My party of 3 arrived around 7 on a Friday night and we're seating in about 10-15 minutes. It was a…read morebusy night, there wasn't an open space at the bar, so we were so thankful to be seated without reservations. The interior is nicely decorated, and for a smaller (than most) restaurant on a busy Friday night, we got our food and drinks pretty quickly. I ordered the Caesar salad with steak - I ordered medium well but got it well done, but the added my cooked onions to the meal and I was content. My mom and aunt ordered the short rib and they enjoyed their dishes. This is a cute place to catch up with friends, go on a date, or bring the little ones. Happy this is in the area!

I have been here twice and had a very good experience both times. This is a strong neighborhood…read morespot with a broad menu and something for everyone. There are plenty of options for food, beer, wine, and cocktails, which makes it easy for groups. Service was exceptional on both visits. Friendly, attentive, and well paced without feeling rushed. That stood out and made both meals more enjoyable. Inside, the setup is comfortable and casual with a lively but manageable atmosphere. It is a good place for a meal or just drinks. The Stones is located right in downtown Stoneham and has easy off street parking, which is a plus. On my visits, I had the cheeseburger flatbread once and a steak the other time. Both were good. When I have been in others ordered the salmon, cheeseburger, and Cobb salad, and everything looked solid. No complaints from anyone. Overall, this is a reliable and easy place to come back to. Good food, strong service, and a setting that works for a range of occasions. I would come back anytime.

A local favorite in Stoneham. We got there early and thank goodness cause this place fills up fast…read more Service was amazing. Drink orders taken, then food. The appetizers were fantastic. Especially the home made biscuits. These were amazing. Hot, flaky, very much home made with a maple butter that is sinful. Entrees were mushroom tortellini and eggplant parm. Both portions were large and delicious. Very classic red sauce restaurant. For dessert it was limoncello cake and tiramisu. Both, light and tasty. If you want to stay local and have good Italian food, with a very nice ambiance, then this is the place. FYI -- park behind the building, there's plenty of free space and take the elevator up. And do make a reservation.

We started our evening in the outdoor dining area as the main dining room is a bit loud and it was a beautiful warm evening with the sun starting to set as we arrived. We salivated over the drinks menu but decided not to imbibe and save our use of calories for later. We started with the Stuffed Mushrooms, which were 5 large mushroom caps stuffed with a meatball like stuffing. They were really yummy and somehow escaped into our bellies before I could get a picture. Whoops. For entrees, we ordered the Pasta Louise (penne with chicken, artichoke hearts, and more n a creamy sauce) and Steak Pasta (penne with thin slices of steak, feta, and a light dressing). Both were delicious. The Pasta Louise is popular for a good reason - it is full of flavor and definitely worth ordering again! The steak pasta was good with a much milder flavor profile. The ingredients for everything tasted fresh. The only disappointment was the bread and butter which was a white scali-style bread with little plastic butter packets; I prefer dipping olive oil and spices with a heartier bread. The service was prompt, personal, and friendly. The main indoor space is a bit loud for my taste, so I will prefer to go again when I know I can sit at one of the pleasant outdoor tables. Of the many Italian restaurants in the area, this has been here for decades with good reason - they have a solid business. Enjoy!

We had a great experience last time so we decided let's get pizza for lunch! Unfortunately we were…read morea little disappointed. The pizza was fine but not as good as the one we had last time. Plenty of toppings and cheese but the flavor was flat. The meatball sub was solid. The meatball is very meaty, a great stand alone meatball. I should've added provolone cheese, it would've put it over the top. The marinara was really good thought. Getting the sauce on the side allowed it to travel well (even though it was only a 10 min drive, the bread would've been too soggy by the time we got it back home if it was pre-sauced). When inside I thought it was odd the menu displays didn't provide prices unless I missed it somewhere. We ordered from the pizzeria online so it didn't matter for our order, but an interesting observation. (See pictures)

Last night, I came here with a friend for dinner. I got the chicken piccata over pasta which was…read moredelicious! Generous portion and the sauce was excellent.
