"I don't get some of these reviews complaining about the price of the food or what they perceive to be poor service. If I had to guess, it's probably the competition. Stella features Northern Italian Cuisine (Chef Matteo is from Italy! with the best ingredients, it's not a chain restaurant (like that place that rhymes with Schmolive Garden so yeah, the prices will be a bit higher. Also, has anyone noticed that 90% of the restaurants out there are still understaffed because of the Pandemic? Please give these local restaurants a break until they can operate with a full staff. The owner and staff are fabulous. The outside dining parklet and restaurant areas are lovely, as is the interior dining area. You can even book event space for a group dinner. The wine selection is superior to other restaurants and the food is delicious. My faves are: insalata stella, truffle gnocchi, lasagne, osso buco. If you're a frugal diner you should plan on going here for a special meal and budget appropriately. The ambience, food and location can't be beat."
