The most horrible pretentious wanna be a restaurant atmosphere I've ever experienced. The food is horrible. The service is terrible and the drinks are far too expensive. I would avoid this place like the plague. The only way to improve is hiring new kitchen staff front of the house, staff and new owners read more

Truly one of those places that you don't know what to expect until you go yourself! A "speakeasy" vibe with a fine dining experience. Really enjoyed all the items we tried. Servers were knowledgeable about the menu and were helpful in making decisions. Was glad we tried this place during a stop in Boulder! read more

We drove about 40 miles to have date night at this restaurant since it was is Michelin Guide. It was a bit hard to find the front door but the mystery gave it the feel of a speakeasy. We were greeted by an Italian hostess who was lovely and welcoming. Our server, Florin, was top notch being knowledgeable, made great recommendations, perfect wine pairings, and did not rush our experience. We shared all of our dishes and ended up taking food home. We started with the deconstructed Caesar with anchovies. Neither of us have been a fan of anchovies but we loved them on this salad. They added flavor without being overpowering. He suggested the beef tartar. It was a perfect blend of flavors and used Colorado Angus beef. It comes with 3 crostini's which was not the proper ratio to the tartar. However, Florin, appeared with a few more right when we were needing them. We followed with the Funghi Risotto which was cooked perfectly and arrived hot and creamy. There was a foam that took the dish to the next level. The next dish we chose was the sea bass. The fish was cooked perfectly as were the potatoes and vegetables. Although we enjoyed every bite for our taste we would have preferred a bit more seasoning and less chive oil. We ended with pistachio crème brûlée that was out of this world. We love crème brûlée and this was the best and most unique we have ever had. They spared no expense when it came to the design, dinnerware, fresh ingredients, and staff training. Overall a great experience and on the drive home we were planning our next trip back. read more

A must try in all of Colorado! Amazing food, great and attentive service, ambiance was incredible. Drinks were also divine. We recommend taking advantage of the specials of the night as they are limited to that day and so delicious. Very cool if you go on Fridays night to hear the live DJ. Would 100% recommend and will return. read more

An unmarked door on Walnut street is tricky to find setting the ambience for this new eatery in the heart of Boulder. The space is lively, with a large bar in the round, and the energy is reminiscent of power lunch meets Boulder townie kinda vibe. We ordered our drinks and soaked up the vibe as our pleasing waiter outlined the menu in what I perceived to be an Eastern European accent. We started with the house charcuterie and the raw shaved artichoke. For a charcuterie I would say that the value was not there for what was served (see picture) and they could not accommodate my GF wife with any GF bread substitutes. The artichoke seemed like a good culinary idea but lacked seasoning in our estimation. The secondi plates were very nice: the mushroom risotto was silky and intensely flavorful and the Colorado lamb ragout was appropriately gamey but perhaps a bit out-done by the pomegranate kernels that gave the sweet rather than savory the front billing. My wife loved the lavender strawberry panna cotta. We ordered several wines by the glass so we could try a few different offerings and I would say that for a 25.00 pour I expected more from this Barolo. All in all a decent experience and maybe I would return when the staff and the pans become more seasoned, but for now that will have to wait a while! Robbo, from Colorado read more

I recommend this restaurant- the whole vibe is a unique experience and the 2 hours we were there passed quickly! Food and Drink- 4/5. The best was the whole fish- I highly recommend. I also really loved the non-alcoholic tonic with clove, cinnamon and sage. The olive oil with the break was weirdly good. The filet came with a tallow candle which was unique. I wasn't a fan of the sauce (overall I dislike any sauce on steak) and the funghi were kind of bland. Steak was cooked perfectly though. The soups were just ok, the chickpea one was missing some flavor. The side of potatoes were not great- really dry and lacked flavor. Service - 5/5. Our server was so sweet and kind. She helped us with wine and checked on us appropriately. Ambiance- 5/5. Has an upscale speakeasy vibe. I liked the rendition of the Sistine chapel virtual art and the DJ was awesome. It was slow vibes and awesome mixing (nothing too aggressive). Value- 4/5. Definitely the whole fish was worth the cost. I did get full from the food and our bill for two people was $200 with tip. It's a good, special night out kind of price tag and you can try a lot of the menu. If the soups and sides were better this would feel more worth the $$. read more

