The food and desserts are absolutely delicious! The service is great as well, we were greeted with smiles. Throughout the entire dining experience staff was wonderful. Can’t wait to go again! I took pictures of all the food because the presentation was excellent!

This place is amazing! Excellent food and excellent service. Nadia was so accommodating very personable , and my colleagues and I absolutely loved everything we ordered. Seriously 10/10 recommend. We’ve already been back twice for lunch and have had great delicious food every time with outstanding portions! We even had the chance to meet the owners and the chef and his wife who are all truly wonderful! Too bad I’m moving soon but id drive an hour to eat here everyday if I could! Pictured: the chicken Marsala, the pesto chicken, the bolognese pasta, and the side salad (lunch menus).

We were very excited to try this new spot after hearing great reviews. Maybe it was an off day but we were extremely disappointed: we were the only patrons in the restaurant on a Saturday around 12pm and while we had prompt and friendly service, our food was served luke warm/ cold. They offered to remake it but we declined and got the food packed to go.

A lovely new addition to the Berks dining scene and we look forward to returning soon. We visited during the “soft open” phase, but even thought it was only their third or fourth night open, things went smoothly! From the moment we walked through the door, we were warmly welcomed.
For starters, they do offer a free basket of crusty bread with butter pats. For dinner, they have a large menu with lots of the standard familiar Italian offerings–think veal parm, steaks, gnocchi and other pastas, cheesy garlic bread–with a few more Americanish options like crab cakes and twice-baked potatoes. They do not skimp on the portions! Our dinners were served on massive hubcap-sized plates! It also seemed like a decent value compared to other fine dining-ish places in the area, as most of the entrees were under $30/plate. Many lovely touches.
I got the wine braised lamb and ravioli dish with a side of the roasted parm broccoli (yum). I really enjoyed the constituent parts of the dish separately (the lamb in particular was fall-off-the-bone and SO flavorful), I just wasn’t sure they worked well together–seemed like the ravioli needed something, maybe a different sauce. On the other hand, my partner got the veal francese and a twice-baked potato, which were excellent. And we finished up with a slice of the strawberry shortcake…absolutely divine. The dessert case is beautiful and seems to be a mix of more traditional European desserts (like strawberry napoleon) and American treats (lots of peanut butter options and cheesecakes, for example).
They are working on their liquor license so for now are BYOB. And for those who are picky (like my partner), they are a Coke establishment rather than Pepsi. 🙂
There are a few decor choices I think they could make to elevate the experience, as the menu and presentation of food give a fine dining/date night vibe, but the overall atmosphere is a little casual and sterile and it feels like an energy mismatch. The last couple restaurants in this space were fast-casual and they’ve clearly done a lot of work since to renovate the interior. Definitely some tablecloths would help, maybe some bistro lights. I liked the tea lights on the tables.
Anyway, I wish them the best and look forward to eating there again soon!

Great food, atmosphere, and waitresses! Accidentally made a wrong turn and was utilizing the parking lot as a turn around when we decided to eat here. Pleasantly surprised when we walked in and enjoyed every bite. Large portions come hungry! Left full, happy, and eager to come back! Great job to all!

“¡Ay Dios mío, cinco estrellas! This is the most authentic Italian spot in town, period. You can tell the owner is a master baker because that bread they bring out first? Increíble.
We couldn’t just leave without hitting the bakery counter, and let me tell you—the Strawberry Neapolitan, Cannoli, and Tiramisu are easily the best in the area. The service is so friendly and it has that warm, family atmosphere that makes you feel right at home, especially with Amy (the baker’s wife)—she is such a sweetheart!
Usually, my family and I have to drive all the way to NJ or NY for food and pastries this good, but not anymore. We are definitely coming back! Bendiciones!”

The food was absolutely delicious; the ravioli was so creamy and cheesy, the lab was TENDER, the green beans were a nice freshness and the focaccia was soft and garlicky! The service team was friendly and the pastry team was very informative and helped me choose…10/10 the dessert was an everything I wanted and the whole dinner was+ dessert was less than $50

We tried Stefano’s for the first time tonight, and we were very satisfied with the ambulance, the food, and the service. Our server Nadia was warm, efficient, and very attentive. We tried the tiramisu for dessert, which was delectable. We were also happy to find that they serve Coke products instead of Pepsi. All in all we had a lovely experience, and we will definitely be going back to Stefano’s!

New restaurant, we went last night and it was excellent. Authentic Italian food with a great menu; was hard to decide from so many tempting choices. Food was delicious. Service was wonderful. The atmosphere is very nice, suitable for a date night or for more casual too. We thought the menu prices were good – $21 for most dinner entrees and the portions were huge – easily enough for lunch the next day. And a kids menu as well that wasnt just your standard fried food. We were too stuffed for dessert but the options looked amazing!! We’ll definitely go back, and highly recommend checking out this new restaurant.
