.”
“We had the best time coming to T’s. Amazing food and incredible staff. They truly take care of their guests and make each customer feel like family - can’t say enough great things about this ”
“The food here is excellent, as well as the service. If there is any criticism, it was that it could be loud at times, and difficult to understand the conversation at your table.”
“My boyfriend and I stopped into Kouzina late one night. We were instantly greeted by Jesus. He had a beaming smile and his energy was so welcoming. As the night went on I watched him help almost every table in the restaurant. He politely thanked every guest as they left whether he helped their table or not. He was the life of the restaurant. Kouzina is very lucky to have an employee like him. He made our experience there very enjoyable and memorable! We’ll definitely be back!!”
“I’ve always walked past this place and today I decided to stop by with my partner for Happy Hour. It was one of the best experiences we have had in Stamford yet. The bartender, Branling, recommended food to try and he made us some of the best drinks I have had I had to order a couple more (old fashion and Italian 75) because he truly made them like no other. I can’t wait to come back and try their dinner menu and many more items because of the amazing experience I had this afternoon!”
“I like this place. I tried the organic chicken teriyaki, and the vegetables were so fresh and well prepared. Also loved the miso soup and green tea. It really is a pleasant environment.”
“Best Indian restaurant in Stamford, hands down. These guys serve the best South Indian food – makes me think of home! And impeccable service – they always take my requests to give me the exact kind food I am craving. Taste is as authentic as it gets. Today they made my day by serving me even though I showed up a little before they officially opened for the day. Thanks for accommodating me and making me feel so happy! :) I'm going to be a frequent visitor for sure.”
“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”
“DIG is Delicious! DIG in Bridgewater, NJ did an outstanding job providing fresh, yummy, and nutritious food today! Thank you soo much ! Our bellies are soo happy :) - Bohler Engineering, NJ”
“I’m in town for a business trip and was really craving Italian food! Saw the reviews for ZaZa! And let me tell you from the moment I walked in it was too class service. Water continuously filled never empty. I got the spaghetti and spicy meatball. And these I will dream about until I return! They were hands down some of the best meatballs I've ever tasted!!! And we got a pizza brought over by the owner. The place had a Sunday Italian family dinner feel not a stuffy restaurant feel at all! I cant wait to come back!”
“The food is absolutely the best. The people who work there are the best friendly. My son's loves the best from there. My favorite is the chicken Scorpiello omg so freaking good..”
“We dined in at Chico’s Cocina and had burritos. The space is bright with simple design and nice photography on the wall. Burritos were fresh and delicious!!! They also had homemade hot sauces and i recommend the mango sauce, it hot!! but awesome ! I will go back soon.”

24 Hour Restaurants
“The line was 6 people deep and I was in and out in 4 mins. A guy was manning 2 registers at the same time! Big vanilla chai latte, huge delicious donut for 6$ can't be beat. Wonderful place for regulars as I saw staff already having their daily orders memorized and treating every one very warmly.Vegetarian options: Option for veggie patty sandwhichParking: Smallish parking lot but I always find a spot”
“I wish that when you renovated glenbrook donut store that you would put a canvas over when you are ordering so you do not get soaking wet you redid your store but you forgot about the people driving up to order and get wet and also it seems like your afternoon or weekend people do not make a better sandwich than the daytime ones I think at your prices it should be done the same all the time for the prices you charge I expect to have a full sandwichVegetarian options: I have been coming there for years mostly with a very good experience but as I said your weekend people do not seem to make sandwiches the way daytime staff does and at your prices I expect to have a full sandwich not a half a full sandwich”
“I don't know why I'm reviewing this I don't have time give me caffeine and thank God they don't spell my name on the coffee cups last place I did that spelled it dawyvied when I gave them my real name try using goku before that and they couldn't even spell carrot correctly I got jreargorje”
“One of the best coffee. I was surprised the regular medium coffee tasted very good. Lately in other places it was watery as though they ran the coffee 2 times. This place was good”
“The only dunkin in Stamford that has Lemons ? for tea. Love it! Everyone doesn't run on Coffee. A bagel twist and a cup of mint tea with no sugar and two lemons. "Perfect Pair"”
“Quick service in spite of the large crowds. Clean restrooms when we were there. Crowds move fast so you can find a place to sit and eat before walking around Times Square nearby.”

“Food and service were great. Place was very busy on a Saturday night. Plenty of parking. We had calamari, burrata, and meatballs for appetizers; linguini, veal, chicken and gnocchi main course. Food was delicious. I will recommend going.At times, it got very noisy.”

Olio
“I have said it before and I will say it again. Olio is far superior than any other restaurant in the area. Everything from the Octopus and the yucca fries to the chicken parm and the pork chop are some of the best I have ever had. This restaurant always pushes the limits of innovation and always has fresh quality products (including the ingredients) on its menu. What puts this restaurant over the top is the home feel that you get from Steve the owner and chef. From the moment you walk in till the moment you walk out you feel like you are family.Highly highly recommended.”

Takeout Restaurants
“We love the chicken pesto panini is a must when we got out for competitions, and bacon ? egg ? and cheese on the roll, and the cheese and steak onions with jalapenos is delicious. ? and they support the community.Kid-friendliness: I have my five-year-old eating a sandwich and no problems.”
“Love the Service & Food, Butter Chicken Delish (rich and creamy), Lamb dishes great - My fav restaurant in Stamford Only thing Need to expand for more space.Parking: Easy drive up”
“This is the place to go if you want the best traditional french food in the area. We had five different entrees and including two appetizers which all were fantastic. I have been there quite a few times and never have been disappointed.”

