Review Summary

Reviews describe Stella Brasserie Italienne as a busy downtown spot near the Place des Arts with a lively atmosphere and generally friendly, attentive service, well suited for pre show dinners or drinks at the bar. The food and drinks can be hit or miss, with many praising pizzas, pasta and cocktails when executed well, generous portions and good wine, but others reporting underseasoned or cold dishes, overcooked desserts, or dishes that seemed rushed or not up to price. Some guests note slow service during events or inconsistent kitchen timing, along with comments about higher prices and limited beer variety, which can disappoint. Nevertheless, the location, ambiance and overall dining experience keep coming up as positives, and several reviews encourage booking ahead to secure a table and to enjoy the energy before or after a show.

Un endroit aussi chaleureux que délicieux. Stella est la petite perle de la place des arts : les mets sont copieux & exquis, sans parler du personnel, aussi gourmand que les plats. Nous avons été accueillies par l'amical Michael, aussi drôle que serviable. Par la suite, nous avons eu la chance de goûter aux cocktails raffinés d'Alex, le barman charismatique du restaurant. Notre serveuse, la charmante Aurore, nous a été de très bon conseil, notamment sur la carte des vins. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter ! Un grand merci à l'équipe pour son hospitalité, nous avons passé une merveilleuse soirée.

Il manque de variété de bières pour pouvoir porter le nom Brasserie. C'est le point qui m'a déçu. L'accueil était courtois. Belle vu sur les activités extérieures.

Charming location. Staff is friendly & welcoming. Food was horrible. Carpaccio with too but way too many sun dried tomatoes. The parsnips puree was way but way too sweet. The pizza my spouse took was very good though. The foccacia did not have the texture of a foccacia. Too dense to call it a foccacia. The dessert was some sort of lava cake. Baked for too long, no lava inside. Food was very dissapoing to say the least. We are happy we tried, we wanted to like it as we live close by but not going back there. They need to get a chef that tastes the food before letting this out.

Réservation à 17:30, déjà 3 items non disponibles sur la carte. On commande une entrée & les plats principaux. Ils nous apportent les plats principaux après quelque minutes, & aucune entrée (elle n'a pas été préparée). On laisse tomber l'entrée. La pizza a du fromage Fior di Latte non fondu encore froid & ce qui semble être des champignons en conserve.

The stuffed meatball was excellent. The flavor was incredible. The tiramisu was delicious.

The restaurant was packed, actually there were way too many diners at the time. Because of the lack of space, we were seated at the bar. The service was excellent & the bar tender was very attentive. I ordered the mussels in wine sauce, which tasted okay, but were simply bland & overly filled with sliced onions. The dish was in need of garlic & seasoning, that was very apparent.

Unfortunately, I ended up with food poisoning & was up all night & half of the next day after dealing with a very upset stomach. The mussels themselves had to be off as I noticed a good amount that were closed.

It was a disappointing experience given that the service is indeed excellent.

Service très sympathique, mais nourriture décevante. Les raviolis n'étaient pas chauds, le pain du hamburger était mouillé, car la sauce était trop abondante, les frites étaient froides & le brownie était sec. Bref, nous n'y retournerons pas.

Wow, what an experience! The place was super busy, but we were sat immediately. Our server was attentive & kind. The food was delicious & arrived quickly. I enjoyed a mocktail that was so delicious I still think about it.

Disappointed in my experience here. I was here for lunch with colleagues (7 people). The restaurant was not busy, only another group around the same size as us, & another couple. The food was not very good; my entire table got the set menu lunch special. The soup starter had too much goat cheese & was lukewarm. We had to eat the soup fast because it was getting cold fast. Half of us got the calzone pizza which was mostly burnt on the under side. The other half of us got the shrimp pasta which was way too salty. I got my main meal over 5 minutes after everyone else got there meal. I had to constantly wave someone down & ask for water, even though the restaurant was not busy & staff were just standing around talking not doing anything. The price per meal is very high, & I can only assume it is because of the location & not the quality of the food.

Stella Brasserie Italienne is a true downtown Montréal gem, perfectly located for anyone catching an evening show (Quartier des Spectacles).

We booked a table for 2 people sort of last minute on a busy Thursday, & given the place was packed, we happily accepted bar seats. It turned out to be the best decision! The moment I sat down, I was greeted by Maxime, the barman, who was incredibly courteous & very friendly. He instantly prepared a delicious craft cocktail & offered flawless service throughout the night. The food was just as exceptional. The pizzas were truly phenomenal; the difference is in the details: the dough was perfect, the sauce was tasty & fresh, & the ingredients were top-tier. Stella Brasserie Italienne has that perfect combination of electric energy, great location, a top-notch staff, & seriously delicious Italian menu.

We'll absolutely be back! Highly recommend booking your future pre-show dinner here.

Groupe de 14 personnes, nous avons été servi assez rapidement sur l'heure du midi.
Les pizzas sont excellentes, la croute est divine, la focaccia excellente aussi. Le plat de pâte du jour était également très bon.
La table d'hôte le midi est à 32$ pour plat + entrée ou dessert du jour.
Les portions d'entrée & dessert sont généreuses. Peut-être moins généreux pour les ravioles, à améliorer, mais tout était très bon & le service agréable!

A comida é boa, mas o preço está superfaturado. O atendimento fois excelente! Para evitar filas e escolher sua mesa, chegue cedo.

Très bon, même si je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé la déco (comme l'ancien Galaxy). Menu fort intéressant & service sympa. Toutefois je n'aime vraiment pas voir un restaurateur se servir d'un appareil de paiement mobile qui propose un pourboire à partir de 18%... Je sais très bien que nous pouvons mettre le montant que nous voulons, mais je n'aime pas...
