Top rated restaurant in Morgantown and has better food than most 4 stars that I frequent in Pittsburgh.

Stopped here for dinner while in the area. We have tried to book a reservation here and struggled - until we booked on a week night. 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. read more

Stefanos is a luxurious little getaway hiding below the bowling alley here in Morgantown. It is everything 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. read more

3 star food - and that is being generous - 5 star prices. $42 buys you a 6 ounce piece of salmon, at least it was a better grade of salmon, and green beans.. you can't put a little pasta or some 'effing rice on the plate. was tasteless. It's obvious this place is not being kept alive by repeat customers.retirement read more

Stefano's is a hidden gem tucked beneath the bowling alley. The atmosphere is nice, though you might occasionally hear the bowling balls. We enjoyed the food. The ribeye was perfectly cooked to my medium rare preference and very good. The dessert selection was impressive, The service was OK it's below what I would expect from my fine dining experiences. I will still be back to bring my husband too. My son and I went there after moving him into his dorm. read more

It was average overall. Average customer service. Average food. Average vibes. That said, there was one waiter/bartender (nick) who was very attentive and truly incredible. But overall, this was not an experience I'm eager to repeat. The bread service was tasty. The French onion soup? Hard pass. The veal Milanese was good- not great, but definitely good. The salad on top was great. I probably wouldn't come back, but it's not out of the question given the lack of good options in the area. So maybe relatively speaking, it was a 5 stars dinner lol read more

Stefanos Resturaunt - Prices. A bit high for what the experience actually was - Italian Near Me - Morgantown, West Virginia

I dined here two nights in a row. The first visit I sat at the bar with Mike who was phenomenal and the second visit in the main dining room with Lydian was also equally as exceptional. BREAD SERVICE Hot dinner rolls and breadsticks served with soft whipped butter, olive tapenade and olive oil and balsamic vinegar *I loved the bread and options, went through two baskets both nights STEFANO'S CRABMEAT $17 Tarragon White Balsamic Vinaigrette, Arugula and Lemon *ginormous chunks of crab meat is a light vinaigrette dipping sauce, great starter STEFANO'S WEDGE $10 Baby Iceberg Lettuce, Roma Tomatoes, Olive Tapenade, Pancetta and Gorgonzola Cheese Finished with our House Blue Cheese Dressing and Balsamic Reduction. *realized after the fact that the pancetta was missing from the salad but overall a solid wedge SEAFOOD FRA DIAVOLO $36 Fresh blue crab, lobster, shrimp and scallops a spicy tomato and saffron sauce served over handmade tagiatelle. *large plump scallops that still had some sand in it, shrimp was overcooked and chewy, I also found the sauce to be much too spicy for me so it was difficult for me to finish, handmade pasta was soft and silky PROSCUITTO WRAPPED CHILEAN SEA BASS $40 Proscuitto wrapped sea bass over risotto with haricot verts and charred onions *sea bass was nicely cooked, the proscuitto didn't really add much to the fish, the risotto was delicious but I was very full from eating too much bread PECAN BALL $10 They have an impressive dessert tray and I picked the giant vanilla ice cream ball rolled in caramelized pecans and drizzled with caramel or chocolate syrup. I went with caramel but I feel like it shouldn't be an option it should just come with both syrups. SERVICE Mike was very attentive the first night I dined at the bar and Lydian split all the dishes for the two of us for dinner in the main dining room the second night which I really appreciated. read more

Stefano's was the perfect place to go for my boyfriend and I's anniversary. It is probably the nicest restaurant in Morgantown that I was able to find and the atmosphere was very romantic. It is right below a bowling alley and I thought we would hear people above us, but I didn't at all. The service was great, our server checked up on us often and was a nice kid. The food was fantastic. The bread to start was amazing. It was so warm and had the perfect flaky salt on the outside. I got the Chilean Seabass with Lobster and a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was decent, and came in a crunchy cheese bowl. The Chilean Seabass was cooked to perfection and the lobster part was a risotto with asparagus and was my favorite part of the dish. I definitely recommend getting it!! The blueberry mule was very good as well. Will definitely be back! read more

10/10!!! Stefanos was a superb experience and a great place to go for a special occasion. My girlfriend and I went for our anniversary and it was very romantic. Very classy and well kept place. The bread and salad were terrific and the main course was even better. I got their signature Veal Parmesan and it was so big and delicious. The fact it came with a side of spaghetti was the cherry on top. Our server was very kind and did a great job. Highly recommend coming here for a special occasion or just need a fancy night out! read more

Went here for a birthday dinner and the service was poor. Servers were not very attentive. Food was okay. It wasn't phenomenal for the price. I enjoyed the appetizers and lobster bisque but the main entree that we ordered was the veal and it was very, very thin and did not have much flavor. The restaurant is small, only a few tables and quite intimate when you get a booth but the tables in the middle, you can hear the other table talking. read more

Best restaurant in Morgantown, especially for a special event. Food great, service is great. No complaint.

