   I was a little disappointed. For $30-$40 an entree I was expecting great food. This was just ok. My date said that we could have stayed home and overcooked fish ourselves. There are so many great restaurants on the Ventnor “go to” list. This will definitely not be one of them. The service was great. Staff was friendly and we were seated right away and didn’t feel rushed.

   This is like a New York storefront restaurant. A romantic setting for a delightful meal. We started with the stuffed dates, all I can say is YUM. This was followed by the short rib dinner and the sole. All were well prepared and delicious. No room for dessert but the coffee was a perfect end. I heartily recommend this restaurant.

    First time diners but wont be our last! Went for NYE before a concert in AC and had a wonderful time. Servers were polite and friendly ( altho forgot little things like extra anchovies on 1 salad and dressing on the side for another ) Always worried about Prix Fix but Stellas had plenty of options for us all -highly recommended

    Our New Year’s Eve tradition is to eat at Stella prior to going to a concert. There is something very special about Stella. The food is extraordinary. It is simple food, made in such a way as to elevate it to the highest gastronomic levels. Absolutely delicious. The waitstaff is not harried and does not rush the guests. They decorate with balloons and favors for New Year’s and offer a drink for a toast. Most people realize that indoor voices should be used. Occasionally a table of 8 inebriated people can get rambunctious, but the waitstaff is able to redirect them into a quieter mode. The best thing is that eating at Stella is a memorable experience. One remembers the short rib, apple pie, and pasta long after, recalling the care taken with each dish. I wish there were more stars to give this restaurant.

    we admit to being long time regulars, but there is no better place to enjoy the great ambiance, service and excellent food than Stella. Having had everything on the menu, there are no bad choices, the music and the staff put you in a good mood, and you are relaxed and never rushed.

    Nice quaint restaurant in Ventnor. The ambiance was romantic. Food was excellent. I really liked the mussels, mushroom app, and salmon. The menu is very limited and I wish their hours were a little longer. But overall, very good! Will definitely be back.

    Had a great experience dining at Stella for the first time this weekend. Food was very tasty and thoughtfully prepared. We loved the caponata with the burrata. Chicken and veal dishes were piping hot and both had unique sauces and flavors. I can’t stand when restaurants serve the same sauce with three different dishes and try to pass them off as unique. The whipped potatoes were delicious as was the gemelli pasta. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall the pace was on the comfortable side of slow. We weren’t in a hurry and felt like weren’t being pressured to leave. Stella is a nicely decorated space with higher end looking finished. Note that this is a byob which is great because it isn’t a cheap restaurant, and this gave us the opportunity to bring a great bottle of wine to enjoy. I would say that the quality of the food justified the asking price. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend. I suspect that this is a tough reservation to get in the summertime so give it a try before then.

    Bread is an appetizer that you can order. We shared a Caesar salad and it was garlicky and good. The portion was generous. I had the squid ink tagliatelle, which was delicious. It was enough that I took half home. My husband had the paella, that he found very special and delicious. No room for dessert. We wish that we were informed that there is a surcharge for using credit cards. Although on both dinner and dessert menus it was stated that they have an atm. When we inquired about this from our waitress, she informed us that it was removed the week before.

    I ordered the chicken dinner and it was perfectly cooked and moist. My date ordered the sausage and spaghetti which was good but had very little sausage. We had the mussels for and app and they were delicious. For dessert the chocolate torte was wonderful!

    Outstanding restaurant with great atmosphere. From the salads to our meals, everything was delightful. Our main entrees included the veal dish and the eggplant. Never tasted veal so tender. It was a 5 star dish. My eggplant was a large serving with the most tender eggplant and not overly cheesy. It was delicious. We started with the bread plate and Cesar salad. Everything was 5 stars. A true gem of a restaurant in this area. We’re still talking about our experience and it’s 24 hours later. A must try.

    This is my second time to Stella's I love the atmosphere and the food. I took friends there who did not know about it, they too loved it and will return on their own. I also have recommended it to friends who have gone for dinner and really liked it. I think it is a winner.
