We love the atmosphere and food is great. It is a bit more costly than it's sister restaurant Sparkies. Staff are super friendly.

Stella's Table had a lot of room for improvement. The service was painfully slow, and the food was quite bland. I ordered the bolognese, which had very little meat or sauce. I wouldn't personally return, but the other people with me said they would, which is why I'm giving them three stars. read more

Wow... where do I begin? What an interesting experience I had last night at Stella's Table. To begin we were seated in the middle section of the restaurant, close enough to hear the kitchen (which will come in handy later). We were pleasantly met by what I can only assume was the manager or owner, though I am unsure due to her failure to properly introduce herself. Then we were greeted by our server, Devin, who forewarned us that he is quite new and still learning. While I am understanding of the position, and kindly offered grace for the novice, it set a tone that the night would be rocky at best. My first complaint arises due to Devin's (perhaps unintentional) condescension toward my grandparents who I was dining with. While interacting with them, Devin spoke in a child like manner, often leaning his body down toward them as one does with young children, and treated them as if they were helpless. I assure you, they are far from helpless. This culminated in Devin loudly stating that either I or my sister needed to assist my grandmother with payment and leaving a tip on the electronic system, when in fact, my grandmother is more than capable of completing on her own. Next, I would like to address the ambience of Stella's which can be summed up in one word: loud! This is not the type of restaurant for a conversation over your meal, as hearing one another is a difficult task if at all doable. Especially dining with hearing devices, I would not consider this environment accommodating or accessible for the hearing impaired. This is when the proximity to the kitchen comes into the story as it added to the noise and I frequently overheard frustration and arguments from the visible galley. Lastly, I would like to write about the food. The only good thing that came out of this visit was the pizza. Regardless of the service or ambiance, the Bianco pizza was one of the best things I have eaten in the last few weeks. The pasta on the other hand was downright foul. Horrible ratio of pasta, to meat, to sauce. It lacked any redeeming qualities and frankly left me wishing I had ordered something else. If you like loud environments, condescending employees, lack luster pasta, and have the desire to pay inflated prices this is the place for you! If not, order the pizza to go and dine in the comfort of your own home and enjoy some quality carb-loaded cuisine. read more

Previously The Root, my husband took me here a few years ago. We were sad to see The Root leave but happy to try Stella's Table. My family and I sat on the patio. Nice day for outside seating! We started off with the Parmesan bread. They don't offer complimentary bread but the Parmesan loaf is sooo worth it! It was incredible. I ordered a salad with salmon. My husband and mom got the seafood pasta. My mother in law enjoyed the chicken and my father in the enjoyed a steak. I didn't think we had room for dessert, but we found some. My mom got the pistachio cheese cake. I got the gelato sampler. My in laws got the gelato sampler too. So good. Everything was incredible. So fresh and delicious. Our server was great! Little bit of a drive for us, but it was worth it! read more

I want to love Stella's, but it always seems to miss the mark. The atmosphere is fantastic, service is outstanding. Plenty of options on the menu, but I've been going there for years and the food isn't terrible, but it isn't as great as it used to be. read more

service with the best smile! kudos to our server, colleen! we sat at the large family table in the front. at first we were a bit hesitant but i recommend the seating! i want to go back and bring my whole family to sit there for dinner. the one downer is the kitchen brought noodles over risotto (we ordered the risotto), but they quickly amended it. the pistachio cheesecake was super yummy with the caramel on the side! this is a local gem in a pretty much slow town. great place to go around the holiday. there are tvs as well to catch your favorite sports team. read more

I went here for dinner last night ordered the Reggino with chicken they must cut one chicken breast into four pieces. They were probably a quarter inch thick they give you like 2 1/4 inch thick chicken breast but I'm telling you they must take one chicken breast and cut it into four pieces the sauce was like water consistency with a lemony taste the risotto was terrible more like mashed potatoes with lemon flavor I really do wish they would give you like a soup or salad with your meal as we spent $70 and left hungry. I mean at least give people some bread. My Son got steak Alfredo, which she said isn't on the menu but they can make any Alfredo it was spaghetti noodles. And maybe 2 ounces of steak he was so hungry after his tiny portion I would say 0 stars if it was an option. The the servers were very friendly and so was the front staff. I give the service 5 stars dont go here theres way better italian restaurants that give you salad soup and bread not just a tiny entree read more

