" Dining at Stella was a lovely experience. Our server was delightful and made great recommendations. I opted for the seafood pasta, which was fresh and well-prepared. The only issue I had was that the dish was slightly salty for my taste. The atmosphere was enjoyable, but it did get a bit noisy as the night went on. Overall, I appreciate the effort they put into their food and service. Would consider revisiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stella has been my go-to place for Italian cuisine since I discovered it! The truffle gnocchi is a must-try, and the portions are just right. I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients; you can really taste the difference. The staff is always friendly, and they remember my favorite dishes! The ambiance, especially when dining outdoors, is perfect for summer evenings. Occasionally, I’ve had to wait for a table, but it's always worth it! An excellent choice for anyone craving authentic Italian dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Stella after hearing rave reviews, and I wasn't disappointed! The atmosphere had a lovely Italian charm, which set the perfect tone for our meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the osso buco, which was cooked to perfection and fell off the bone. The meatballs, as recommended, were delicious as well. The staff was friendly, but I noticed they seemed a bit rushed; a couple of times, we had to ask for drink refills. All in all, I would still highly recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much buzz about Stella, I finally made it there, and it didn’t disappoint! I went in for lunch and had their gnocchi—which was a favorite from many reviews—and it truly was delicious. Light, fluffy, and tossed in the perfect amount of sauce. The service was prompt, making it an ideal lunch spot. The only negative was that the restaurant was quite busy, and the noise level was high, making it slightly difficult to hold a conversation. Nonetheless, I will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family tried Stella for a special occasion, and it was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel special. The food was delicious; I particularly enjoyed their seafood pasta, which was packed with flavor. The portion sizes were generous and satisfying. The lively atmosphere added to our enjoyment of the evening. The only downside was that it took a while for our desserts to arrive, but it was still worth the wait. We will be back for sure!

" We had a decent meal at Stella last week. The restaurant has a charming ambiance and attentive service. I had the winter squash ravioli, which was tasty but a bit too rich for my palate. The portion sizes were generous, so I ended up taking some home. While my initial experience was solid, I think the flavors could be improved upon for authenticity. Overall, a nice night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Stella for a quick dinner last week, and I was very impressed! The ambiance is inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly. I ordered the orecchiette, which had a wonderful sauce and came with fresh vegetables. The only drawback was that my meal took a while to arrive, but the server was apologetic and kept checking in on me. The price was reasonable for the quality of food. I’ll definitely return to try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
