Let me start with this we were at Fat Fish and saw Stephanie's sign. Not one time but two times we see the sign. We go to Google look at the pics, reviews and menu. Stephanie's is a place go and so freaking glad we did.One it's not a restaurant it's your kitchen and your dining room. Why I say that cause it's cozy yet elegant. You feel at home once you step in that's an awesome feeling and they nailed it.Stephanie's is a BYOB and our amazing server Ms. Michelle was tremendous. Warm bread comes to the table with butter and flavored olive oil. Ms. Stephanie's tells us the appetizer specials I guess. Wife ordered the fresh mozzarella with roasted peppers and tomatoes. Stuffed rice balls with beef and cheese in a vodka sauce also ordered.Ms. Michelle told us the specials which to our surprise we ordered from the special. Maryland blue crab stuffed ravioli in a vodka sauce is what my Wife ordered. I on the other hand ordered flounder stuffed with crab on sautéed spinach in a lemon sauce. Hot AMN that flounder dish had my complete focus. Seasoned perfect the flounder was the lemon sauce with a touch of fresh garlic. Man Chef you put your foot in that meal. Stuffed and happy my Wife and I were. Ms. Michelle awesome server Chef phenomenal Stephanie's is a World Class Italian Restaurant

I am very sorry to have to post this about this restaurant but I must. If management would have dealt with the issue properly I would have just took the bad food as an off night for the chef. We paid the check and left. The dishes we Ordered were literally inedible. My veal saltimboca was swimming in a brown sauce that looked very unappetizing. The veal was so tough I couldn't cut it,let alone chew it. We had the salmon oreganata with shrimp. Tasteless dish, also swimming in a brown sauce. Sent it back asked for check. I did not eat my veal and I was starving. I paid for this dish. After talking to manager lady who came to our table to see what the issue was. She never returned. Not good. First time there, last time also.. left this place hungry. Not acceptable. 20 years in business? How is this possible?

I have a dear friend (named Stephanie!) with an upcoming milestone birthday (cinquanta!) and figured a gift certificate from here would do the trick. (But first I'd need to do a bit of 'recon' myself to make sure this place was legit and I wasn't sending her to some crummy restaurant that might jeopardize our friendship, you know?) It's a relatively basic/standard menu for an Italian restaurant (plus a handful of specials) and we went with some pastas, seafood and pork chops. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. Lots of flavor. I'd ordered one of the specials - linguini in clam sauce - pasta cooked perfectly, plenty of sauce begging to be sopped up with a hunk of good bread. But the sauce was oddly darker than usual and I believe it was because of a weird black stuff all over the clams - which I'm guessing was fresh basil that had been stored in the fridge/freezer before being put to use. After a meal like this my grandparents would've said, "abbiocco" - that sleepy, contented feeling that comes after eating a big meal. (Yeah, it was that kind of delicious portion of hearty food.) The restaurant is warm, welcoming and those incredible smells coming from the kitchen were divine. (The back patio lighting while it snowed felt like a scene out of a Hallmark movie.) Our servers were super sweet (although they did go MIA for a long spell... maybe the restaurant starting to get busy was to blame). No gripes about the cost. BYO. Parking lot (in the back).Outdoor dining available (weather-permitting). I'm happy to report the treacherous journey to/from Stephanie's in the very first snowstorm of 2024 was worth the risk. (Okay, driving through Caldwell during the seasonal storm was rather lovely, to be honest.)
I went to Stephanie's for lunch recently for a special occasion and while I had a great experience several years back when I went for dinner, this time it was average at best. We both ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was overcooked and dry. The Caesar salad was heavily dressed albeit the dressing itself was decent. The soup which was served with the entrees was okay but it was lacking in flavor. For 2 lunch portions of chicken parm, a salad, and soup, $60 was quite pricey. The waitress was pleasant but it didn't make up for the quality of the food. Maybe it is because they don't do much of a lunch business (restaurant was empty) or it was an off-day but I was hoping for a better overall experience. Maybe i will try it again in the future in the hopes for a better experience.

We come here often for their consistent quality of dishes and service.Sometimes, the kitchen can not adjust preparation, such as searing scallops, instead of preparing them in sauce.Otherwise, it's a wonderful family place that gets busy.Reservations are suggested.There is plenty of parking in the back and on the street.

Fantastic dining experience! Our waiter was amazing and knowledgeable about the dishes. You could tell how much pride he took in the restaurant which is easy to understand why after having a full meal here. We ordered the fried zucchini as a starter. It came out piping hot and was excellent. So was the sauce that comes with it. For our entrees we got the spaghetti carbonara, although we substituted for rigatoni, and the Chicken Calabrese. Both came fresh out of the kitchen, were hot and delicious. The only thing I didn’t like is that they have carpeting, but I’ll get over that because the place is soooo good! I can’t wait to eat at Stephanie’s again in the near future. What a gem!
