Stefano's Pizzeria — Restaurant in Santa Monica

We both had ravioli (one cheese and one spinach). It takes about 10 minutes to cook which was promising (as opposed to having a bunch precooked and sitting around). They were good sized and we'll proportioned. We enjoyed both quite a bit and they were a good value for the money. The marinara sauce was fresh and tomato-ey and wasn't overdone but if you want more they are more than happy to give you more. The outdoor seating is nice and we didn't feel like we were sitting on top of our neighbors. It looked like there was some indoor seating as well but since the outdoors was shady we went there. The only issue was that the bread twist they served with the ravioli looked good but that's where it ended - even though it looked spiced it was tasteless and dry. Neither of us are more than one bite. It's not a sit down dining white tablecloth experience - more quick dining but for the value it was good. The pizza looked good too but again we can't...

I'm giving them a four star rating based on the sitting Arrangements and also for the pie dough. Overall it's a very good place to go to the serve you food very quickly.

If you have four or five people or more to sit and eat with you will be sitting outside on small tables. It would be awesome if they had different Arrangements. That means that I do go there a lot just for the convenience in...

Upd. My second time was a little better cause I got a slice of freshly baked bbq chicken pizza

It was around $5 . Thin crust, decent taste. Chicken was kinda dry, tasteless and not seasoned but overall with the rest of the ingredients it tasted decent. The dough was surprisingly sweet to the point where I felt like a was eating plain sweet donut with my pizza. If you are craving for a pizza but dont wanna eat the whole thing - this place might be an option for you

Pizza slice tasted old and was below average. Service is pretty bad as well. There is nothing to choose from - all baked pizzas were either 4 cheese or pepperoni. No chickinen bbq which I really wanted. Like the other guys said - this place is more a tourist trap than the...
