Stellina reçoit de nombreux compliments pour sa cuisine italienne et son service attentif, l'ambiance est chaleureuse et animée et la cuisine ouverte apporte du spectacle; les pâtes fraîches et les plats sont souvent délicieux, et les desserts comme le tiramisu sont fréquemment mis en avant, ainsi que le choix de vins et le service professionnel qui rend les soirées agréables; toutefois plusieurs critiques évoquent des portions petites, des prix élevés et un menu limité qui peuvent donner le sentiment de ne pas en avoir pour son argent, avec parfois des plats inégaux ou trop salés et du bruit important en salle, ce qui peut rendre l'expérience moins fluide lors des soirées plus occupées; dans l'ensemble, Stellina est perçu comme une excellente option italienne à Montréal, offrant une cuisine savoureuse et un service soigné, parfois à tester à différentes saisons ou dans d'autres configurations pour découvrir les évolutions du menu.
Service started out great but we had multiple people attending to us which made it difficult to know who to ask when we needed something. I prefer to have 1 server per table. The hosts were so sweet & accommodating even when we needed to modify our reservation time last minute. The ambience is great - but the tables & chairs felt a bit flimsy which I found odd. The food was pretty good. The bone marrow pasta was touch dry, but still delicious. The potato tortellini was so rich, but I really enjoyed it. Others claim the portions are small but I felt they were fine. There aren't many options for vegans, but there are some for vegetarians! The highlight was the tiramisu! I don't normally like it, but my friend really wanted it so we gave it a try & this is a dessert I would eat over & over again! Great wine selection.
We always have a delicious meal here. It's definitely on the pricier side but honestly never disappoints. All of the pasta are incredible but the carbonara & tagliolini with buffalo butter are highlights!

Had an absolute pleasure to dine at Stelina recently & it was fantastic. The knowledge & service JJ gave us was incredible to say the least. Big thank you to the chefs behind the scene as well to the bartenders. The food was delicious & we left very impressed & satisfied. The pasta dishes are a must try families.
-Insanely small portions for the exorbitant price of each dish. It's almost insulting to hard working people who enjoy going out.
- Calamari appetizer had a total of literally 8 calamari with the batter falling off them, mixed in a plateful of roasted green peppers, to hide the lack of calamari. Why serve them if they're too expensive for you?
- Burrata is not a whole ball of burrata at all- served on a few grilled peaches, with no bread ( 8$ Extra for a microscopic piece of'Focaccia' that is smaller than a McDonald's cheeseburger bun.) It's simply embarrassing. & Who does one think they are charging 50$ for a plate of pasta?
For Italians who know good homemade, authentic food from Nonna, for young people that go out to restaurants often, it's definitely disappointing all in all. Crazy prices for pasta & extremely mediocre appetizer/mains portions. The 5 star reviews are severely exaggerating. Please don't take people for granted with abusive prices & portions thinking we don't notice these things. Based on the responses by the owner to other well-deserved bad reviews, it's clear his ego's larger than caring about what people actually say in their honest reviews.

We were in Montreal for the weekend & booked Stellina at the last minute. The atmosphere & service were excellent. But the food was the star of the show. We had the crostone with anchovies, the calamari & the fungi saltimbocca. The crostone was a standout we loved it. Very simple ingredients but with all excellent Italian food it's the quality that makes it amazing. For primi we had the angolotti with bone marrow which was like a very creative pasta version of osso bucco…amazing, the carbonara was classic & delicious & the rapini pasta with sausage ragu was a creative spin on a classic. Wine list was great & good choices by the glass. Will definitely come back next time we're in town.
Juste des bon mots pour de l'excellente nourriture! Frais fait devant nous, nous étions au comptoir je recommande, excellent service également, employé & management efficace, courtois & polis.
The food was decent & clearly well prepared, but the experience didn't justify the price. Portions were small, & the menu felt very limited, which made it hard to feel like you're getting real value.
What stood out most, though, is how this place reflects a bigger issue with dining out lately. You're paying top dollar, but getting less of everything-smaller portions, weaker drinks, & fewer options. Charging $9 for a small piece of focaccia & serving undersized cocktails just reinforces that feeling. I had two Negronis-normally a strong drink-& didn't feel anything at all, which says a lot.
It's starting to feel like dining out has become more about presentation & pricing than actual value. You leave spending a lot, but not satisfied. That's disappointing, because going out to eat used to feel like a treat-now it often feels like a poor trade-off.
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.
