"My review of Trattoria Stefano: Often, when you return to a place cloaked in fond memories of nostalgia, it lets you down. It's like seeing an old flame thirty years later, and you question the original infatuation. Well, Stefano's stirred my passions as if 15 years meant not a thing. After strolling Sheboygan's beautiful revitalized waterfront, we drove to Stefano's, parking in their rear lot. The restaurant looked the same, and we found two empty seats at the large front room bar. Ashley, behind the bar, was gracious and helpful, and we ordered wine from Stefano's eclectic offerings. While not as groundbreaking as 20 years ago, the wine list is still interesting and has reasonable pricing. We ordered Caesar salad, two pastas, the stuffed veal chop, a sausage dish, and the Tiramisu. The Caesar was fantastic and unique, with a sublime crunchy taste. That alone was worth the price of admission, but the veal chop was a stunning crescendo, maybe the best I ever had. Pastas were as good as I remembered. The ragu was simply delicious. My spouse thought her sausage dish was okay but nothing special. Tiramisu was ordered to go back with us to Milwaukee. Later, the restaurant was so packed on a Tuesday night that Ashley left to help out in the kitchen. Greg aptly took over, and the service did not miss a beat. The one discordant note was when I asked to tip the kitchen staff. Ashley led me to the kitchen, and I passed over a $20.00 and received nary a smile or thank you. Perhaps they were too exhausted. However, it was a wonderful evening, and hopefully, it will be repeated soon. Oh, the pricing was very reasonable."

1st time visiting, but I will definitely be back when in the area again. I had the fish of the day, halibut, and it was delicious. The cuttlefish appetizer was delightful. Bartender made excellent drinks. Definitely check this restaurant out.

Terrific service provided by Michael and others. My delicious halibut dish didn’t quite “work” as the sauce and other accoutrements would be better adorning a different protein. I’m of the opinion fine fresh fish shouldn’t be smothered so much.

Sat at the bar for a few drinks. Wasn’t greeted pleasantly whatsoever. Finished my drink (it was amazing) and went 10 minutes without being asked for another. The bar or restaurant wasn’t even busy. Settled my tab and got asked for more money on the tip by the new bartender. Can’t even make that up.

Mushroom risotto was good, salad was good, chicken dish was very salty. It was so salty that I couldn’t eat it. The restaurant comped my meal which was nice, but I was very disappointed about my main course as I heard such great things about the restaurant. The flourless chocolate cake was delicious.

Very good Italian. Cool location in Downtown Sheboygan. So five stars would be on par with best Italian I ever had, 4 stars. This was up there. Authentic, great food with one small issue. My chair wasn’t comfortable. A great restaurant like this and you’re going to be there a while. When we were done my bottom was ready to go.

I'm a bit conflicted about this restaurant... Almost 5 stars, but not quite. The limited menu was a downside for me. The service and appetizers were excellent, and the halibut I ordered was very good. However, the tomato soup was just okay. Overall, it was a good meal and I would consider coming back. The location is also really nice.

The food at T.S. is absolutely delicious from start to finish. Every course, from the aperitif to the digestive, is well executed. The attention to detail is impressive, creating an authentic experience. The cocktails alone are worth a visit, but a meal here will leave you feeling extremely satisfied. After visiting 7 years ago, this was our second visit and we will continue to return every time we are in Sheboygan! View menu

This restaurant took me back to Rome! Brandon suggested the chef's special, which was fantastic - a chicken ragù with fresh pasta. Whenever I see fresh sepia or cuttlefish on the menu, I always order it, and this dish did not disappoint. I'm glad I had the bread (you must try the bread) because I couldn't get enough of the sauce with every bite! The tiramisu was decadent. And don't forget to order the cappuccino - it's a must!

The food was absolutely incredible. I'm upset I paid 153$ and our server forgot our old fashioned , after waiting so long we stopped another server to grab us something else. Didn't bring any bread to our table till after I asked well after our appetizer came out. I had one small glass of water and he didn't ever come to refill it again or my boyfriends. Ordered a tiramsu at the end and he forgot to bring us it and we had to go ask someone to get us one to go because we were just ready to leave at that point . He barely came to the table , we wanted more stuff but he was just never around . For 153 I kind of expect better service then that. That was my first time here and it makes me not wan...

"This restaurant was one of the first places I visited when I moved back to Wisconsin. I missed my Friday night Fish Fries and my new roommate said this was a popular place. He was definitely right. The place was packed when we got there (no reservations taken) and we ended up waiting about 1/2 hour before being seated. Was the food worth waiting for? YES! Crispy battered fish with a flaky tender middle...I was in fish fry heaven. I believe it came with a potato pancake, applesauce, coleslaw and a slice of rye bread. I ordered the pistachio torte for dessert, and although it was tasty, I was expecting something different. My German background says a torte is layers of cake with filling, but this was just basically pistachio pudding, layered with whipped cream and cake. More like what you might bring to a potluck dinner than a restaurant dessert. Yes, I ate it all, and it was tasty... just not what I expected. The other nice thing about the restaurant is the wide selection of cocktails and beer. Which isn 't surprising, since it is a bar and grill. I had a satisfying dark beer that was perfect with my fish fry. I 've been back several times and although it is always busy, it still is one of my favorite restaurants. But I still can 't figure out why it is called the Scenic Bar ... it 's on a street corner, not by the lake or river. Absolutely nothing scenic about it."

"I chose the Pork Pluma while my wife opted for the lamb. My dish was decent but left something to be desired; it wasn’t hot enough, and honestly, the pork was the highlight. If you can make pork taste like a ribeye, that's impressive! However, the side dish was somewhat underwhelming. To keep it brief, my wife had to request her lamb to be cooked more thoroughly after she was hesitant to speak up—unfortunately, she had a bad experience with it. This moment seemed to change the entire vibe of our visit. Our server went from being relaxed to looking frantic and, dare I say, a bit scared. My wife felt awful about the situation, and I felt even worse when her dish returned and she described it as tasting like plain hamburger over SpaghettiOs. Unfortunately, she was right. Throughout this disappointment, our server remained awkward and timid, rarely approaching us with any updates. His conversations seemed short and lacking enthusiasm. To top it off, he accidentally knocked over the silverware at the neighboring table while picking up our tab. My message to him: Relax. It's not your fault that a dish didn’t meet expectations. We didn’t express our concerns in a way that was intended to blame anyone, but for $120, plus a 25% tip, I believe a chef should aim to impress with every dish, and servers shouldn't feel their night is ruined by a politely made request. Our advice? Remove items from the menu that aren’t up to par. Avoid the lamb, and definitely encourage the servers to promote the cocktails—they were fantastic!"