3.5 stars rounded up. The ambiance is super cool but it is disappointing that there are no windows. One of the best things about Boulder restaurants are their views. The cocktails and appetizers were great and we loved the visiting DJ. The service was a little weird. Like, they were friendly but there were times when they'd vanish (we had two servers). The main meals were... the venison was pretty underdone, even for my husband who likes his meat pretty red. He liked his lobster risotto but his favorite was the octopus appetizer. Neither of us enjoyed our different purple potato dishes. It was a good evening, but I'm not sure it was worth the cost. We'll probably come back for cocktails and appetizers and go somewhere else for a main meal. read more

Stella's Cucina - Super swanky Bar - Italian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Being a New York transplant I've long lamented the sorry state of the Boulder Culinary Scene. Stella's is like a badly needed beacon of light, finally bringing NY-style fine dining to Boulder. The style, service, menu, and food quality sets a new standard for our town. Try to get a rez while you still can, and while it is still reasonably priced enough to eat at multiple times a week (I've already been twice). Thanks Stella for bringing the best in NYC to the Boulder bubble! Oh and I'm not sure if you can reserve in yelp, as I got my rez at Open table. read more

Loved our experience at Stella's Cucina. We were a large group, so we sampled most of the menu and while the food was good, the dessert was the standout. Truly transformational pastry. All the hats off to Pastry Chef Zhuban. I seriously googled to see if they have a cookbook. The pastry was really extraordinary. I would come back and have an appetizer and four desserts. read more

I think this place would be a 5 if not for a few missteps. First the service was excellent. Very attentive, helpful, friendly and pleasant. Nothing was wrong about the service at all. Next the design of the restaurant (the ambiance) was perfect. One of the nicest interior designs I've seen in a restaurant. A lot of attention to detail to the lighting was obviously made here and it was worth the time invested. The appetizers were mostly a hit. The Insalata a la Mano (a deconstructed ceasar salad) was delicious. It was very beautifully plated, the flavor combinations were well balanced, definitely recommend this. The Bruschette Miste was also extremely tasty. The mains were overall pretty good, but for some reason most of us were slightly underwhelmed and none of us could put our finger on why. I got the Gnocchi Senesi. It had a real home cooked feel to it, but I didn't feel like it was something that stood out enough fro it to be worth the whopping $35. The crunchy texture added was a potato skin deep fried, which is *interesting* but not enough. For the most part it was mushy. The dish did not really taste "elevated" to the level of the decor, appetizers, and the other dishes at the table. My wife got the Mare e Bosco Risotto, which was the star dish in my opinion at our table. If you are a nice restaurant and you put Risotto on the menu, it better be perfect. However, the truffle might be a bit excessive and be unnecessarily driving the price up. Just putting truffle or any other expensive ingredient on doesn't necessarily elevate a dish. My brother in law got the Spigola al Forno, the sea bass, and it was also excellent. It was so tender, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, etc... Nothing bad to say about it. My mother in law got the Arista al Finocchio, it was pretty good. It's a pork chop, so I'm a bit biased against them since I don't ever enjoy that cut, but she said it was great, so I'll take her word for it. The vegetables were prepared excellently. My father in law got the venison special (forgot the specific name of this dish). It was flavorful but the portions were incredibly chincy even for venison. Personally it seemed a bit tough, but the flavors were on point, so I'd still consider it great. The worst part were the cocktails. For such a beautiful fancy bar with such creative recipes the execution of the drinks was very disappointing. Every single drink we got was overly sweet, the balance was off in the sweetness completely. My mother in law ordered their Manhattan with low sweetness as the request, and it was sweeter than any Manhattan I would ever prefer. Then my brother in law ordered it even less sweet than hers, it was still sweeter than I think anyone would expect. I think the combination of the two amaros is overpowering the drink and should be reconsidered. I ordered the punch al latte. and while it was very creative with the golden cereal milk, i feel like the allspice dram should have been subbed out in the recipe for something less sweet as it was overpowering. I also ordered their old fashioned. Again, far too sweet which was very confusing since it's an old fashioned, it really shouldn't be this sweet (just like the Manhattan). A few of them got the L'allodola, yet again, too sweet. It's such a bummer because this is a take on the jungle bird which is one of my favorite all time drinks, and they actually used Campari (a lot of places sub in Aperol and it's not the right flavor). The only twists on this over a jungle bird was they used Meyers dark rum (which has quite a bit of sweetness) and added a falernum liqueur (which should be sweet too). It's unfortunate because this one said "balanced" in the menu, yet it was another too sweet drink. The desserts were all very creative and tasty. Reminds me of the deserts at the former restaurant Arcana in Boulder. Definitely try them out if you go there. I had the Terra Misu and it was filled with flavor and perfect texture. My wife had the chocolate thingy (forgot the name) and it was really well executed. What's funny is the sweetness balance was better in the desserts than it was in the cocktails! None of the desserts were overly sweet! If they fixed up the drinks this would be an easy 5 stars, but at this price I can't give it 5 stars when the drinks aren't up to par with so many other good places in Boulder. read more

