    Ordered chicken scarpiello for pick up on my lunch break. It doesn't come with soup nor salad and cost $25. My food was ready on time. The sauce was thick and buttery. The amount of chicken and mixed peppers were perfect, I'm greedy so I could have used a bigger side of fettuccine.

    Came across this Italian restaurant while visiting Stamford, looking for a fine dining atmosphere with affordable prices, near our hotel. We parked on a side street & braved the cold walk to the restaurant. Upon entering we were blasted with comforted heat & greeted by the seasoned & homely hostess, who sat us immediately. The atmosphere had a family air to it. Other diners appeared to be regulars & were enjoying their time chatting with the waiters & waitresses. The bar was visible & many were in their watching the games, joking around. Our hostess doubled as our waitress & was very patient with us as we looked over the extensive menus & took our time choosing. Our choices consisted of Fried Mozzarella for the app, Chicken Parmesan & Chicken Scarpiello for the entrée, both with salads, & Creme Brulee for dessert. The app was absolutely delicious! We had an in depth discussion on them. Landing on decision that they were freshly made in house & are not frozen. The shape of the fried mozzarella were various round shapes & the cheese was gooey, with a little cheese pull. I haven't had one like it anywhere else. The house salads were also cold, fresh & crisp, just how I like it. The portions were impressive. The Scarpiello had so much flavor. I found myself soaking up the sauce with the table bread. Which was our second basket since we were going to town on the dipping oil we concocted while reviewing the menu. Unfortunately, the Chicken Parm & creme brulee fell short for us. The breading & cook of the chicken were spot on, but the tomato sauce tasted like it was poured out of a can & no seasonings were added. Additionally, there was barely any cheese on the chicken. The dessert was lacking. The top was barely crusty & didn't have the cracking sound one hopes to hear from torched sugar. The creme had an odd texture & was a slightly gritty. This is one of my favorite desserts so I was disappointed. However, we did leave full & it didn't have much regret since the prices were decent.

    Pellicci's Ristorante is a historic Italian restaurant that opened in Stamford, Connecticut in 1947. It was founded by husband and wife Frank and Frances Pellicci. The origins of the restaurant go back to 1938 when Salvatore "Sal" Sullo opened up Sullo's Restaurant in Stanford's Italian West Side neighborhood. Sullo's specialized in coal-fired pizza and spaghetti. By 1946, Sullo moved his restaurant to a larger location across the street. A year later, Frank Pellicci and his business partner Stanley Ogara took over Sullo's. By 1950, the Pellicci family had become the sole owners of the restaurant and it officially became 'Pellicci's Ristorante'. Over the years, the Pellicci family expanded both the building and the menu. Several celebrities dined at Pellicci's over the years, including Walter Cronkite, Joe DiMaggio, Nancy Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Today Pellicci's is owned by Frank and Frances' daughters Toni Pellicci-Lupinacci, Frances Pellicci-Caminiti, and daughter-in-law Ann Pellicci, while several more family members work in the kitchen. It is the oldest family-owned restaurant in Stamford. I recently dined at Pellicci's with my wife's family. My wife grew up in Stamford and ate at Pellicci's several times with her family, but this was my first visit. From the bar, I ordered a "Wave Chaser IPA" by Montauk Brewing Company. It was piney, citrusy and refreshing. For appetizers, we ordered a plate of "Bruschetta Pellicci" for the table to share. It was served with the mozzarella melted: a nice touch! Pellicci's has some excellent pasta dishes! My son had Ravioli with Vodka Sauce, my wife had Lobster Ravioli, my sister-in-law had Penne ala Vodka, and my mother-in-law had Tortellini Pesto. Some of us were in the mood for pizza (which is unfortunately no longer cooked in a coal-fired oven). I ordered "The Amalfi" (red pie, mozzarella, rock shrimp, clams, bacon, garlic, basil, parsley, red pepper) while my father-in-law had "Il Bianco" (white pie, ricotta, parmigiana, mozzarella). Both pies were excellent! We had an excellent meal at Pellicci's and I look forward to returning in the future!

    If you are looking for an old school Italian american restaurant then this fits the bill. The calamari is a must order lightly breaded and fried a great appetizer. Clams casino were fine. Not outstanding but fine. Veal parm was nicely pounded and tasty. For desserts ordered the carrot cake and tiramisu. Tiramisu was adequate. I'd pass on the carrot cake since it was heavy and dense

    Settefrate Pizza (vegan - no cheese) The Settefrate Pizza

    Ordered the Settefrate pizza without cheese, lasagna and Rhode Island Fried Calamari. The restaurant called to confirm the order within a few minutes which is amazing service. The food arrived quickly and hot. The pizza was delicious, the calamari cooked to perfection and lasagna wowza! Not many places cook calamari correctly. Pellici's does it right! Definitely ordering again and again and again!.

The low light ambiance and music was definitely giving adults-only vibes. What I really liked was being able to talk and hear because the volume level of the music was just right. Our waiter was attentive and would check-in on us from time to time, ensuring our experience was the best. He had quite a friendly and genuine demeanor about him (sorry, I don't remember his name but he wore glasses and had dark hair). The margarita pizza, wine, and desserts (didn't have lava cake so I tried their chocolate mousse) were delightful to indulge. We also received a complimentary drink of choice on the house just because! I will definitely be coming back again and hope to bring other colleagues along for the Quartiere experience.

But when my entree came it was so disappointing. I ordered the hanger steak cook medium. It was cooked to temp but had to be the chewiest steak Ive ever had. 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.
