Stefano's Trattoria - Winter Springs

Stephanos Trattoria is a delightful family-run Italian restaurant that is managed by Alejandro, who goes above and beyond to guarantee excellent customer service. The food is not only delicious but also very affordable. The staff is highly professional, and the restaurant itself is impeccably clean. Whether you're looking for a lunch meeting, a group celebration, or a cozy dinner, you must visit this charming hidden gem in Tuskawilla.

This restaurant was absolutely the best place in this area. It's a hole in the wall in a mall in Oviedo. The smell of real Italian food met us when we went into the door. Yummmm! The service was great. The food, handmade, was so good! We tried the Chicken Marsala and Shrimp and linguini. OMG! The flavors! The bread was great, soft and crusty at the same time and the salad was wonderful! We will definitely come back to try more dishes. The menu has so many different dishes, all homemade. WOW! Also very favorable.

If I had dined in, this review would definitely be five stars. Unfortunately, my first experience with takeout was quite disappointing, so I would rate it around two stars. I really enjoy this restaurant when I eat there, so I’m trying to find a middle ground. They messed up my order, the food wasn’t hot, and the payment process took an eternity. There was also no butter or olive oil dip for the bread. Overall, it felt like a completely different experience compared to dining in. We only ordered entrees, so maybe getting pizza to go would be a better option in terms of food quality?

The menu features a variety of appetizers and salads, and we kicked off our meal with the Antipasto, which included a delicious assortment of Italian meats and cheeses, artichokes, and anchovies—a perfect start that was generous enough to share among 3-4 people. Dinner comes with your choice of soup or salad and fresh warm bread. My husband ordered the spaghetti with angel hair, while I enjoyed the Penne Vodka, both of which were fantastic! For dessert, we indulged in Cannoli. We were pleasantly surprised by the live piano music that plays every night from 5:30 PM. Just a heads-up: the restaurant is closed on Sundays. We will definitely be back!

We had our silver anniversary celebration here yesterday with friends and family, and it was FANTASTIC!
