Wonderful to eat Italian where the chef realizes that Italian food is more than garlic. Loved the food and will be back soon.

Prime is one of my favorite restaurants in Stamford. My brother and I both had steak. The filet mignon and skirt steak were cooked perfectly. The sides were also excellent. I was disappointed with the martini. The glass wasn’t completely full after the pour and the waitress had to go back to the bartender to get more martini! It’s the food (and a good wine list) that keeps me coming back!

Honestly, for the vibe, the food, and the value, I cannot believe this isn't the top of the list for high-end restaurants in the area. It's an absolute Gem. The owner walked around and checked in on every table—a super friendly fella. The only thing I'd add is that you have to vale your car, which if you're on a date is actually a huge net positive, which I was.
