From start to finish it was an amazing experience. Stefano's catered my wedding at Hidden Acres. Guest have reached out that the food was hot and amazing. The chicken tortellini was definitely everyone's favorite. It was gone. They served for us perfectly and everything was hot and ready to go. Thank you stefanos for making our wedding day so much easier. read more

Best pizza anywhere. Great service to go along with great food. Always go to Stefano's when we are in Florence

Our group loves Stefano's. But I started to try n eat healthier so this last time I ordered The Chef Salad n it was delicious. I'm not a salad/veggie person but I ate 1/2 of it n the next day finished it off. I will try another salad next time our ladies group goes here! read more

Goooooodddddd fffffffooooooddddd I love the dime in and take out fast service frendly service great customer service read more

We stopped here for lunch after a doctor visit at MUSC. I had the eggplant lunch special and my wife had a hot veal cutlet sandwich. Both were very good. The lunch special came with a nice size salad and garlic bread. Prices were very reasonable. Our waitress Susie was friendly and very efficient. Will definitely go there again when we're out that way. read more

Ordered a spaghetti dinner yesterday for delivery. When I got it, the order was 95% spaghetti and 5% dry meat sauce. It had to be the worse spaghetti dinner I've ever had in my life. Please do yourself a favor, don't order a spaghetti dinner from this restaurant, you will be disappointed. They need to stick to making pizzas read more

We stopped here on our drive from NY to FL. Yelp is always our guide. We had a wonderful meal. My husband and I both had a fabulous Chicken Parm meal. It was served with a nice salad and very tasty garlic bread. Our server was terrific. Her name was Misty. This was our 1st time but it won't be the last. We will ask for Misty every time. I certainly understand why this restaurant far from the interstate is so popular. It is amazing. I'm a well traveled New Yorker. I know good food. It was packed on a Thursday night. No surprise! read more

Stefano's - Chicken Parm - Italian Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

In Florence, Stefano's is the best Italian restaurant - period! The food is amazing. The pasta and sauces are out of this world. If you are looking for different pizza look no further. Service here is 5-star. The atmosphere is very warm and family friendly. Dig into the desserts while you are here. Amazing. read more

Nice, fast, decent for money. Would recommended for a long time though as it would make be a little less

Ordered pizza for delivery to the hotel - did their version of a "Meat Lovers". Sauce had a touch of sweetness to it and the toppings were plentiful! read more

Such great tasting food, the waiter and waitresses are so nice. Very clean environment. Definitely recommend

So.....I Went there again and was very disappointed.. The ministroni soup was barely even Luke warm. On the menu I ordered Nobilo sauvignon blanc wine; The waitress brought me Cupcake sauvignon blanc.... Which is a much cheaper, nowhere near as good tasting wine. When I asked for the wine I had ordered. She said that they didn't have it. Change the menu to be correct. read more

So so good!! We stopped by at lunch and the fettuccini alfredo was perfect. Tasty sauce, tender noodles, great bread! Homey atmosphere and friendly servers! read more

Had been wanting to check it out for while, on corner of Freedom Blvd & S Irby St. Stephano's in Anderson, SC where I grew up was considered fancy, this location is casual. To be fair, I only got a salad because wanted to eat lite. My wife had the Seafood Medley, it was noodles w pesto and assorted seafood pieces. It did not look that appetizing, my salad was ok. There were many options for traditional Italian dishes on menu. Our waitress was lacking in nearly every way that makes for good service. This really took away from our dining impression. The dining rooms are on smaller side so if you have party more than 4 may take longer to seat. This is a middle of pack option for Italian. read more

Amazing experience! I came in to dine yesterday evening with my friend, and we could not have asked for a better experience. The food was delicious and came out fast, but the service was what made our time. Kayla was our server, and she was fantastic!! Our drinks were always full and she made great conversation. We will be back very soon for the food and will ask for Kayla again! read more

Food was great and service was great! Not a long wait time even though it was crowded. It was reasonably priced.

Ate lunch here today with our grown daughter. Great service and great food. Thank you!

Bri was my server. Excellent service and delicious food. Great location and the restaurant was accommodating. read more

I lived in Florence for several years and this was one of my regular go to places. Now that I no longer live in Florence this is one of the places I visit when I'm in town. The lasagne is one of my favorites in the world! And don't forget to try their grinders! I'm not kidding when I say they are the best in the world! I think it's the bread and the way they layer everything together, make sure you get the toasted grinder. I prefer the Special Grinder but the others are great too. read more

Food is great dine in or out, large portions. Great service every time. Traditional Italian cuisine, wine selection and bar for cocktails.

great food, service and has the Traditional Italian food. This is one of the places we go to.

Best pizza and salads and salad dressings around! I love their Italian wedding soup! Fast friendly service

The calamari was amazing so tender highly recommended. I had linguini with clam sauce it was cooked perfectly so good. The service was awesome and they were really busy but the server was really good and attentive. This place will be on my go to any time I'm in the area. read more

I would definitely recommend it as well. They have the best pizza in Florence right now

I have called here several times, and their phone just beeps at me. And then when I go 6 miles through traffic on a Friday night, they are closed. Generally the restaurant has been decent but I don't know what's going on right now. Maybe they didn't pay their bills? read more

This food is always phenomenal and the service is fast and the staff are always friendly it is a tight setting but it feels like family.

