DeStefano's welcome you and yours to what we hope will become your "neighborhood home away from home." It is with great pride and pleasure to serve nothing but the best of what life has to offer and to share with our guests a piece of Brooklyn's history, as well as our own. DeStefano's was established as a tribute to the DeStefano family and all those families that made the borough of Brooklyn and the Williamsburg community a great place to live. Our goal is to pay homage to the simple values of faith, family, and friends that are evidenced by the strong sense of unity in the Williamsburg community. DeStefano's has expanded our dinner menu to include many of the dishes you requested. Our dinner menu now includes an 8oz Kobe Burger, Native Lobster Ravioli, Chicken DeMadelena and Caesar Salad. Come try for yourself the best steakhouse in NY!
