Can I give 6 stars? Knowing we were coming to NJ for a visit, my husband and I were looking for an a unique, intimate experience to share with close friends we hadn't seen in far too long. Restaurants are noisy and distracting. Not wanting to lose one of the couples to the burden of cleaning, cooking and serving others, this was the perfect solution. When researching the options and reading the profiles, Stephanie's Elevated Italian comfort food could not have sounded more ideal. Could this be real? Could this beautiful warm women, in this beautiful home truly live up to the hype of her profile? How often does expectation meet reality? Not often, but I am going guess 100% of the time at Stephanie's. Every aspect was met to perfection. The ambience, hospitality and her authentic Southern and Northern Italian cuisine embraced us from the moment we walked through the front door. We indeed enjoyed an elegant 4 course meal, in a peaceful and beautifully curated home, filled with antiques and modern touches. Her meals are truly a celebration of the senses, clearly nurtured with the love and wisdom of her Italian ancestors. The music a perfect background that set the mood. The tableware, linens, all actual heirlooms, each with their own story. The picture on the site, tell the story. This experience is the real deal. Brava Stefania!! Not only is the EATWELL concept absolutely brilliant, but Stephanie knew the assignment. We will absolutely be back! Seriously one of the best dining experiences we've ever had.
