    Stella is STELLAR! I am visiting from out of town (never been to TX) before, and I was looking forward to enjoying some Texas BBQ. But, we opted for Italian this time around. I am not kidding... so happy we came here. If you have the chance, please come in and order the penne vodka. It was amazing!!!! Also - Detrick's service made our lunch experience even better.

    Cheers!

    We dropped in here during March 2025 for a drink or two, just having had lunch elsewhere. The bar service was great - efficient and friendly. We looked at their quite hefty list of Happy Hour specials and knew we would have to be back for that. The food coming out of the kitchen looked great - we saw pizza, pasta, salads, and some beautiful charcuterie boards as well as a beautiful veal chop. We will definitely come back for HH and some food next time. I see there are some bad reviews about this place because of its size and cramped feeling. Well, if you have ever been to Italy, then you would think that the layout makes it even more authentic. Impressive.

    Insalata Caprese - loved the addition of the avocado
    Sapna B.

    I'd say our experience here is okay. My daughter has celiac disease so she has to eat completely gluten free so I will say that I really appreciated that they were not only able to accommodate but our server was very knowledgeable on what was safe for her and anything she was unsure of she went and asked. First off, do NOT bring children here. We came here to celebrate my daughter's 8th bday and the music is so loud and with inappropriate language. And every time someone orders the pasta in the Parmesan wheel or is celebrating a bday they turn up the music so loud and you cannot hear anything. This really ruined the entire experience. We started with the charcuterie board which was good but all the cheeses were very sharp, it could've used something milder. We also got the caprese salad which was good, I loved the addition of the avocado (both apps were gluten free). For entrees we got the gluten free vodka pasta with chicken which was very good. We also got a gluten free margarita pizza which was disappointing as the crust was dry and thick. And then we got a special which was the steak florentine. We ordered it medium rare but it definitely came out more on the rare side and half of it was way over salted. We didn't send it back since it was such a huge dish it felt like that would've been an inconvenience. But wish we had because when we got the bill we saw that it was $135. For dessert we got the pavlova (gluten free) which was very good and the chocolate cake (gluten free) which was good but very rich and really should've been accompanied with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. All in all, we definitely wouldn't come back with kids, but even if it was just adults I don't think we'd be back.

    Chicken scaloppine Italian Chicken Sandwich
    Doug B.

    Wow! The Parmesan cheese wheel experience was unbelievable! And the pasta dish with light cream sauce, parmigiana, and fresh cracked pepper was exceptional! We added grilled chicken to get some protein. Our grand nephews are 2 1/2 and love the music. It was a little loud, but it's a celebration of food! The Caesar chicken scaloppine sandwich was great too with a side of fries! It has an outdoor small patio too. Try it you'll like it!

    Great espresso

    Excellent Italian food! First time for lunch and was very impressed! Octopus carpaccio was Excellent! Tagliatelle with Bolognese was Excellent! Highly recommended and I will be back.

    Seafood was not fresh - shrimp definitely tasted frozen.

    2 stars for the bartender and her bubbly personality! The rest was downhill... Food, ambiance and service all need serious help. Had a reservation for dinner at 6:30, didn't get seated until 7pm. We were squeezed into a corner booth that was split into 2, two seater tables. My husband spent our anniversary dinner basically on someone's else's first date. Waitress seemed rushed - she never told us the specials or offered us bread. I had to ask about them because I heard her rattle them off to the next table. I saw bread on other tables and asked about it. Then she brought us some - after we finished our dinner. Dinner was less than awful. The rigatoni was served with ice cold meatballs. Told our server and she apologized. Brought another entree TOO quickly which was concerning. My seafood spaghetti was not good at all. I could have made the same entree for a lot less. Hell, I should have just ate at home. Spent $160 for mediocre food, awful service and a loud, obnoxious atmosphere. Go for the wine... then leave.

    Eggplant Parmigiana

    What a great find. Someone from the hotel I was staying at recommended Stella to me, so I gave it a try. The bonus was that I hit it during Happy Hour! I sat at the bar since I was by myself. Israel and Jessie were the bartenders and took good care of me. Everyone that works there seemed very happy to be there which you don't always see at a restaurant. The food was good and the drinks were equally yummy. I recommend going there. It is a great place to hang out.

    Cacio e Pepe I added red pepper flakes
    Jessie R.

    This review is based on food alone. I ordered the cacio e Pepe and I got spaghetti with cream. Let's be clear cacio e Pepe should NEVER be made with cream. Also it had hardly any pepper. Literally no other definitive flavors other than cream. No garlic no parm nothing. And it cost $36. Not sure how there other dishes are but unfortunately after this experience I'll never know because I don't intend on going back. If you like bland Alfredo you may enjoy this dish otherwise, I'd skip it.

