"I don’t come to a Stefani restaurant seeking culinary innovation so much as utter reliability, and this suburban Lincolnwood outpost delivers: service is strong and the $99, 36-ounce tomahawk beef ribeye’s meat “is so rich it glistens” and would likely sate four people (or one hungry lion). The bone-in Kansas City strip was my favorite steak, portions are large across the menu, and pastas include a fettuccine tossed in a hollow of a 20-pound wheel of grana padano. Executive chef Nolan Narut earns praise for his take on shrimp DeJonghe, a local specialty I found to be a “perfect balance of breadcrumbs and butter sauce.”" - Jeffy Mai
