Had a reservation to sit at the bar and placed an appetizer order of the large meatball and Caesar salad. Meatball was good but the cheese filling promised was lackluster, and the temp of the meatball wasn't very warm. The Caesar salad was good. We also had table bread which came out hot and had a variety of butter, oil, and olive jam. I ordered the pasta alla vodka. It took 37 minutes to come out AFTER the appetizers were cleared. I can honestly say I have no idea why it took that long for two people's orders. It got to the point where I considered telling the bartender to cancel the order bc they obv hadn't even started our meals. Food when it came out finally was good - but the vodka sauce really wasn't. More like a creamy sauce that was very thin. Reminded me of cream of crab soup without the crab or old bay seasoning. Restaurant was nice, somewhat loud at times but being in the bar area we had a wall blocking out the sound. Overall it was good. Probably more of a 3-star experience but.

Stefanos is a luxurious little getaway hiding below the bowling alley here in Morgantown. It is…read moreeverything you expect in an elegant eatery. This place is low-key but definitely posh. Here you can observe some of the local elites, tossing their blonde fake tresses and drinking expensive champagne while making sure everyone sees their brand spanking new Louis Vuittons and huge bosoms, and then there is the much more subtle and respectable old money clientele with their exquisite tailoring, indulging in one of the lovely Cabernets served here. And the Cabernet is lovely. The escargot is glorious, it is served with a little toasty roll that you use to dip up that glorious garlic sauce in the serving dish. I had the dover sole, which was straight in from, you guessed it, Dover! ;' ) I had it with fresh broccolini and parmesan risotto. G had sea bass with lobster risotto. Both dishes were cooked beautifully, the fish is flaky and light and the risotto were perfect. Our server Cody, who is absolutely wonderful by the way, tried to tempt us with desserts (one of which was a caramel hot lava cake!) but we were so full from dinner that we had to decline. Next time perhaps. And there will be a next time. PS: this is not the sort of place where you're going to whip out your phone and start photographing everything. Hence the lack of photos.

I talked into the meatball hoagie with a house salad with the house dressing. Can't wait to eat.... The house salad and Italian bread with soft butter were outstanding. By the number of ingredients, that salad was made with a lot of love. Waiting on the meatball hoagie.... The mixed peppers on the meatball with a large mound of melted mozzarella cheese. The sandwich was large enough that it was a struggle to get my mouth around it to take a bite and that's a good thing! The meatballs and red sauce were as good as ever. My sister had never been to Muriale's so she became an instant fan. After 8 years away this meal was great. Don't ever change and keep it classy. Thank you!

She was so friendly and very attentive. The ambiance is also very nice! For drinks, I had the Espresso Martini and the Chocolate Old Fashioned. These were both delicious! The breadsticks were also very buttery and tasty. For an appetizer, we had the Bruschetta. It is a different take than normal bruschetta and I am not the biggest fan of it. The one complaint about the bruschetta is that it was extremely salty. This made it less enjoyable. For an entree, I had the Crispy Chicken Rigatoni. This was yummy, but I feel as though the vodka sauce was missing something. The Lobster Ravioli was also delicious and did not miss!

We got the salmon salad, chicken parm, and stuffed peppers. The latter was the only decent thing. The salmon on the salad was dry and burned to a crisp. Had to send it back. The chicken parm was slopped sideways onto my plate with the pasta... that was still dripping/pooling with water. The cheese was definitely not what I expected. It looked and tasted like a single slice of Kraft provolone. The pasta came with a salad that was served on a tiny bread plate, you know, one of those that holds a little roll when used properly. All in all, terrible value. Won't be going back. The photos say it all.

The two wood-fired pizzas were perfection - crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

I'm still thinking about it. As if that wasn't enough, we finished with imported gelato (strawberry and caramel), and it was the perfect sweet ending. Beyond the amazing food, the two young ladies working the front were so kind, welcoming, and helpful - it really made the whole experience even better. Do yourself a favor and don't sleep on this amazing little market & café. We will 100% be back!

Simply fantastic, with house-made pasta and real traditional dishes. I had the ricotta gnocchi with short rib ragu off the regular menu, and it's changed my life. Sooooo good... My wife had one of the nightly specials - shrimp and crab ravioli in a gruyère cheese cream sauce. She loved it. Finally, my mother-in-law had the bruco...perfect. You simply can't beat the food here, and you get a ton of it. Do not fill up on the bread before your entree arrives, because the portion sizes are HUGE. I got another full meal out of mine the next day, and it was just like raiding an Italian grandma's fridge. My wife got a two leftover meals from hers. I'm sure the apps and deserts are equally as good, but I can't see ordering one knowing that a giant plate of hot pasta is on the way. The wine list is very basic, and I honestly don't know what brand of red blend they brought me, but it was very good anyway. It's kind of quaint in the face of so many other places flexing huge lists while their food is boring. They also have a full bar and several specialty cocktails. My wife enjoyed her watermelon something-or-other. At the end of the meal they serve complimentary limoncello and the tiniest little almond cookies. Very nice. Okay, so why am I giving them a 4? Two reasons- location and service. If you don't already know where Cenacolo is located, good luck finding it. It's tucked away in the middle of a residential area in what looks like a mostly vacant mixed office and light industrial complex, and they share a long approach with a postal sorting facility. It's pretty well hidden, and GPS will have trouble getting you there. Once you do find it, the interior is very dated and well worn. It feels like a basement and could use a refresh. The second issue we had was slow service. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our drink order, but after that we spent a lot of time waiting for things and trying to get her attention. She also looked like she had just worked a double shift in the kitchen, with her all black outfit covered with stains and flour. It was a bit off-putting. Regardless, I'll be back again soon and often. This place is great, and the food far outweighs any negatives.

The salad was just way too much shredded lettuce and we weren't asked what kind of dressing we wanted, the waitress just brought some vinaigrette. The waitress kept telling us she had heart issues and that's why she's slow. Then she disappeared for awhile and when she reappeared, she told us she passed out in the kitchen. We got a cheese pizza, an Italian sausage hoagie with peppers, and fettuccini alfredo. The cheese pizza had almost no sauce and tasted like the Italian seasoning they sprinkled all over it and nothing else. The Italian sausage hoagie was a joke. Little tasteless gray balls of sausage and it was so sweet it tasted like they just poured sugar all over it instead of Parmesan. My kid liked the alfredo, but I didn't like the price for how much he got. Then at the end the waitress charged us for stuff we didn't order and the check just has numbers on it so without the menu in front of you it's hard to figure out where the error occurred.

Shortly after our waitress stopped by for drink orders and another large group of women were seated right next to us. We could barely hear each other. The entire rest of the room was empty! But they got seated less than 2 feet away. I know they were having a good time, us, not so much. Hostess tip: in this type of instance don't stack people on top of each other. There was plenty of space to spread us out. We ordered appetizers and dinners. appetizers were delicious: peel n eat shrimp, spinach artichoke dip and calamari (my grandson wanted it!) Dinners ordered: Beef Wellington, salmon (ordered blackened), Cajun chicken Alfredo, child's beef tips and chicken basket. All the dinners were great, as well as the asparagus, BUT, the salads greens were brown. I even pointed it out to the waitress, but they didn't seem very concerned. I even thought they might offer a small discount, it was that bad. For the five dinner with tip was over $225. You certainly can eat for less, beef Wellington alone was $50. All in all, beautiful setting, cozy dining room. Friendly staff. We will go back sometime.
