“Today I was there with my grandkids. The food is excellent. My only complaint was when we ordered the ice cream , I was charged for a double scoop, but only received a single scoop, I told the waitress and she said that she has a big scooper funny I owned an ice cream store and there’s no such thing as a bigger scooper or ice cream scoops are basically the same . A double scoop means two scoops of ice creams on top of each other simple so the next time you go and ask for ice cream make sure you get two scoops not one.!!”

“La Stella Cucina Verace offers a 5-star dining experience that transports guests to Italy. The beautiful restaurant features a great ambiance with warm lighting, intimate tables, and a stylish yet welcoming vibe. The menu boasts delicious dishes, including the Salad, Rigatoni Calabrese, and bone marrow risotto. Customers have praised the gnocchi as the best they've ever tasted, and the bread starter with tasty spreads is a perfect way to begin the meal. Desserts like gelato add a sweet ending, and a new Piccinini Family wine was praised for its smooth, balanced flavor, making it a great complement to the dishes. The authentic Italian flavors are unmistakable and handcrafted, feeling like recipes passed down through generations but plated with modern elegance. Guests have noted that the service is friendly; however, it can be over-stretched, leading to longer waits between courses. The atmosphere is lively, with a live singer that some found overwhelming due to the noise level. Despite this, many have praised the overall experience, including the outstanding service and amazing food, such as osso bucco and pasta. La Stella Cucina Verace is a must-try for those seeking a special night out or a memorable celebration, offering more than just a meal but a true taste of Italy.”
