The atmosphere in the is restaurant was nice and relaxing. The waiter at the bar was excellent. His customer service was top notch. I tired the penne alla vodka and it tasted wonderful. The noodles was very soft and the sauce had a lot of flavor. The bread 🍞 that comes with the meal was fresh and hot. The mussels was excellent too. I definitely would recommend this restaurant to friends and family. This is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been too.

My husband and I were in town visiting family, and it was recommended to visit Stephano's for some good Italian food! What a gem of a restaurant! From the time we entered until the time we left, the service was impeccable and very attentive. The food was made fresh and was delightful to the palette. The stuffed Sole was seasoned just right and cooked to a perfect temperature, and the Chicken Parmigiano, my husband, said was very tasty. Portions were large, and we ended up taking half of our meals home! We will be back when in the area again!

The food and wine are excellent and abundant at very reasonable prices. What knocks off some serious stars is the atmosphere. This is not the kind of place to go if you want to have a nice quiet dinner with someone. This is the site of the old Friendly's on Main Street in Fishkill and the atmosphere is, sadly, about the same. Very loud and very plain. There are no booths, only tables with wood floors that amplify the noise even worse. The decor inside is nothing special. If they spiffed up this place this would be a solid 5 star. No one at my table was too adventurous with their ordering, Chicken Francese and Eggplant Parmesan. Both dishes were excellent. All entrees come with pasta and a salad. The wine was $8/glass as of 4/14/23 for about 9 oz of wine. You can also order a bottle for the table picking from a much more abundant selection of options. The bread served beforehand was good though nothing special or unique but certainly decent. Their house dressing is delicious. The pasta and sauce is excellent. They truly know how to cook pasta al dente. Dessert was also very good. Service was a little on the slow side although they were very busy. Personally I'd rather have service that is a little slow than feeling rushed. My big problem with this restaurant is the atmosphere. This truly could be a fine dining experience with a serious makeover that also addressed the noise level.

Had an incredible meal at Stephano’s in Fishkill, NY—definitely a local gem worth checking out! We kicked things off with the Hot Antipasto for Two—clams, mussels, stuffed mushrooms, eggplant rollatini…the perfect start. For dinner, I went with the shrimp scampi and also tried the spaghetti & meatballs. Everything was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and the portions were more than generous. The best part? The prices were just as impressive as the food. And yes—that last picture is what I brought home. Couldn’t leave without taking the deliciousness with me! #Stephanos #FishkillEats #SupportLocal #ItalianFoodDoneRight ⸻ Want me to tailor it for Instagram too, or keep it Facebook-only?

my review is reguarding the man that answers the phone calls when you call the restaurant. he is repeatedly rude on the phone for no reason. i said hi how’re you and he said no reply to it just “what can i do for you” uh ok. i said for my order i placed online can i please just have plain pasta for it and he said no i can’t alter any doordash orders at all cant take away or add anything and just hung up on me when i was nice and everything that’s not how you handle phone calls from start to finish rude. could be nicer to reoccurring customers. when all i was trying to ask for was plain spaghetti instead of red sauce on it, because i ordered chicken marsala and want to eat the spaghetti with it…

Nice place great for families the dressing on the salads is worth it. Sounds funny but it was that good. It’s good Italian food. The antipastos are prob better than the mains but still really good o

My husband and I travel to Vermont and stop in Fishkill 5 times a year, we try out different restaurants. Tonight we ate at Stephanos, I ordered lasagna, I have never eaten lasagna that was presented with a plate of sauce and mozzarella cheese. I could not eat it! The waitress asked if I wanted to box it but what would I do with it? She took it away, never said anything but we received 25.oo off complimentary on the bill. Never so much if a acknowledgement.

Food portions are HUGE. My son had chicken Parmesan which could have fed 3 people. I had Chicken scarpiello which had a crazy amount of garlic that I could not eat it. Our waitress was great. On the way out the man at the podium said everything is made fresh and made to order. I wish I knew this earlier. I threw out a $30 plate of food. Atmosphere was loud for a week night. Service was very good. Probably we I'll not go back though.

The staff aren't very professional, and the host was very short and rude. The food is good, and the portions are huge, come hungry. Prices are fair and inline for the amount of food you get Its's loud in there and feels like you're sitting in a cafeteria. Maybe just get takeout and not deal with the noisy dining area??

We tried the calamari/fried shrimp (over cooked) combo and it was disappointing. Our entrees were shrimp scampi (too oily, overcooked, too much sauce in general); lasagna (resembled a large mound with so much cheese and sauce we didn’t bother even trying to get to the noodles); chicken parm (again too much sauce and did not taste very good); penne alla vodka (bland and tasteless). The only pro to this place are the enormous portions but does that really matter when the food was not good to begin with. We spent well over $200 and barely touched our food. I’m sorry to say that I would not recommend this place and hopefully they can turn this around.