I went here for my 24th birthday with my boyfriend and we had a very pleasant experience! We went as early as possible (only bc we booked last minute & that was the only time available). I think it was 4:30pm when we got there & it was awesome bc we were the only people there at first, and then slowly the place became packed with people and music and it was a great time! Also the server we had was super lovely. And amazing food. 10/10 would go again! read more

Definitely has a cool factor being hidden away with the discreet entrance. Driving by, I didn't even spot it. Interior is very classy and you might feel under-dressed if you're just wearing a T-shirt. The service was impeccable and staff was very attentive. Menu is smaller than I expected but the food was very rich with flavor. I was surprised though that they don't have soup or salad before the meal with the entree. They might offer those things if explicitly ordered but was surprised they didn't come along with the meal. The portion sizes are smaller but they are still quite filling. Perfect location for a date night away from the kids. read more

Stella's Cucina - Scallops & truffle risotto - Italian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Cool space but incredibly uncomfortable chairs. If you manage to sit in one of the booths, they look better but for a 6'3" 250lb guy, it was silly. Excellent service and our server was great (Chris)! Food was very "OK". Except the pork chop I ordered for something like $35 (!) was extremely tough. As-in, I had to really work at it with the steak knife they provided to cut it. It was a special occasion so I wasn't about to deal with sending it back and all of the fun that goes with that. Mushroom side was excellent! Everything else was just OK and when you factor the prices, well, I won't do it again. I'll come back but only to sit at the bar perhaps. read more

Unfortunately the food was caked in salt and that's all I could taste! The bread was teeth breaking and the "Terra Misu" topping was so hard it felt like eating pop rocks. The waitress didn't seem to care about us much. Overall just was expecting a better experience. read more

I went here for my sister's birthday and it was quite the experience! It felt like we were stepping into a swanky upscale big city restaurant. Definitely not Boulder vibes, dare I say in a good way! Presentation was key here. The service was impeccable and everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were high, but the dishes were delicious and unique! There were a couple of twists on more standard dishes that we loved and some that were not our favorite, but it was fun trying everything anyway. Truly a fun experience that was so aesthetically pleasing we took way too many pictures than necessary. Definitely come here for a special occasion or if you want to pretend you're in the big luxurious city. Enjoy! read more