I just ordered take out. And I'll say this, and it hurts, but go to Olive Garden. It hurts cause I grew up eating at Stefanos. And have been a huge fan of their shrimp scampi. It's my go to dish. This has been the 3rd time in 2 months it has been inedible. It's pure lemon. No cream sauce, which is what makes this dish. It has cream sauce, just no flavor at all and no consistency to it, it doesn't stick to the shrimp or pasta. Just pours off like water. And the shrimp have no flavor either. As if they went to Food Lion bought a bag of large deveined, no tail, shrimp, threw it in the "cream sauce", poured a shit-ton of lemon juice in it a served it. The chicken marsala now has to be ordered with pasta, when for the past 5 years I've been eating the chicken marsala, I've ordered it without any pasta. Just chicken, mushrooms, and marsala sauce. I make my own mashed potatoes when I get home to pour it over. Which oh, was dry, omg! Almost like bacon bits flavor and texture. It was just terrible. Sad. It's one of the last local owned restaurants read more

Great service ! Great food ! Enjoyed the ambiance and detail to the need of the customer!

Outstanding pasta dishes. Pizza, calzone, Stromboli. Nice salads (love the Parmesan peppercorn dressing). Service and food are always great.

Excellent place! The folks who own this place own a couple of other outstanding places! The service is excellent, the food is excellent and the choices are plentiful. The food is as authentic as you are going to get. I believe the person who runs the kitchen is actually Italian. Being of Italian ancestry myself, quality counts, especially when I go out for Italian instead of making my own. Florence is blessed with many decent restaurants. I've eaten at Cibo's, their fast-casual concept so I had high expectations. The sauces are made in-house and there are lots of choices. I went with sausage ravioli in the Vodka sauce amd added artichokes. The sun-dried tomatoes and onions give this dish the perfect balance and flavor. The salad is ok. The ingredients were fresh. The bread is wonderful! The unsweet tea isn't bitter. I finished off the meal with an eclair, and I made the right choice! Eat here! read more

Stefano's was a real treat. The wait staff was very polite and accommodating. The ambiance was like stepping back in time. The bar was amazing! Now let's get to the food. Italian food can go 2 ways; authentic or Stouffers grade. Stefano's was authentic! The Spinach and Chicken Manicotti was the best my wife ever had. I had the Chicken Tortellini and it was delicious. The wait was a little long but we'll worth it. After eating there for the first time last weekend, I can see Stefano's being a regular stop for us when we visit Florence. Delizioso! read more

First time the pasta was good accept they didn't rinse the vegetables after cooking them and the water turned the cream sauce to watery, the calzone my wife had was good but the pepperoni they use is spicey as nd they don't say it anywhere my daughter's spag and meatballs were good not a bad visit just a few things could have been done different. read more

Please don't let the partial abandonment of the strip mall fool you. When you get inside the restaurant it looks like an older Olive Garden. The food is way better though, very authentic Italian cuisine. I searched for Italian restaurants in the area and bookmarked this and others. When I stopped at the drugstore we asked one of the clerks who had the best and she immediately said Stefanos. Done deal. I called from the hotel to see if they delivered and could not get through. I was persistent. When I finally got through I ordered veggie pizza no tomatoes, add spinach, along with the broccoli cheese puffs and calamari. The waitress said about 25 minutes. When I got there several people were inside waiting. I asked what their experience was and they all said "you'll love it". They weren't wrong! The pizza had an old Italian flavor and was just as fresh when I got it back to the room. This will be my go to when I go back read more

When I lived in Florence, Stefano's was always a favorite of mine. The lunch specials are great- you get a TON of food and it's super cheap at lunch. You always get a ton of food there, portions are great but it's also high quality food. The salads are delicious and so is the bread to start your meal. I always loved the gnocchi and the pasta, and the veggie pizza (it's a stuffed pizza) is really good too. Customer service is always top-notch too. Stefano's also does a great catering business. I don't get to Florence much to eat it, but today they catered a lunch for my job (I work for a company based in Florence). The catering went well, they arrived on time and we had great food, everyone enjoyed it. Even catered, it was good quality. But I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you're in the Florence area and want a delicious Italian meal. read more

The pizza was one of the best I have ever had. The service was good. We plan to go back next time we are in the area

Great food and service. The New York style pizza is great and the pasta is fresh and good.

Just like you're in New York. Best Italian around. Service was better that your Nonie's house. Homemade bread, dressings, sauces, some pastas, and dessert. Eclairs and cannoli that could make Al Capone smile. read more

The pizza was very good and the steak and cheese sandwich is the best in the Florence area

It is absolutely delicious. The Stromboli, pizza, and cheese steak sub are absolutely delicious. As of now it's closed due to a kitchen fire, but my mother misses it so much that we instead go to Cartoni's in Scranton or Cibo's. The service is as fast as they can possibly get it, and if they say the time then that's what you'll get. It is just amazing Italian food. read more

Stefanos is our favorite place to visit in Florence when we get a chance to. It's vibe is wonderful and service can't be beat. Our waiter Brandon was on point and had the best attitude. The food was hot and fresh. The bread with seasoned dipping oil is the best though! The Tiramisu was amazing as was both our dishes. read more
