Ava was our server. She was amazing. Our food came out perfect. I had chicken sienna, Jim had veal parmigiana. We shared traditional fried calamari and a bowl of delicious New England clam chowder. Our three courses came out at perfect intervals allowing us to have time to enjoy each of them and not feel rushed. Thanks to all the staff!

Broiled seafood dish was overcooked and dry for two of us in our party of 4. Sea bass dish looked great that our friend ordered.

Seated very quickly a little delay get a server but once process started everything was perfect the rest of the way. Food was excellent. Negative don’t understand why soup add on so much vs just purchasing separately n entrees a little pricy but good portions

Great food , exceptional service . Also one of only a few restaurants on the island that doesn’t add a credit card fee . Blue Water is another restaurant and I believe is part of the group that Stefano’s is a part of . We visit LBI every Fall and always look forward to dining at Stefano’s

I have been a customer of Stefano's for over 10 years and it continues to get better with every visit - Jane and Stephen are fantastic owners. It was great to get one last dinner in before they close for the season. I am already looking forward to the 2027 dining season with them.