“I really like the seamoss variety they have there. Seamoss holds so many health benefits because it has over 92 essential vitimans and minerals within in it naturally occuring form. This for me is better than a multi vitiman. Whether you just take a tablespoon with some water or tea, or throw it in your juices and smoothies, or have a sot of it. It give you such a good start to start or end your day the benefits are awesome. Love this stuff. Glad I can find it locally here in Stamford. Great informative staff, great product and many healthy options! Will be coming back as much as I can.Thank you.”

“Great coffee shop with authentic espresso and also fine American style coffee. An incredible selection of quality fresh pasteries and lots of comfortable space to sit and enjoy. They are very courteous and very good at handling the steady flow of customers.”
“This diner just happened to be close to me when i was hungry. I was blown away with how clean it was and the customer service was amazing! Never once was i looking for a server! I had a breakfast burrito that was really good! I will definitely be back soon!”
“I enjoyed a amazing dinner with outstanding service. The food was fresh, full of flavor, filling and plated to perfection. I had a guava margarita with a tagin rim that I wanted to drink by the gallon. The atmosphere is cozy yet spacious, romantic and luxurious. Even the bathroom is beautiful with plenty of mirrors. The service was quick, attentive and so friendly. Special thanks to the server who took our pictures and even put the lights back on for there photo corner. Order the grilled octopus!!!!!!!”
“Very good food and good Mexican flavor in the entire Stamfor area, they are the best. I come from Queens NY to eat with Jefes Tacos and their tacos are the best. I like it because the people are very friendly to serve me. I give them 10/10.”
“Is it an authentic Chicago dog? Nope. Bun needs poppy seeds, the meat must be Vienna beef, the dog is steamed not split and fried, the pickle should be a spear, and the relish should be electric green. But is it a good dog? Yep, quite tasty. And the fries are great.”
“Simply the best Italian food. Been going there for 27 years - consistent quality and service. The broccoli rabe is unbeatable. And the people who own the place are salt-of-the-earth. Great food, great service. And now, given Covid, it’s a great time to try it - support small business!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I was fortuitous to come here one evening as there was an open mic night. I ordered a few flights and sat at the bar, watching and patronizing the artists. It was a really fun evening. However, they did close surprisingly early. The kitchen also closed early. So my evening was cut short but I did enjoy being here.”
“We love 1234 Pizza and order from them on a weekly basis. Our favorites are the beef pepperoni pizza, the garlic knots, and the zeppolis! We always get delivery through them. The food always arrives quickly, and it’s fresh and hot. I also feel like they are more reasonably priced compared to some of the competition. Highly recommend!”
“Didn't know what to try so I got the donut holes so I could try a variety of flavors. They were all good to me. I had my eye on the jumbo coffee roll so I think that'll be my next victim, lol.”
“When I'm in town I always enjoy coming to donut delight vs Dunkin' Donuts. I prefer their bagel & cream cheese as well as their donuts. Things just taste more fresh Fast service. Clean establishment. Good coffee & pastries.”
“This is my go to donut shop whenever I want a good bow tie or honey dipped donuts. The chicken salad is one my favorites especially when made on a lightly toasted croissant. Friendly and attentive staff. Various locations with same quality of food and service.”
“Honestly has to be one of the best burger kings I’ve been to. Service has been exceptional every single time I’ve gone. Always clean. Staff are always friendly and ready to help.”
“Ugh, ice cream one of my many weaknesses, including Reese's Sundae Dashers, and Oreo Shakes! Carvel makes probably one of the tastiest softserves you can get period. The parking area is small, so if you're parking challenged or your worried about other parking challenged drivers, use the empty lot behind the dinner 100 feet to the left. If you've never had Carvel, all I can say is try it :)”
“We stopped here because DQ is having an offer for 0.85 small blizzards if you use their app between now and 9/28. Definitely check that out if you’re able! This DQ does not have food which is always a downer to see. I got the heath blizzard and my bf got the butterfinger. Both were good! They came out really quickly and were already semi starting to melt making me wonder how long they had been made. You could tell at least one of the guys working was over the deal which is kind of understandable but not great to show to customers. Overall it was a great cheap treat!”
“Dunkin’ Donuts is of course my top donut place across the entire globe. Their munchkins (small donut holes) are bursting with cream, frosting, glaze and other forms of deliciousness, their donuts are chewy and fluffy, their coffee is…well, decent, and their whipped cream is pretty nice, too.The service is okay - I wouldn’t say it’s the best. One of my servers couldn’t even speak English, and it was clear that they were not properly trained at all.The atmosphere is quite bright and cheery, however, in small spaces that they think are hidden from view are very dirty and grimy.Kid-friendliness: It’s basically paradise for kids - make sure to take kids of all ages to enjoy a divine donut or a magnificent munchkin.Parking: If you park nearby (a few minutes away), then it’s easy to bring your car over.”
“Rachel is such an amazing, I just love the way she treated her customers and chai latte and avocado toast here is always perfect. Always start my day with it thankyou guys for being in the heart of Stamford?”
“We come here often, probably too often. But the food is always consistent and the workers are extremely nice. Shout out to them. If there’s ever issues with the orders they’ll fix it promptly and without problem! Also their ice cream machine is always working! Win!”
