Welcome to Stefano's Family Restaurant and Bar - a place where good food, hard work, and family traditions come together. Located in Englewood, Fl, Stefano's has been part of the community for more than 40 years. Longtime locals may remember when the restaurant was known as The Golden Grill, but the spirit has always been the same - generous portions, homemade food, and a welcoming place where everyone feels like family.
In 2020, Stefano's began a new chapter when Landi Kodra and his wife Diana became the latest owners. Originally from Albania, the Kodras bring a strong sense of family, hospitality, and work ethic to everything they do. Landi has spent more than 20 years in the restaurant industry, most recently in New York City where he owned a thriving restaurant. After years in the business, Landi and Diana were ready to build something more in Florida - a place where guests are treated like neighbors and every meal is made with care.
Diana and Landi are the proud parents of three daughters - Eleni (15), Elisa (10), and Eliana (9). Stop by on a Sunday and you'll often see members of the family all helping to pitch in - even the youngest!
Like much of the community, Stefano's has weathered difficult times - including Hurricane's Milton and Ian, but the spirit of Englewood remains strong. Whether you're a longtime Englewood resident, visiting the beaches for the first time, or returning for the winter season, Stefano's is a place where you'll always feel welcome.
From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our story.
