Went to a celebration of life party there, and many of us were very disappointed with some of the food and beverages. Salad was doused with too much dressing and very soggy. Chicken was so dry most of us couldn’t eat it! The bartender was brand new and screwed up our drinks and didn’t know how to pour! I wasn’t shocked! I already had experienced issues there in the past with my own parties so it didn’t come as a huge surprise, but the sad part is I haven’t been there in over 10 years and there are still similar issues! You get charged top dollar for food and drinks and it’s definitely not worth it!!! Many of us discussed we would never return! We did not inform the host! We felt bad for them!!!

We went for our first anniversary because we had our rehearsal dinner catered by Stancato's. It was the first time either of us had been to the restaurant, though I've had food from their catering quite a few times.

Service was slow. Our server was very nice, but for example, I asked for a box for my food and she passed by me quite a few times before coming back to me ten minutes later and asking me if I was ready for my box now. We were seated by the bar, which wasn't her fault, and had to listen to people talking loudly throughout our date.

The food was very good, though my risotto was a bit underdone. It had a good taste to it. The rest of it was perfect. I recommend the chicken parmesan. Because of our anniversary, we were given a cannoli, which was wonderful.

The stall I went into for the ladies' room was tiny. I don't know if the other one was a handicapped stall, but it wasn't marked on the outside.

Stancato’s excels in delivering classic Italian comfort food that feels both homemade and restaurant-worthy. From chicken parmigiana and veal piccata to their signature eggplant rollatini, the flavors are robust, hearty, and often nostalgic. Guests frequently rave about their rich red sauces, creamy Alfredo, and slow-cooked meat dishes.

One highlight many visitors mention is the complimentary garlic rolls served with marinara – warm, fluffy, and addictively flavorful.

Standout dishes:

Chicken Marsala – perfectly tender with a well-balanced sauce

Lasagna – deeply layered and generously portioned

Cioppino (seafood stew) – for those wanting something more adventurous

They also offer a robust buffet, particularly popular during lunch and Sunday brunch. It includes pasta, pizza, salad, dessert, and rotating specialties. For around $12, it’s considered a solid value for both quality and quantity.

Room for improvement: Some guests noted inconsistencies in seasoning, with certain dishes being overly salty or arriving lukewarm. While not the norm, it’s a detail that, if addressed, could elevate the experience further.
The restaurant offers a thoughtfully curated wine list, with Italian and local selections. They even bottle their own label, which pairs nicely with their pasta dishes. Their bar also serves classic cocktails and after-dinner drinks like Amaretto and Sambuca.

Dessert is no afterthought here — the tiramisu, cannoli, and Italian cream cake are all house-made and generously portioned. Many opt to share one after a heavy meal or take it home for later.
Stancato’s shines when it comes to hospitality. The staff is warm, welcoming, and often remembered by name in reviews. Servers are attentive but not overbearing, and they’re well-versed in the menu.

Some reports from take-out customers mention occasional missing items or less-than-friendly interactions when correcting mistakes, but this seems to be more the exception than the rule.

The interior strikes a balance between traditional and cozy. Think Tuscan tones, brick walls, warm lighting, and classic Italian decor. It’s ideal for:

Date nights

Family dinners

Business luncheons

Large events or banquets (they have private rooms for up to 150 guests)

Noise levels are moderate, and the space accommodates both intimate meals and larger, lively groups.
For the portion sizes, food quality, and overall service, Stancato’s offers excellent value. With most entrées in the $14–$22 range and buffets around $11–$14, you walk away feeling well-fed and satisfied.

They also provide:

Take-out and curbside pickup

Catering for events

Private banquet rooms

Holiday buffets and seasonal specials

We ordered from Door Dash. We were given the wrong stuff. The food was mediocre. The sauce is very bland. Disappointed because I use to love this place!

First time there. The quality of food was extremely good for the prices. The server we had was rushing our ordering and there was no reason not busy. Didn't explain our options when ordering and generally acted like we were putting her out for having to serve us. With that said would go again but hope not to have her again.

Way overpriced for the quality of food. From the reviews I had much higher expectations. Took over an hour to get our food that ended up being cold and oily.
