Everything was great we were seated right away, our server was on top of his game. And we went with the turkey special for Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint. The turkey was an ample amount, mashed potatoes and stuffing were phenomenal in the pie at the end was a large piece. The server was amazing very attentive and constantly checking on us. The restaurant is a little pricey but well worth it.

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!
