    This could have been an amazing date night. We ordered an expensive bottle of wine, that Mike brought out on a cart and decanted for us. The decor was swanky and upscale. There was jazzy cocktail music playing in the background. We ordered the caprese salad and it was the best we've ever had. The heirloom tomatoes were sliced paper thin. The pasta was homemade and absolutely delicious (both the tricolor fettuccine in truffle sauce and the anglotti in sage butter sauce). What ruined our evening? The service. Our server, Luca P., basically ignored us all night. We never got the complimentary bread until the end of the meal when we finally got tired of waiting and asked the busser for it (the Italian bread was delicious, fresh out of the oven, but the 3 accompanying butters were underwhelming). The portion sizes didn't make any sense. My husband only had 8 pieces and I had so much I only finished half. We've been to Italy, we understand European plates. But if someone had come to check on us, my husband would have ordered more food (or Luca should have mentioned the small portion when he ordered). Since it's supposed to be a fine dining establishment, we expected to have a manager check on us. That never happened. This was NOT a $360 dining experience (which was our bill for the worst customer service we've ever experienced).

    Foodie Alert! My friend had a little girls' night at La Stella, and we experienced such amazing service; the staff was very attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect, very relaxed with live music. The guest musician did a fantastic job covering various songs. We ordered the Agnolotti Pizzicati and Bronzino. The Bronzino was perfectly crisp, paired with a warm butter sauce and capers. It was so juicy and tender that it literally melted in my mouth. It was delicious!

    Fabulous Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 Food : 5 The food was just amazing! I had a gnocchi dish's it was outstanding the pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was full of flavor and just so good. We also shared tiramisu which was fabulous. My friend ordered a different pasta dish and said it was excellent z The ambiance here is very elegant and quiet, making it easy to talk. The sommelier was very thorough and friendly and guided us to a perfect bottle of Pinot Noir. It was a very enjoyable dining experience.

    We had a big dinner event here and gosh I forgot how good this place is! The drinks were phenomenal and every dish, especially the pastas, was so well done. Nicely al dente and the flavors were perfect. Parking was tricky, but we found some temporary 1-2 hour spots. Great service

    Came here for a birthday dinner last night and I'm so glad we did! La Stella Cucina does this not just well but DIVINE! Every single meal was cooked to PERFECTION! The octopus was not rubbery which I was surprised! It was cooked wonderfully! Also got the Steak and asked for medium rare and boy did they deliver! Branzino also perfect. This is one restaurant I will definitely be returning! Staff service is top notch.

    I had the best experience here! My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and i was immediately greeted with a birthday card from the staff! We valeted our car for 15$ right outside of the restaurant but there may be other parking available. We made reservations beforehand and were seated very fast. I had a delicious aperol spritz and my boyfriend got one of their signature cocktails. Our waiter was super friendly and made the experience great! We ordered the meatballs as an appetizer and they were delicious and came out super quickly! Next We got cacio e pepe gnocchi and my boyfriend got the wagyu ribeye. Both were AMAZING. Finally, we got a complementary dessert for my birthday and free limoncello shots. I can't recommend this place enough if you are celebrating something and want a great meal. Ambiance is amazing and food is great!

    I can not say enough terrific things about La Stella Cucina Verace. We had a not great experience our first visit, but the second try was amazing! Every single detail was perfection. Ambiance, service and food was all impeccable. Highly recommend a visit to this place for a special night out.

    Really nice place

    I live at the Atelier, which is just up the street from this restaurant, and I decided to stop in by myself for a cocktail and a meal. I sat at the bar, and my bartender was Paco (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly). He was exceptionally great his service was phenomenal. I ordered the calamari, which was very good. I typically prefer my calamari a bit more crispy, but this was still perfect and very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it. I also ordered the branzino, which was delicious and very filling. For dessert, I had the tiramisu. It was served in a beautiful martini-style glass with cocoa powder on top. It was very good and beautifully presented. Everyone was nice, pleasant, and kind, which is why I am giving this restaurant five stars. The ambience was lovely, and there was a live male singer whose songs were enjoyable. Paco recommended a very smooth butter Chardonnay which I enjoyed. The Espresso Martini was good and the lamberts! Overall, the vibe was very chill, and the food is good the ambience is nice and calming the service is exceptional!!

