Stefano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in East Brunswick Township

Stefano’s is fantastic! Great food! Great prices! Great portions! Items Ordered: -Fried Calamari -Jame’s Italian Garden Salad. I asked for Balsamic Vinaigrette. -Chicken Murphy w/ Spaghetti. Served w/ small salad w/ choice of dressing (Creamy Italian) & bread. -Veal Marsala w/ Linguine. Served w/ small salad &w/ choice of dressing (Caesar) & bread. -2 orders of Garlic Bread -Salami, Ham, & Provolone Sub w/ Extra Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Salt, Pepper, Oregano, & Oil & Vinegar. All subs are 9 inches. -French Fries

Pros: Very friendly when I called to place the order Great prices. The Calamari is a large he enough portion to have as a meal. It is served w/ a nice, sweet red sauce. The Ham, Salami, & Provolone Sub was perfect. The bread was crispy. The sun was stuffed w/ cold cuts and flavor. They make a great sub. The Jame’s Salad was really fresh and enough for 2-3 portions. It was hard to stop eating! The Chicken Murphy has tender chicken w/ the perfect amount of sauce. The Veal Marsala is light and tender w/ good, home style flavor. Each entree portion is enough for 2-3 servings. Fries are your standard crinkle cut fries, but I really like them.

Cons: I wish the subs were bigger b/c they are delicious and I cannot stop...

My coworker and I ordered two roasted veggie paninis with mozzarella cheese on them. The description sounded great, we were starving and excited for our meal. We work less than two minutes from the pizzeria, and the delivery took an hour and a half. I mean, live and learn. Don't order delivery from Stefano's again. No big deal. I wouldn't even write a review if it was just a slow delivery. The meal we got was just...absurd. I wish I had taken a picture but I was so incredibly disappointed that it escaped me to do so. There were very little vegetables on the bread, they were slimy and under-cooked, there were about ten button mushroom slices when the menu stated marinated portobellos on the sandwich, the smallest amount of shredded mozz cheese possible, no balsamic drizzle at all, and all on two halves of hot PITA BREAD which just unfolded when you picked it up. I wouldn't pay any more for this if I saw it. Literally the most disappointing meal in my life. I made myself eat it because I paid the $9 for it. Pickles were good. Chips in a bag were fine. But the actual meal itself that had to be prepared was awful. Someone who doesn't care about their job made this meal. I will never order anything from here again. Plus, the staff is SO...

Finally got around to trying this place and I was pleasantly surprised. My rating is currently based on my one recent experience - which was to order the Monday Pizza Special. You call in between 6pm and 8pm - and whatever time you call is the price you pay for a large plain pizza - great deal.

What surprised me was that it was actually a really good plain pie! The sauce in particular was great because it wasn't sweet like some places - and I appreciated that. The flavor was perfect. From the looks of the pie - it's a standard, basic plain pie. For the Monday special price - it's an excellent deal - and I bet they are super busy on Mondays.

That being said - even when they're busy, the people here are patient and courteous.

I've seen pictures of their sandwiches and salads and they look really good - so I'm hoping to try some other menu items soon.

Overall, I was really happy with my recent experience, and I definitely look forward to trying...