Stefanos was selected as the restaurant to celebrate my buddy's birthday. Having heard great things about the restaurant, I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to visit for the occasion. It's located on the lower level of a complex that also has a bar and a bowling alley. Although the parking lot was quite full, there's ample parking available. Upon entering, the interior is dimly lit and took a few minutes to adjust to. Seating can be configured for intimate dining for two or four as well as larger groups. The decor is representative of its Italian namesake and bottle of wine are neatly arranged in a large wall display. Our server was Darien who greeted our party of eight and provided us with the specials of the night. He took our drink orders and returned a few minutes later. He was polite and attentive to our party's needs even though the restaurant was quite busy. I ordered the king salmon which was one of the dinner specials. Some ordered appetizers and a couple bottles of some excellent wine. Other offerings that our table ordered were halibut, chicken Marsala, Chilean sea bass and lobster. The only reason for the four star rating was the long wait for the food to arrive. The king salmon was served over long string beans and mashed potatoes. The salmon was incredibly moist and flavorful!!! The portion was perfect as well. Instead of desserts, a custom birthday cake was made by an awesome baker who was a friend of someone in our group. Chocolate cake with a layer of cookie dough and chocolate frosting and decorated with miniature whiskey bottles. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and the festivities. I highly recommend Stefano's for its great food and ambiance. The prices were a bit on the higher end but still reasonable. read more

One of the top Italian places I've been to in quite a while. Easily rivals upscale places in metro areas. Great ambiance and decor. Hostess and bartender/server were both on top of it. Sat at bar. Great smoked old fashioned. Had the Gnocchi with the stuffed meatball. Oh my! What a treat. Such a good meal and paired with a glass of red wine suggested by the bartender. If you're looking for great Italian but happen to be in Morgantown? This is the place. Also great for taking clients to a nice dinner. Was not disappointed. read more

Great service! Stuffed Filet was melting in my mouth!! We enjoyed a delicious Italian Cabernet. But the service and ambiance was first class! read more

Great food and service. Cozy atmosphere. Great date night place. We had the specials and everything was delicious.

Very good Italian restaurant in Morgantown, West Virginia . Living on Long Island, NY options were not available for Memorial Day weekend. The good Lord found my destination 7 hours away to Morgantown, West Virginia. NY doors were closed but Mr Jim Justice(governor of West Virginia) opened the door for me to his lovely state. I am grateful. I've listened to his press conferences for last 2 weeks. I respected his wishes and practiced social distancing during my stay. Great Italian food Start to finish. I give 3 thumbs up West Virginia Jim Justice & Stefano's read more

Came here for dinner while working in town for the following day. Wow - this is a great place - food was AMAZING!. Both myself and my colleagues were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and the service - exceptional. This is a local favourite of our sales rep (and we are glad she brought us!) and so we had a lovely dining experience that evening. The wine list is also very good - lots of international choices. I had the house pasta (which was rigatoni with chicken) and my colleague had the black garlic tagliatelle - which he also said was amazing.. A light beet salad to start and we were set for a puely super dining experience. read more

Everything about the place was a 5 star experience food the service and also the atmosphere

An absolute gem of a dining experience in Morgantown! Tucked away so it is easy to miss, but don't let that fool you. The food here is a 10. Drinks are on point and service is solid. This place is on par with any high end big city restaurant. read more

I would say this is the one of the most fancy restaurants in Morgantown. We went for new years for a special occasion and it was excellent!

A nice surprise in Morgantown underneath a bowling alley. Stopped on the way to Pittsburgh and had a lovely Italian meal. Better than most Italian I've had. Lovely service and delicious food. read more

Best restaurant in the area. Great Italian food with few surprises to keep your interest. Make reservations early. They can fill up!

Best restaurant in Morgantown. My favorite place to go on Friday after work. Great drinks and I love the crab appetizer, it is always so fresh. The Branzino was awesome, would highly recommend.

Only giving two stars because my food was good. We were at the restaurant for about two hours, maybe a little longer. When we walked in, I felt really uncomfortable because there was a very large party of men who clearly knew the servers/ management and we were stared at while walking to our table. We were a tad under dressed compared to others, however we definitely were dressed up more than just jeans and a T-shirt. Anyway, no dress code is stated at the door so that shouldn't have mattered but I'm very certain that it was a factor in how we were served. We had our order taken fairly quickly, and were told that the chef was trying to catch up so he encouraged us to order a salad while we waited for our entrees. This was fine with us and we appreciated his honesty. However, we then sat for an hour and 45 minutes waiting on our food. Tables who arrived after us had come and gone. We were served at 9:45 pm. They had started cleaning tables around us and resetting them, so we felt very rushed and like we needed to leave ASAP. We were one of the only tables left in the restaurant at this point. Overall, a very unpleasant experience. We spent over $200 on food, so to leave with a terrible experience is pretty disheartening and we will definitely not be back. read more