Food was really good, our reservation was on last slot on a Sunday, thought they gonna serve okay kinda food, but they proved me wrong. Every dish we ordered were excellent, tasty and fresh. Manager and staff were very friendly. They gave us an option to choose protein for our dish, allowed us to modify. Loved everything about this restaurant. Will be visiting again read more

I have been dying to try this place since they opened. The stars Aligned on Sunday and Frieda and I went for a late lunch. The atmosphere was very nice, upscale casual. The staff were so friendly, open and attentive. Our server Jeff had great suggestions and was spot on with his advice. We split a Cesar salad and ordered the bread for the table. I agree with a previous review that bread should be complimentary. We than split a pasta dish Something Scotty. It had grilled chicken breast, farfalle pasta, spinach,artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Note: They were under the chicken. It came with an Asiago cheese sauce. It was delicious, but needed more color I.e. Red peppers or sundried tomatos. I mentioned it Jeff, he said it is supposed to be a "Green Dish". That was a new one on me. Overall, a wonderful, relaxing delicious adventure! read more

The place was busy when we arrived with both indoor and outdoor seating. We got our table immediately, and our waitress introduced herself. She did a good job of explaining the menial and special. The servers worked well as a team, clearing plates quickly and making sure that we had what we needed. The drinks were good. The arancini was good, though maybe a little too cheesy. The beet salad could've used more beets. The entrees were both good (squash ravioli and chicken pasta). The hazelnut and chocolate torte was really good. Surprisingly light and fluffy. read more

We went there a few weeks back with another couple. Both wives got sick a hour after we left the restaurant. They both had a pasta dish and a salad. ( I think it was the salad. ) The men had the steak sandwich. We both were fine. We left a message to have them call back after we explained what happened. They never got back with us . On the expensive side especially for a Michelob ultra $7 . But that's not for the one star . It was not getting back to us after you explaining two of us got sick. read more

We were determined to find a new place to eat last nights and picked a winner. Stella's Table was fabulous in every way. Our server, Nick, made an excellent first impression that continued throughout the meal. He took our food allergies seriously from the moment we mentioned it and even informed the manager, Reed, who came and spoke to us. Our drinks were fantastic and the food even better. Great ambience, great food and friendly service. We will definitely be back. read more

I've gotten Stella's a number of times now and they don't disappoint. The first time I tried their food was on my birthday during lockdown. I had the seafood pasta and even as a takeout dish, it was phenomenal. After getting to try out more of their menu since then, I've continued to be impressed. Despite all the culturally diverse food around, I feel like good Italian food is really lacking in the area. Stella's had filled that void for me. It's a great spot for date night. They have great cocktails and apps, service is warm and attentive, and I personally enjoy the atmosphere. It's a bit of a hike but it's always been worth the drive. read more

The place was very cute, kinda on the edge of fancy but still as casual as you want. Food and service well above par

A very good up-scale place. I had the pork chop special which had an exceptional sauce that complemented the meal. The server was very informative, prompt and listened to my review of my meal to pass on to the cook. My side was a coconut risotto. I enjoyed it but I thought the two ingredients were fighting each other on the textures. The risotto was cooked perfectly but the chewiness of the coconut took away from the experience. It is nearby so we go there for special occasions. read more

What a great dinner we had! Stellas was a little hard to find ... but it was dark and a new place for us. Once we got there, easy parking, no wait, lots of other diners. It felt festive here, clean, busy, happy. A birthday party was going full swing, a good time place. We were in a quiet corner, and it was a wine carafe 50% off special (certain house wines on Wednesdays). How convenient and perfect for our group of three. We started with wine and bruschetta - ahh, great happy hour. Then we each picked a different meal. Lots of choices:, we picked Sliders, Chicken Marsala, Steak sandwich. Our server was nice, welcoming and fast. We didn't realize we were hungry- glad to have more food appear quickly. We really enjoyed our experience and signed up for the the Stella's dining club and got $5 off this meal. Fun, great food, variety and great service-- of course we will be back! read more

