We made a Valentineâs Day reservation a week in advance and even called the day of to confirm, only to be told they never put us down. The hostess was unhelpful and dismissive, and the manager was just as indifferent, offering no real solution. Neither were apologetic. We had to push for them to even look into it, and after all that, they only offered a table an hour later than our original time. A frustrating and disappointing experienceâif you make a reservation here, donât count on it being honored. Bad first impression of the business.

I ate here with my boyfriend Saturday night and I cannot express enough how great of an experience we had. Firstly, we were able to be seated fairly quickly without a reservation. It was only about a 20 min wait. Secondly, our waiter (Rafael) was PHENOMENAL! He was so attentive and kind the entire time, and made our night that much better. And lastly, the food was delicious! We started out with the bread and balsamic with oil dip (11/10), then we enjoyed a house salad with ranch and a balsamic vinaigrette. We ended the night with the Shrimp Carbonara and Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo, and both dishes were SO BOMB! All in all, a really great experience and would recommend it to everyone.

Very uptown setting. Good salad, I had spaghetti and meatballs. Although, I don't love meatballs. The spaghetti and sauce were good. The bread was really good and warm. I prefer to dip mine in the extra ranch dressing. Our server, Jeno, was great. He even made sure I had ice in my water, which I like!!

Stood up front for 15 minutes without a single person coming by to help me and my girlfriend, all the employees were just walking by and nobody helped, the store wasnât busy either, terrible customer service
Not all itâs made out to be. Food tasted like Indian food. Not Italian. Way too many foreign spices. Risotto raw. Tomato sauce on the margherita pizza was ketchup. Never will I be back.
My waiter, Russell, was simply outstanding. It is always such a nice experience coming to Stella's but this was 10/5 stars. The food is always immaculate and I love coming here!

Food was ok, had risotto with minimal lobster and shrimp
đ©Manager harassed me with phone calls and text messages after leaving â falsely accusing me of dining and dashing.đ© Let me be clear: I paid my bill. The accusation was not only insulting but completely unfounded, and it highlights the poor management and lack of professionalism at Stellaâs. The only staff member who carried herself professionally was the hostess. Despite its attempt to appear as a high-end Italian restaurant, the actual experience was far from it. We were greeted with, âWhatâd you guys want?â by a rotating group of teenage staff who clearly had no training in customer service or etiquette. Tables were only cleaned when asked, food was unceremoniously dropped on the table, and the service lacked basic courtesy. For context: I received a $50 promotional card from Stellaâs in a swag bag at an event I sponsored. I brought international guests to dine there, hoping for a quality experience. Yes, it was prom night and the restaurant was busy â understandable. But the disorganized service wasnât due to volume; it was due to poor training and lack of leadership. Three different servers came to our table at different points, each claiming to be âour server.â The meal itself was passable, but the service was disjointed and uncomfortable. When it came time to pay, I presented both my gift card and my credit card. The total bill was just over $100. The server attempted to swipe the gift card, which failed. He consulted another employee, who awkwardly explained theyâd been having âissues with gift cards.â He then brought out the manager. The manager arrived clearly frustrated â not with us, but seemingly with the situation she had likely encountered before. She explained that a former manager had distributed these cards as promotions, but they werenât actual gift cards â just pieces of plastic with dollar amounts and initials written on the back. This was baffling and sounded a bit disorganized. Still, they agreed to honor $50 from the card. My credit card was then swiped for the remaining balance (about $50), and I left a cash tip before leaving. Shortly after leaving, I received a phone call from the same manager, accusing me of leaving without paying. She claimed the gift card was only a $50 discount (which it was â I never said otherwise), and insisted the remaining amount was unpaid. I told her plainly: my credit card was swiped, and I could see the pending charge in my banking app. Instead of apologizing, she doubled down, stating, âIâm just trying to figure this out in the best interest of both parties.â After hanging up, she then texted me, and I was still being pressed to âresolveâ a bill I had already paid â claiming their system still showed an open ticket and continuing to imply I hadnât paid. She eventually backtracked and offered a âWeâll just take care of it,â as if doing me a favor â despite the fact that I had already paid. Followed by a condescending âHave a blessed evening.â To the owner: You either have unreliable payment systems, or an incompetent manager who doesnât understand them â possibly both. Either way, harassing a paying customer after the fact, due to internal miscommunication, is not how any business should operate. I wonât be returning, and Iâll be sharing this experience with others so they know what kind of treatment to expect.
