    This was our fast time here. I highly recommend trying it. You won't be disappointed. The lunch portions are big. My greek salad was enough for two people. The pizza was enough for at least three people. The service is awesome. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

    We visited Tiu Steppi's for Easter brunch and it did not disappoint. Their brunch menu offers a variety of items including pancakes, which was perfect for my picky toddler. I had the shrimp Alfredo, the pasta was definitely made from scratch in house and melts in your mouth. The shrimp was prepared beautifully and cooked to perfection. The portions are large, so you will definitely have leftovers. The restaurant is in the smaller end so making a reservation is a must especially if you have a larger group.

    Major Old World vibes! The 1920's music set the ambiance and lunch with my colleague was so lifted and cheerful in this place! Service was great and the food was delicious! I didn't even have the space to eat that much food, but it was too delicious to not finish my seafood pasta. I didn't even get the tiramisu to go and it was delicious.

    I must of came on an off night because I didn't get the same level of taste that others say is here. I found the location, and inside to be average. The food while it looks good was ok at best. Those Italian fresh flavors I didn't taste tonight. Service was also ok. So maybe I'll come next time earlier than 8:30.

    I've heard good things about Tiu Steppi's Osteria so I was happy to finally get to try the neighborhood restaurant. They offer a good variety of choices, their pasta was cooked very well and I liked the flavor of the sauce. I ordered a penne pasta dish, nothing extravagant and I tried their sangria. I found that the meal was comparable to most of the other Italian restaurants I've been to. The service was good, but it was quite busy and there didn't seem to be a ton of seating indoors so our table felt a little tight with the other tables around u. The restaurant was decorated with an Italian style and is located in strip so I'm sure their space is limited. I would go back, maybe order something more interesting to get a better feel for their specialties and what sets them apart.

    Ambiance was incredible. My husband and I ate here for Valentine's brunch and had a wonderful server Ciaó Isabella. She was so sweet and professional along with the front desk hostesses. Food was magnifico and bellisimo. Coffee was great will be back soon!

    Best Italian food in San Antonio. The lasagna was amazing!! Great selection of wine. The garlic knots are worth the trip.

    House Special pizza
    Elaine S.

    Tiu Steppi's is a charming Italian restaurant with generous portions and polite service. However, stick to ordering their Italian dishes & stay away from the pizza. The chicken parm is delicious with a hefty serving of pasta. The side salad is quite large. But the House Special 14" pizza was under baked and the toppings were only centered inside about an 8" diameter, not to the crust edges, leaving a large portion without toppings. It was doughy and overly smothered in cheese. I brought the leftovers home so I could bake it longer & add my own ingredients. Our server was on top of clearing plates & drink refills. It's a bit hard to talk because the din is loud in such a small space. I will give it another try but I'll order something different.

    Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella was salty and the risotto was perfect but priced high $35. Service was excellent and location had plenty of parking. There are about three stairs to climb so not wheelchair accessible. Recommend the limonato.

    My friend, Alison's birthday is next week and we wanted to celebrate together. Alison asked me to make a couple of suggestions and she chose @tiusteppissa for lunch today. Both the brunch and dinner menu were available. Eric served us the complimentary garlic knots. Dad and I shared the Beef Lasagna with a house salad. Hubby had the Chicken Marsala with a bowl of chicken gnocchi soup. Alison had the Chicken Piccata. Her Dad, Kong, has the Beef Lasagna with a house salad. I felt the lasagna was a tad bit salty. To sweeten our ending, Eric brought a complimentary Tiramisu for Alison's birthday celebration. I believe they were running short staff today so service slowed down a bit midway through. Overall, the food was good.

    Antipasto
    Kari V.

    Smaller place but great ambiance. If you want somewhere quiet yet with great staff to cater fully to you this is the place. Pro tip: Order a bottle of wine and share. A meal is best with a bottle you can bond over. I like and recommend their Malbecs and Pinot Noirs from the California region. Appetizers are all top notch. I can't help but repeatedly order the Antipasto- adult charcuterie board for those not in the know ;) so many meats, cheeses, honey, fruits, olives and crostinis. I'm typically a fan or the chicken or eggplant parm. The special this week is scallops over fettuccine with a mushroom sauce. Can I get a chefs kiss? Seriously though, this place is the real deal. I've never had a bad meal. The menu is yours to conquer. Don't forget a nice tiramisu or crème brûlée for dessert

    This has become my new fave Italian restaurant in San Antonio! The server was help and walked us through the menu. We had two appetizers and two different pastas, everything was delicious.

    Brunch pancakes
    Patricia G.

