    Fantastic authentic Italian meal! Party of 5 and everyone loved their meal. From the appetizers of the calamari, fried mozzarella and meatballs to the fresh green salads to the main entree of ravioli, chicken picatta, veal parmesan and seafood risotto. Everything was excellent!

    The food was amazing! The service was excellent…our server took great care of us and offered suggestions that were delicious. I love the atmosphere at Stella’s. My only complaint was we were seated right in front of the door. There was a lot of traffic in and out. It was freezing that night so every time the door opened we got a gust of cold air. That won’t keep us away. We will be back!!

    My server was very friendly and the food was good. The only thing o didn’t like was being close to the kitchen and asked could I have a booth when booties were empty and was told they were not available. Other than that I really liked my waitress Taylor
