Specializing in prime cuts of meat and classic preparations, this restaurant combines warm, inviting ambiance with a menu full of flavors that promise both comfort and indulgence.

DeStefano's offers a well-curated selection of steaks that immediately stand out. The Porterhouse for Two is a signature dish designed to satisfy and impress, boasting tender, juicy meat with just the right char. The 12oz Filet Mignon, praised by guests as “like butter,” melts on the palate, enhanced perfectly by homemade sides like the Brussels sprouts with bacon and rich, velvety creamed spinach. For those seeking a classic starter, the DeStefano's Crab Cakes blend complex, tangy spices with sweet, tender lump crab meat—a harmonious balance of textures and flavors. Other popular appetizers include deliciously fresh Burrata Caprese and the indulgent Shrimp Cocktail, which feature generous, high-quality seafood.

Diners speak highly of the attentive, friendly service and the restaurant’s comfortable yet energetic atmosphere—lively enough to enjoy a celebratory dinner, but still intimate for a memorable night out. The occasional buzz of conversation only adds to the feeling of shared enjoyment and conviviality. Whether it’s a birthday dinner complete with an extra dessert surprise or a special date night, DeStefano's creates moments worth savoring.

The dessert menu deserves its own applause: from the tangy and bright Key Lime Pie to the decadently creamy Tiramisu Cake and the indulgent Crème Brulee Cheesecake, each dessert finishes the meal with elegance and flair.

A standout feature is the thoughtfully assembled wine list, showcasing Italian reds like the full-bodied Cusamano Nero d'Avola and the medium-bodied Castello D'Alba Chianti Classico. For those preferring wines by the glass, options such as a fruit-forward Montepulciano de Abruzzo and a smooth Malbec from Mendoza complement the robust flavors of the steak and savory appetizers splendidly.

Clients frequently return, as reflected in heartfelt reviews. Nicole Kunz recalls the filet mignon cooked to perfection paired with “homemade tasty Brussels and tiramisu,” summing it up with, “This place does it right.” M D (Lisa) celebrated a birthday here and emphasizes the unforgettable dining experience, waxing poetic about “martinis made to perfection” and dishes so delicious that photos were forgotten in the revelry.