    Found this gem in southlake. From the outside you can't tell but as soon as you walk in from the hostess to the servers and especially the owner. You truly feel the Italian family sprite. You can see everyone love being there and everyone love to celebrate their occasions there. My husband and I usually sat at the bar. Roberto and Jessie are amazing. Foods are always excellent. Owner always came and say hello to us. This is definitely our go to Italian Restaurant and our happy place and walk out with a smile after dinner.

    Casual dress

    What is the dress code? Are cargo shorts and a nice shirt acceptable for a guy, or are jeans or khakis more in line with the overall environment?

    I think casual shorts and a nice shirt would be acceptable

    Do they have a Happy Hour?

    no and we were not impressed. Very expensive and pizza was terrible. The sauce looked like watered down tomato sauce.

    Do they do takeout orders?

    Yes

    Recently discovered this restaurant, and wow what an outstanding experience from beginning to end…read more We started with the calamari and burrata. The burrata was incredibly fresh, soft, and creamy, melting beautifully with every bite. The calamari had that perfect crisp texture that is so hard to find, and the marinara sauce was on another level, you could truly taste the fresh, rich tomato flavor. Then we we ordered the veal marsala, which was absolutely extraordinary. The veal was so tender, soft, and perfectly cooked, with a slight caramelized touch that made it even better. It was paired with broccolini that was cooked just right, with a delicious hint of garlic. My husband ordered a pizza, and honestly, it was unbelievable. The crust was fluffy and light, never heavy or overly doughy, with the perfect crisp on the edges. The toppings were balanced so well, and every slice looked beautifully arranged and carefully made. We also ordered the carbonara pasta, and it was incredible. The pancetta was crispy, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and you could tell it was made with real Parmesan cheese. It was creamy and satisfying without being too heavy like many carbonaras I've had before. The salad was just as impressive, fresh lettuce, perfectly dressed, with caramelized pecans that added the perfect sweetness and crunch. To finish, we had their famous tiramisu. I had to order it after seeing so many tables enjoying it, and I'm so glad I did. It was rich yet light, delicate, and absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, fresh bread with pesto was served, and everyone had a smile on their face. Truly an amazing experience that exceeded expectations. I can't wait to go back.

The first time that I came I wasn't too impressed with the green chile mac & cheese pizza but this next time after ordering something new, my expectations were blown away.

The pizza was cooked to just the right crisp with a very flavorful sauce, and the chicken parmesan had a perfectly cooked chicken with cheese on top and a delicious chicken alfredo pasta with 2 pieces of bread.

We were brought upstairs to this little loft area, which felt....like we were being punished. Now we were only a 2 top, so I can understand that they may not have a spot or wanted us to take up a 4-top on a Saturday night, but it felt...CRAMPED up there. This place really does seem fun, but it was very hard to enjoy it up in the attic... As far as the restaurant, it was very clean and well kept, no issues with how everything looked. Nothing was really out of place, although it did feel like the upstairs was a storage area. We ordered the Killer Queso for an appetizer, which was served with fritos. Odd choice for fritos, but hey, all good, didnt take away from the appetizer. What took away from the appetizer was the fact that this felt like it was heated up from a can. The cheese was not really seasoned well and it was already clumpy, like it had been left out for a while. Then we ordered 2 pizzas; The Bees Knees (spicy red sauce, hot soppressata, fresh moz, basil, honey) and Local Goat & Fig (bacon, goat cheese, free moz, dried figs, balsamic glaze, basil). Here is where I continue to say that pizza is a very opinionated meal, so your taste may differ, but this was my take. Flavor was there, I liked the pizza, it had a nice crispy crust, however, as far as the bee's knees, there was no spicy that pizza at all, like zero heat. The Goat & Fig was good, like the flavors they put on that pizza. The crust did lack some flavor and could have used some olive oil maybe. There was a nice crispy to the crust, like I said, but ZERO crisp on the bottom of it, which is odd. they had a nice wood fired oven (at least I think it was wood, hard to tell from the attic). So you thin they could get a nice bottom, but hey, it is what it is. Drinks. Had a OB Hef and also a Prickly Pear Mule, both were DIVINE, best part of the evening! Staff. Well, lets just say, she started off like she was going to be fun, but really felt like we were annoying her to have been seated up there. I could understand with having to walk up and down a narrow staircase with food and drinks. She must have passed us 5-6 times and we had not touched any more of our pizza. She finally did bring us a box for it. Overall, price was not bad, the drinks were awesome, the service was meh and the meal was meh. I think that this place could be KILLING IT, and maybe it was just an off night, perhaps we will try it again with a bigger party to see how it is.