Let me first talk about the food. Everything was great. I had the wedge salad, which had an olive tapenade. I don't even like olives and I thought it was delicious. My husband had the Caesar and thought it was good as well. The sea bass was recommended by our server and it was absolutely outstanding. We also had the filet (very good) and lobster tail (very very good) the lava cake was good and we really enjoyed the strawberry creme brûlée. The wine list was very good. Here's where it was a little weird and I think there were two reasons for it. We were seated in the back room, which we didn't even know existed. I think that was due to covid so we could spread out. I wasn't uncomfortable at all. There were plenty of spaces between tables. I had no problem being back there. I also wonder if they needed more space because it was Valentine's weekend and perhaps they were busier than normal. However, that back room is strange in that it's right under the bowling alley. They have obviously invested in soundproofing, but you would still hear it. It certainly wasn't too loud and it didn't bother us at all. The , we realized that the room was actually part of Keglers II. Keglers is the sports bar upstairs. The tip off was the waitresses hurriedly going through the room in their skintight outfits. It's kjnd of like a Hooters, but with sports outfits. Now don't get me wrong. Keglers is fine. I've been there plenty of times. It's a great place to watch a game. But, it was weird to be sitting there eating a $300 meal while a server walked past in her sports bra and skin tight yoga pants with her hands full of bar food. Regardless, our meal was delicious and we will definitely be back. Perhaps we will request a table in the front room if it's available next time. read more

Above average but not as good as it should be. Cocktails ordered first shouldn't be delivered after the appetizers arrive. Shrimp app is not a good value but did taste good. Halibut was very good but others said their entrees were okay but nothing spectacular. The menu appears to be abbreviated from what has been posted. I'm guessing this will change as things reopen post covid. Service was above average but a little suspect with over eager plate and utensil removal. I think they were turning tables tonight. Overall a good meal and decent service. I would suggest sitting in the front room if possible as the rear atmosphere is very underwhelming. read more

Without a doubt, the best place in Morgantown for special occasions. (Really anytime, but 'tis not cheap.)

Went to this place while visiting. Absolutely the worst Italian food. It is worse than Olive Garden quality but Pricing is like fine dining. Save your money and run as fast you can from this place!!! read more

This place gets two thumbs up.! Today was the first swanky dinner that me and my fiancé have visited since moving to West Virginia. I was pleased we had a great experience from the beginning. The hostess knew we were newly engaged and treated us such it was nice to hear congrats since I have been wanting to scream from the roof toPs. The seating was perfect and the free bread they bring to the table was Devine To start I had a drink a merlot sangria and it was strong and delicious just the way I like them I ordered the special for dinner since I was interested in the taste when the waitress explained it to me and my Fiancé it was a shrimp pasta with asparagus and artichoke it was great! The service was great as well I believe our sever name was Nicky and she was super awesome our desert was comped since I was a newly engaged and a birthday girl:-) nice place if you want a night out and a reason to get dolled up please check this place out:-) read more

Great service, setting and food with reasonable prices. I had the NY strip med/rare with the butter sauce and the wedge salad. My fiancé had a shrimp type pasta and though my NY strip was cooked perfectly her pasta was better. For dessert we had the banana bread strawberry cake which was good, next time I will try the ice cream pecan ball. They comped our dessert since it was her birthday and we just got engaged. Two drinks(sangria and desaeorno) an app, NY strip and the special pasta was $91. Typical dinner will run between $27-35. Crystal was our server and did a great job. read more

Some of the best Italian around and the Chefs are outstanding as is the service. Never would have imagined this gem under the bowling ally, but some of the best chef creations I've had in a long time and very fairly priced for the high quality food. Ambience is solid and our favorite is to sit at the bar and engage with that team as they are very knowledgeable and fun... read more

Instant diarrhea...tried having something a little traditional but maybe chef was offended...I had instant diareah!!! If you are from out of town I cannot recommend this place!!!! May I add my server was a dream...she was perfection...but swayed by this why did I get food poisoning???? Why!!!!! More specifically...I had a delicious shrimp cocktail, great Barolo (after working out the bait and switch on the Valpocella) and then tried to order a pasta Aglio e Olio style with pepperoncino peppers. Unbelievable!! The pasta was prepared with green pickled pepperononcino peppers!!! This is only meant for Deli sandwiches!! My amazing and wonderful waitress tried her best to get it corrected and my big mouth just got me mega diarrheal!!! Foul I say!!!! Bottom line...not really Italian food and you risk food poisoning....but damn!!! That waitress was such a sweetheart!!! read more

I've been here twice now and an excellent date spot here in Morgantown. Great wine selection and atmosphere. I haven't been disappointed by anything I've had here!
