" As an Italian food lover, I was excited to try Cafe Stella. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was decent, with a hint of authenticity, though I've had better. The service was pretty decent as well, but I’m not sure I’ll be back after I recently found better pizza elsewhere. I think there’s potential; perhaps they could focus more on simplifying their dishes for a more authentic taste. That said, the ambiance was inviting. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! This hidden gem is an Italian restaurant that serves superb pasta. The homemade spaghetti paired with meat sauce was heavenly! The wait staff was attentive and genuinely friendly. I also enjoyed the refreshing homemade lemonade. The atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant, and I could see myself spending more evenings here. Highly recommend making a reservation as it was quite popular! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to celebrate a special occasion at Cafe Stella after hearing so many good things. While the ambiance was delightful and vibrant, the food did not live up to the expectations set by previous reviews. The pesto pasta lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for, and the portion was smaller than anticipated for the price. However, the service was lovely, and the staff were very polite which is commendable. I might give it another shot, focusing on different menu items next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Stella was a fantastic choice for our family dinner! We enjoyed a variety of dishes and everyone left satisfied. The kids loved the spaghetti and meatballs, while the adults feasted on homemade ravioli and garlic bread. Each dish showcased the fresh ingredients and careful preparation. The highlight had to be the cannolis for dessert—they were light, creamy, and the perfect end to the meal. Service was attentive, and the overall environment felt very welcoming. I’d be thrilled to return again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Stella is a charming place with great vibes. The food served is generally good, but I’ve had better. I tried the butternut squash ravioli, expecting a richer flavor, but I found it a bit bland. Service was friendly but a little slow. The atmosphere made up for it as it was cozy and welcoming. I would probably return and try a different dish next time to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" The pasta flavor was nice but sadly overcooked. I was really looking forward to a pleasant evening here, given all the reviews, but it fell short. The garlic bread was good, but just average. Service was okay. I wish the pasta had been firmer as I prefer a bit of bite to my noodles. I might try again, but it'll take some convincing. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is amazing! I've been to Italy and the homemade pasta here really brought back memories of my travels. I ordered the pappardelle, and it was perfectly cooked with a savory ragu. The ambiance is lovely too, especially in the evenings when the patio is lit up. The staff trained excellently; our server was knowledgeable and friendly, which enhanced our dining experience significantly. Consider visiting during off-peak hours to enjoy a quieter meal. You won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)
