Light on flavor - heavy on the wallet. We got a make your own pasta and it felt the garlic oil was mostly oil with no embedded garlic goodness. The price for 2 entree with an appetizer just didn't feel "worth" it given the light flavors. But all in all - the ambiance made it still feel like a good time outside. The service is good the ambiance is great with the faux tree and lights.

Awful not nice and food is very mediocre They don't mind charging you a split entree fee for a ridiculous amount of money and don't even tell you about it . There answer is it's on the dirty menu . Wouldn't ever eat there again . The place should be demolished it's so old and tired and smelly .

No better way to celebrate pie day then to get one. Stopped by to try this place does the first time. Got two large cheeses and they were excellent. Sauce is flavorful, cheese is good and the dough was delicious.

Unfortunately I have to say I was quite disappointed. Crab Tater Tots where... meh, runny sauce. Chicken was coated in flour ( please don't be afraid to use spices on a chicken, it was very bland). It was served with potatoes and tomatoey sauce with spinach. Lots of potatoes... The sauce was thickened with quite a lot of flour. The other dish we ordered was sea food pasta. We needed a spoon for runny sauce. The eclair was fantastic though and it was big. I heard that Stella Notte has good pizza. We'll be back to try.

What a deliciously authentic restaurant with a comfortable dining room. The food is always tasty and the bartenders usually have a good heavy pour. The glass dining room is a treat in a heavy rainstorm. We had a recent birthday party there and it was very special.

Nice atmosphere. Food is above average for the area. Make sure to check their hours before going!

Highly recommend - Best Italian in the area!Homemade flavorful sauces. Pasta is always ala dente. Dishes are plentiful - we had enough leftovers for lunch today! Crisp salads. Fab wood-fired pizzas. Drinks are always on point! Romantic place with a beautiful atmosphere.Last night my husband and I ordered e shrimp & sausage over rigatoni & arribiata sauce with blackened shrimp and spaghetti squash. Completely delish. Big, juicy shrimp.The waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable.My daughter and I have a standing “date” at Stella Nolte’s 1 evening a month. Just a friendly place with EXCELLENT food.

We had awesome food. However, they offered salad but you pay $6 for that salad. She should tell ypu that when ypu take the offer. So a meal of cheese ravioli with sauce, a salad, and diet soda came to $28. The food was good so paying that wasnt too bad. Our waitress was not friendly. She should not have been overwhelmed because it was not busy when we got there. She offered cheese but it seem to throw her into a tizzy when we wanted it. She got mad when we asked her to separate the check out because she never asked us how we were paying. She assumed one check. She got rude and was shaking her head like we asked her to do a miracle. Gratuity is already figured in the bill or she would not have received that much of a tip. I believe all servers should get something. But again, she was not enjoying her job. Overall had we had a better server, it would had been perfect.

We visited the restaurant for my fiancé’s birthday. The food and atmosphere were both wonderful. The waitress we had (Heather), was great at first, but at the end of dinner it was a complete 360°. She brought the check which was for all 7 of us at the table. Normally for large parties, we are asked how they were to separate the check before placing our orders but she didn’t, so I figured we would just ask her at the end to split the check. She had such a poor attitude when I had started telling her who was on each check. After she took the information we apologized and said “I’m sorry we should have told you before we ordered I guess” and very rudely she responded “yea you should have” and then stormed off to the pos screen. While she was entering in the check items, we could see her swearing and shaking her head that she had to change the way the check was handled which even led to a bigger tip since gratuity was automatically added. If I could have tipped nothing, I would have. The restaurant and food were both amazing, it’s a shame the one waitress had such a poor attitude, especially at my fiancés birthday dinner. We will return because of the food, but will refuse Heather as a waitress.

First time there, the restaurant itself was beautiful we were placed in a glass room. Where the trees had all been decorated for Christmas time it was absolutely gorgeous. Our food on the other hand was cold, and tasteless. I myself ordered the meat lasagna which should’ve been full of spice and wonder with fresh ricotta cheese and it was quite the opposite. And just so everyone knows this is not a kid friendly place. There are no diaper caddies in the restrooms. I was very displeased when I asked the hostess where I could change my child as she told me in the car. I am not changing a child in 20° weather and then the hostess came in and said that we could use the bench outside where are the entrances? This was unacceptable. If you’re supposed to be a restaurant and you know that there will be children there where you provide high chairs and booster seats then, You should also be a diaper caddies as well. The staff were trying to accommodate us, but they failed and were insensitive about it. They do, however, have a bar inside the restaurant the first drinks that came out were very good, but as the night went on the drinks went sour. Will not be returning can make better lasagna at home

My kind of place. Quality menu.....good local feel and people.....and not just another 'big box' restaurant chain. Pizzas are a solid pie choices (do it often for family pizza night)

We had the calamari and Stella Notte pizza. Both were excellent. I never knew they were here until driving by one night and seeing all the Christmas directions outside. Indoors was nicely decorated too for a very nice and relaxing ambiance for our meal. Wife and I would both return. Good service and food was up very quickly. She had an adult coffee / mocha / whiskey drink I can't remember the name of. She enjoyed that too.