“I stopped here to grab a spicy chicken sandwich a little before noon. It was o.k., although I have had better. It seemed a little dry and not very spicy/hot. The staff was cordial.The only real knock I experienced with this place was accessibility. Pulling in is a little awkward, but leaving was a hassle. It is located somewhat on West Main Street, and it is a busy road.Anyway, I was close to trying this place on a few other occasions but have always decided against it because of this Kentucky Fried Chicken's awkward location and accessibility. I don't know if I will return to this location.Bottom line is it is a KFC, and the food is typical of a KFC...Update (7/1/2021); This is one of the few locations I see that is still only charging $3.99 for the chicken sandwich while other locations are up to $4.99...”
“As long as you use their excellent app, then it is a fine fast food experience. The posted menu prices are outrageous. Think I read that Wendy's prices have gone up more than other fast food restaurants. At this location, the drive thru is ridiculously narrow. Clean and tidy and in a convenient location.”
“It's a good place to get drinks, and the people are mostly upbeat and friendlyVegetarian options: Apples and CarmelParking: There is plenty of parking in the back lot of u can't park on the main street”
“It is a nice and well maintained Popeye's with ample parking, sufficient handicap allocated spots and a drive through. The staff are friendly, helpful and take pride in the location. It is a great spot to grab a quick bite in the area. They also had the flounder fish sandwich at this location available in spicy. That was a plus in visiting the location.Parking: There is a large lot with many spots available with the handicap spots directly in front.Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of handicap spots in front and has easy access.”
“New favorite spot! The food was exceptional. Great ambiance. The drinks were also excellent. My party had cocktails as well as chicha morada. Absolutely delicious and the servings are good size for both food and cocktails. This is true authentic Peruvian food. It was truly like being back there. Even the ajis were incredible. We couldn’t get enough of everything we had. That’s how good this place is. My family never thought we’d have real Peruvian food outside of Peru and this place nailed it. Only issue I had was with service being a bit slow, however, it wouldn’t deter me from returning. I also think this is a new establishment and doesn’t have a ton of tables so it makes sense not to have too many servers. I absolutely recommend this restaurant and hope everyone out there makes a visit. You will not regret it. Prices are a little high but I’m a firm believer of quality over quantity. Worth every penny. Enjoy!Parking: Paid parking out front. There’s also free street parking and a lot to the far right side of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Could easily bring in a wheelchair. It’s spacious enough inside.”
“I can’t say enough about this place. The service is top notch, the food is incredible and the manager, Chris, fantastic! The menu is constantly changing, but you will never experience a bad dish. There are multiple locations, but Stamford is definitely the best!”
“We had the best time coming to T’s. Amazing food and incredible staff. They truly take care of their guests and make each customer feel like family - can’t say enough great things about this ”
Cheap Eats
“Great spot for South Indian cuisine. Would recommend trying if you are looking for a light breakfast.I tried the onion & chilli uttapam (rice pancakes) and the $5.5 Idlis (steamed rice dumplings), both come with a side of coconut chutney and sambhar (lentil soup).Pros:1) Competitive price2) Authenticity: As close as it can get to South Indian cuisine in America.3) Taste: Very goodCons:1) Located in the corner of the food court in the mall which makes it difficult to spot.Will try their lunch/dinner meal next which is for $18.99 and update the review. The items on the menu look great.Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian options”
“This restaurant never fails to impress. Constantly exceptional service and delicious food! They recently helped us surprise my sister on her birthday with incredible hospitality. Their thoughtful gestures and tasty menu make every visit a delight. Highly recommend for both their fantastic food and outstanding service?”
“Great little spot to grab some breakfast or lunch! Fresh made to order sandwiches & wraps, even the fries were on point! Always service with a smile when we have gone, it's now become our go to spot when visiting the area.”
“Wow- what delicious Mediterranean food!! The chicken shawarma is so tasty. Incredible flavor, the food all tastes super fresh and is so much great quality food for such a reasonable price. I needed something fast, and this was ready in minutes when I came to pick it up. Bravo!!!”
“Great bubble tea. Always difficult to order on the kiosk in terms of getting 2 flavors in your tea as a special blend. But staff are friendly, and tea was excellent. Tapioca bobas were fresh! Parking on the street downtown with meters. Would def return.”
“It's a great Sicilian slice just different than it used to be not as thick as before but still a great crust pomodoro sauce and nicely cheesed. Has a true Brooklyn sauce taste as it always has. What surprised me is the crust is now thinner square than typical Sicilian but has the chew and bottom of a Brooklyn Sicilian slice.Rivals Glenville Pizzeria for best Sicilian.”
“cute place to stop in for a treat! the strawberry cream cake was delicious and both of our drinks (taro milk tea and brown sugar milk tea) were great too. service was quick and friendly.”
“Great Burritos! I wouldn't recommend GrubHub to deliver unless you want your meal cold. After I warmed everything up, DELISH!!! Fantastic flavor in the Garlic Parm Burritto! Will be ordering again, directly FROM the restaurant.”
“What a great addition to the neighborhood! We've gotten take out a few times now - it's consistent and it's amazing! We have only tried the Hispanic food so far - I'm in love with the El Torito Steam Burrito. Staff is always friendly!”
“TODAY WE WENT TO CWISPY CHKN IN STAMFORD CT #foodlover #foodreview #review #ct #stamford #organic #chickenwe 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 the menu advertises for fish and chips and they do not sell that.”

