Went early on Saturday evening. At least a dozen tables were open but was told they all have reservations within the next half hour. The "host" wasn't going to seat us but then relented when I pointed out how many open tables. He also didn't like it when I asked him to change out a very dirty wine glass. No apology. No acknowledgment. The waiter barely wanted to be there and seemed totally bored. Prices have gone up since the change in ownership. Dover sole and veal parm $42! Our food was good. My chicken parm had 3/4 plate of spaghetti and one cutlet. Hope they get better at tending to their clientele otherwise this restaurant will turn over again.

Hubby & I dined for the 1st time here & they did not disappoint. We LOVE that all the food was served piping hot. Started with Hotsy Totsy Shrimp & that was DIVINE! Super flavorful & nice size shrimp. Then the fried Calamari, that was ok. We kept getting that stringy bit in every chew so not a fan. But the coating & flavor were good! Then we got a slice each of pizza, Bianca & Boom Shroom. SO DELISH thin, crispy & flavorful. They were “BOOMIN!” Our Sandwiches of choice was Farmer & Grilled Steak. Both served with a pickle & thin crispy chips sooo good!! We took home leftovers & all warmed up nicely in the oven. Would’ve been 5 stars if it weren’t for the Calamari. We will DEF be going back & bringing friends.

Went to celebrate my son’s 15th birthday at Stella’s. We had an amazing waitress named Angela. She was so helpful and went over the menu thoroughly to help us order our dinner for the evening. The food was so tasty, especially the Rib eye steak! MUST TRY ASAP!!!!!

My wife and I came across this restaurant after visiting northern New Jersey and we were pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. I had the Sicilian chicken which was amazing. My wife had the chicken franchise, which was also great. Our server Angela was very professional, and very pleasant to work with .We have told several people about the place already and we are looking forward to coming back again.

My review here is based on pizza delivery from Stella’s. They will take your pizza order over the phone if you are picking up. However, if you prefer delivery, you must place your order online. So we proceeded to place an order for 5 pizzas for our company on a Saturday night. Time of delivery was noted and about 10 min prior to that time we received a text saying it was soon to be there. 20 min passed and nothing! We happened to look outside and noticed the 5 boxes sitting on the cold ground! It is February and it’s 30 degrees outside. No ringing of the bell to let us know. My Ring doorbell video is proof! The pizza was cold and we had to heat up in oven while everyone waited. I called Stella’s and they simply said it’s Chownow’s responsibility not there’s. No apologies, just offered to give me Chownow’s customer service number. Really? I ordered pizza from their restaurant and paid them, not Chow. They need to own up and take care of their customers. Really surprised and disappointed in them.
Deliciously prepared food and generous portions. Excellent service from Howard. The casarecci with lamb ragu was inspired. Looking forward to returning.

This is my 3rd time eating Stella's food. first was in restaurant and last 2 times were pizza order. First off, upon calling the restaurant to place a pizza order, they will only take the order over the phone if you plan on picking up your order, otherwise you have to order your pizza online through ChowNow. My one star review is regarding the delivery process as well as management at Stella and their unacceptable response to my complaint. I received a text message from ChowNow stating the delivery would soon be there about 10 minutes prior to the requested time. That time + came and went !! We kept looking outside waiting for a car to pull up with our 5 pizza pies. Then suddenly we noticed the pies sitting on the ground (on a cold February night)!! I checked my ring doorbell to find the delivery guy arrived 30 minutes prior to when we realized the pies were sitting outside and NEVER rang our bell. What kind of person would drop off food on the ground outside and not ring your doorbell??!! I called to speak with a supervisor at Stella's to complain about this. I first spoke with Manny who offered to give me ChowNow s customer service number to complain to them since he said, it's not their responsibility. then I asked to speak to a supervisor whom he says was Tom but a guy name Gio got on the phone instead. Gio offered the same lame answer that I can call ChowNow to complain. I cannot believe that Stella would not claim responsibility with a service they are using to deliver THEIR food. We spent over $100 on five pies which we had to reheat in the oven while our company had to wait to eat. Very disappointed in Stella's management which didn't even offer us anything other than a phone number to call ChowNow which I did not accept. There are plenty other great pizza places in town who will deliver their pies and not thru a 2nd/3rd party! Own up Stella and know who and how these delivery services are representing your face. PS: I also will never add a tip to any of these delivery services, if I ever HAVE to use again elsewhere, since this POS delivery guy got his tip but clearly did not deserve one.

This is one of our favorite pizza, places to go and get different slices and then warm them at home. The service is extremely fast and the pizza is always delicious. One of my favorite slices has mushroom and either bacon or sausage - it is delicious. I have not eaten inside yet, but it looks like it must be nice. I'll definitely be coming back for more pizza.
Food is decent enough. Been there a few times. Last visit, there were six of us with a hefty bill. We brought a birthday cake with us and it was cut into eight slices and brought out after dinner. By the way, although the restaurant had desserts, there were no birthday cake offerings. We were told there was a $2 charge, which seemed aggravating enough. Yet, when the bill came it was actually $16. This was more than the cost of the actual cake. When I spoke to the manager/owner he said that was the restaurant's policy and the charge was $2 per person. Never experienced anything like that before. It is usually an accommodation. He was very unapologetic and did not offer any consideration for this ridiculous charge. Although the food is adequate, I will NOT be a patron of this establishment. There are plenty of Italian restaurants to choose from around.
