Review Summary

Stellina is widely praised for delicious Italian cooking and attentive service, with many tasting menus and pasta described as outstanding, fresh handmade noodles and well balanced flavors, and the open kitchen adds a showy and engaging touch; the atmosphere is warm and lively, and the staff are friendly and professional, making visits memorable, especially for date nights or small gatherings, with tiramisu and burrata frequently highlighted as standout items; however several reviews flag small portions, high prices, a limited menu, and occasional inconsistencies such as undercooked pasta or over salted dishes, and some noise and a few service hiccups during busy times; overall Stellina is seen as a strong, must try Italian option in the city, delivering quality pasta and memorable dining experiences even as some visits feel rushed or pricey.

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.

I recommend to ask to sit by the kitchen bar. It's a dinner & a show in one. The chef's are simply amazing & entertaining. The food is flavourful & portions are decent. We tried the $80 tasting menu & the server picked out some great choices. The ravioli & the pasta with cream sauce & 36 month old aged parmesan is to die for....all the antipasto choices he gave us were incredible. They have such a passion to make you a great meal & bring an authentic atmosphere & recipes to the table. Bravo & I will definitely be going again before I leave Montreal.

Finally a place in Montreal that knows how to serve homemade pasta & have an original menu. This place reminds me of Italy, everything is handmade & the dishes are extremely delicious. The cocktails were really good, & the ambiance is amazing. To the owners & staff, you’ve outdone yourselves. This place is severely underrated & is a must try for a date night out in Montreal!
