Ristorante Stefano

We tried two different radicchio starters. Excellent. We each chose a daily special for our mains. I had the sea bream, Pam had the beef cheek. Both were beautifully presented, full of interesting flavors, and delicious. Stefano himself was super nice and took time to chat with us about his life, his restaurant, and the neighborhood. After dinner, he even recommended a local bar to try. We went there and loved it. Our only hitch was for the wines by the glass. We prefer full-bodied reds, and Italian reds tend to be more medium bodied. Searching for a bolder red, Stefano's first recommendation was a promising 10-year old bottle. The wine had not turned, but it was brownish in color, and tasted like it had passed its peak. We asked for a different recommendation for our second glass. Stefano found an unusual bottle not normally sold by the glass. We both enjoyed it very much.All in all, a great dining experience.

Amazing Italian food, very well prepared and served. The lobster linguini was outstanding and fresh. Good list of wines and great service. I would go again.
