The restaurant has plenty of seating. And we only waited a few minutes to be seated. The BBQ Bacon Burger and the Whiskey Glazed Salmon were delicious. The Ribeye was average. All in all, it was a good experience and I would recommend it.

Table service was very slow but the staff was very friendly. It was not very busy but they still seemed to be understaffed. It was clean and overall an enjoyable time but everything from our first drink orders to the check took 20-30 minutes longer than they should have from the time we requested them.

We wanted pizza and there aren't any good pizza places near where we live so we found Stellina and this was the closest one to us. The Cuppo Misto was fresh and had an excellent light but crispy batter. It is served on a bed of fresh chips which were good too. Fair warning, the shrimp are fried head on which was a treat for my wife but might not be for everyone. We shared the Rucola&Finocchio which is arugula, shaved fennel and red onion salad with a awesome light dressing. One of the best salads we have had in a long time. That is worth the trip along. The pizza was served smoking hot and has a nice chew to it. A very good brick oven pizza. And we finished with the Italian cheese cake which is lighter than New York style cheese cake and it was very good. Looking forward to our next visit to get that salad again, to try a pasta and another desert. Fast, close by and very tasty. Not a place for a candlelight dinner but a perfect place when you are craving any of the things I mention above and don't want to dress up. Casual and delicious.
