Les avis sur Stellina peignent une expérience italienne raffinée et chaleureuse, avec des pâtes fraîches préparées sur place et un open kitchen qui ajoute du spectacle, tandis que le cadre cosy et l'ambiance animée facilitent les dîners entre amis ou en couple. La nourriture est majoritairement saluée pour sa fraîcheur et son goût authentique, avec des plats-chouchou comme les pâtes et le tiramisu fréquemment cités comme incontournables; certains apprécient aussi des entrées comme le crudo et des focaccias maison. Le service est globalement décrit comme attentif et professionnel, bien que quelques expériences aient manqué de cohérence ou que le niveau sonore soit élevé. Certains plats déçoivent parfois par une cuisson insuffisante, une sur-salaison ou des portions plus modestes pour le prix, et certains estiment que le menu est trop limité ou que le rapport qualité-prix peut être discuté. Malgré ces nuances, Stellina est régulièrement présenté comme une adresse à ne pas manquer pour les amateurs de pâtes et de cuisine italienne à Montréal, associant une carte saisonnière à une ambiance élégante mais décontractée.
We had a delicious meal last Saturday night. Beautiful restaurant with very attentive service. The vitello tonato, pasta carbonara, risotto & desserts were outstanding.
Nicolas & the entire staff provided impeccable service & exquisite attention to detail! The wine selection is extensive, & every dish we tried was flavorful, well-textured, & thoughtfully prepared. Our experience truly surpassed all expectations. We'll definitely be back & won't hesitate to recommend it to family & friends.

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.
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.
I am writing this review quite late, as my visit was about a year & a half ago, so things may have changed since then. Based on my experience, however, this was one of the worst restaurants I have been to in Montreal.
The pasta was not properly cooked, & our orders were mixed up. I asked for no bacon, yet my husband received the bacon free dish instead. We were also charged for bread, which is almost unheard of in an Italian restaurant.
Prices were extremely high for what was offered. With two pasta dishes & one or two appetizers, the bill was easily around 200 dollars. The only reason I am giving two stars is the location. The Old Port is beautiful, but I would recommend trying other restaurants instead.
The food is incredible, I highly recommend the bone marrow. We had 4 different pasta dishes at our table & this was the best one. The service however, was noticeably off & you can just tell they have communication issues between staff.
The food runners were amazing, but they did not know much about our food, & what was what, lol. They just brought the dishes out & you can tell the servers don't talk to them much, so hard to order through them. They were great though.
We weren't checked one once during our main course, which was really unfortunate because we wanted to order wine with our pasta, finally our server came once we were all pretty much done. After that we weren't checked in on again, & we wanted to order dessert. We flagged our server down (again) to ask for a dessert menu, which she just handed to us, & didnt say anything. Finally when she returned, we ordered one of the desserts (there's only 4, which is fine) & she said they were all out! It's like damn, why not say that as you deliver it. It would have been nice to have been talked to more & considered during our meal. Maybe it wasn't her day, we all have off days, but we left as a result & ended up going to Monarch a few doors down & the difference in service was night & day!
