" I stumbled across Stella while searching for Italian restaurants online and decided to try it. The chicken parm blew me away, as it wasn't overloaded with sauce but had just the right amount. The owner made a point to check in on us, which was a nice touch. Portions were generous, too. A solid choice when in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an excellent dinner at Stella. The owner, Evan, made sure we felt welcome and was attentive throughout our meal. I ordered the spaghetti squash bolognese, which was undeniably the best I've had! The garlic bread side is a must-try as well. I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients. My only complaint was that the seating was a bit tight, but the food made it all worthwhile. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant visit to Stella with some friends. The atmosphere is definitely cozy, but it can get a little cramped when it’s busy. We ordered a variety of dishes, and the highlight for me was the Chicken Parm. It was juicy and flavor-packed, just how it should be! While the service was friendly, it did slow down slightly during peak hours. Nevertheless, I would recommend trying this restaurant if you're in the mood for Italian. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Stella with a group. The food was great and authentically Italian! The moment we entered, the staff made us feel special, explaining each dish with passion. My chicken Milanese was exactly how I like it—crispy but juicy. This has become my go-to Italian restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Stella was one of those delightful experiences where everything falls into place. The food was exceptional—definitely authentic. I had the meatballs which just melted in my mouth, and paired with the arugula salad, it was a fabulous combo! The service was friendly and prompt, and despite the tight space, I felt welcomed and enjoyed my time. Will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has topped my list for Italian food! I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp fettuccine—just the right amount of garlic and herbs. The entire dinner was wonderfully flavorful, leaving me wanting more. The vibe felt very neighborhood-ly and intimate, which made it special. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves good Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)
