What a gem. Set in a nondescript strip mall, Stresa offers some of the best Italian food I've come across in West Palm Beach. The service is always timely and non intrusive. I love their carpaccio, but it's the Seafood that always seems to shine here.

Ehhh at best…honestly apps; mussels and calamari were ok but honestly I couldn’t get over the portion, they were so little! A bowl of mussels, the smallest bowl maybe, 10-13 mussels sad looking and same with calamari very disappointing!As to the entrees chicken Trevisana had no flavor, what happened at the least add some salt?? Confused!Scallopini dish comes with a few terribly cut vegetables no flavor and just blahh and what I can’t understand this is an Italian restaurant so why not add an option for pasta for these dishes instead they charged 6 dollars for 3 fork full of pasta again disappointing. Branzino was ok but they gave the same tiny portion of those weird cut vegetables that were flavorless, why wouldn’t they add a salad to that dish.All and all this place was disappointing and they need to work on this menu and chef needs to work on tasting their food before sending it out. If I put food out like this I’d feel embarrassed.Sorry not sorry.

Worst “Italian” food I’ve ever had!Spent $200 on take out from here and it was such a let down. You think you would get some type of quality after paying that much.Ordered a dinner size chicken fettuccine and got 2 large chicken breast’s and a toddlers portion of plain angel hair noodle and some empty snap pea skins. Not at all fettuccine.Not too mention the rest of the food that was ordered was obviously bought in, nothing tasted fresh.The order of rosemary potatoes came with 6 dried up, unseasoned potatoe wedges.If you like gross, premade, tasteless garbage and being ripped off then this is the place for you!

Excellent food and service. Dining at the bar or table is equally great.
Everyone was pleasant, from the hostess who greeted us, to the bussers, and especially our waiter Terry who was kind, professional and knowledgeable. Food was excellent, and I knew some great Italian chefs and home cooks. Highly recommend.

Poor service. Was there 1/12/2024 and had an inattentive (and rather curt) older women as the waitress. Had to wait more than 20 min to get drink refills. Practically ignored us. Another server got us refills and I told him the woman server was bad. He said the kitchen was backed up. (I noted that the place wasn’t even crowded.) He said there was nothing he could do about the other server’s inattentiveness.This was our second time here. First time was great. We won’t be back, however and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Not like the old location for sure. Beet salad was from a can, veal was pre prepared and below what veal is supposed to taste like. Cheap veal! Everything came out in minutes, like it was frozen and microwaved. This is very sad, as we always loved Stressa and I was celebrating my birthday. The spumoni was not good either, just out of a cheap box. Very disappointing ? and we will not be going back. The extra charges are ridiculous, even though we didn't share, they want an $8.00 sharing charge. They ask if you would like another soda, and that was another $4.00. I'm done! Very disappointing experience.Parking: Pretty shady area

Amazing food and great service. My wife and I walked in at opening for dinner and was seated immediately, with waiting staff clearing extra plating and filling water. Our orders were handled quickly and professionally with amazing food. The best Chicken Marsala I have had!!Wonderful atmosphere and an all around great experience.
