Spazzio (Italian)
401 Shippan Avenue, Stamford CT, 203.324.1515
If you are looking for a comfortable place for your family to have a good meal, you can't beat Spazzio. Despite their rather obscure location and rather ordinary decoration, the service is top notch and their large menu has well prepared choices to please everyone. When in doubt, try one of the pasta bowls like the Fettuccini a la Mitty or the Capellini Poverino. They also own the hip Habana.
