Stella's Cucina is a hidden gem in Boulder, offering outstanding food in a beautiful, moody interior. The restaurant features a vibrant and warm atmosphere, enhanced by live music that creates a cozy ambiance. The menu includes dishes like lamb chops, octopus, sea bass, and risotto ai funghi, which has been praised for its beautiful presentation, resembling a whimsical forest floor. Some diners have found the pasta to be bland, but the current tartare is still considered pretty good, even though many miss the previously available Truffle Beef Tartare, described as one of the best dishes ever. The pistachio crème brûlée is also highly recommended. The wine pairing suggested by the sommelier is excellent, and the NA cocktails are amazing, including a particularly good espresso martini. Service is impeccable, with attentive staff who remember regulars and greet them warmly. The bartender is friendly and pleasant, contributing to a perfect spot for a special date night or a delicious meal with friends. Stella's Cucina is a must-visit for those looking for a nice place to eat in Boulder.
