   Stella used to be one of my favorite places. Since they have moved, the food quality has gone downhill…..they have sacrificed quantity for quality

   The two-top tables in the hallway do not have a great ambience. Feels like we are in the walkway. Your wine list could use more Cabernet Sauvignon in the $60-$90 range that tastes good. There are several out there to choose from. The T-Vine Zin we ordered for $80 was just okay. Not great. The food was delicious but I’d love to see some more inventive dishes offered- and not having pork products in so many of your pasta dishes (speck and sausage are over). The waiter was very nice. Bus boy tried to pour water into my water glass OVER my plate of food - please tell them this is NOT CLEAN and is also rude- if water drips from the bottom of the pitcher it will contaminate the food.

   This was the first time I’ve gone to their new location. It did not disappoint… the atmosphere, service and food were all above my expectations. Our server George and the manager Dana were very attentive, friendly, and very professional. It is definitely on my list of places to return to!

   Service was courteous and efficient. Atmosphere was good with upscale styling and plenty of room between tables. Petrale Sole w/ capers was delicious.

   Fantastic experience. Our first visit we sat outside to enjoy the street action. Fabulous food with many selections, properly seasoned, perfect temperature, high quality ingredients and wonderful taste. Great service from multiple servers and Dana the hostess with a warm greeting. Great seating options inside the restaurant too. A DEFINITE be back.

   The staff was extremely accommodating to my party’s fluctuating head count while my friends were attending a medical congress in the City. The waitress & waiter staff were very professional and unobtrusive while we were conversing. The 2 appetizers (buratta & meatballs)were tasty & presented very nicely. The pasta plates (orchiaetta & lasagna) & the Osso Bucco were good. I like the layout of the roomier Stella’s compared to their former spot in Burlingame. Thank you Stella for creating a memorable night of a great dining experience !

   The wait staff was friendly and so attentive. The osso bucco was tender and tasteful and the marscapone polenta is an outstanding accompaniment. The filet was the best and tastiest I’ve had.

   We had a wonderful experience at Stella last night. I had noted that it was a birthday and they had a card and decorations on the table. That was a sweet touch. Our waiter, the hostess the manager were all very professional and welcoming. We had a delicious meal From from appetizers to dessert, amazing quality and presentation. It was the 20th anniversary of Stella and we did not know so there was a lot of celebrating going on, but the noise level was fine. We will definitely be returning to Stella at a future date. Hopefully they will be there for another 20 years

    This was our first time there- it was wonderful! Excellent service and food! They really took care of us. Our waitress Jazmin was great and very accomodating. It was our anniversary - we had lovely quiet table near the front. Red sparkles on the table and gratis crème brûlée dessert. Definitely going back! It was great!
