“Wine list was impressive, and desserts were very good (Orange bread pudding).”
“just loved it my boyfriend and I have been now a few times, great drinks fantastic crowd and supurb service!”
“The pizzas are very good and the tuna we ordered was perfectly done.”
“The drink selection is great, and I've had a fabulous bellini and a less than stellar mixed berry drink that just seemed too dull.”
“My father went as far as saying it's the best Italian restaurant he has ever been to.”
“The food was below average and the service was very poor.”
“Few places live up to a positive billing, and this is one of them (at reasonable prices).”
“They still made us wait another 20 minutes and then we just gave up and ended up going to Frankline Cafe which is always amazing and has truly friendly staff.”View Less
great atmosphere!. Was an awesome experience at Stella. Started at the fun, energetic bar to a great, romantic, delicious dinner! Will be back, soon !
Best South End restaurant. I first went here with my boyfriend last year and absolutely loved it. The tagliatelle bolognese is the best we have ever had and the parmesan arancini are to die for. I went back here for my moms birthday a few weeks ago and once again, the meal was fantastic. My father went as far as saying it's the best Italian restaurant he has ever been to. The owner is so kind too and always makes us feel welcome. Also, order the Stella homemade gnocchi. I have had so many gnocchi entrees in the past from some of the best Italian resraurants and Stella's certainly tops them all.…
Blah - nothing memorable about Stella.
I had high hopes for Stella and left somewhat unimpressed. Food was good, but not great by any means. My orechiette was tasty, but soupy. My girlfriend enjoyed her meal, but was not blown away
either. Decent food, but overpriced for what it was.
Service was good, but again - not great.
Wine list was impressive, and desserts were very good (Orange bread pudding).
Overall I was unimpressed - our meal was not bad by any means, but our experience was very blah. It seems that others have had better experiences, so I may give it another shot - but only after trying the MANY other options in the South End.…
Bustling bar (with excellent people-watching) plus glowing dining room equals South End's Italian staple, with luscious pastas, antipasti and modern classics.. Evan Deluty, the chef/owner of Charles Street's now-closed Torch, has gone the Italian route with Stella. Serving food nightly until the wee hours, Stella aims to provide area residents and scenesters with reasonably priced comfort fare (thin-crust pizzas, roasts and homemade pastas). Generous plates of impeccable food--homemade gnocchi, pork Milanese--adhere to the concept of accessible, everyday sophistication. Libation lovers sample from an extensive assortment of grappas and Italian cocktails. When the weather allows, patrons can eschew the modern, starkly white dining room in favor of one of the South End's largest patios.…
Tough to top. There isn't much wrong with this place except the occassional hostess who greets you with a "can't you see we are really busy?" attitude. Other than that the entire staff is phenomenal, the food is amazing and the prices are just fantastic. I eat there once if not twice a week and I'm trying to come to terms with how popluar this place is becoming....go now before you can't get a table anymore!…
