Italian
Located at 76 South Street, Stellina Ristorante is a fine Italian restaurant that hopes to be exactly what the name implies — the “little star” in the town of Oyster Bay. 

Stellina Ristorante, with only a 40-person occupancy, will create an atmosphere of dining in a small restaurant in Italy — sometimes in the seaside of the Amalfi Coast, other times in the hills of Tuscany. Through seasonally-inspired, authentic Italian cooking, Stellina’s mission is to bring a small piece of Italy to Oyster Bay. The specially-crafted menu will include a variety of spuntini, pasta, pizzas, and more.

    This was our first visit to Stellina, a small restaurant of about 10 tables. We were a party of 4 with a 6:30 weeknight reservation. We arrived about 15 minutes early and we were seated immediately as our table was ready. Service was attentive but not intrusive. We began with two excellent espresso martinis for the women and a bottle of red for the men. We enjoyed our appetizers of beet salad, fried artichokes and a seafood medley. Pasta with saffron crème and pistachio pesto was delicious as was pappardelle with ragu. Another bottle of red was enjoyed by all with the main course and we enjoyed the best tiramisu ever. The cost of the meal was more than reasonable for the quality of the food. We highly recommend Stellina and will return often. Note that when we left at 8:15 all tables were occupied.

    Four of us went to this restaurant on the recommendation of my sister-in -law. We all loved the experience. The service was excellent & the food was absolutely delicious. We started with a few apps. Highly recommend the Meatballs & the Gamberi E Calamari & Shrimp alla Calabrese. We loved the Bucatini Amatriciana Pasta Dish and the Veal Chop Parmigiana was spectacular. We decided to order the lowest price bottle of red wine, which was an Italian Cab. It was very drinkable and paired well with everything we had. We ended up with a second bottle. One thing I need to mention, you should check your bill since they charged us for 3 bottles and gladly fixed the mistake when I bought it to their attention. We look forward to getting back soon to try other menu items that caught our eyes!

    Fried artichoke app was delish. Side of seasonal mushrooms tasty, but a little tough. Everyone’s pasta and/or main was great (but my strozzapreti al fiume was really the best). Desserts were all delish (deconstructed cannoli and hazelnut affogato and tiramisu) but their version of tiramisu is ok, not spectacular. Overall rly super, one of my favorite places around here for a date night. Will be going back again and again!

    To start off I ordered an old fashion. They didn’t put 1 large ice cub into it. This is a big red flag for me. The table was so shaky I asked to move tables. They shoved something under one leg and it helped. As for the food it was good, not the best I’ve had but it was good. The service was great. I would go back to try more selections of food.

    The food was really good. Without question. We were seated promptly, 5 minutes early (had a reservation). The dining room was full on a Tuesday evening, but the noise level was fine. We sat almost 15 mins for a drink order, and almost another 10 minutes before food order was taken. I was disappointed because I wanted to love everything about this little gem. I’d give it a top rating if it weren’t for the service. The food was wonderful- and staff was friendly enough but the wait time between intermittent visits to the table was long. No follow up to entrees (I’d have liked some grated cheese for my pasta) and I would have ordered more drinks and dessert if someone had stopped to check on us. Peter (not our server) stopped past twice and he’s a definite credit to the establishment. He presented us with a complimentary dessert while we waited to pay our bill. Food- 5 stars definitely. Having personal work experience in the hospitality industry I can always empathize with a busy staff but also find it frustrating to be forgotten.

    A small, informal, family run restaurant with a fun atmosphere. Some hits but also some misses. Very nice wine selection and wonderful staff make the experience nice. Bucatini Amatriciana is excellent but deep fried zucchini flowers and what seemed like deep fried veal chop Milanese were very oily and had no taste of the original beautiful items. Overall would try again for pasta and want to try the excellent looking pizza ! Prices typical for the area.

    Absolutely A Gem! Felt like I was in a restaurant Amalfi Coast. Everything was on point from service, timing and most important food/dessert. I’m not from oyster bay but was searching for more intimate experience. Very refreshing from these big huge restaurants and feeling cold. Can’t wait to be back and saw a bakery is coming soon. Thank you for serving and cooking with passion!
