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.

Very good and inventive food. Unusual combinations. Noise level is very high. Hope they can find ways to improve it. Hard to have a conversation.

The host was extremely accommodating and was a delight. The cocktails were delicious! Our server was A+!!! Knowledgeable regarding the menu, gave us excellent recommendations and ensured we didn’t over do it with apps to ensure we had the best dining experience. The steak for 2 is better than Mastro’s. Deserts so tasty! Highly recommend!! A++++

Prime is one of my favorite restaurants in Stamford. My brother and I both had steak. The filet mignon and skirt steak were cooked perfectly. The sides were also excellent. I was disappointed with the martini. The glass wasn’t completely full after the pour and the waitress had to go back to the bartender to get more martini! It’s the food (and a good wine list) that keeps me coming back!

The food is good. It was cold in the restaurant. Everyone had on their coats out of necessity. Can’t imagine in the full-on winter with that door and seated nearby.
