This is a cute spot. I loved my friend’s ravioli, that she let me try. It was absolutely divine, though I did get a bite that was a bit undercooked. My dish, the 32nd Street pasta, was all right—too much lemon for me. My partner’s dish, the lasagna, was not very good at all. Our server had several issues, losing our ticket, not putting our reordered meals back in, pouring water from one of our cups into the jar he served another family with. It took over an hour to get our food. Unfortunate.

Definitely no surprise that the pastas were excellent! The bison meatballs were super delicious, definitely a great starter to share!! We were stuffed but ordered the tiramisu to go and that was a wonderful treat for later.

The Gorgonzola dip was amazing! The entrees on the other hand were really disappointing.The ravioli was undercooked and the pesto gnocchi was so salty I couldn’t eat more than 4 pieces. The staff was friendly and the wine was good. I don’t think I would recommend this to anyone coming to town but I could see us going back for the Gorgonzola dip and wine only…but overall I thought this place was kind of pricey for the quality of food/atmosphere.

Excellent service, food was stellar, and, so, so much parmesan.
This place was such a delight. I went here on a date with my boyfriend and we immensely enjoyed the entire experience. Everything we ordered was on point, presentation was beautiful and the atmosphere was so warm and inviting. We ordered the Baked Brie and Caprese Salad as appetizers and I ordered the Shrimp Pesto Gnocchi for my entree. Everything was so delicious! The waitstaff was also very sweet and accommodating. We did have to wait a bit for our food but we were enjoying the ambience so much we didn’t mind. Overall, this place was such a positive and pleasant experience. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks for everything, Trattoria Stella. ☺️ ? ? ?

Really cozy place and great service, but if you’re from the east coast and used to really authentic, well prepared Italian food you may be let down.

Mixed review. The bad news is that the majority of dishes were super garlicky. Plus the main came out before the soup. The good news is that they made up for it by giving me soup to go. And the desserts were wonderful. The staff is very sweet. But in eating our leftovers these dishes are generally very very garlicky, almost inedible. And I love garlic. Plus one of us got the ravioli and they were very dense and not what I'm used to, rather super heavy with packed cheese. But the family friendly ambiance was great. And they gave me a free dessert for my birthday. And my dish, which was the special, was very good.
Service was good, atmosphere was nice.The pesto gnocchi was the saltiest dish I've ever been served at a restaurant. I should have sent it back, but didn't, that's my bad. My partner's pasta dish was good. Bread for the table was underwhelming.

Cute restaurant in a really cute area. The food was not the best considering the prices.The Ravioli was undercooked and the filling was pretty dry.The gnocchi is fried which is not something I enjoyed but the rest of my party seemed to like the gnocchi a lot

The tomato vodka cream pasta (no meatballs for this vegetarian) was absolutely delicious! Caesar salad was also great. Good drinks, good bread, good service!
