    Receipt
    Michael F.

    They have an online ordering system here. Usually, the expectation is that mistakes will be minimized since you don't have to verbally give your order. At least that's the expectation. I ordered here the other day. I picked up my order, looked at the receipts to verify everything was correct and went home. Of course, once I got home and opened up the bags, my salad was incorrect. I ordered the tri-colored salad with mozzarella, roasted peppers, etc. What I got was the mixed greens salad. I called to ask them to give me at least half the price refunded since I wasn't driving back to switch it. The guy said, What do you want me to do? He claimed he'd notate my account with a future credit for a salad and didn't seem very apologetic. Almost as if to say, come back and bring back the salad and get a new one. The problem is the food is okay. Having an annoying experience like this means I'm not going back. There's enough middling pizza take out spots around here to move on and use them going forward. I was just really annoyed of the lack of attention to detail on such a simple task as packing the right salad in a takeout order. Lesson learned, always check your order before you leave the store. I guess I'm the fool for expecting accuracy when I place an order.

    Totally disappointing food tonight... won't be going back. Ordered chicken Picatta which is supposed to be egg battered And sautéed with capers... Theirs looked and tasted like frozen chicken that had been microwaved and thrown in the sauce... no browned edges and not a caper to be found... the side of pasta was swimming in spaghettiO colored sauce not a speck of oregano or any other Italian herb and was too acidic to eat... maybe they forgot to cook the sauce like they forgot the sprinkle Parmesan I asked for.. ashamed to be Italian right now

    Mario the Baker is a classic restaurant in Stamford that's been around forever. Anyone who is anyone knows the owners and can usually spot a friend or two when coming out to dinner here. The food here is good, not amazing but good food. I've had the Chicken Marsala, Scarpariello, Baked Ravioli, Fettuccini Alfredo and Stuffed Shells when it's a special. The Scarpariello is my absolute favorite italian dish and Mario's makes it just right. I usually ask for extra spicy because the sauce is amazing. The salads are good, small but good enough. Sometimes they drench your salad in too much dressing but no worries, just ask for it on the side. Get the garlic bread with your meal, it's great. Mario's also does take-out which is pretty much the same as in the restaurant. So if you've had a rough day and you don't want to dine out just get the take-out! Mario's is wheelchair accessible and family friendly. I wouldn't recommend coming between 4 and 6 as most family's come in around that time and it's super crowded and extra loud.

    White Clam Pizza -- A Must-Try Legend Many reviews…read moreconsistently rave that Frank Pepe's clam pie lives up to its reputation. The white clam pizza delivers a punch of clams, garlic, and cheese on that signature thin, char-charred New Haven-style crust -- garlicky, salty, and utterly memorable. It's the pie people seek out when they make a pilgrimage to Frank Pepe's, and some say it's the best pizza they've had in years. The clams are generous and fresh-tasting, the crust is crisp yet chewy, and every bite feels like a perfect balance of sea and oven fire. For seafood lovers and adventurous eaters, this is the pie to order -- bold, classic, and worth the hype. Margherita Pizza -- Simple, Fresh, and my son loved it. While the clam pizza steals a lot of the spotlight, the margherita and original tomato pies are also beloved. The margherita is beautifully simple: ripe tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil with that same irresistible coal-oven char on the crust. It's not as brash as the clam pie, but it's an excellent showcase of quality ingredients done right. Red-sauce traditionalists especially appreciate how Pepe's tomato-forward pies complement the zingier clam slice, making them great to share with a group

    Meh at best. Truly disappointing. Too much cheese on the plain cheese pie and the sauce was just…read moreok. Crust turned into a hard cracker. The tomato pie was complete bullshit; just an ordinary pizza without mozzarella and some Parmesan sprinkled on top. The sauce was cooked onto the crust and dry. A tomato pie is supposed to have a thick layer of tomato sauce that stands up on its own. And...WTF is up with the way these pies were cut? They took my $50 worth of pizza and hacked it up into strips & squares & bits & pieces. The way you cut a pizza shows respect for the pie. Pepe's failed miserably. No respect for somebody else's food. Look at the pictures...they don't lie. This pizzeria is a legend in its own mind, Frank Pepe; old? Yes! Reliable? Not even close!

The clams were fresh, the crust had that signature char and chew, and I didn't miss the tomato sauce for a second. Judging from nearby tables, though, the red pies are every bit as popular. We grabbed seats at the bar, and that turned out to be part of the fun. The bartender was fantastic and even shared the secret to a perfect Whiskey Sour: dry shake the whiskey, lemon juice, and egg white first to build that silky foam, then add ice and shake again. She also noted that aquafaba--the liquid from canned chickpeas--can create a similar effect for vegan or egg-free drinkers. The cocktail arrived beautifully presented with a real Luxardo cherry and was as good as any craft cocktail I've had - which is sayin' something LOL! The place was packed, the music was great, the energy was infectious, and it was obvious the locals genuinely love Sally's. That's always a good sign, and this place more than lived up to the hype.

The pizza portions and quality are excellent, but we would probably try a few different appetizers on the next visit. Favorite pie was the Calabrian Stinger, since it had a great spice kick!
