    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.

The steak knife wouldnt even cut through it. The knife basically ripped the steak apart. It also came with the largest broccolini I have ever seen. It was basically broccoli but ultimately was under cooked for how large the stalks were. I did try the desserts but they looked good.

    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

    **Mangement should take note**…read more I have been to the New Haven (original) and the Fairfield location many times.... The pizzas that I had in those locations have always been consistently excellent! BUT this Stamford location has never produced a good pizza for me. The tomato sauce is always very tart/bitter and the cook on the pie is not the same. I have never had a tasty pie at this location. Management definitely needs to do some Quality Control at this location!

We also had a house salad with onions, tomatoes, raw mushrooms, olives, shaved parm, and a ton of vinaigrette. For our table of 6, we shared the tomato sauce pie, New Haven original clam, and the garden special. The garden special was my favorite bite that day because of the mushrooms, peppers, onions, and broccolini. The original clam pizza was also good, and I tried it after reading some Yelp reviews, but next time, I'll know to order the garden special and try another specialty flavor. My friend recommended trying their locally made soda, so I got a Foxon Park cream soda. There are a few other flavors. Overall, a very pleasant lunch experience with excellent service!

The staff did offer us free appetizers to make up for the wait, however, and they were delicious--meatballs with red sauce (with red pepper flakes, just in case spice isn't your thing) and whipped ricotta. I ordered the white clam pie and it was very good (and enough fresh chopped garlic to keep the vampires away all night-lol). Everything was good, but the service was super slow, so I'm giving three stars.
