They made a slight mistake with our order initially but made up by giving us 2 free items and discounting 20% off. They go above and beyond for their service and their food truly was amazing. Best Italian food I’ve had in a while. Bolognese was so good. A hidden gem in

The pizza was ok. Not great. I called 50 minutes early with a time. Got there not ready had to wait another 10 minutes. They had just put the pizza in. Not good when the parking is so horrible. Service was very nice though. The ambience it's a hole in the wall. What more can I say?

So yummy and so bummed that they were completely empty on a Saturday night when they should be packed! Family owned restaurant that moved here a few months ago after shutting down in the South End during COVID after over a decade of business. Owner's kids are the servers, so sweet. Very casual Italian kitchen vibe. Great Caesar, bolognese is a must, loved the orecchiette too. Will be back for the tiramisu!

Just discovered this little gem a couple months ago!! I’ve had several menu items and all were delicious. But my FAVORITE is their version of chicken parmigiana!! OMG is that good - the pasta has more of a garlicky sauce rather than the plain red sauce.I’ve also had a couple of their special entrees- one was a short rib over ribbons of pasta with this amazing tomato cream sauce!! Wow! Was that tasty!Service is also outstanding.

The food is incredible! I'm thrilled that Stella is back. Like many others, I was heartbroken when the South End location closed during the pandemic. Needless to say, I was impressed with my dinner tonight and felt a sense of normalcy knowing I could still enjoy the best spaghetti squash bolognese in the world! My son had the gnocchi which was also YUM!!! And the garlic bread is a must! Despite the simple menu and restaurant design, the food is exceptional and hot from the kitchen, the service was flawless, and the atmosphere was cozy!

Found this restaurant after a quick yelp search and was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food was. My family and I dined here for lunch and all of our meals were fantastic. The service was quick and everything was so delicious, especially the bolognese and the potato gnocchi. The waiter was friendly and attentive and I would return here in the future for another great meal.

We live around the corner and get take out here frequently. The bolognese is the best!!!! My non-foodie child loves the chicken fingers and fries. So easy to order online. Delicious food.

No frills, family run restaurant with a very limited menu. What they cook is EXCELLENT!!!! This should NOT be a hidden gem. The dining room is very small.
