C'est vraiment l'endroit pour manger de bonnes pâtes fraîches. Carte très simple, ambiance bistro, un peu écho, mais très chouette. Prix abordable pour la qualité de nourriture. Essayez le menu découverte, ça vaut la peine d'essayer un peu tout! Je recommande 😊
Another great Italian restaurant in Montreal. Open-kitchen concept. Wow factor high for most dishes. Our server, Felix, added to the experience.
A consistently excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of Old Montreal. The food is always delicious, the service is friendly & professional, & the atmosphere makes it an easy choice for a great evening out.
I've eaten at Stellina at least 10 times so far & it's by far THE BEST Italian food in Quebec!! I am Italian & I own Italian restaurants & outside of a burger or a steak I only eat Italian & Stellina is it!!
The design is the perfect balance incorporating modern design with the rich architectural elements the historic Montreal architecture provides as a base. Well done designer !! 👏👏
The pastas are best described with one word
WOW!!
I'll be back again for sure.
J'ai vraiment tout aimé! L'endroit est cozy & chaleureux à souhait. On se fait accueillir comme des rois. La musique n'est pas trop forte & elle est vraiment bonne. La nourriture était exceptionnelle. Le service hors pair. Les employés sont super amicale mais professionnelle. La serveuse nous donnait des shooter en bar & ce sont les meilleur que j'ai pris depuis longtemps. Franchement pour moi c'est une note parfaite. Je trouve qu'en général bien qu'il y ait quelques exceptions les restos dans le vieux sont surévalué & plus pour les touriste. Celui ci fait partit des exception. Allez y!
Correction : j'y suis retourné 6 mois plus tard (octobre 2025) J'y retournais pour la burrata & les pâtes à la courges en plus de l'ambiance, par contre le menu à changer, les pâtes à la courge ne sont plus là, la burrata non plus & comme les employés ne sont plus les même le service & l'ambiance & le menu ne m'ont pas plu cette fois. Je n'y retournerai malheureusement pas.
What a great food & dining experience!!! We started with the Crostone….amazing. Then shared the Cavatelli & Tagliolini. Such an amazing dinner! Thank you Holden for a wonderful night & the great @whike in Montreal' suggestions.
We ate at the recommendation of the hotel staff, LHotel. Requested to be seated at the chef's table. The menu, the entire staff, from management, to chefs, to wait staff were incredibly engaging, interesting & friendly. The food was truly amazing, the service incredible & watching the chefs was like an intricate ballet. My only sadness was that I was too full to try dessert! One of the best meals ever.
The food & service at Stellina are outstanding. However, the restaurant is a bit noisy which is why I only gave it 4 stars.
I loved Stellina. I am extremely picky with Italian food considering I lived there for an extended period & therefore struggle to find good Italian food outside Italy. I loved that many people in the kitchen were actually speaking Italian, which made me feel like they knew what they were doing, as the cooks & chef themselves were from there. The food was absolutely amazing also. I recommend the tarta di cipolla, pappardelle, tagliatelle al ragù & the crudo entree. I must say that that texture of the panna cotta was not good. It was like a pudding rather than the true flan-esque texture of an authentic italian panna cotta. The taste however was nice. Amazing experience. I will return. Grazie
