Stefano's has been part of Muri's food scene for many years - first as mainly a takeaway with just a couple of tables and more recently as an intimate, licensed Italian restaurant.

After two weeks of seafood, lamb, and beef, we were looking for a nice change and found it at Stefano's. Our hosts at the Sea Change Villas recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed. It has an intimate ambience and is owned and operated by a very cordial Italian couple. The husband cooks and the wife serves. We started... More

In some ways it was incongruous to find a genuine Italian trattoria on a south sea island, but I am glad it was there. My wife and I shared a pasta meal in an intimate setting (just seven tables). we received a very warm welcome and were imnpressed with our hostesses ability to repeat the answer to the inevitable questions...

4 of us had dinner here one night - the food was very nice - lovely fresh pasta with great sauces. Wine list left a little to be desired but I would definitely go back there again.

Our family enjoyed a lovely evening at Stefanos. The food was authentic and tasty. Only down side is a slight lack of atmosphere and a smallish menu range.
