It had been a few years since our last dinner at Steven Lelli’s, and once again, the experience did not disappoint. This visit was extra special, as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Arriving late on a Sunday afternoon, the restaurant wasn’t crowded, which gave us the luxury of choosing our preferred seating.
We started with the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail—four large, perfectly fresh shrimp with a sweet cocktail sauce. The seafood was excellent and left me eager to try the Famous Checker Barbecue Ribs on our next visit.
For our entrées, we ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and the Steakhouse Gnocchi. On the side, we added the Spaghetti Bolognese and a Caesar Salad. The Fettuccine Alfredo was outstanding—the kind of pasta that hooks you from the very first bite. The Steakhouse Gnocchi was equally impressive, with steak that was tender, juicy, and paired beautifully with broccolini, mushrooms, and a rich demi-glace. Portions were generous, easily enough for two, so we took the rest home to enjoy later.
The Spaghetti Bolognese had good flavor, though it was softer than our preference—we’ll be sure to request firmer pasta next time. The Caesar Salad was decent, but I’d recommend asking for the dressing on the side.
One tip: don’t overlook the back of the menu—it’s full of tempting dishes you might miss if you only focus on the front.
The atmosphere inside was calm, relaxing, and pleasantly quiet. While the waitstaff seemed a bit stretched, our server managed well overall. Service wasn’t flawless, but there was nothing to complain about.
All in all, we had a wonderful evening and are already looking forward to our next visit to Steven Lelli’s.
