Columbus Park Trattoria
A Celebration of traditional Italian dishes featuring our Popular In-House Hand Made Pasta
What began as a small family business has now grown to include three very successful restaurants in the Fairfield county area. The Marchetti – Tarantino family, who hail from Gravina in Puglia in southern Italy , started with their first restaurant, Maria’s Trattoria in Norwalk , in 1983. The dynasty continued with the much acclaimed Columbus Park Trattoria in Stamford in 1985, and Osteria Applausi in Old Greenwich and Tarantino Restaurant in Westport in 1994.
From the very beginning the ingredients were simple and fresh and that has remained the secret to their enormous success. At every Marchetti-Tarantino family restaurant you will find homemade-handmade pastas, the choicest cuts of meat and the freshest market fish. In addition all of our customers are lovingly treated as a true part of the family. Your dining experience will be enhanced by our professional wait staff and gifted chefs. With every visit you will be transported to enjoy the gastronomical delights of the family’s hometown and to the other beautiful regions of Italy . Please come and join and celebrate fine food and wine and the celebration of the culinary delights of life.
“…..enough luscious choices on the menu to be an incentive for a return visit”
-New York Times
Downtown Stamford is mostly sports bars, but it is improving, thanks in part to this trendy but comfy Italian trattoria where fantastic homemade ravioli, great osso buco, excellent braised rabbit and other wonderful dishes are ‘just like mama used to make’, and the good-natured staff makes you feel like family. It’s small, busy and noisy, but it sure has a lot of atmosphere. -Zagat Survey