The food was excellent. We ordered an appetizer (affettati misti) and two pasta dishes (gamberi gialli and mare e bosco risotto) and they were flavorful and delicious! We capped off the dinner with some limoncello! It was a wonderful ambiance and the jazz trio that played (we were there on Sunday) was not intrusive at all with their musical sound which allowed us to enjoy our conversation. The service was also great - we had an Italian waiter with whom we practiced our Italian! The food is a bit on the pricy side, so be prepared for a bigger bill. Great job Stella Cucina! read more

Always a 5 star experience! Henry and the team hosted a fantastic event for NYE. Each course was delicious and well thought out. We loved the tortino di ricotta and enjoyed everything from the tasting menu. The espresso martinis were fab as always. Definitely a place to celebrate! read more

Let's talk about the VIP treatment by the handsome doorman and management. Immediately welcomed at the bar and excellent late night drink special and tasty food menu. First visit is later on a Saturday night when most other places closed the kitchen... not here and it smells divine. Everyone is so happy to be here S I'm looking forward to a quiet dinner revisit during the well soon. read more

Glad we tried this place. Menus options were weak and minimal. We had the steak tar tar to start. It was average and nothing made it a stand out. Have had much better in a few different Denver name restaurants. Not different or unique and overpriced for what it is. Had the scallop risotto. Was very flavorful however like the tar tar it also had truffles in it. So half way thru this part of my meal I'm truffled out. Over use of truffles shows a lack of diversity in menu design The red shrimp saffron was pasta was extremely over flavored with saffron and while the presentation was well executed the plate was hard to get thru and taste anything but saffron. Very disappointing as with a hint of saffron and a homemade paste this could be a stand out dish. The bread came hot and had a lack of flavor and with the ability to source some great flowers for bread here in Denver how can you not make a better bread. The olive oil was very strong in flavor and did not blend well with the bread. Great bar with a good wine selection and drink menu. We were over dressed for this place as people sat around in wrinkled shirts, flip flops, a women wearing her husbands long shirt as a dress and should have shown up in shorts T and flip flops right from the pool and would not have felt so over dressed. The music was played by a DJ and not sure what that served except to play music that created a somber and very sleepy room The atmosphere is great with the natural light over the bar and the design of the space. If your in the neighborhood a seat at the bar is worth the creative drink selection. There were 2 of us and when she brought the bill she handed us 1 drink coupon for the new brunch. So I have it to my guest not to be rude but it was tacky that they could not give one to each guest. It's the principle and tacky. read more

This new restaurant seems out of place for Boulder. It's got a nice swanky vibe that just doesn't fit with the outdoorsy, earthy town vibe of boulder. The patrons when I went there in January seemed to be mostly the well-heeled nouveau types that have moved in to Boulder of late...at least that's the impression I got from the people watching and the same talk at the bar. The food was excellent. We had the charcuterie and oysters for starters and my pasta with lamb sausage was delicious. Let's see how this trendy restaurant keeps up. read more

