This is the perfect spot for a quiet romantic dinner date night. The service was amazing and waiters were very pleasant. We had the asparagus bundles as our appetizer which were super flavorful. Their filet mignon was perfectly cooked (medium/rare), super tender and tasty. Then to end the evening, we went with the tiramisu and classic panna cota for dessert. Both were pleasantly de-li-cious! Yumz!

Delicious steak dinner. Good portion sizes. Went to celebrate my retirement and happy with food, service and ambiance. Wait staff was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Expensive but worth it. I didn't have room for dessert but had a spoonful of icecream in a chocolate shell and it was yummy!

Best NY Strip steak I've ever had! Must try steakhouse! If you're looking for Peter Luger, (Peter Lugar if misspelled) this is an incredible option. Easy to get a table, they serve food at bar at night. Owner is often there and his son is the manager, not just an amazing steakhouse but family owned and operated. The creamed spinach here is excellent as well! So if you are looking for a steakhouse in Brooklyn or a steakhouse in New York, you have to try!

DeStefano was highly recommended and we were completely satisfied with our dinner! The porterhouse steak for two was cooked perfectly and delicious! Awesome drinks too! We would definitely return when we're in Williamsburg. Also very impressed with how clean and spotless this restaurant is! The owner and staff are doing an amazing job in keeping this old town restaurant well maintained and in business since 1919!

Best place to take your wife great atmosphere owner and staff are great and awesome with people who have disabilities

Still one of my faves. This visit I branched out and finally tried the pork chop and it was chef's kiss. It was flavorful, crusty and the perfect temperature. We always get the wedge - their blue cheese dressing is so good, and the creamed spinach. We always leave happy and full.

This is the greatest steakhouse in wall of New York City do not be fooled!!! Come and be absolutely awestruck be sure to have one of the incredible side cars which are like an elixir of God !!!

Went for the steak, left knowing that if I ever returned it would be for that glorious pork chop It's dark, it's old school, it's straight forward, the steak wasn't what I thought it would be l, and the porkchop was absolutely next level!

My partner and I came here for my birthday a few weeks ago and I am *so* so glad we did. It was a Tuesday night and the ambiance was perfect: not too hectic, but definitely not empty, and it got much busier toward the end of our meal. First, I just have to say that the service is some of the absolute best in NYC. We had a reservation to come after doing a spa day nearby, but we wound up showing up maybe half an hour early and the servers immediately seated us anyway, accommodating the request I'd made in my reservation to sit in a corner (I find it easier to talk). Everyone was just the right amount of attentive--nobody was to intense or checking in on us too much, but they also made sure our every need was taken care of, including the table being quickly and quietly cleaned up as needed. They also drew "happy birthday" on the plate for our desserts, which they very kindly comped off our bill. Also! Neither my partner or I drink, and you can kind of tell when restaurants are a little disappointed if everyone's ordering nonalcoholic drinks, but that absolutely was not the case here--a subtle thing that's actually really meaningful. The food itself is fantastic. A steak was perfectly cooked, the sides were all amazing (spinach and potato wedges), and we had a fantastic iceberg wedge salad, too. If there's one starter I can recommend more than anything, though, it's the sweet and spicy bacon. It is...just unreal. Both of us couldn't stop remarking on how incredible it was (and it went perfectly with the salad, too). We live in a different part of Brooklyn that isn't easily accessible from the North BK area, which is why we rarely come to Williamsburg or the surrounding areas, but before even finishing our meal, we were already talking about how can't wait to come back. DeStefano's is a fantastic spot for birthdays, groups, and dates, and I'm sure it'd even be wonderful solo--a true gem.
