Stefano's Restaurant

The most amazing dinner my family and I have had in a while! The service was so attentive and friendly and the restaurant is dressed up very nicely - like stepping into a Italian grotto. But THE FOOD. Everything had amazing flavour and such a nice variety of things to try in the set menu. I am also vegetarian and the restaurant was easily able to accomodate the menu for this. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to splurge a bit for a special night 😊

Stefano’s in Mildura was an unforgettable dining experience—well worth the wait and absolutely exceptional. This beautiful restaurant exudes warmth and charm, with knowledgeable staff delivering impeccable service. The five-course degustation menu was simply sublime, with every bite a delight. The cuttlefish on polenta and the tagliatelle with rabbit ragu were standouts, leaving a lasting impression. To top it all off, we had the incredible privilege of meeting Stefano himself, who took the time to chat about food, the region, and family. When you admire someone for so long, it’s a joy to find they are everything you imagined they'd be. for.

Stefano is sponsoring local food and local wines. Outstanding service with great sommelier advice by Nathan and a very friendly chat with stefano himself. We had the degustation 5 course meal which has no menu but comes announced with each dish. the highlight being the cuttlefish with cuttlefish ink and polenta and an amazing Murray cod as main course, all peppered with local drops from chalmers winery. The dessert might have been a bit short of the inspiration and drive of some of the other dishes and the fish was a tad under seasoned. But in every possible way this is a must go destination if in the area.

A wonderful dining experience. The staff were professional and approachable, the food was sublime, and the cellar atmosphere was intimate. Even ingredients I don't normally like tasted wonderful in terms of the whole serving. One of the best restaurants we have been to for a long time. The cost I cite includes wine.

At least once in your lifetime should you have a culinary adventure like this. The dining rooms are under street level and intimate in nature. There were five courses on offer to our group of nine, with some substituted dishes due to dietary requirements. Every dish was a delight, even those offered as a substitute. There were incredibly bold flavours intermingled with soft and subtle dishes and we relied on the cellar man to choose two wines which would compliment the food. Bullseye! The combination of food and wines so wonderfully delivered and presented meant for an unforgettable meal. There was nothing I could fault. It may come at a price but the experience defies comparison. At least once, treat yourself.

Joined late at a work day, only had pasta, dessert and a drink. I’ve never liked any tiramisu in my life, until I tried this one, absolutely unique and I love it so very much. Pasta’s also pretty good. Staff are friendly. Unique environment. Great experience. Definitely will come back with a booking for the mains.

The atmosphere they’re aiming for is wine cellar vibes, but it felt so claustrophobic and eery due to the crazy low ceiling and dim lighting. The service was okay, but we got a weird look when we said we were skipping wine. They obviously put a lot of effort in the presentation, however the portions which they called “courses” were all entree size. See for yourself with the pictures below. Feeling robbed and hungry. Is this worth $130 per person? I’d say a big NO.

We enjoyed the 5 course meal. Each time we were presented with a dish it was a lovely surprise. It was definitely an experience. When I walked in I heard someone say the he felt as though he was in Paris again. I actually agreed with him as I felt it reminded me of a restaurant in Rome. The restaurant is located on a lower lever and feels cool and has various pictures of people on the walls. The location is unique for a restaurant in Mildura The food was eloquent and elegant. I’m not sure if these are the words one can use to describe a meal. The meals were definitely fresh, light and delicious.

Great service and food. Downstairs is very cute. The wait staff were well informed and attentive
