Pito Sofrito Food Truck: Authentic Puerto Rican Fare in Stamford Restaurant Puerto Rican Latin American Stamford Food Truck Delicious Dives Comfort Food Kid Friendly Lunch Homepage Catering Peter Dunay May 23, 2017 For me, it's hard not to be attracted to the scent of frying empanadas and Puerto Rican music which is why I found myself gravitating towards Pito Sofrito today.

EDO: Korean Fare in Norwalk Restaurant Asian Norwalk korean Lunch Kid Friendly Korean Melissa Roberts March 25, 2012 In the window of Edo there’s a New York Times review from 2004 that touts the virtues of Edo’s sushi, but that’s not the reason why we came.

You'll be happy you did. Read More
