The Sports Chef

Chef Steff earned his “Sports Chef” moniker from years of cooking on camera, and on the sidelines with some of the hottest names in the NFL, PGA, and NBA. Chef Stefano is known throughout the sports community to be a lucky charm for players and coaches from coast to coast, while he shares his ingredients for a delicious life. In person, on TV, on the radio and on-line, Chef loves nothing more than combing his favorite passions…food, family, fun…and “the game.”

It’s not a secret anymore! Stop by Stefano’s Grill opening soon in Dr. Phillips outside Orlando, FL where food is done right. PRIDE and PASSION are the key ingredients to this family style restaurant. From classic Italian specialties such as penne ala vodka to succulent T-bone steaks and fresh seafood, we cook everything from our scratch kitchen to special order.

Chef’s flagship family-restaurant concept began in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A post Monday Night Football favorite of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chef Steff is moving his “Grill” to a new home! It is now a “family favorite” frequented by the many sports celebrities who live in the Orlando area. Chef Stefano is working hard to open his new home in the Dr. Phillips area of Orlando in the near future.

Chef Steff's Features

Desserts:

There is no better way to top off the perfect dinner with a great dessert, and when you visit Stefano’s Grill, make sure you leave room for some of the best-tasting cakes and desserts your palate will ever experience. Baked right on the premises, you must leave room for such delicacies as Coconut Cake (pictured above), a strawberry cake unlike anything you have ever tried before, or traditional Italian desserts like tiramisu.

Appetizers/Salads/Flatbreads:

From his Pittsburgh Fried Zucchini to Mary’s Table Side Chop, when you visit Stefano’s Grill there is something on the menu for everyone, food that leaves you wanting more.  Start your dinner off with a house made sausage, house made meatballs, or a stuffed pepper only the Chef can make. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat, Chef Steff has a variety of flatbread pizzas hot off the stove; and for a great salad experience, ask for Mary’s Table Side Chop. Prepared for you table side, you and your dining partners pick and choose the perfect – and freshest - toppings to create your favorite salad.

Dinner:

Homemade pasta dishes, fresh fish, chicken and big-thick juicy steaks highlight a menu that leaves your mouth salivating for more. Nightly specials, and a healthy-fare are always available. And, if you crave something that’s not on the menu, or want your dinner prepared in a certain way, all you need to do is ask. After all this is Chef Steff’s home, and he wants you to feel at home as well.
