Review Summary

Stellina is widely celebrated for its exceptional, authentic Italian cuisine, with many diners highlighting the high-quality fresh pasta, creative tasting menus, and standout desserts like the tiramisu. The open kitchen concept and professional, friendly service frequently enhance the dining experience, making it a popular destination for dates and celebrations. While the majority of guests report memorable visits characterized by attentive hospitality and flavorful dishes, some feedback notes inconsistencies such as over-salted pasta, small portion sizes, or occasional service lapses. The atmosphere is generally described as warm and inviting, though some diners find the noise levels to be high and the pricing to be on the premium side for the value offered.

8 raviolis dans le fond de mon assiette, 1 pauvre petit morceau de pain & une bière = 55$ auquel on nous impose un minimum de 18% de pourboire. Soyons clairs: ils ne me reverront plus

I visited with a friend who was in town, & we were craving Italian food. It was my first time here. The restaurant looks cute & chic, reservations were easy to make (likely helped by it being Super Bowl night), & the atmosphere was calm with great Italian music. There's also a coat check, which is always appreciated.

The staff were genuinely very kind & attentive throughout the evening. The menu is small but seasonal. I started with the winter melon salad, which was excellent - fresh, creamy, & surprisingly filling.

Unfortunately, the crab risotto was disappointing. It was undercooked, which was a letdown as risotto is one of my favorite dishes & something you expect an Italian restaurant to master. That said, the manager handled the situation very professionally: they removed the dish, apologized, & invited me to choose something else. I opted for the tuna crudo, which was great.

They also offered us dessert. I was hesitant about the tiramisu (in Montréal, not all places get it right), but it turned out to be very good. I did suggest serving it in a different cup so the flavors could be more evenly enjoyed.

Overall, the experience was positive thanks to the excellent service & atmosphere, even though some dishes were uneven. I'm not in a rush to return, but I would be open to trying the menu again in a different season.

Nina quel service & wow la nourriture un autre niveau

On avait repéré ce restaurant près du nouvel appartement de mon copain & nous avons décidé d'y aller ce soir. J'ai été largement déçue. Les portions ne sont pas suffisantes & le goût est correct, mais sans plus. C'est un restaurant italien qui n'offre pas de pain avec le plat, à moins de payer 8 $ ou plus pour une focaccia. Le personnel n'est pas non plus passé avec le moulin à poivre ou le parmesan.

La carte des vins est excellente & mon cocktail était très bien. En revanche, le plat de mon conjoint était légèrement trop salé. Globalement, c'est beaucoup trop cher pour ce qui est offert. Personnellement, je n'y retournerai pas.

Belle expérience, la nourriture (entrées, repas & desserts) était excellente & le service très bon! La musique est quand même assez forte, c'est peut-être la table où on était.
