- EEricChicago / Illinois •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe menu varied from what was posted online, but the choices were similar. The Goat Cheese tart appetizer was outstanding. We had the short ribs and the chef's special (whitefish). Both were excellent, as was the dessert (the Napoleon) we shared. Portions were just right. Service was excellent. I wish I could remember our server's name and compliment her directly. we will definitely return.More infoThe Alcove- EvanstonPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Evanston•4.7

- CCarynvipChicago / Illinois •81 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoStefani's is my new favorite spot. This was my fourth visit since October 18th. We tried a few new items this time: the tuna crudo is amazing! The friend calamari is so light and fresh....the caper aioli is delicious! All our entrees were fantastic: chicken parmesan, short rib ravioli, ravioli pera (oh my gosh!!!), pasta aragosta, and my favorite: the seared tuna (extra rare is my favorite way). Our desserts were perfect to finish the meal: the cookie skillet was warm and gooey and delicious....the bread pudding was WOW! Mike was our server and there is no one better! We have been lucky enough to have him for each of our four visits. He is so attentive. He offers excellent suggestion when asked! He KNOWS the menu inside and out!More infoStefani PrimePrice: Expensive• Steak• Lincolnwood•4.8
