we have been going to Stefani’s since they opened. Started out I ordered a glass of wine that I am very familiar with tasted off. Server went and pored a new glass with the bottle. It still tasted wrong. I asked if that is the same bottle as the first glass. Was that a test? She got a new glass and it was fine. I ordered fish supposed to come with sauce server said no nuts no sauce. Then someone else brought sauce. Husband steak overcooked replaced steak but it took some time. I ate my dinner alone then watched him eat. Bill came and I asked if there was any compensation for all issues Server was annoyed and came back and said mgr adjusted bill. Mgr walked by and never said anything. Retro food was great mgmt questionable and server didn’t care

First class service and delicious food. Our server Payton was outstanding. It was our 51st anniversary dinner. The valet was attentive making sure he opened and close the car doors. Please give a try you will not be sorry.

We have dined here many times and the food is always wonderful. That was true this time as well, but I had made reservations WELL in advance and asked for a booth and when we arrived we were told they couldn't accommodate our request and put us on the end of a banquette with a party of at least 10 seated right next to us (sharing the banquette). The waiter was superb; I have NO complaints regarding him.

All the meals were delicious (veal chop, Dover sole, NY strips & shrimp scampi over pasta!!) Service was professional & timely! Value: a bit pricey at $100/ pp with only 2 apps, no wine, and 4 martinis for drinks with no desert.

Stefani's is my new favorite spot. This was my fourth visit since October 18th. We tried a few new items this time: the tuna crudo is amazing! The friend calamari is so light and fresh....the caper aioli is delicious! All our entrees were fantastic: chicken parmesan, short rib ravioli, ravioli pera (oh my gosh!!!), pasta aragosta, and my favorite: the seared tuna (extra rare is my favorite way). Our desserts were perfect to finish the meal: the cookie skillet was warm and gooey and delicious....the bread pudding was WOW! Mike was our server and there is no one better! We have been lucky enough to have him for each of our four visits. He is so attentive. He offers excellent suggestion when asked! He KNOWS the menu inside and out!
