ZAZA ITALIAN GASTROBAR REVIEWS

I recently visited ZAZA and was blown away by their creative cocktails and attentive bartenders. The espresso martini was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—rich, perfectly balanced, and a real pick-me-up. Nikky and Dennis made each drink with skill and a friendly touch, and manager Francesco ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The truffle fries were crispy and flavorful, and the lamb chops were amazing! To finish, the chocolate lava cake was decadently rich and the ideal sweet ending. I’ll definitely be back for more delicious food and top-notch service.

Had an amazing dining experience at ZaZa! The food was absolutely delicious—authentic Italian flavors with fresh ingredients. But what truly made the night special was our server, Katy. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot on, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic meal. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend.

Very cute place. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. Our servers Angelo and Michael made me feel very welcomed and made my experience at this restaurant great. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends. Absolutely love this place.

CAFE SILVIUM REVIEWS

A great little old school Italian with an extensive menu. They are happy to accommodate with alterations for dietary restrictions or preferences, and the staff is super friendly. We’re so happy to have discovered this spot in Stamford.

Amazing food and really good vibes. Food service is pretty quick as well and food suggestions from servers are pretty spot on. Lobster Ravioli, Salmon Risotto, Penne Arrabbiata, tiramisu and chocolate lava cake all are amazing Definitely an amazing dining experience.

We had an amazing first experience at Cafe Silvium! Worth the wait on the weekend, the rigatoni was delicious. Great service too, we will be back.

TUTTI PAZZI & BAR REVIEWS

A bartender at one of our regular spots told us this place had good food so we had to try it. The food is great. They put real effort into balancing their flavors and textures. We had the gluten free meat lovers pizza and it just hit different. Familiar flavors yet done so well. The gin and tonic was potent like it should be, the staff were great, the nachos were made - not from a bag, the pasta was delicious.

The sautéed calamari is fantastic, they incorporate farro, adds texture and complexity… wow! The eggplant tower… sauce like grandma makes it…fresh sauce…yummy stringy mozzarella! Carlos the bar tender is a rockstar! … Side note… in the background Emily is working polishing glasses, greeting people. They get it !!!.

Amazing experience! We placed a large togo order on short notice for a client meeting and everything exceeded expectations. Food was great and packaged neatly. Highly recommend for catering or group orders!!.
