Stellina is widely celebrated for its authentic Italian cuisine and high-quality handmade pasta, with many guests describing their meals as memorable, flavorful, and expertly prepared. While the service is frequently praised for being professional, warm, and attentive, some diners have noted inconsistencies regarding long wait times or occasional lapses in communication. The atmosphere is generally considered cozy and elegant, though several visitors have pointed out that the space can become quite noisy, making conversation difficult. Opinions on pricing and portion sizes are divided, as some feel the experience offers great value for the craftsmanship provided, while others find the menu limited and the portions insufficient.

I keep coming to this place because its simply amazing. The Changing menu always slaps. If you get the tasting menu you really get to taste their best that they have. GET the focaccia with the prosciutto butter, it is simply devine! Ill keep going again & again. Definitely recommend for date & more
Nous avons eu la chance d'essayer le menu découverte & ce fut une expérience absolument parfaite. Chaque plat était préparé avec soin, les saveurs étaient à la fois surprenantes & parfaitement équilibrées. Une cuisine italienne en finesse & gourmande. & que dire du service de Tess 12/10! Je recommande fortement!
OMG!! What a Great Experience!
From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. We were lucky enough to sit right in front of the open kitchen-it felt like the Italian version of Teppanyaki, & it was absolutely captivating!
Watching the chefs in action was a show in itself. Each one was incredibly talented, kind, & passionate about their craft. They not only delivered outstanding Italian dishes, but they also brought so much energy & heart to the experience. Every plate was a masterpiece-flavorful, fresh, & perfectly presented.
Highly recommend grabbing a seat near the kitchen if you can-it adds a whole new layer of enjoyment. We'll definitely be coming back! Bravo to the whole team! 👏🍝🔥

Nous y sommes allés pour l'anniversaire de mon fils & nous avons passé une très belle soirée! La nourriture est excellente, l'ambiance vraiment agréable & que dire du service!!! Notre serveur Ayoub était à notre écoute & nous a très bien conseillé!
Il est vraiment très sympathique!
Grazie mille 😍
Third time coming to Stellina, third time taking the tasting menu & oh my my how delicious it was!!! The service was yet again impeccable! Ayoub took the utmost care of us & made sure everything was to our liking. I will most definitely be coming back! Service can not be beat!
Dinner at Stellina was truly enjoyable. The service was exceptional-professional, warm, & clearly experienced. The staff made us feel welcome & taken care of throughout the evening.
The pasta was outstanding, full of flavor & perfectly cooked. We also loved the fresh bread & well-crafted drinks that complemented the meal nicely. But the real standout was the tiramisu. It was recommended to us, & I'm so glad we took that advice-it was absolutely divine & the perfect way to end the meal.
Stellina is a great spot for anyone who appreciates quality Italian food, thoughtful service, & a cozy, elevated dining atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Always have a great time at Stellina.
The food is delicious, the ambiance is warm & inviting, & the staff is lovely. I often come here to relax after work, but it's also a perfect spot for a cozy date night. I especially loved their burrata & pasta so fresh & flavorful. The dishes also came out quickly, which I really appreciated.
I'm giving 4 stars only because the beef/meat dishes aren't quite to my taste, but that's just personal preference. Overall, I really enjoy this restaurant & highly recommend it :)
