Stella's is a strange restaurant. It seems to want to be an over-the-top elegant speakeasy which ideas don't mesh well. It's hard to find the door; speakeasy vibe. Cute. Once found, the interior seems to have been designed by some world famous Italian. Way overdone. It felt like sitting in a museum of modern Italian design. However the food was excellent yet the service seemed tentative as though the place had just opened. And it wasn't particular busy. We may give it a try again...read full review

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. The current tartare is still considered pretty good, and the pistachio crème brûlée is highly recommended. The wine pairing suggested by the sommelier is excellent, and the NA cocktails are amazing. Service is impeccable, with attentive staff who greet regulars 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.
The food at Stella's Cucina has been praised as excellent, with dishes like minestrone, beef tartare, risotto, and short rib all being extremely flavorful, well-presented, and featuring unique takes on standard fare. The tiramisu has been described as "out of this world", and the mocktails are very tasty. The service is friendly, knowledgeable, and timely, and the ambiance is fun and lively without being too boisterous. The only criticism is that the servings can be on the smaller side, leaving some diners feeling a bit hungry after a multi-course meal.
