Located at 76 South Street, Stellina Ristorante is a fine Italian restaurant that hopes to be exactly what the name implies — the “little star” in the town of Oyster Bay. Stellina Ristorante, with only a 40-person occupancy, will create an atmosphere of dining in a small restaurant in Italy — sometimes in the seaside of the Amalfi Coast, other times in the hills of Tuscany. Through seasonally-inspired, authentic Italian cooking, Stellina’s mission is to bring a small piece of Italy to Oyster Bay. The specially-crafted menu will include a variety of spuntini, pasta, pizzas, and more.

The restaurant is at its peak, combining country charms with city style...And you can be sure that everyone, either dining at a table or playing on stage, is hitting high notes"-Peter M. Gianotti, Newsday. In his August 9th review of the newly renovated Grasso's, Celebrating 28 years in Cold Spring Harbor, Gail Grasso (Owner) and Tony Canales (Exec. Chef/Partner) gear up to give you yet another year of phenomenal food, jazz and just an overall feeling of “WOW”. Grasso’s, now more than ever, has that real Hip Manhattan feel you don't find on Long Island. A neighborhood gathering place where you almost always stand the chance of running into someone you know. When you dine at Grasso’s you truly feel as though you've walked into Gail’s home. It’s been called the “Cheers” of Cold Spring Harbor. It's Where Great Food and Great Music Live!

Stellina is not your typical crowded Long Island Italian eatery where people go to be seen. Instead, it's like a café in Italy. The ambiance is wonderful, and the staff is easy to talk to and incredibly accommodating, taking care of special requests without hesitation. The food is fantastic—from the salads and wood-fired oven pizzas to the homemade pastas, Zuppe di Pesce, and lasagna. Stellina is worth the drive to Oyster Bay and is a standout.
