Italian food is comfort food; it's rich and flavorful, warm and hearty, and it's best enjoyed with friends and family. Pasta is food for the body and the soul. We are a family-owned business serving up homemade Italian cuisine to the Stamford community since 1983. Every single dish over the years has been not only authentic, scratch-made pasta, our homemade desserts by Chef Neil Vitiello, seafood, pizzas and more crafted from our family recipes, it's been cooked and served with love too. What's better than enjoying great food with live music? Join us every Tuesday night for Tuesday Night Live Jazz, featuring superb area musicians playing music from the Great American Songbook, pop and soft rock from the decades. Once a month we host an open mic/live karaoke night with Chris Coogan backing you on the keys! From our family to yours, we look forward to welcoming you soon.
