Made a reservation and every part of this meal was worth it.  The staff were great, welcoming, friendly and helpful.  Made great recommendations based on our conversation.  It was so good that I ordered some food to go to eat hours later.  I highly recommend that you eat here,  you won't regret a single bite,   Do yourself a favour and get the garlic knot.  I also love the fact that it's 100% vegan so we didn't have to worry about anything we ordered.

Came to Stefano’s after having an incredible dining experience at GIA! We visited for their Valentine’s Day menu and everything was outstanding! The ingredients were fresh, the food was beautifully presented and the flavours were amazing. My boyfriend (who is a heavy carnivore), was very impressed with the plant based menu. He loved the salmon.
The menu, priced at $50/person, was worth every penny. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, I highly recommend!

Finally tried Stefano's last weekend and loved it. We had the meatball sandwich, eggplant parmigiana sandwich with salad & fries and everything was delicious. The bread is made in house, ingredients taste high quality, food was very flavourful + service was awesome. We felt like overall it's a great restaurant with a cute vibe and affordable prices for what you get compared to some other places in Toronto now.

Will definitely be back :)

Amazing place! The Salmon dish is insane - the salmon tastes so real, it is scary…
The burger was also super tasty! One of the best vegan burgers I have had in town.

I just found the portion a bit small (specially the fries, could be increased)… however, still a great experience!

Gotta get their Italian sub, eggplant parm and lasagna! Never had lasagna that was sideways and crispy, but I was so pleasantly surprised by it. This will definitely be a regular spot for me for both quick eats and a nice dining atmosphere.

Make sure to try their cakes too! The olive oil cake has a nice subtle sweetness and the olive oil gives a refreshing flavour and aroma. The lemon cake is definitely a contender for best lemon cake I’ve ever had.
