" If you’re searching for authentic Italian cuisine, Stella might not fully meet your expectations. My visit was pleasant, the food was good, but I felt a hint of fusion rather than pure Italian flavors. Service was decent, the ambiance was warm and inviting. If you're open to non-traditional Italian dishes, you may enjoy what they offer. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stella has become one of my favorite places! The pizza is consistently excellent, always fresh and the atmosphere makes me feel at home. Though service can be a tad slower during peak hours, the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. I’m a fan of their pepperoni pizza. Perfect for pizza lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem! Stella's food is fresh and flavorsome. The pasta dishes have depth, and the gnocchi was perfectly prepared, pairing well with their excellent sauces. The service staff was professional and friendly. Although it was busy, I never felt neglected. An excellent choice for a filling meal; definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Stella was quite nice overall. The restaurant has a very charming setup, especially the decor. The food was tasty, but I think they could work on keeping it authentic. The dessert was fabulous; we had the chocolate cake which was rich and scrumptious. I would likely come back for the ambiance and dessert alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful meal at Stella! Their pizzas are the highlight; we tried a few varieties and couldn’t get enough. The decor is lovely and adds to the dining experience. The service could be a bit faster, but it was friendly. Perfect for gatherings with friends and family; we'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
