Review Summary

Reviews about Stellina consistently praise fresh handmade pastas, flavorful Italian dishes, and attentive service within a warm, open kitchen atmosphere. The vibe is described as chic yet cozy, with a lively but sometimes noisy dining room and a simple, seasonally driven menu that shines with burrata, focaccia, crostone, ravioli, carbonara, tagliatelle and tiramisu; the tasting menu and wine pairings are frequently highlighted as excellent ways to sample the kitchen’s best. While many diners rate the food as outstanding and the service as friendly and professional, some visits note uneven dish execution, with undercooked or overly salty items, and portions that feel small for the price. Occasional service gaps or rushed pacing are mentioned, along with higher price points relative to the value perceived by a few guests. Overall Stellina is regarded as a standout Italian dining option in Montreal, favored for its fresh pasta, engaging atmosphere, and consistently strong kitchen craft, even as a handful of visits warn that experiences can vary.

3.5 stars Let's start with the service, the waitress was amazingly nice & patient with us. She took the time to give explanations & her recommandations. As for the atmosphere, it feels very elegant & cozy, we loved the whole decor. For the food, the pasta are homemade on the spott, & it really shows. However the price to portion ratio was not satisfying for us. I ordered the agnolotti for 35$ & I had about 10 pasta in my plate, & the food was not hot. I understand that we pay for freshness & quality, but the portion just was very deceiving for me. However, my friends ordered the lobster pasta & that portion was rather reasonable for 2 persons (it was meant to be shared), but it was 40$ per person. So the food was good, but nothing out of the extraordinary. There are better italian places in Montréal which are more worth the price.

**Stellina: A Taste of Authentic Italy in Montreal** Nestled in the vibrant culinary landscape of Montreal, Stellina stands out as a delightful haven for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of fresh herbs & simmering sauces transports you straight to the heart of Italy. **Food: 4.5/5** Stellina boasts a menu that captures the essence of Italian flavors, & the dishes served during my lunch visit did not disappoint. The pasta was cooked to perfection, & the sauces were rich & full-bodied. The simplicity & authenticity of the ingredients shone through, creating a memorable dining experience. However, the menu, while delightful, could benefit from a touch more variety. **Service: 5/5** The service at Stellina is impeccable. Attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable, the staff contributed significantly to the overall positive experience. Recommendations were spot-on, & the pace of the meal was well-managed, allowing us to savor each course. **Ambiance: 3.5/5** While the restaurant's interior exudes a cozy & intimate atmosphere, the noise level during lunch was notably high. The clatter of dishes & the hum of conversation made it challenging to engage in a quiet tête-à-tête. If you prefer a more serene dining experience, an evening visit might be more suitable. **Overall Experience: 4/5** Stellina is undoubtedly a gem for those seeking an authentic Italian dining experience in Montreal. The flavorful dishes & top-notch service make it a standout choice for any food enthusiast. While the noise level during lunch was a minor drawback, it did not overshadow the overall positive impression left by Stellina. For an Italian culinary journey that feels like a trip to the heart of Rome, Stellina is a must-try in the Montreal restaurant scene.

Great Italian fine dining. Did experience quite long wait times, but the food & drinks were lovely. Winner of the meal was dessert. Tiramisu!
