Had an amazing experience at Stella! The restaurant is sophisticated yet cozy, inviting and overall just the right vibe. We had the spicy rigatoni, the creamed corn side, and the halibut and crab — all perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The halibut was especially impressive! And the apple pie was the best I’ve ever had! Warm, buttery, not too sweet.. just perfect. Definitely the best meal we’ve had at the shore this whole month. Highly recommend!

About the restaurant

Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.
