    On a recommendation from friends, we tried Stella’s for the first time to celebrate my birthday and were delighted with the experience. The ambiance is warm and cozy. Our servers were polite and gracious. The food was outstanding. My husband loved the bread, date appetizer and his veal and eggplant dish. There was so much that half went home with us. My chopped house salad was excellent and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Our evening was exceptional and we look forward to returning.

    We’ve been to Stella several times and never had a bad meal but this time we were disappointed. The chicken dish had no flavor at all and the salmon wasn’t anything special. The only thing we enjoyed was the rigatoni with spicy vodka sauce. We don’t think we will return for a long time
