Made my eyes wide and my tongue happy - Edit
I only ordered one thing: the Focaccia Sandwich. Perfection.
Read moreThe only thing I didn’t like abt my order is that it was $22 for a sandwich no bigger than my hand, and it didn’t come with any sides.
Pros: Yummy
Cons: Pricey

StefaNOs - Edit
After having read such rave reviews about this place and also noticing that they've got my favourite sandwich, I decided to take the trip with very high expectations. The host/server was quite friendly and accommodating but the food didn't check any spots. I dined with my Omni friend who is quite open and has tried many other vegan restaurants and was not impressed - "quite meh". I ordered the fried mushroom sandwich with potato salad. The mushroom was heavily spiced with what appeared to be nutmeg/cinnamon, quite rubbery and tasteless. I had to deconstruct the sandwich to attempt eating it. The potato salad was quite bland. I settled for my friend's fries. It was quite disappointing because I was so looking forward to having this mushroom sandwich. Glad I tried but sorry, it's StefaNOs for me.

Dinner was perfect. Really cutting edge vegan food - Edit
Update: still come here whenever I’m around, it’s my partner’s fave restaurant in Toronto. The Brie with jam is super good!!
Read moreWas really excited to come here after trying one of their sandwiches at VegTO fest, and was not disappointed! Everything we had was a winner, my top picks are the lasagna and olive oil cake.
I tried the “salmon” dish and was mindblown at how realistic it was! I’d been following NewSchool Foods (the supplier of the salmon cut) for a while and was sooo happy to finally see it available. It was fun to try once but it was so realistic it actually spooked me a bit. If you don’t know about New School I highly recommend giving them a look, they use really interesting tech to create their product.
Stefano’s seems very connected to the vegan community which is another huge plus. Their deli cuts are from Nonno’s in Hamilton, who are also amazing.

Very good tiramisue - Edit
Only had dessert here but it was damn delicious. Only lost a star because $14 for a slice is steep , but is a nice treat.

Great spot for Italian food - Edit
Good food and service
Read moreWe tried
Meat balls and Arangini for appetizers
Then had lasagna and chick'n Parmesan for main
Cheese cake for dessert
Everything was good and fresh but could have used a bit more spices and herbs
We had to ask for chili oil to add some flavor to the food
Also the chick'n was good but a very thin piece like a cracker
Would like to try other food options
Second time here, we tried the summer prefix 3 course meal
Food overall was good. Even my non vegan friend enjoyed most of it

Great vegan lunch! - Edit
Recently dropped by Stefano’s for to try out their lunch items. When I arrived, the restaurant was fairly quiet, with lots of tables available. It is a fairly small restaurant, so I’m sure at peak times it can get busy, and it appears you can make reservations in advance.
Read moreThey seem to have a fairly extensive menu, including bunch. I ordered the smash burger with fries. My order arrived extremely quickly, and tasted delicious! Service was excellent, and the servers were friendly and efficient.

Anniversary dinner - Edit
My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary this year at Stefano's. I chose the Summerlicious prix fixe menu, and my wife ordered the New/School Foods plant-based salmon. I picked the plant-based chicken breast for my main. Both main dishes were excellent in taste, texture and appearance!
Read morePros: Incredible flavours and textures of the "meats"!, Great service., Simple but professional plating.
Cons: Noisy when busy.

Our chicken was burnt? - Edit
I really wanted to like this place but our chicken sandwich was burnt. Also it was spicy. We only discovered it once we got home (takeaway), which was quite disappointing. My husband had a chicken salad which he liked though, but I didn’t think it was anything special.

UPDATE: THe CHICKEN - Edit
Well what happened is that so many businesses closed in S. Ontario we now have very limited chicken options. Stefano's chicken sandwich, now a whopping $17+ is the best chicken sandwich in town. So I gave it an extra star and might try some of the other options. Also, they how have a PERMINENT location, so the vagueness is gone. Good job!

10 years ago I would have thought the sandwiches were fabulous and wouldn't have scoffed at paying more than what other vegan fair was charging.
But I'm being spoiled here in Toronto. The sandwiches were good but I wasn't bowled over. Likely the price held me back. The hefty $14+ gets you just the sandwich. I liked the chicken but it was similar to all the other deep fried chicken now available in town.
Actually, thinking about it more, I realize they are smaller version of the now closed "Too Cool for School" bakery (honestly I could never remember the name of that place!) Smaller and more expensive.
Also, the sandwiches aren't really available all the time? Just a special pop up at that location? Or just every Sunday? It's a little vague...

Best Tiramisu! - Edit
Holy smokes! This place was great. I loved it all. I went for the salmon and mashed potatoes and was blown away. It had that algae, flavor spot on. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. And the tiramisu!?! Chefs kiss. One of the best I’ve ever had.

Brie was the highlight - Edit
We stopped at Stefano’s for dinner and started with the Brie. It was excellent, but sadly it was also the highlight of the meal. The New School Salmon was interesting and definitely fish-ish but the texture was quite dry and I think a creamy sauce would have helped. The muffuletta was a big letdown. It didn’t have a good strong olive relish, it was cut with too many other veggies like celery. The tiramisu was good.

Pros: Excellent Brie

Hidden gem with comfortable atmosphere. - Edit
The exterior of Stefano’s is very unassuming and we almost walked by before noticing “plant forward” on the door. Delicious vegan brunch or lunch spot, with great service and a comfortable atmosphere! I could easily see becoming a regular.

Tried the vegan chicken sandwich and tiramisu for delivery - Edit
solid plant-based comfort meal! 🌱🍰 The vegan chicken sandwich was flavorful and satisfying, though a bit standard, and the tiramisu was creamy, sweet, and a perfect ending, small portion though

Cute Diner - Edit
I ordered the eggs in purgatory with a side arugula salad. The eggs in purgatory also came with a side of bread. The tomato sauce was pretty good, but nothing really wowed me. I might come back to try more of their menu with my partner who likes Italian food.
