Pleasant surprise that all dishes are vegan (not marked outside that this is a vegan place).

Stefano's is a fine vegan restaurant for a satisfying meal. We ordered two meals: a Chicken Parmigiana and Mushroom Bistecca. The Chicken Parm just fell flat. The pasta and sauce was serviceable, but the chicken was thin and tough. The Mushroom Bistecca was worth the order. The mushroom is moist and flavorful, and the sauce really lifts the dish up into something special. The Tiramisu was equally as impressive, using biscoff cookies instead of lady fingers, and dressed with a to-die-for cream. With all that being said, Stefano's mostly brings an exceptional experience and is worth the trip

With ordered a large array of appetizers to share and everyone agreed the entire meal was fantastic. Great staff and amazing food. We will definitely return. The only negative is the potential for having the direct sun in your face as
some chairs face the window and there is no way to block that ball of fire.

Funky atmosphere, great staff, delicious food. The New School salmon was unreal. The meatballs had a uniquely crunchy exterior that I’ve been dreaming about. Great spot for lunch or a light supper.

such a nice space, and the food was amazing. Benny (vegan) ham was just what I needed in the morning.

Good food and service
We tried
Meat balls and Arangini for appetizers
Then had lasagna and chick'n Parmesan for main
Cheese cake for dessert
Everything was good and fresh but could have used a bit more spices and herbs
We had to ask for chili oil to add some flavor to the food
Also the chick'n was good but a very thin piece like a cracker
Would like to try other food options

This place is fantastic! The staff were warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, aranchini balls, and meatballs for apps. The meatballs had a great texture and were so flavorful, the mozz sticks were on point and the rice balls were very tasty. We all really liked the lasagna. My daughter liked her chicken Parm minus the sauce and cheese 😂. My husband had the mushroom steak which was very good. I absolutely LOVED the bib salad! We actually had all this for lunch then CAME BACK the same day for more lasagna and salad, it was that good! The staff again are amazing! Can't say enough about this place! It's so nice to have vegan food that not just comfort, fried food. This was so fresh and delicious!!

Everything you'd want in a plant based diner. Lots of classics along with some new twists on delicious! You have to give this a try.

Myself and three friends enjoyed a delicious lunch here. Everything sounded so good so we shared an app, salad, and sandwich. Everything was tasty.

Was really excited to come here after trying one of their sandwiches at VegTO fest, and was not disappointed! Everything we had was a winner, my top picks are the lasagna and olive oil cake.
I tried the “salmon” dish and was mindblown at how realistic it was! I’d been following NewSchool Foods (the supplier of the salmon cut) for a while and was sooo happy to finally see it available. It was fun to try once but it was so realistic it actually spooked me a bit. If you don’t know about New School I highly recommend giving them a look, they use really interesting tech to create their product.
Stefano’s seems very connected to the vegan community which is another huge plus. Their deli cuts are from Nonno’s in Hamilton, who are also amazing.
Pretty small portions for the price, definitely need more than one thing to fill you as a meal. Best thing I tried was the french toast. Would come back again for that. Would not get the fried chicken sandwich again, very dry. Breakfast sandwich was meh. Chocolate milk not good but was also served it room temp so probably better cold. Brussels were good. Clean place, nice big windows with lots of sun.
FYI when they offer “sparkling or still” when you sit down - thats $9. But thankfully the server was nice to take the charge off the bill because we didn’t know that.

Went there today for Brunch with lowered expectations (based on my experiences at Gia) but I was pleasantly surprised at how many choices turned into good ones I'll be returning for. Stefano's Diner came from Stefano's Sandwiches and now that they use Nonno's Meats, they can offer more Sandwich options outside of what they have. Their Breakfast Sandwich was good (after I asked for a slice of cheese and had them remove the arugula chili mayo and avocado). Their Eggs Benny was so-so, needing more tang in their Hollandaise Sauce. The Italian Sub had good meat (From Nonno's Deli but honestly, drive to Hamilton and go directly to their store for more sub choices) needing to be adjusted to the toppings I like. The Smash Burger was the best burger I've had (just ask for no caramelized onions and no Russian Dressing). Just amazing! Come back just for this. The Crispy Maitake Mushroom Sandwich was mushy and tasted bland. A "Featured Special" that just wasn't. The Mac and Cheese (without Breadcrumbs and Chives) was nice. It reminded me of Mathilda's from years ago when it was made so well. Their Dessert Menu had Gia's Olive Oil cake. I avoided that like the plague. A very nice expansion that I hope will also expand their sandwich and deli options with Nonno's meats. The staff were wonderful. I am coming back here.
