What an exceptional experience; food, service, and atmosphere. If you want quality Italian, La Stella is the place to go. It is going to be on the high end for price but the restaurant is worth it. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. The calamari is fantastic and their pastas are great.

My sweetheart and I went to celebrate his birthday today (his birthday is on Christmas Day). Overall, it was a nice dinner, a bit pricey for two people and small portions. I had the tortellini, and you don’t get much even for the Sinner option and could’ve been cooked a little longer, but it wasn’t bad. We also had the short ribs, and they were very tender and would recommend them. The broccolini was good and the mac & cheese was decent. For his birthday, we selected the cheesecake, and that was really good. Our server was great. It’s a nice spot for a date night and low-key birthday dinner. Great ambience, but it did get busy for Christmas Eve and the noise level was a little high, but overall we enjoyed it.

Meatball appetizer was fantastic. The Vodka rigatoni was more fantastic. My husband had pasta with mushrooms and the creamiest sauce. It was perfection, very rich.

We had a really lovely experience! The service and vibe are exceptional! The staff, the view it was wonderful! Our crudo to start was flavorful and light. Our entrees of halibut and veal parmigiana were very good but not the highlights. Don’t miss the table side tiramisu!