    My boyfriend & I visited Dec 2022 for his birthday. I thought I had left a review then This spot is still our top restaurant, & we only visited once. From the food, to the atmosphere, to our amazing server, Marco M - 3 years later and we still talk about how amazing the service was, best we have had to this day (hopefully he's still there, if so, ask for him). Made my boyfriend's birthday visiting La Stella If you're looking for amazing food, ambiance, & hospitality, you NEED to try La Stella! Especially for a special occasion

    Came on a cold Sunday night, wasn't overly busy, could get a table pretty easy. There's valet , street and a parking garage near by. Started off with the meatballs, which were delicious tasty! Then got the beef short rib pasta and the gnocchi. Friends got the caprese salad. I loved the food!!! Main complaint was that the portions were too small for a fat guy like me! Would come back for sure though.

    ***Update 2025*** La Stella is one of the top Italian restaurants in DFW IMO. Everything we've had has been so delicious! We decided to go to celebrate our anniversary! We were lucky that we stumbled upon the restaurant week specials! Everything was absolutely delicious! My favorite was the pasta (AGNOLOTTI PIZZICATI veal ossobuco filling, sage butter, veal reduction, crispy prosciutto di parma). I would order everything again!! The PIUMA IBERICA (acorn fed iberico pork loin, arugula salad) was also fantastic. The meat was so tender and juicy!

    A great upscale Italian restaurant! My favorite were the meatballs and the octopus appetizers. The Meatballs were pretty tender and with a delicious red tomato sauce (which also goes great with their bread ) The octopus was also very tender and smoky. A nice combination with grilled (?) vegetables and especially tomato and lemon. The pasta was ever good. I appreciate a good house made pasta. Fried shrimp and calamari was a huge position of a very solid classic deep fried seafood. There's also some white wish mixed in within. The service was great and very attentive. We were not planning to order alcohol since we had plenty already that week and the sommelier (or the manager, not very sure who was it) came to table and still tried to offer wine.

    Great fancy Italian restaurant over all. I say that because I think they have a dress code here. The highlight was all the appetizers. Great sea food dishes. Great service. If you sit in the kitchen side you can hear what goes on in the kitchen from the guy saying "i don't care" (x9) in a row to a random staff member speaking cross over dialect non native Spanish to the kitchen staff. The meat pasta we ordered was good. Homemade fresh pasta noodles. But nothing exactly that blew me away being just a red sauce pasta with ground waygu. It was just made right.

    My husband surprised me with a chocolate making class at Chocolate Secrets…read more We were the only ones who signed up for the class and they only do it Monday - Friday ( we were coming out of town so if you're coming please know you can't do it on the weekends ) They give you molds and different colors and toppings for the chocolates . The chocolates is definitely high quality you can taste it They give you white , milk, and dark chocolate And base colors to make other colors so remember your color charts lol The class comes with a. Free drink and tour Since we had a few bumps as they didn't realize there was a class they through in a tasting of chocolates which we were extremely grateful for! They also have live bands on Friday ! I would definitely come back just to relax and eat chocolates Full review soon on ig and TikTok @SoVeryLoud

    I had been wanting to go to Chocolate Secrets for a while, and finally made it here on Sunday after…read morebrunch with a friend. I got a cafe mocha and it was very good. Because it was my first time, they gave me a free chocolate to try, which was a wonderful surprise. Unfortunately, they didn't have one of the flavors I wanted to try, but I had the rosemary chocolate caramel and it was great! I ended up buying a cute milk-:and dark- chocolate bar, and two more caramel bonbons to take home. The prices aren't cheap but for great chocolate made in-house, it's worth it. I'd like to come back again to try their food, and see the live jazz. Very cute shop with excellent and friendly service. I'll definitely be back.
