Typical Greece Tavern - FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS We had one of the best lamb chop we ever had. We ordered the meat twice, because was so good. There is a huge wood-fire grill where the meat and vegetables is cooked on the spot, and you can taste the difference. Highly recommend, we were impressed.

Fantastic quality food, really enjoyable. Restaurant got very hot and smokey from the kitchen towards the end of the evening meant we left in a rush rather than having one for the road. Certainly will be back though

Parkstones hidden gem. Hit and miss midweek if they will be open so worth giving a call to book. Saturday's can be busy. Nice touches with free appetizers. Nice selection of starters. Pitta breads are perfect served warm. Mains are tasty, especially the liver!! Recommended.

A wonderful meal and a great dining experience. Weve been to Stefanos several times before and have never come away dissapointed. The food was fantastic and the ambiance is welcoming and friendly with an attentive staff. We had a shared Mezze starter which was generous and tasty. Great to dig in and share as a family. For mains we had the Kleftiko which was so tender and moreish. The lamb was beautifully cooked. The Paidakia which was beautifully seasoned and the Moussaka which was one of the best we have ever tasted. For dessert we shared a baklava and a kataifi which were beautifuly made, sticky sweet and a great way to finish off a beautiful meal. Cannot reccomend this restaurant highly enough. We will be back soon.

Another fabulous meal at Stefano's. We don't get to visit very often but when we do we are always delighted. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is great too. This is one of the best Greek restaurants we have ever visited and is the closest to the food we love when we go to Greece. We will definitely be visiting again the next time we are in Poole.

My friend and I came to try Greek food as a change from normal British food! What a fantastic change!!! Beautiful freshly cooked food with amazing flavours. The food was cooked and served by a lovely Greek couple who also explained anything we didn't understand on the menu. We both enjoyed every mouthful and will be happy to visit again soon. 10 out of 10 for food, service, atmosphere. We loved it, thank you.

An amazing Greek experience. Food was fantastic. The calamari was probably the best I've had. The house wine was excellent. Highly recommend. Very authentic decor. It would appear a husband and wife team. He serves and she cooks. 10/10 Will definitely be back for more.

Authentic Greek food, from an independent family run restaurant. It's like being invited to dinner at the owner's house. His wife is a great cook, he's a great host and he will even teach you to play the guitar when you're done! Please support this local restaurant and ensure little hidden treasures like this survive and thrive. Great evening and we'll be back really soon.