“We had an excellent meal for 5 delivered. We will order again, for sure! Food was outstanding. Prices were excellent. And delivery was as promised and friendly.”
“Excellent food, almost always amazing service and at a reasonable price. They recently featured a muffaleta (sp?) that was really really tasty. Perhaps they will add it to their regular menu - I can sure hope.”
“The food here is excellent, as well as the service. If there is any criticism, it was that it could be loud at times, and difficult to understand the conversation at your table.”

“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 was fortuitous to come here one evening as there was an open mic night. I ordered a few flights and sat at the bar, watching and patronizing the artists. It was a really fun evening. However, they did close surprisingly early. The kitchen also closed early. So my evening was cut short but I did enjoy being here.”
“My boyfriend and I stopped into Kouzina late one night. We were instantly greeted by Jesus. He had a beaming smile and his energy was so welcoming. As the night went on I watched him help almost every table in the restaurant. He politely thanked every guest as they left whether he helped their table or not. He was the life of the restaurant. Kouzina is very lucky to have an employee like him. He made our experience there very enjoyable and memorable! We’ll definitely be back!!”
“Oh, Napoletana! I've been there a few times and I have to say, it's absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious, and the flavors are so authentic. Every dish I've tried has been a burst of flavor in my mouth. ??Not only is the food top-notch, but the service is also exceptional. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. They make you feel welcomed and ensure that you have a great dining experience.One thing I really appreciate about Napoletana is how clean and well-maintained the place is. It's evident that they take pride in their establishment and pay attention to every detail. It creates a pleasant and inviting atmosphere for guests.If you're looking for a restaurant with great food, delicious flavors, friendly service, and a clean environment, Napoletana is definitely the place to go! I highly recommend it. Enjoy your meal, Samuel! ?️?”
“This is a local Springdale, favorite, and a tasty little bistro. We love the creativity that the chefs have, and each time we go back we enjoy a different meal. The wait staff is fantastic. if you are on Hope Street and find yourself hungry, stop by have a drink enjoy.”
“Brought 2 friends here for lunch last week and the food, service, ambiance and fish quality were top notch. We ordered and share the 3-roll lunch special, pad see ew, sashimi plate and papaya salad. All fresh and delicious and it was plenty for the 3 of us. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back to try more of the Thai dishes.”
“I’ve always walked past this place and today I decided to stop by with my partner for Happy Hour. It was one of the best experiences we have had in Stamford yet. The bartender, Branling, recommended food to try and he made us some of the best drinks I have had I had to order a couple more (old fashion and Italian 75) because he truly made them like no other. I can’t wait to come back and try their dinner menu and many more items because of the amazing experience I had this afternoon!”

“I love this place. We order from here often and their tuna sandwich is my favorite. The food is just really good :) I haven’t tried one thing I didn’t like. Great place to walk to if you’re in the downtown area, OR, great place to order delivery!!!”
“So much tasty stuff packed into a small space! Great selection of Japanese and Korean produce, ingredients, and Japanese prepared foods (everything from sushi to egg salad sandwiches, and sweets). Highly recommend.”

“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”
“It’s not high end French. It’s all around great American. Very good food. Large portions. Very friendly atmosphere. My favs are the end cut prime rib and the Liguini with clams. Not on the same night. The specials are also great. Tonight I had Duck. Prices are very reasonable.”

“Wow!!! I just saw some YouTube reviews on this Noodle Shop chain and I find out that there's a location near my house in Stamford! I went there this past Friday night. I went about 6:30 PM and the place was hopping already. I didn't want to wait for a table so I took a chair at the bar. The bartender, Trevor, was eager to explain the dishes and ordering to me since this was my first time to an Asian noodle bar. He was a fantastic server.It was a toss up between Ramen and Pho, but this time I opted for the beef Ramen. Decided on the spicy dumplings for my appetizer. Both were phenomenal!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed both of these dishes. With the Ramen, the noodles were PERFECTLY al dente, so much so that I ordered a second helping of noodles to add to my Ramen. I also ordered a double order of the side Thai hot Chile's to add to my soup. (I'm a big spice fan.) Hot Sake is delicious as well.All in all, I loved this spot and will be coming back again, and again, and again!!!! It is that good!!! Run, don't walk to go and dine at the Mecha Noodle Shop! It is fantastic, and very reasonably priced!”
“I’m in town for a business trip and was really craving Italian food! Saw the reviews for ZaZa! And let me tell you from the moment I walked in it was too class service. Water continuously filled never empty. I got the spaghetti and spicy meatball. And these I will dream about until I return! They were hands down some of the best meatballs I've ever tasted!!! And we got a pizza brought over by the owner. The place had a Sunday Italian family dinner feel not a stuffy restaurant feel at all! I cant wait to come back!”

Pellicci's
“Had lunch with a buddy here recently. Old school place. Spots like this are a dying breed. We started with shrimp, scungilli, and the arugula salad. The shrimp was disappointing, I would not order again. Buddy had the lasagna which he destroyed, huge portion. I had the blacked salmon special which was very good, nice filet. The broccoli rabe was great, lots of garlic. Looking forward to my next visit.”
“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!”
“August 18, 2022 1st time at Trips and I thought the food was AMAZING , I should have ordered the Prime Rib, after I saw almost every table having it , and seeing friends of mine , their 3 children eating Prime Rib , I definitely know next time , but if you like chicken you won't be disappointed in the chicken francaise and their cheesecake super smooth.”