We drove 40 miles from south of Denver to Boulder for a return visit to a restaurant we enjoyed last spring. When we arrived we noticed a lot of people eating with their coats on in a way too overcrowded dining room. We asked to be seated in the heated section but they seemed to be having problems with the heating system. There was a small space heater by the bar. We were seated at a small rickety table that was nearly impossible to get into since the backs of the chairs of nearby tables were touching ours. It was noisy and frankly the place needs more than a little spit and polish. We decided not to stay and went back to the car to check yelp for something nearby. We found Stella and checked OpenTable which said there was no availability for 90 minutes. I called and they cheerfully said they could accommodate us. It was about 2 blocks from the car and we had a great parking spot so we decided to brave the cold wind and walk. The entrance is so obscure we went into a busy bar to ask for directions. The bartender said let me show you, I get this all the time and walked us right next door about 10 feet away to a strange looking door with a small letter S on it. He even opened the door for us. There is a long hallway, about 20 feet, leading to the hostess stand where we were welcomed like royalty. Then they take you around the corner and we felt like we were in Wizard of OZ when it switched from black and white to glorious color. Our shivering bones, aggravation and frustration instantly melted away. My first impression was like I was in a George Jetson cartoon. The predominant color is white with a black ceiling with a large skylight. The room is small but seems much larger with the mirrored back wall with a constantly evolving art display made up of 9 large screen displays that is mesmerizing, but don't try to figure out what you are looking at. The seating is comfortable with ample room between other diners. The lighting is subdued but adequate so you don't need a flashlight to read the menu and can actually see what you are eating. Everything is spotlessly clean. There was a talented trio of guitar, Jason Greenlaw, bass and keyboard playing music perfect for the setting at just the right volume. I knew we were going to like this place. Service was impeccable. It has been years since we were served so professionally. I had the oxtail ragu stuffed pasta. The filling had the texture of a very light mousse and the pasta was bicolored with thin brown pinstripes. I have rolled many a sheet of fresh pasta and was fascinated trying to figure out how that was done. I had to look it up and found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxn-UDHzbiQ. Can't wait to try it myself. It made a beautiful plate lightly sauced on top with the tomato and a swirl of the fonduta garnished with crispy fried sage leaves. I often wish I was that creative. My wife had the venison medallions, three thick slices from the center cut of the tenderloin beautifully cooked medium rare and artfully plated. Unfortunately I never got to taste any of it since it disappeared so quickly. Even the focaccia was exceptional. The predominantly Italian wine list is amazing. I will have to do some homework before we return since I never heard of so many of the offerings. I don't often take this much time to do a review and rarely give 5 stars. We almost never walk out of a restaurant without commenting on having endured some, and sometimes intolerable shortcomings. But this was the rare exception. read more

This is an absolutely superb restaurant. I sat down for a business dinner on 10/12/23 and was fortunate to have about 15 different dishes family style to choose from. They were 15/15 on food. Similarly, the service was superb, timely, polite, effective and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. read more

Stella's Cucina - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Some dishes were very sub par. Had the ribollita, my absolute favorite soup in the world. I have to say this was the worst I've ever had! It was 100% void of all flavor and salt! It was like they opened up a can of beans and threw a crust of bread on top: absolutely horrible! (Saturday night September 30th). Then I had the sea bass. I don't usually equate bones with sea bass but twice I had to spit out a mouthful of bones into my napkin in front of my two friends. This place really has it down with their service and atmosphere, but if they want to stick around they're going to have to do a lot more for the actual food, especially as our bill for three people with drinks was $350 before tip. The appetizers were quite tasty but the portions for those were very small so we each got about two bites of each. read more

What an amazing experience! The ambiance, the service, the food were all outstanding! The husband and I scheduled an early dinner before a concert and I am so glad we decided to try Stella's. First, you must know that there is no sign outside. It's a silver door with an S next to it. (See pic). It's a little mysterious! But once you enter you are greeted with the kindest most professional staff who put their whole effort into making sure you have an amazing night. The decor is so elegant and beautiful but also welcoming and comfortable at the same time. We started with a take on an Aperol spritz that was so light and aromatic and refreshing. We also had the charcuterie which had the most delicious buttery meats! For our dinner I ordered a dish that I don't know how to pronounce and probably won't spell right, but it was a tagliolini dish with lamb, pomegranate and mint. The flavors were simple and delicious! My husband had a clam and spaghetti dish and loved it! He said the clams were so fresh! I highly recommend to come to Stella's if you're looking for a unique and delicious dining experience! read more

The food was tasty, but eccentric, so that is something to keep in mind. The service was great. Our waiter was attentive and polite. My main complaint is that the portions at this restaurant are extremely small, yet it was still very expensive; however, the unique combination of flavors in the food was very good. read more