    Meatballs are to die for! Forgot to take photos of our appetizer. I ordered their pancakes off the brunch menu and I promise you they will be the best pancakes you have ever eaten. They came with whipped lemon ricotta and a warm fruit compote. I absolutely loved them

They were pretty busy with reservations when we arrived so we sat at the bar. They have happy hour from 3-6 Wednesday- Friday and all day Sunday. They have a separate happy hour menu with bites and a couple different wines. There main menus does consist of wines from multiple regions of the world. They also have wine flights for you to sample new things . My wife and I ordered the meat balls and the cellar cut flat bread . The meat ball's were very tender with excellent flavor and are served with a marinara sauce and ricotta cheese. It's also accompanied by two slices of garlic bread. The Flat bread was a nice portion size for two . It is meant for those who love cheese as the mozzarella and feta are very present. The meat portion could be a bit more for me ( I'm a carnivore). The dough was nice and airy and the flatbread overall was tasty. The feta was a bit too much for my taste. Could have done less. I started with the GSM and my wife with the Cab Sav from happy hour . The GSM was flavorful, a little bold, but a little bitter to me. The Cabernet was very fruity and full bodied . We tried a couple other wines that were spot on. This is a nice place to have wine with friends and bites. It is a nice size and has an excellent atmosphere. Very nice decor and bright. We will be back !

First, we've been going to the Capital grille locations in Dallas for many years and I quit going because of some spotty service issues especially at the Plano location. We have been going to another steakhouse here in San Antonio since we moved here 7 years ago. So, the food was magnificent and delivered in a nicely paced manner. No rush to move us along. My Ceasar salad was okay but not the best I've ever had. My wife had the Beet and goat cheese salad and it was great. We split the 14oz NY dry aged au poivre and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. We also ordered the creamed spinach and Brussel sprouts sides. Both were out of this world great. Especially the sprouts!!! We love their food. Service While it was good overall I do think they could do better. Example: when the food runners came out with the entrees the waiter should be present or shortly after ask if anything else is needed. I really think I shouldn't have to wait 5 minutes to get some sea salt. At J.Primes (our other go to steakhouse), this doesn't happen. My wife's wine order didn't show up for another 10 minutes and this too is annoying. I don't expect perfection but it is noticeable and it's all on the management to train this. You're paying for this level of service and you should expect to receive it. I will return again but they are still "not on the top" of my list.

Kurt and Shelby did a fantastic job serving us. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The general manager (I believe his name is David) stopped by our table to wish her a happy birthday. We shared the bone-in ribeye and sautéed spinach. Very well prepared. The atmosphere was classy, and I was pleasantly surprised at the dress of the customers. Definitely a business casual crowd - I didn't see anyone wearing shorts! They provided a complimentary dessert and the cheesecake and chocolate cake weee very good.

The menu is pricey, which we don't mind when the food is good. The food we had does not justify these prices. The calamari ($16) is obviously cooked from frozen. It's not seasoned and was overcooked. Calamari isn't the most forgiving dish, so we didn't say anything. It was still edible and we were hungry. The marinara sauce wasn't bad. The side salads (one free with entrée, one $6) were your basic bagged salad with one sad slice of tomato and three slivers of shaved carrot. Dressing is not made in house. The bread (free with entrée) was the star. The dipping oil ($5) seemed like the only thing that was actually made from scratch. It was full of chopped garlic and basil with some red pepper flakes. Absolutely delightful. The bread came out fresh. It had a lovely crisp crust and a pillowy soft middle. I could have eaten a whole basket of the bread. I'm not sure if it's baked from frozen, but it was really good. We split the cappellini carciofi entrée ($16 lunch special) that was described as chicken breast sautéed with artichokes, fresh tomatoes and white wine. Served in a lemon sauce over angel hair. What we got was an anemic chicken breast pounded wafer thin that had been stewed in canned tomatoes and artichokes. There no lemon flavor in the sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sauce just tasted like oil. The whole dish had a metallic taste that made us instantly stop eating bc it just tasted off. At that point we were over it. We had been willing to overlook the disappointing calamari, if the main dish had been great, but it was worse. Our server was very nice, but for some reason when apologizing for the bread taking longer to come out, decided to say she was baking it fresh so it "wouldn't get salmonella, because there'd been so many outbreaks". My husband and I looked at each other like. "huh? What are you doing with bread to risk salmonella?" and why would you mention salmonella right before bringing me chicken dish?!? Weird. When advised we didn't like the dish, she was very kind and got the manager. The manager did offer to bring us something else but we were already so turned off, we just wanted to go. She did bring us some more bread to go with the dipping oil that we asked to take home which was a nice touch. I don't know if we will go back. Some of the pics and reviews make me think maybe we just got the wrong thing or went on an off day.
