Stefano's Adams — Restaurant in Town of Adams

I order from Stefano’s at least 2–3 times a month and have generally enjoyed supporting this local spot. However, after spending about $40 on dinner tonight and reflecting on the meals I’ve received just this week, I feel the need to share some honest feedback — especially because this is a town with limited dining options.

Tonight, we ordered chicken fingers and spaghetti noodles with Alfredo sauce, plus garlic knots. The Alfredo sauce was, without exaggeration, the worst I’ve ever tasted — and Alfredo is my absolute favorite dish. It had the taste and texture of straight heavy whipping cream. It was nearly inedible and actually made me gag. I figured I’d just enjoy the garlic knots instead, but they were so overcooked they were literally rock-hard.

The chicken fingers with Cattleman’s sauce were also off — it tasted like a fresh bottle of sauce hadn’t been mixed at all, leaving a slick, oily coating that just wasn’t appetizing.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t a one-time fluke. Earlier this week I ordered a full buffalo chicken sub. The tenders were absolutely drenched in sauce to the point that I had to take them out of the bread and eat them separately. I gave it another shot a few days later — same issue with the sauce, but worse: the bread was toasted until it was nearly black, and the cheese on top was burnt.

Something has clearly changed — perhaps a new, untrained employee in the kitchen? Regardless, the consistency and quality have really taken a hit. If this is how my meals have come out multiple times in just one week, I can only imagine how many others have had similar experiences.

Adams doesn’t have many food choices, and I want to keep giving my business to local spots. But the quality...

Went here for dinner on an early Tuesday night. I ordered the Chicken Parm special with Ziti and it’s $2 off. Also a side salad and slice of pizza from the case. Staff was very friendly and everything came out quick. The salad was fresh and pizza was good. The breaded chicken was very good as well. Unfortunately the ziti was not good, I actually wouldn’t eat it. As soon as I saw how watery the sauce was I knew it was suspicious. I would say the sauce is a generic / bulk mix and it tasted like it would belong on a fundraiser / budget spaghetti supper, certainly not homemade Italian quality. The Ziti also did not seem cooked all of the way through and was chewy. The pasta combo had smell to it like a hint of cleaner, almost like it was from the chlorine in the village water. Anyways, the prices I think were fair. I will return and would not hesitate to order anything else off of their menu as long as it was not In that...

Food was disappointing on every level. Bland, terribly executed crust that was insanely greasy. I genuinely have no idea how it could even be so greasy. The sauce was worse than the generic store brand pizza sauce you get in a can. The salad was truly pathetic as well. I did not interact with the staff much but overheard who I suspect was the manager/owner going off on an employee. I guess this is what you get from a small town pizza place that charges waaaay too much for their food. Inflated prices and egos. Easily the worst dining experience I had on my trip. Avoid at all...