The ambience and interior design is only one reason you will love this restaurant. The unassuming outside leads you to an open dinning room with a beautiful bar in the middle, which sets you up for an amazing meal. We had the burrata with caviar and some exceptional cocktail, including a twist on a New York sour. The sea bass was perfectly seasoned and delicious, our server Floren paired this with an amazing white wine. For dessert we got an espresso martini and tarte. If you are feeling fancy. Highly recommend! read more

A relatively high-priced restaurant (dinner for two with a drink-a-piece $234), one entree was terrible (the duck was tasteless and so tough it was hard to cut). The rest of the food, including desserts, was excellent. The atmosphere was visually attractive but the noise level (for an elderly male who wears hearing aids) was so high I had difficulty hearing my partner across a small table and had to ask her to repeat herself throughout the meal. Would not go back. read more

Truly outstanding in every way. Stella's is so good I heard about it from a restauranteur in Philadelphia a year before it even opened. Stella's is so good that I almost died because the *salad* was so delicious. And it just got better with each course. Stella's is so good that even after sitting in the dining room for nearly two hours, we kept discovering new design features that blew our minds. It's truly an exceptional space. Stella's is so good I dreamed about it after eating there last night, and then cried when I woke up this morning because I wasn't at Stella's. Brava, Stella! read more

I can't believe it, we were so excited to go to Stella's. The place is beautiful, very very well done, the people are amazing, the food was horrific. I really thought finally Boulder was getting a big city style amazing restaurant. I'm assuming this place will be out of biz pretty soon, I hope who ever moves in makes the food a priority. also quite odd was the attire of some of the people eating, I think a place like this would upscale a bit and not let just anyone in. But maybe they are desperate to fill seats, either way, I'm gutted, I really thought this was going to be perfection, instead we both had food poisoning, maybe the undercooked scallops or the sea bass. Get a coke it's the best thing on menu. read more

The food and service were very good. The ambiance is a bit pretentious and overpriced for my taste. There is no outdoor signage for the restaurant. Just a door with an S on it. I guess we're not cool enough to have known that was the entrance for this "supercool" restaurant. The address listed for it is outside another door that is locked. Fortunately, we saw someone walk out of the "S" door. The restaurant is entirely an interior space with no windows. I was underwhelmed with the experience for the price, but still gave it 4 stars, as the food and service were good. read more

Favorite restaurant in town by far! The bar is beautiful, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great!

Decor, architecture are great, 5 Star, Unfortunately the service is unrefined and food is just okay. Dined with friends, our first visit. We were seated promptly and the room is visually very appealing, the wood, art, lighting and furniture are first class. Live jazz trio was a great touch! Cocktails took a while and then they delivered 3 of the four cocktails and informed us that they had to go to the store room for one of the liquors for the fourth drink. So we sat there with our cocktails and patiently waited for the fourth, it took a while to get the fourth! Felt a tad rushed as they brought our appetizers out right away and we had just started on the cocktails we waited on. The octopus was mediocre, tough and fishy. Carpaccio was just okay, not much flavor. The deconstructed Caesar salad was a wow, really good, not traditional. Pork chop was cooked just right, tender and juicy. Whole Mediterranean sea bass was also moist but not much flavor. The Eggplant dish was simply too simple. A slab of roasted eggplant with no flavor and a cup of stewed tomatoes - also no flavor ( I wanted to ask for some salt). The Pana Cotta dessert was delicious, profiterole's were a delivery system for some tasty chocolate sauce but the rolls were tasteless and stale. Service was not attentive, waited too long for a bottle of wine, had to ask anyone who came to the table to actually perform any table maintenance; empty glasses, water bottles etc, stayed on the table until we asked them to be taken. I watched as the hostess and a server stood in the middle of the restaurant chatting and laughing and then the server pulled out a lip balm from her pocket and proceeded to apply it to her lips. Shouldn't be too surprised, I saw other employees drinking beverages etc on the floor. I understand what they are going for but their service standards and food product do not live up to the hype or the excellent design/decor. read more
