Our salad did not look very good. Wilted lettuce, not plated very nicely! Asked the server to bring another one, which she did, but it wasn’t much different! Even the server said the salads usually looked better! Pizza was fine!

I didn't even realize there was a restaurant in Macy's Herald Square but was pleasantly surprised by this spot. Everything was extremely tasty from the calamari and burrata appetizers (which was sufficient for the 3 of us), and my Shrimp Risotto was seriously good considering this dish can easily be a hit or miss. They didn't skimp on the shrimp and the risotto texture and flavors was just perfect. And our server's recommendation on their version of Moscow Mule didn't disappoint either! Will gladly revisit.

It was pricier than pre-COVID. My guest remarked that her drink was not strong enough for a Cosmo but the server did not remedy the situation. For an Italian restaurant to charge for bread I found that odd. Hopefully Stella will get her groove back!

The location atop Macy's is exceptional, and the views are outstanding. Be sure to check out the street scene below. The octopus is a great appetizer, and the fish was quite tasty. Drinks are really nice although a bit pricey. Stella is a nice place for an after work dinner and the bar is a great place to meet friends.

Whenever I'm in the 34th Street area of New York City Stella 34 Trattoria is my go-to restaurant. The ambiance is exactly what I'm looking for. The food is excellent. They have a beautiful bar with a skilled bartender. I'm always impressed when I have lunch or dinner at Stella. I strongly recommend it.

This is a gem of a restaurant! The view is priceless. We were seated at a window, as requested on my reservation. Our server was so very pleasant, efficient and courteous. The only item that was disappointing was the faro+ salad. Definitely lacking in eye appeal and taste. Unfortunately the kitchen did not send out the extra ordered chicken for that salad. Our server offered to get it, but we decided that it would not help the dish. The eggplant parmigiana is worth a return trip!!!

Not what I was expecting. Prices were really high for portion size. I know it NY but 15 for a small bowl of lettuce is ridiculous additional checks was dry. Ordered the calamari it was excellent. Pizza very good. Meatballs were meh. Also ordered the vegetables roasted. The wine pour was way under the ounce.

Jordan took our table over from a less happy server. He was AMAZING. actually kept those water glasses full. Treated us very warmly and never tried to upsell anything. The food was good. Had to send back the steak since Medium was still cold in center but they replaced it quickly and without ire. Pizza were the bomb. Not a cheap meal, but worth the price for the great service and food!

Our family tries to go to Stella 34 every year for Christmas. The location above Macy's is excellent and the food is good and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly. We also appreciate it that it is not as crazy packed as some restaurants and that the music idoes not prevent you from having a conversation.

I brought some family here last minute because this place had reservations. Big mistake. There was barely anyone in the restaurant and the service was incredibly slow. We ordered a linguine dish with mushrooms and both myself and my sister were given no mushrooms. It was just sauce and noodles for $25! They did give us mushrooms in a separate dish, so was clearly not prepped in the dish. Very disappointed.

The service was on the slower side but our server was very, very nice. The children’s menu wasn’t as standard as we are used to so if you have a picky eater, I wouldn’t recommend. The adult’s menu had a decent selection and the food was fine. This is definitely a very convenient place to have a meal and a couple of drinks if shopping in Macy’s or going to MSG.

Very nice restaurant on the 6th floor of Macy's! Beautiful picture windows and high ceilings. The food was very good and the service unrushed. The only issue I had was that our meal arrived before our drinks, but when we enquired, that was quickly remedied.