“I just went to get take out there. Sat in sushi bar and ordered other items while waiting. For take out, I ordered the imperial and sushi B..Supposed to come with 10 pieces of sushi.. however both only came with 8.Restaurant is expensive. So if you gonna charge this much. You should at least honor what you said you would do.”
“We met the owner when we visited this brewery, and he is a very nice guy. We bought a couple of beers and those were pretty good. It was really nice to visit and a great experience.”
“Wonderful service from the owner Iris and servers! A great range of gifts, plants and flowers beside getting coffee, tea, smoothies, salads, dessert (best flan!) ect Dominique”
“Decent ramen place. I eat a lot of spicy food, the ramen that I ordered wasn’t spicy at all.Good chicken bao portion.Parking: There’s paid street parking which is very limited. There’s plenty of paid parking available right behind the business.Walk through Bedford passage for convenient access.”
“Such good food and always freshly made! Bakery items are amazing, fresh juices as well.I just love their empanadas and chicharron as well, staff is friendly, the restaurant is always packed so I take out. Parking is alongside the building in the back.”
“The food was delicious but the service was slow. We had to wait 30 minutes for our food on a Saturday midafternoon (it was not busy) and the server never came by and provided an update.”
“Went there for first time 4 months ago and steph waited on us.I can honestly say she is perfect!!! Been hooked ever since I live in guildford originally from stamford I am there with Jenn at least once a week. The service is generally very good. But when steph waits on us it's better then excellent!!!Parking: I come for lunch the is generally not a problem parking”
“Placed a very last minute order for an executive lunch and was blown away by the quality of the sandwiches and the care taken to plate them for our gathering. Very communicative and over all wonderful!”
“This is one of my favorite places! Their sushi is absolutely amazing ... I've been going there for over 15 years and even got engaged 12 years ago, in the very booth we are tonight! ?”
“Ran in for a quick bite and left in awe! So authentic! There was so much to choose from and I ended having a lot! Everything was so good! The young lady that assisted us was awesome! She went over what everything was and took the time to heat things up for us! For the amount of food we ordered everything was $25! We will be making this a weekly stop!”
“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.”
“Alan was so great from the moment I sat down while I was waiting for the rest of my party. So friendly. Taking special care with my friends food since she was having tooth pain. He was the best!”
“Always have great food here. Lots of very healthy but delicious options as well as more comforting options. The fish is always fresh and cooked to perfection and I love having the julienne of vegetables - very tasty and again, healthy. My vegetarian friend loved her main course too. Service is warm and efficient.”

Kashi
“During my recent visit to Kashi during Stamford's restaurant week, I had an exceptional experience that stood out in every way. The moment we were seated, the service immediately set a high bar. Our server, whose name we regrettably didn't catch, was the highlight of our evening. He was not only remarkably kind but also infused our dining experience with a delightful sense of humor, making our time there truly enjoyable. His impeccable customer service and attention to detail were second to none, and he undoubtedly deserves recognition, if not a promotion, for his extraordinary efforts.The food was another major highlight of my group’s visit to Kashi. It arrived promptly, which was impressively quick, and the presentation was visually stunning, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The quality and flavor of the dishes we tried were outstanding, contributing to a memorable dining experience.Opting to dine at Kashi during restaurant week was part of my broader initiative to explore Stamford more thoroughly, as I often find myself dining in the city. This visit surprised me and exceeded my expectations, as there were other places where I was disappointed. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and the atmosphere has convinced me to add Kashi to my list of favorite restaurants and to recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality dining or a date night experience in Stamford.”
“Had a treat of a lunch here. Food was warm and fresh. I don’t do this much but I want to give a big shout out to my server Kelsey or should I say little moon. She had such a big and great smile I called her little moon and she must have blushed and laughed. My chow was a little late and she brought me a free refill on ginger ale, the little things can go a long way. Very kind and prompt person and made us feel comfortable and happy to be around her. Oh and she brought out the food so fast my fries had a crisp that was perfect. Thanks Kels or should I say little moon :)”
“I've been to The Americano, a new trendy eatery in downtown Stamford twice and thought it time to give this restaurant a review. Simply put, it's exceptional and thankfully, a big hit. The word of mouth has really helped since I frequently hear people talking about it. Our party of three dined on a Saturday night. Our server, I wish I knew his name, was polite, helpful, and efficient. When he brought the wrong drink (things happen) he quickly fixed the issue and was gracious throughout. We enjoyed the Burrata and Truffle Arancini as starters, and the Hangar Steak, Salmon, and Scallops with a side of truffle fries and a side of spinach. For dessert, the caramel bread pudding. For drinks, the raspberry thyme, margarita, and gimlet. Each and every item was exceptional! As a courtesy, the kind manager gave us free drink vouchers for a nightcap at the bar. The Americano is run incredibly well with a caring, knowledgeable staff and a cool hip ambiance with black, white, and red atmosphere. It's always crowded which is proof that the restaurant is being appreciated as one of the new Stamford hits of 2023 and beyond.”

Tutti Pazzi
“I can’t speak to the service or atmosphere because I ordered Uber Eats, but this is my go-to when I have a craving for steak. Their filet mignon is my favorite, and the sides are almost as good as the steak—I love the green beans, mashed potatoes, and the delicious gravy. Worth every penny to treat myself.”
“So being a Stamford native I remember well the novelty of drinking & eating at Tigin. But having children and the like it has been almost 15 years since I stepped foot inside. That changed this past Saturday. Tigin has aged very well. Like a fine wine it brought back a lot of memories for me. The fish & chips were fantastic. The pint was a perfect pour. And the staff just lovely as my British wife likes to say. Looking forward to a return much much sooner than 15 years.”
“Great vibe, massive patio right on the canal. Came several times and they always had a great band. Perfect for relaxing on the weekend with a group of friends. Can’t wait for the restaurant to open.”
“I love middle eastern food, and this place does not disappoint. The food is fantastic, I had the Lamb Shawarma, really good! The waitress was so friendly and attentive. I wish we had a place like this in my city...you should definitely try this place.Vegetarian options: You can have hummus or a salad or falafel...good vegetarian choices plus moreParking: It's a strip mall in a very busy intersection. You may have to park in adjacent lots or go around looking for a spot until one opens up.”
“Stopped for dinner on my way through town, had the Chaufas with chicken and dang! The service was prompt, the sauce was stellar, and the meal was more than I could finish (and I leave food on the plate maybe once per year or two). The fried rice, egg, and chicken were seasoned perfectly, and the right consistency. The fresh scallions and the dish of sauce added to the flavor. I just had water and the bill before tip was just over $20 but it's Greenwich. If I'm in the area again, I'll be back.”

