Stefano's Mildura

This was our third visit  to Stefano's and once again it was brilliant...Food, service and atmosphere were amazing...

We sat down and they brought out their hand made bread with a bowl of olives....probably sensational olives but we didn't eat the olives as neither of us like them.... they came back around and asked if everything was ok, we said sorry we don't like olives..... they were whisked off the table and replaced with roasted capsicum and basil in no time flat....

We had the 5 course option they also had a 2 and 3 course option....5 courses was $95 per person...

Had to photograph the people on the next tables dessert as we were talking to them when our's came and started eating eat as we were talking...oopsie...

The restaurant is in a old cellar  it is really dark down there, my handbag was against the wall, when I picked it up it was so wet...I hadn't noticed but our side had water coming down the wall...my handbag was laying in it...hopefully it will be dry after hanging out all night...

Would go again in a heartbeat....the waiter was Stefano's son, he was brilliant...got talking to him and told him the first time we went he was colouring while his Dad worked...he did have a laugh at that...made us feel old though...

1st course was buffalo mozzarella with pappa al pomodoro ( I think that is right, it's tomato, olive oil, day old bread, basil, garlic and onion), handmade grissini and a slice of something...gave that to Greg as I don't like pork...It was so nice could have eaten another plate full...

Crab souffle with a bechamel sauce...so delicate, it just melted in your mouth...

Hand made pasta with eggplant and goats cheese...

The main was lamb with potato and beans...so good...

Lemon panna cotta...the one we got had a almond biscotti on top...

Chocolate cannoli and ricotta cannoli

Greg's port at the end of the meal, he didn't drink the bottle, after they poured his glass there was only a little bit left so they left the bottle for him to finish it...
