Stefani's is my new favorite spot. This was my fourth visit since October 18th. We tried a few new items this time: the tuna crudo is amazing! The friend calamari is so light and fresh....the caper aioli is delicious! All our entrees were fantastic: chicken parmesan, short rib ravioli, ravioli pera (oh my gosh!!!), pasta aragosta, and my favorite: the seared tuna (extra rare is my favorite way). Our desserts were perfect to finish the meal: the cookie skillet was warm and gooey and delicious....the bread pudding was WOW! Mike was our server and there is no one better! We have been lucky enough to have him for each of our four visits. He is so attentive. He offers excellent suggestion when asked! He KNOWS the menu inside and out!

This is my favorite Bar Siena location. It is ideally located in the mall, so there is a lot of parking. The entire restaurant is spacious and comfortable. The food and drinks are wonderful. Tracy, who is one of the managers, made our group of four feel very welcome.

We left it up to our server to determine what/how much to feed a group of 6 with no dietary restrictions. Best decision we could have made! Every bite was excellent, and it was just the right amount of food.
