Stella's
Price: Moderate•Breakfast•4.7(17)Aunt Stella's journey began on October 21, 1910, gracing the vibrant lower east side of Manhattan with her presence. After completing high school, a deep calling led her to embrace a life devoted to the church as a nun. Her path intertwined with the Dominican Congregations across Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, a choice that allowed her to remain connected to her beloved family.
What I hold closest to my heart from my time with Aunt Stella is her genuine love for cooking and the joy of family gatherings. Even now, I can effortlessly transport myself back to those cherished moments, picturing her gracefully moving around the kitchen and savoring the lingering aroma of freshly prepared spaghetti sauce on the stove. These memories etched themselves as precious treasures of my childhood and acted as the cornerstone of inspiration for my restaurant.The Library

- SSusanVIPNew York City •75 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThe Library was a serendipitous find that turned out to be a treasure during our mini break away. We walked into a corner glass building into a cool and cozy place filled with lots of blonde wood and blue books making for a comfortable space. We began with Daisy Buchanan, a grand centenario and watermelon cucumber puree cocktail that was light and refreshing, and Sunshine City ipa. We shared the warm burrata with tomato confit that came with a large chunk of buttered baguette and a huge Roasted Beet Salad that we literally devoured as they were that good! We were anticipating that the entrees would also be tremendous and we were right. My husband had the Pan Seared Chicken (boneless half chicken au jus with pave potato and sautéed greens hidden under the chicken) and I had the Salmon entree (generous portion of fish with charred scallion gnocchi, rainbow chard and apricot mostarda). I was reluctant to leave anything behind and polished off my plate while my husband ended up taking home half the chicken and the salad. It made for a delicious sandwich the day after. Our only regret is not having had the room to try their desserts. We both remarked on how great the food was and how happy we were to have dined here. It’s definitely a not to miss place when in St. Petersburg!More infoThe LibraryPrice: Expensive• American• St. Petersburg•4.7
