I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and Maple Ice Cream. Overall everything was great and very delicious, I recommend it if you're in the area. Only wish is that the pasta had a bit more flavor. Overall, still excellent quality, wonderful service, cozy atmosphere.

I got terrific recommendations about this place from my friends, and was meaning to visit for a long time. And oh, they were so right!! The food here is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 11/10 Undoubtedly the best Italian in the Upper Valley! Their complimentary bread and olive oil was a fantastic app.
I took the shrimp scampi, and my bf took the Bolognese, and both were mouthwatering! Their cake and ice cream dessert is a hearty end to your meal!! Other things that stand out are the romantic decor and amazing warm service (they box your leftovers for ya :')). This place also has a smallish cute gift store.
I would come back to this place in a heartbeat!
Special shout-out to AJ!!

Food is excellent, service is very friendly but can be a bit slow, especially if you've ordered coffee. Prepared entrees in the cold case are yummy and make dinners at home special if you're tired and short of time.

One of our favorites in the upper valley. You will often find us having dinner at the bar on Friday nights. Their grab-and-go food is fantastic for quick meals during the week. Coffee and lunch are also great. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT MISS THE CHEESECAKE. I DON'T CARE WHAT FLAVOR IT IS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. And Katie's special Margaritas are awesome...just like Katie.

What a find on Rt 10 South in NH where we drove for miles without seeing much to eat. What a treat! Seriously gourmet restaurant turning out seriously good food. We had a brisket hot sandwich and roasted cauliflower vegetarian sandwich. Both are delicious. I also had a very seriously good cup of latte from the young barista. Tomato basil soup and garlic knot a little bland. Will make this as a repeat stop.

My boyfriend and I come to Stella’s often and it’s one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Unfortunately this evening our experience was overall pretty poor and our waitress was very rude. I have celiac and get gluten free bread every time. When I asked our server for gluten free bread she told me “We don’t do that here” and when I said I always am able to get gluten free bread at Stella’s she just walked off to check. She came back with the gluten free bread and put it on the table, which was fine, but didn’t say anything about previously shutting down my request. When my salmon came back largely raw (cold to the touch) in the center she condescendingly told me it was supposed to be that way and said it’s medium rare. I said I would try it but after eating a bite it was clearly raw and I asked to send it back. When I sent it back she rolled her eyes and seemed to smirk like I was being made fun of. At the end, we were offered free dessert but I was so upset at this point I just wanted to leave. If I were leaving a review based off just this experience, it would be 2 stars. However, I have had many lovely lunches and dinners at Stella with different staff.

We have had a really good meal here in the past. Figured we would get some pizza on the way home from the Skiway. There was quite a bit of idle chit chat at the counter and it seemed to take longer than it should have to pick up the pizza. It took at least 10 minutes given my text chain about how slow it was taking, maybe 15. The toppings on the pizza were a bit scant however the sauce was good and the crispy crust was great. Garlic knots were quite good.
