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.
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
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! 👏🍝🔥
✨Incroyable. ✨
The photos sure does not do justice for the taste of the food & the impeccable service. ( you get to see them whip up that amazing pasta bc of the open kitchen) & that Tiramisu… 💖
Stellina is one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal & my go-to for Italian cuisine. I usually go during lunches but one Saturday night, i took my boyfriend for dinner. As always, food was great, atmosphere & service from the kitchen, host, & commis waiter. Our server however, made our night slightly uncomfortable.
To put it politely, she was not exactly friendly & was quite cold & condescending towards us. No worries, figured it was probably just a busy night. So we ordered each our appetizers, mains, dessert, & drinks.
After spending a few hundred dollars & giving extra tip (because like i said, food & service from everyone else was great), you'd think you'd at least hear a thank you or have a good night. Nope. as soon as my card went through, she printed the receipt, turned around, & walked away.
Would it stop me from going back to this restaurant? Maybe not. But i would 100% refuse to be served by this specific waitress seeing as the table next to us received a different treatment. I still wonder why.
If you are wondering if you should try Stellina, think no more - it's an Italian dining experience you do not want to miss. A perfect balance of Montreal class with a relaxed & welcoming flair, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, has attentive servers & an open air kitchen which allows you to see the visually stimulating dishes being prepared. I enjoyed the Insalata & the Spaghetti al Nero, with a side of the focaccia with prosciutto butter (you read that right). Delicious from start to finish. This was complemented by worthy cocktails. In terms of value, I have no regrets. Indeed, the only regret would have been to not try out Stellina.

My friend & I visited Stellina on Sunday night with a last minute reservation & the only seats available were at the bar, which offered the perfect view of the open kitchen. Watching the chefs work was a treat in itself. The kitchen was incredibly organized, with each dish prepared with such attention to detail that it was almost like watching a performance. You could see the professionalism in every plate they sent out. We started with the Funghi Saltimbocca antipasto. For our main dishes, we went with two pasta selections: Taglioni & Rigatoni alla Carbonara. The carbonara seemed to be a crowd favorite; we saw it coming out frequently & quickly understood why. Rich, creamy, & delicious, it's a must-try.
Each dish was so good! I will be dreaming about it for nights to come! Service was great, clean & organized. Love watching the chefs do their thing in the kitchen. Honestly one of my fav places so far. We had the agnolotti 🤤🤤🤤🤤 & the rabbit 🤤🤤🤤 just delicious!
Do not be deceived by the diminutive menu. Stellina overdelivers. The descriptions are brief, but only because they don't want to brag. Each & every item we ordered was exceptional. It can't be luck. The kitchen focuses their energies on delivering perfection, not breadth. I highly recommend the rabbit cappellacci.

I recommend to ask to sit by the kitchen bar. It's a dinner & a show in one. The chef's are simply amazing & entertaining. The food is flavourful & portions are decent. We tried the $80 tasting menu & the server picked out some great choices. The ravioli & the pasta with cream sauce & 36 month old aged parmesan is to die for....all the antipasto choices he gave us were incredible. They have such a passion to make you a great meal & bring an authentic atmosphere & recipes to the table. Bravo & I will definitely be going again before I leave Montreal.
