Trattoria Stefano - Sheboygan

This restaurant is a hidden gem in the Midwest. We discovered it during a birthday weekend celebration while camping at Harrington Beach State Park, and it exceeded our expectations for a nice dining experience to culminate the birthday. This establishment stands out as one of the finest Italian restaurants I have encountered. Dining here evokes the comforting sensation of being welcomed to a grandma’s nonna’s kitchen, where every dish is a testament to home-cooked, soul-satisfying Italian cuisine. The food is exceptional, complemented by a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. It is evident that the staff take genuine pleasure in their work, as reflected in their demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu and its ingredients—a notable asset. The ossobuco was superb, and the Trenne Donna pasta, with its rich array of flavors, was nothing short of extraordinary. Though I am not of Italian heritage, the experience transported me to the warmth of my Armenian grandmother’s kitchen, blending the charm of home cooking with the sophistication of fine dining. Each bite evoked nostalgic memories of cherished meals, leaving me profoundly satisfied. I highly recommend this restaurant; it certainly merits far more recognition than it currently receives.

Taste better than the Wisconsin,,, Great food at a more than a reasonable price..

This was the best FINE DINING EXPERIENCE!! The food, the service, the drinks all were over the top!!!

The food was absolutely incredible. I'm upset I paid 153$ and our server forgot our old fashioned , after waiting so long we stopped another server to grab us something else. Didn't bring any bread to our table till after I asked well after our appetizer came out. I had one small glass of water and he didn't ever come to refill it again or my boyfriends. Ordered a tiramsu at the end and he forgot to bring us it and we had to go ask someone to get us one to go because we were just ready to leave at that point . He barely came to the table , we wanted more stuff but he was just never around . For 153 I kind of expect better service then that. That was my first time here and it makes me not want to come back even though the food was great. My experience was ruined by being annoyed majority of the dinner waiting around this guy.

Sat at the bar for a few drinks. Wasn’t greeted pleasantly whatsoever. Finished my drink (it was amazing) and went 10 minutes without being asked for another. The bar or restaurant wasn’t even busy. Settled my tab and got asked for more money on the tip by the new bartender. Can’t even make that up.
