What People's Say About Place

This place is so consistent.... Great friendly fast service... THE SALAD IS INSANE!!! the bread with tomatoes is great then the bread basket with their special little spread is very good.... ordered the steamed clam appetizer dish, great!! Spicy pasta with linguine and calamari is a good pick too, a ton of calamari!! Strongly suggest visiting here if your in the area

I frequent Stella's at least once a month, usually take out. Always amazing. My husband's fave is the eggplant special. The Marsala is delicious, nice chunky mushrooms. The pic I posted is the grilled vegetables with goat cheese special. Beautifully plated. Included carrots, zucchini, fennel, olives, eggplant and maybe some others I'm forgetting. Potions are generous and worth the price you pay as everything is delicious.

Visiting from Boston and this was a great little surprise! The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. Service with our waitress Katherine was above and beyond, very friendly and attentive. Busboy and hostess were also great (didn't get their names). And, the food was outstanding! Definitely recommend this place.

If you love eggplant, this is your spot! Not deep fried with so much breading that you can't taste the eggplant! Sauce is plentiful with the dish, and salad is fresh with an amazing house garlic dressing! My second time here and it did not disappoint!!

Absolutely fabulous! No complaints! We got calamari for an app, and they give bread and a salad with a great garlic and oil sauce! I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and my fiancé ordered the chicken parm. The portions are very generous, and they both came out fresh, piping hot! Our waitress was extremely attentive and everyone was friendly. Will be back again! Forgot to take pictures so tried to screen shot a video, doesn’t do the taste justice either way!

Dined there on 11/7/25. As usual, delicious Chicken Sorrentino! My husband got the Calamari Fra Diavolo and he was happy with the spiciness. Food was good but we were surprised by the costs of the appetizer special the night we dined and an extra charge to take a side of meatballs home. Of note, there weren't any prices listed on the specials of the day. In general, I always prefer restaurants to be up front about. The crab cake was $27 and the goat cheese with veggies was $24. So we spent $61/62 per person for our apps and dinner. Personally, I think that is high. The goat cheese portion was really small given the price. The pasta is NOT homemade at Stella's. Side of meatballs was $13.50 but an extra charge of $1.50 ("1 TO GO") was weird. Stella's is a sentimental place for me - been going for MANY years - and that is what makes me keep going back. Although, I feel disappointed by their prices at this point given the quality of the food has not gone up. I feel like it used to be yummier - also missing the delicious bread basket that they used to have along with the thicker hummus they used to serve.

Great Italian! Fresh sauce and great sides. I would highly recommend. Big servings, you can split the main dishes.

This place is hands down amazing! Food, staff, and management make you feel like part of the family! It's the perfect place for virtually any occasion.
