First time we visited this establishment and it was truly because the host was very very accommodating to our party of 5- 2 adults and 3 young kids. It’s always very hard to get good service and food with little ones in tow and this place did exactly that! We had FANTASTIC cocktails, amazing apps and above average pasta and food. Our waiter was very kind and apologized for not coming often which truly we couldn’t even tell because we were always offered different cocktail suggestions so that’s always good in our book! You will NOT regret coming here! Will definitely be back and tell everyone about it! Pardon our half eaten food…didn’t remember to take a picture till after we indulged in it

If you are in the Sheboygan area definitely try Trattoria Stefano - you will not be disappointed! The quality of the food is amazing - so hard to choose when everything sounds delicious! They have unique dishes - the freshest ingredients- and the chef hones his craft every year by going to Italy so you are getting authentic Italian food. The staff is very friendly, ambience is great. If only I lived closer this restaurant and his other two - Field to Fork and Il Ritrovo would be on weekly rotation! Be sure to visit the Slo Food grocery which is in the family of businesses- get a cappuccino and danish for breakfast, pick up ingredients for dinner and be sure to grab some cookies - the almond paste ones are my favorite!

It was ok. Little too snooty for us. They’re not building rockets.
Both sets of my great-grandparents lived in Sheboygan. Visiting over 40 years ago, the restaurant scene was quite different. Don't get me wrong, I love a good brat fry but absolutely the food scene that has developed in the last 15 years. My better half and I stopped in on Saturday night around 7:30 and stepped into a lively dining room. Service was casual yet attentive. We started off with the carpaccio. A substantial dish, I loved the richness of the beef paired with the peppery arugula. I would get it again in a heartbeat. For my entree, I opted for the ossobucco. When a long spoon is served alongside to help scoop out the bone marrow, you know its going to be rich. And it was...perfectly prepared veal shank braised in onion, leek and saffron. Served with a herbed risotto, it was a lot of food but absolutely delicious. The wine and cocktail list is solid. Overall, a very dining experience.

We went there on Saturday for the first time. The atmosphere of the restaurant was friendly and comfortable. Their service was great and our servers were nice and friendly. For the beginning, the server brought us a quarter of home baked sourdough which was so fresh. The combination of bread and olive oil was great and I couldn't stop eating it. For the appetizer, we ordered their special which was a sampler plate of seafoods, 2 oysters with spinach sauce, 2 crab cakes, and 4 cocktail shrimps. The oysters were good. The dipping sauce for the shrimp cocktail was spicy and sweet. It had interesting flavor. But the crab cakes were the star of the plate. They were so delicious. For drinks I ordered a Blood Orange Martini and my husband had a Paradise Lake. They were fun drinks and we enjoyed them. For the main course, my husband ordered the ravioli which was filled with gorgonzola, caramelized onion and walnut and sautéed in brown butter. It was delicious and had interesting mix of flavors in each bite. I ordered the sea food spaghetti which had shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari in tomato sauce. It had lots of s of big pieces of garlic, which was good that I could separate them. The pasta was tasty but it wasn't the top notch in my opinion. For the desert my husband ordered an Irish coffee and I had a piece of tiramisu. My husband said the Irish coffee had nice flavor and taste and enjoyed the tiramisu . But for the tiramisu had lots of coco powder. Overall it is a great place if you want to a nice date night in a friendly environment with tasty food. The reason I am giving them 4 stars is I had better fine dining Italian experience. While this place is a nice place to be considered, compare to those places it is not fair to give this place 5 starts.

We travel from Chicago to Sheboygan once or twice a year to visit Stefano, because of the quality of the food. the dishes are complex and delicious. The portions are more than ample. No shortcuts are taken and the food is carefully prepared. The preparation and selection of dishes is creative. There are interesting takes on traditional dishes and some that we have not seen before. Service and atmosphere is rather informal and we like that it is not pompous or pretentious. That is not to say that the servers are not knowledgeable and gracious. As on our previous visits, we were rewarded for the journey.

went there twice food is very expensive everything costs extra -- Ashed for some dipping sauce waiter said Seffano would frown on that --who the hell cares if Steffano would frown --I wanted dipping sauce -- also pasta is not cooked long enough for me and they are tight on the sauce they must think that sauce is gold
