    Food was good. Service was extremely slow. We've been there several times before and the service was fine. We'll go again.

    We were greeted by Kim, who was also our wait person. She gave us just the right amount of attention. She was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was so good, first the warm crusty bread with oil, then the Italian meats pizza with amazing flavors and a super thin crust. I had the pan seared salmon with vegetables. I will definitely come back to taste other treasures!!

    We've eaten at Stellas many, many times over the years but it's been a year since our last visit. Sadly, it seems times have changed. We were early diners set to beat the Friday night crowd so perhaps their A-team in the kitchen and bar hadn't arrived yet and although our table service was good, it felt like we were interrupting them before the crowds arrived. My wife and I both ordered different cocktails and while we are light drinkers, neither of us could detect more than a thumbnail's worth liquer in either drink. Mine was especially noticable because it's my favorite brand of bourbon and I keep it at home. I know what it tastes like. What we got were pretty much Shirley Temples. Our main dishes arrived and both were pretty much in the "good not great" category, not the level of taste explosiveness we had experienced in the past from Stella. She had the Chicken Scallopini. The chicken was very tasty but the sauce was disappointing and didn't have much flavor. I had the Smoked Chicken Lasagna and my dish was the opposite...the pasta flavor was excellent but the chicken was terribly dry. I don't know...maybe we caught them at the wrong time, but we had been intending to get back to Stellas well before we did. We were hungry for THERE food and had never been disappointed in the past. Now? We are still hankering for a good Italian dinner but I'm deciding on which different Italian restaurants to get that business. That's one of the great things about dining in OKC. We have a food scene that punches well above it's weight and if one restaurant disappoints you, there are always options. Maybe we will return to Stellas down the road or maybe another Italian restaurant will capture our heart. But thanks for past good meals, Stella, I can't take that from you and maybe we will be back.