The Wheel
“We stopped in for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. The restaurant had a large bar area along with two spacious dining areas. We started with an appetizer, the Wheel Fire Bread. It was a great start, smoked ricotta, hot honey and roasted almonds. It was delicious. For my entree I had the Wheelhouse burger which was absolutely delicious. A nice thick burger cooked a perfectly medium rare. My girlfriend ordered the Chilaquiles which were a large serving and were absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back to try other items on their brunch and dinner menus.”
“This was our first visit to Farmhouse at the Crossroads. We ate outside on their lovely patio. The food was superb, the service attentive and the overall experience was wonderful. One of our favorites of the evening was the carpresse salad with fresh burrata and delicious cucumber sorbet, although everything we ate was amazing!”

bartaco
“Amazing place - even more great food. Hits right on the spot. Staff is friendly and even vegetarian-friendly options on the menu. Ambience is just perfect. You can’t go wrong with Bartaco.Do not leave without trying their famous tacos.”
“I always love coming here. It’s pretty rare a sushi buffet has good quality sushi and sashimi but this place does and my son likes the more traditional options, which they also do well.”
“❤️❤️❤️ 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Stopped in for a quick bite and was very satisfied. Ordered chicken cutlet with fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers. Simple and perfect. Tried randomly while coming off the highway looking for a bite and was pleasantly surprised.”
“I happened to find this sushi restaurant.The staff was friendly and explained everything in detail.The sushi and miso soup were both delicious.My only regret is that it is very far from home.I will be back again.”
“Good location for a nice evening get together. The food was good and the service by Anthony was impressive despite his funny multinational accent … was funny and entertaining! The karaoke at the bar was another highlight of the night and they really tried their best to keep the crowd engaged and happy. Overall a good place to spend the time with friends and have fun.”

Kalo's Cafe
“Have only been here once but will come back. Decent Philly cheese steak at a reasonable price ($9 for a foot long that was way better than national chain restaurants). A bit slow to prepare , but the food doesn't come through a drive through and the steak was chopped and grilled in front of me to order, so that's to be expected. Clean interior with decent seating and a patio option if it's nice out.”
“The chicken street cart doner & the doner salad are both super delicious. So much flavor!The place is uniquely artistic and has a chill vibe.They have boardgames too which kept me entertained.”
“I have been on a biriyani mission. I lost my taste and smell during Covid and while they have come back a bit, they are all wrong and dull. I decided I needed some deeply flavorful comfort food. This is the best biryani I've come across on the delivery apps! The only thing that could be better would be if they offered a paneer biriyani. The other things I've gotten haven't been as good, but this is the most flavorful, boldest biriyani I've found. Thank you! Now if only I could figure out how to rate on Grubhub....”
“First bar I've been to in 3 years. Nice atmosphere, service, and I was amazed how the one bar tender managed the entire bar by herself. Job well done ? ?. Made drinks and handled the bar food orders coming out all in a timely manner.”
“Our first visit. Very good BBQ and the tuna patty with salad was fresh and tasty. The Q had good flavor and texture, though the pork ribs were mushy compared to Texas style. In the lower dining area and bar there is a decent view of a small river. They have only been open inside for two weeks.”

Peter Chang
“We have dined here a number of times. Tonight we sat and ordered food to go over a happy hour drink. Our server Breanne was fantastic. Super attentive and a real credit. NOT to be confused with PF Chang’s which is an inferior chain and not a patch. Strong Recommendations: crispy duck, scallion pancake, dry fried eggplant!”
“We l ok be the food in cantina .. particularly the shrimp cocktail ..always order it when we come .. main course are also great .. I usually order sea food .. service is prompt too”
“First of all, the food and presentation were fantastic. We had a nice salad, tasty & fresh. The medium rare steak was cooked to perfection and was the star of the show. The scoop of potato and broccoli and carrots enhanced the steak plate. For desert, there was a plate of five different cakes. This was so much food to eat, and once again, the servers magically appeared with togo containers. This has been one of the top places that we have ever eaten at. I highly recommend this place. Service & food are both excellent. We went on a Wednesday evening, it was busy but not bad. Parked in the parking garage next door. My only dismay was that I left my phone in the bathroom. Called them up, and they acted on it right away. I was put on hold while they retrived my phone. When they came back on with the good news, it was still there, and it was ready for me to pick it up. This place was so captivating that I forgot to take pictures.”

“Great place to go, the staff is professional and friendly. The wings, sliders and nachos are great here. Great place to dance and meet new people on a Saturday night.”
“This place should definitely be on your list for casual or business dining.Above the average quality, the food selection and space should serve many occasions. Try to avoid Friday and Saturday- can be fully booked. Otherwise, visit and enjoy.Vegetarian options: Some salads are on menu but you can make a custom order.Parking: The place is at the strip mall, so free safe parking is 24/7 there with no issues.”
“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.”

