NOT reliable. Bar was supposed to close at 10 and bartender did not want to serve us just after 9. She told me: “we are closing early because it was slow.” I wouldn’t recommend.

Waitress is useless. Asked about bottomless brunch then charged full prices for beers. Manager didn't help. Find another bottomless spot. Sad after being customers for 5 years.

It was freezing cold inside Bar Rosso on Saturday night. The four of us ate with our coats on the entire meal and we never warmed up. We sat by the kitchen in the corner and it was as if no heat was on in the restaurant. The food was delicious and the server was good, but the lack of heat made our time there uncomfortable. Turn up the heat on these freezing cold nights please.

Erika, Enzo and the entire staff provide an amazing dining experience. The owner, Robert, has put together a tremendous crew and should be commended. The best restaurant in Stamford for sure. Highly recommend!!

The food was not good. I could not even eat my short ribs which should be a very tasty dish. I left hungry . Will not be going back.

I’ll be the first to admit that Italian is usually not my go to, but it’s the safest for dinner with friends. Walking into Bar Rosso I didn’t know what to expect, but the place was packed from end to end. We started with burrata, Italian wings and the tuna tar tar. All were perfect. The wings were perfectly crispy and covered in Parmesan. The burrata was fresh and creamy. Finally the tuna tasted fresh and was gone in seconds. For my order I got the pappardelle with the short rib and it was delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked and coated with a meaty sauce. Absolutely loved our time here and will gladly come back. Really cute for a date night!

Quite frankly we were super excited to try this restaurant. We were meeting halfway with family from L.I. and read a ton of great reviews but our experience was just... far from great. We were celebrating our cousin's birthday and had the whole family together from all around. The appetizers were pretty good, entrees all around were a hit with the exception of some being under/over cooked, missing items and just too salty! So salty you couldn't get the flavor of the surrounding accompaniments. But you know what truly stands out in a restaurant? SERVICE! I am in the restaurant industry and food can be good, could be better or just amazing BUT if service doesn't stand right behind then there's very little to look back at. Our server greeted us ok, but lacked service all around. We were on the second floor with two or three other tables (so not busy which can make things slower sometimes on the servers) and it just took a long time to order drinks, get the drinks (two of them were not of our liking and asked to be modified and instead of taking them back and modifying them he told us he will bring what we asked to compliment the drinks... 20 min later we had not seen him still! The bass girl was so nice she took care of it after seeing we were not being helped.) He wasn't the kind to give suggestions or open to answers but rather just wanted to get the orders in and done! Again, at least another 20 min before we saw him again to ask for another round. And last but not least... we were celebrating a birthday! We asked for a candle yet the dessert came out pretty alone. All in all service was less than great and we got added 20% gratuity which... OK we understand how it works but at least work your magic with your tables and perhaps you can earn a little more but NO. Did the job at less than mediocre and expected a way out of line tip. Will probably be returning to the bar as the service there was great but not to dine with a big group or in general. Hope you all can work this out! Seems to be a good restaurant but service is just as important as food.

I normally don't have Italian. But I saw it instead of why not?The drinks were good. I would recommend The strawberry dackery and the cinnamon meal was really good.
This is one of my favorite spots in Stamford and I come here often. Food is great and always a good experience.

Cute restaurant in downtown Stamford with lots around. Cocktail menu was unique, with lots of fun options. I really enjoyed the Champagne Poetry drink. We shared mozzarella fritta and truffle fries as apps. The mozzarella bites didn't have a lot of flavor, but the spicy marinara helped. Truffle fries looked fresh and tasted good. The spaghetti was pretty tasty. Restaurant had a weird smell to it (like hard boiled eggs), but staff was friendly and attentive. Prices were reasonable as well. Would love to try their pasta flight if I visit in the future!

We’ve been at Bar Rosso maybe 20 times (specially for brunch) and everything’s perfect every single time. Best brunch in Stamford! I never leave reviews, only leaving this one cuz I saw they have 4.2 ⭐️ and that’s honestly ridiculous. It should be 6 ⭐️
The service is terrific here. Food is some of the best I ever had and it is always fresh. Servers and kitchen staff pay attention to all the small details. Their antipasto is wonderful and a great value for what you receive. The food is made with care and they pride themselves on presentation too!!! A+++ rating!!!
