Sarah greeted us promptly, Introduced herself and came with still water already In hand. Throughout the meal the food was exquisite and very well executed. everything arrived on time and tasted delicious! Sarah is what really made the experience though. She was attentive but not too much to interrupt our flow of conversation, she was polite and, most importantly to me, she was conversational herself. Engaging us in conversation related to the food, and even joining our conversation in ordee to segue into asking if we'd like dessert ect. I loved it! 10/10 and would come again.

But they got Buccatini. Woohoo! Beet salad - we are a fan beets anything so it was good. Brussels sprouts- flavor was good but overcooked and mushy. PEI mussel - was really good. Highly recommended Pulpo (grilled octopus) - a tad overcooked but not too bad. Focaccia bread w/ Ricotta cheese - yummy. The only sad part was when our waiter took the Ricotta away before we can scraped off every little bit of cheese from the container without us realizing it. Pasta carbonara- barely any pancetta but yummy. Pasta bolognese- I am not a fan of bolognese. Gnocchi- soft and fluffy pillows but sauce is alright. Desserts: Pistachio gelato- homemade and delicious Tiramisu- ok but I personally prefer ones with more espresso and alcohol.

The waitress was amazing, in top of all her tables with drinks, never rushed us, provided suggestions and was very nice. M The food was delicious! We tried the stuffed mushrooms, the bread and salad, the Dill Shrimp and Tiramisu for dessert. Everything was hot, fresh and well paced. This is an excellent, romantic spot. Dimly lit tables, individual booths, you can have a conversation. We will be back with our family for another meal soon.

The interior was a little too dark. The dinner rolls basket that comes with our pasta is tasty, but I'm shocked to see the rolls were just swimming in butter. The salad is the only 10/10 highlight. I got the sausage spaghetti with their home made sauce. After I had three bites, the sauce already separated, with a pool of clear liquid at the bottom of the spaghetti. The flavor is on the very plain side. And the sausage was just ok.

We were promptly seated and had the place to ourselves for a short while. We brought our own wines so our waitress quickly opened the bottles and read the specials of the day. We have been here before but it has been few years since our last visit; we were not disappointed. You will not be disappointed with the classics or the Special Platter. I opted for the special Blacked Grouper (38) my wife ordered the Seafood Alfredo (28), and Caesar Salad. The salad could have been a more traditional blended salad but the highlights were the entrees. Both were perfectly prepared and a good price point. We ended our evening with their classic Tiramisu and an order of Gelato. Both were excellent and well priced. The highlight was the private room and our service...it's like a classic Trattoria. Thank you for a wonderful evening and anniversary!

My wife and I spent an evening at the Marlowe and they were very accommodating as our reservation had fallen out of the system (probably due to my own user error) but as I mentioned they found a table for us and made sure we didn't miss our chance to partake in their phenomenal menu. I had the fall fashion which is their take on an old fashioned and it was terrific and the Rye whiskey played nicely with the amaretto. My wife had some sort of Sicilian wine cocktail that was advertised as brighter and better mimosa and they nailed the description. It was an elevated mimosa that was light, refreshing and bubbly. We started with the wedge salad and potato croquettes. The salad was as phenomenal, the bacon adding the right smoky and savory flavor and the dressings paired well with the fresh crisp lettuce. I was slightly disappointed we didn't have heirloom tomatoes as they were advertised and instead used grape / cherry tomatoes (the menu listing mentioned heirloom and I'm a tomato snob). The Gorgonzola wasn't overpowering and paired really well with the balsamic. The potato croquettes needed a little more seasoning or salt and were somewhat bland but the presentation was terrific and they were cooked perfectly. It might have been the bacon aioli but it just needed a little more zip. For mains my wife went with the Bouillabaisse and asked if she could add a bit of the house made fettuccine to which the chef was very accommodating in making the addition. With wonderful seasoning and an abundant amount of shrimp, scallop, salmon and mussels she couldn't finish her serving. This dish was fragrant and cooked to perfection. I had the filet and it was also amazing. Cooked a perfect medium rare and held amazing flavor. It was a solid and good sized filet that was definitely the star the show. The asparagus was grilled perfectly and seasoned wonderfully. The confit beet was amazing and held terrific flavoring and lended to the beautiful presentation and plating. We really wanted to try the crème brûlée as it looked amazing but we didn't save any room. The service was beyond terrific and Anthony took great care of us from start to finish. We watched the Chef oversee the kitchen and he didn't let a single plate pass through that kitchen without his terrific attention to detail. Overall this restaurant stood out heads and shoulders above other restaurants of similar type and it immediately jumps to the top of the list for fine dining in the Knoxville area. I can't wait to recommend this place to friends and family and this is the first time I wish I could give six stars!

The meatball appetizer was three mini meatballs. I've seen meatballs on sub sandwiches bigger than these. The lasagna, was really without any sauce. It was a bolognese sauce. Also it lacked the stretchy cheese pull that one expects from a lasagna. The pasta dishes from what I tried was a little to al dente, there was too much chew in the pasta. That said for the prices that they charge to not offer a side salad or at least some bread with the meal is disappointing.

The food is amazing. For appetizers I would recommend getting the focaccia and meatballs. Entree wise, I would HIGHLY recommend splitting the Pappardelle e Ragú di Maiale Bianco and something else with another one of your table mates. The portion size is perfect for one person but you'll want to try more than one item. If you are there in the summer, you must try the Tomato Martini (PLEASE bring it back for next summer's menu!). The service and ambiance of Osteria Stella and Brother Wolf is what completely sets them apart. OS is a high class, quiet, romantic restaurant with dark colors and knowledgeable servers who value your experience. BW is simply a high end bar. That said, BW is much more fast paced and really my only complaint, the music was absurdly loud the night we were there for dinner and the restaurant was crowded, so everyone was trying to talk over the music and you almost had to yell to even hear the person sitting right beside you. If going to OS, you would likely need reservations, especially on a weekend. With BW, they don't take reservations to my knowledge and it's a free for all for an open seat at the bar or an open table. Really the difference is what kind of vibe you're going for.

At the recommendation of some friends, we tried a new appi and re-ordered the crispy rice/crab appi which Jason recommended the first time and they were all fabulous. The crispy rice crab appi was as good as we remembered and teh bacon wrapped fig stuffed with goat cheese, served on a plate with a tomato based sauce and pesto was 5/5, great flavor combo! We had the fish special, Wagyu burger (with the onions and aoli) and a cheese burger. The burger at Seasons used to be my favorite, but now the burger here takes 1st place. We opted for some shredded cheese on our fries which was a great addition. One side of fries was not quite as fresh and crispy as the other one, but we didn't finish all of them anyway. The flourless torte was rich and amazing and enough goodness for three of us to share. Jason does a great job of recommending foods and is prompt and attentive We look forward to our next visit at the Kennedy and plan to ask for one of his tables.