Warsaw Deli
“I must admit that the changes in the store are visible. In service but also in food. A larger number of products produced in Poland (not brands that are supposedly Polish, but I have never seen them there), a large selection of organic products and products for children. For the first time, cucumbers in a jar with little salt were still low in salt haha (meaning they didn't have time to pickle in the store). I keep my fingers crossed for further positive development of the store! Makes me want to come back.”
“What a special little place this is. I had their empanadas for breakfast, then Sancocho for lunch. I didn’t realize the Sancocho came with a whole other plate. Pretty nice surprise, I should have paid attention. Bringing a souvenir home in the form of food is my favorite though. I probably have quality foods for 2 days now!”
“I chose to come here because I was seeing a concert at the nearby park. I chose to come during happy hour, where many $12 food items were $9, and most drinks were $2 off. Now, the thing with the latter is that the drinks were $12 and up, so even with the discount, these were still not "cheap" BUT the quality of all the cocktails was above par. It's basically that the $14 cocktail is a $14 cocktail, not a $8 cocktail with inflation. Between my date and I we had 5 cocktails and all were impressive works of mixology, mostly a lot more complex and less sweet that most bars would serve. This is where someone can savor an adult beverage, not for those who like "margarita mix." The nachos were unlike any I had seen- a lot more of a dish than just a pile of ingredients on a plate. Absolutely delicious and innovative, the bean puree was outstanding and they provided more than enough chips. I'm about to go back into vegetarianism, and the organic chicken tacos were sort of a last hurrah, and possibly some of the best chicken tacos I've ever had. I literally sat quiet and savored the first few bites. I still prefer back-of-the-bodega/ food truck style Mexican food, but Tequila Escape was by far the best upscale Mexican food and drinking I have experienced in New England.”
“Grilled octopus is great. Customized the Chakos Seafood from fried to grilled and great. Service was terrible though. Probably Covid-19 related so I’ll give them a pass this time…”

“Probably the best Chinese take-out in the area, with caveats.I love their tasty recipes, but I'm disappointed that they change from visit to visit. Szechuan chicken and shrimp used to contain diced spicy dried peppers - now it doesn't. Why not? Last night's chicken curry was the best I've ever had. Rich and flavorful with lots of curry and just enough heat. Why isn't it always this good?Consistency is important. Customers find favorite menu items and expect them to be the same every time. Decide on recipes and stick to them, regardless of who's cooking on a particular night.You're doing great - keep it up!”
“This place was a surprise that hit the ballpark! I don’t do this often but I want to recognize my server, I don’t want to put her name in public but let’s just say it’s Sara with an S, one small issue was I did not notice a name tag. But with her service I got over that first let me tell you she had me try the French toast with strawberry and banana , I don’t like fruit much and i found out it was bomb . Also we did begin a bit shaky because Sara was doing a good job but seemed upset, I can’t go into personal details because I don’t know them. But I told her like I tell my daughter, chica wear your smile like it is your hottest clothing and make sure you show sass and confidence as a woman and men will respect you like a queen. She really took to my advice and she was smiling the entire time after. A small word of wisdom can really change a woman’s attitude and I was there for her. I hope management is good to this young lady and keeps giving her guidance and loving support as a community I did that. Keep coming back here for that French toast and I will keep making her smile, please tip your waitresses well people they work harder than most people. Also the table and the bathroom was spotless keep up the work owners.”
“Great food, I had the baked chicken dinner large and came with three sides, collar greens, candy yams & and never forget the Mac, the greens was awesome season to perfection, the chicken was cleaned very well, the Mac & cheese was not too oily, & the yams wasn't too sweet and syrupy it was just wright were I could still taste the yam, the only thing was the area, this place needs to be in the heavens instead it's in a back street hidden away, but I found it and it was delicious!!!”
“Amazing experience for my private event! I had a baby shower with close family and friends at Madonia yesterday and the entire staff made sure the event guest were taken care of and the food was excellent! Easy parking for event guest and very flexible with event time slots and menu options.”

“It is a nice and well maintained Popeye's with ample parking, sufficient handicap allocated spots and a drive through. The staff are friendly, helpful and take pride in the location. It is a great spot to grab a quick bite in the area. They also had the flounder fish sandwich at this location available in spicy. That was a plus in visiting the location.Parking: There is a large lot with many spots available with the handicap spots directly in front.Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of handicap spots in front and has easy access.”

“My favorite late night spot in Stamford!! The food is always fresh and delicious, I’ve never had a bad experience and I’ve been going since they first opened. The manager Farrid is awesome a real nice guy and is always pleasant to me whenever I stop by. The workers are very professional and very generous with their portions, they are always playing the best music and it’s always a great vibe when I walk in. I highly recommend this place if you need a new favorite restaurant this is the place!Vegetarian options: They have plenty of options and substitutes for your meals.”

The waiters, attired in traditional folk costumes, provide exceptional service that elevates the entire dining experience.The food is a visual and gustatory delight.

The restaurant’s selection complements the food perfectly.This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience. From the ambiance and service to the food and drinks, everything is top-notch.”
“Took myself on a solo night and glad I did! I got a boil of sausage, shrimp, mussels, and snow crab legs w/ shell special sauce (mild)....perfect balance of all the flavors, had a little kick (I'm not good with spice) that was a the perfect amount...spices, garlic, butter, lemon pepper, old bay mixes was great. Food was all cooked well, corn and potatoes added good substance. Fried oysters melt in your mouth as they should. Wings were good....could come just for those as a meal. Also great, very friendly service, seemed like a staff that worked well together, owner was welcoming and involved around the restaurant....definitely a place I will come back and bring friends.”

“My husband and I stopped in on our way to Mystic. The place was clean, the food was excellent and the bikini martini was fabulous made by our INCREDIBLE waiter, Ramon. He was attentive, considerate, helpful and charming. Highly recommend HIM, as well as The Stamford Diner! ?”
“Everything was 100, I recommend the place whenever I am in the area and the best thing about going is the most patient waitress in the place Nataly, ask for her, I promise you that you will not regret it.”
“I ordered the spicy egg Benedict and I would give it a 7. I was good but it wasn’t spicy and it needed a little more salt, but over all it was good. My husband got the chicken breast sandwich. The chicken it self was really good and flavorful but the sandwich as a whole was a 6. The sandwich was too dry. We had a good experience over all. Service was quick.”
“I pass my closet chipotle to come here. One of the workers Mrs Rhonda is AMAZING! She taught me about the rewards which I didn’t know about. Always welcomed me with a smile and even remember my favorite drink! She’s an amazing person to walk into after work! Love coming here just for her! Great person on your team. The others over low energy and she keeps the place alive! ??”
“Beautiful views. Surprisingly good food. Terrible service and it took a long time for someone to show up at our table to take the order, and again a kind wait to actually get the food. And yes, overpriced, you are paying for the views.Update: today the food was surprisingly good. Avoid street corn. Decent service.”
“The Pizza is soooo good!!!It's very unique and different from other pizza places. It's very customizable and the toppings are really good, especially the hot oil. The service is just amazing!”
“We go to Shah’s often! It’s one of my husbands favorite Halal place. Yesterday we got our usual mixed over rice. But we also got the spicy wings and a Philly cheesesteak and we loved both of them! The service was great!”
“Service was great when we ate at the restaurant and also in the past when placing takeout orders. The food was also very good, but prices seemed high for the amount of food received. If they lowered prices by a third they would have gotten 5 stars. If you have a small appetite this is a great place to eat.Kid-friendliness: Staff was very nice and accommodating.”
“Great food, I had the baked chicken dinner large and came with three sides, collar greens, candy yams & and never forget the Mac, the greens was awesome season to perfection, the chicken was cleaned very well, the Mac & cheese was not too oily, & the yams wasn't too sweet and syrupy it was just wright were I could still taste the yam, the only thing was the area, this place needs to be in the heavens instead it's in a back street hidden away, but I found it and it was delicious!!!”
“I work nearby so I often come here after my shift ends. Amazing, amazing food. I proposed myself one year ago to try every lomo saltado I could in Fairfield county, and Acuario has the best one by far, and believe me, I've tried more than 10 Peruvian places here.The drinks are tasty too. Cris is a funny, but fast bartender and makes a real good pisco sour.The ambience is more of a standard Latino place. Expect salsa music, lots of Spanish speaking people, soccer on the TVs, and lively weekends evenings with families everywhere. I wonder if they could play more boleros or more authentic Peruvian music though lol.I give service a 4/5 because not everyone is so attentive there, but it's minimal stuff... Like a waitress not checking if you need anything else after you finished eating.”
“The best thing about this place was the view! Beautiful outlook onto the lake with large windows facing the lake.The food and service was okThe main thing was you need CASH! We had to go back to the car to get more cash as we didn’t carry much on us as tourists.I even saw someone order something and then when they advised they only take cash the customer walked out as he had no cash.”
“Very friendly staff, assisted with my choice since it was my first time at establishment. I got the beef banh mi and let me tell you no regrets. The bread to meat to greenery ratio is amazing so good 10 out of 10 would recommend they have different spice levels which is a plus. definitely check them out.”

“New favorite spot! The food was exceptional. Great ambiance. The drinks were also excellent. My party had cocktails as well as chicha morada. Absolutely delicious and the servings are good size for both food and cocktails. This is true authentic Peruvian food. It was truly like being back there. Even the ajis were incredible. We couldn’t get enough of everything we had. That’s how good this place is. My family never thought we’d have real Peruvian food outside of Peru and this place nailed it. Only issue I had was with service being a bit slow, however, it wouldn’t deter me from returning. I also think this is a new establishment and doesn’t have a ton of tables so it makes sense not to have too many servers. I absolutely recommend this restaurant and hope everyone out there makes a visit. You will not regret it. Prices are a little high but I’m a firm believer of quality over quantity. Worth every penny. Enjoy!Parking: Paid parking out front. There’s also free street parking and a lot to the far right side of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Could easily bring in a wheelchair. It’s spacious enough inside.”
“I've been to The Americano, a new trendy eatery in downtown Stamford twice and thought it time to give this restaurant a review. Simply put, it's exceptional and thankfully, a big hit. The word of mouth has really helped since I frequently hear people talking about it. Our party of three dined on a Saturday night. Our server, I wish I knew his name, was polite, helpful, and efficient. When he brought the wrong drink (things happen) he quickly fixed the issue and was gracious throughout. We enjoyed the Burrata and Truffle Arancini as starters, and the Hangar Steak, Salmon, and Scallops with a side of truffle fries and a side of spinach. For dessert, the caramel bread pudding. For drinks, the raspberry thyme, margarita, and gimlet. Each and every item was exceptional! As a courtesy, the kind manager gave us free drink vouchers for a nightcap at the bar. The Americano is run incredibly well with a caring, knowledgeable staff and a cool hip ambiance with black, white, and red atmosphere. It's always crowded which is proof that the restaurant is being appreciated as one of the new Stamford hits of 2023 and beyond.”
“1. The food is delicious: the bread is toasted just right, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the vegetables are fresh. Full marks to the kitchen staff.2. The ordering service staff has a good attitude: order different bagels with vegetables, and get full marks if the meals you get are all correctly paired.3. Clean environment: Not only the tabletops are cleaned, but the seats are also wiped clean, and the toilets are also very clean. Also give full marks.4. The only drawback is that the restaurant is a bit small.”
“Good location for a nice evening get together. The food was good and the service by Anthony was impressive despite his funny multinational accent … was funny and entertaining! The karaoke at the bar was another highlight of the night and they really tried their best to keep the crowd engaged and happy. Overall a good place to spend the time with friends and have fun.”
“The food was amazing as usual. And the service is excellent!!Vegetarian options: There are pasta options, salads, and apps that are vegetarian. Also gluten-free optionsDietary restrictions: They can prepare things to specifications.Parking: They have a limited number of parking spaces. But the food is worth parking elsewhere and walking.”