I enjoyed my meal at Stella's. We had not dined here since it was the Root and saw a new restaurant replaced it. I had heard some good things so we stopped by over the weekend. We started with the baguette stuffed with spinach and cheese with oil and balsamic. It was very tasty. I liked the pull apart bite sized pieces, but since there were only two of us, I helped myself to a larger slice, but the small portions are good for a family or larger party. I had the strawberry basil French 75. It was very basil forward, not as sweet as I would have thought, but pretty good. I also tried the season Sangria, which was cranberry, that was excellent. Not too citrusy or dry. I had the parm burger and parm fries with ranch. The ranch could have been thicker, it was a bit watery, but still good. I subbed the ciabatta roll for a brioche bun. The portions were a nice size. The turkey burger was also good and well cooked. We had the gelato sampler. That honestly for the price was way too small or portions, they could have had bigger scoops but it tasted nice with the biscotti. We also tried the tiramisu which was good. Then I had their dark chocolate mocha with a biscotti, that was really nice. Not too sweet but very chocolatey with some good cream on top. Now that we have been here I would gladly come back, especially with the kids, they also have not been to this spot in ages. I think they would order the Italian sodas and enjoy the food as well. read more

I really enjoyed this place and loved all the dishes we received. The only thing that I would really want is a bread basket. Italian restaurant always give some sort of free bread. Not here. So I paid the $6 for my table hoping it was going to be bigger. read more

Always a great time! Food is always amazing and the service is spot on! And it's always so clean and welcoming. Love going here to eat!!

We had a wonderful family meal. The food and service were top quality- far better than expected. We look forward to returning!

Upon entering its very clean with professional staff with great positive attitudes to work with the general public. To be in a service industry you must love the public and it showed in everyone we encountered. The menu was designed by executive chef Michael Olday. It's interesting and has his unique twist in it. I can tell he is using all high quality ingredients and care in purchasing ingredients. The spaghetti and meatballs are very good. The meatballs are homemade. Maybe a little more sauce and spice in the sauce. The baguette was garlic and Parmesan with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. It's $4 extra and that seems odd for a $16 spaghetti not to come with bread but it was absolutely incredible and one of the best breads I have ever had in quality and flavor. The Arancini superb and beautifully plated and served. With Parmesan risotto breaded and fried with a Pomodoro sauce it not only looked beautiful it tasted beautiful. This is a excellent restaurant and we will definitely come back and try different menu items. read more

Been meaning to try this place for awhile, and I'm glad I finally was able to. The inside is cute and there's a small outdoor patio offering a stunning view of the parking lot. The service was exquisite, which is painfully rare. The food was amazing. We got the garlic and herb baguette, goat cheese fritters, mushroom ravioli, and the vineyard salad w salmon. The baguette was delicious, but a bit ridiculous and small. Truthfully, I find any place that charges for regular bread to be a bit ridiculous. 99% of restaurants offer a complimentary bread basket, and while their bread was good, it was not any different than the delicious and free varieties of other places. The goat cheese fritters were scrumptious, but again priced ridiculously. $14 for two small fritters, a handful of crackers, and a tablespoon of jam. The mushroom ravioli was delicious; the sauce was a highlight. The salmon on my salad was amazingly crispy. I ended up requesting a different dressing, the white vinaigrette, because the cider dressing was not to my taste. After switching that out, it was great. To finish off, we got the chef's dessert special: lemon blueberry cake. The cake itself was divine, but the frosting on top was too thick and the dusting of coffee or chocolate (or maybe it was both, I couldn't tell) on top didn't gel w the rest of the dessert. Overall, great food and service w some room for improvement. And maybe a bit of a reality check on the prices. read more

Great service but the food was just mediocre. I was really looking forward to the chicken parmigiana but the chicken was not tender and the sauce was like something you might expect from a local diner. The pasta was over cooked. We had the rice balls appetizer...nothing to write home about. This restaurant has great potential but they need to improve the quality of their food. I grew up on Italian cooking my mom's parents came over from Italy. That may not make me any kind of authority on Italian food but I'm sorry I would not go back to this restaurant. On a positive note my son enjoyed the pizza I love to support the local businesses, sadly I can not do that here. I hate to write a bad review about anybody but these folks can do better for sure. Buona giornata! read more

I was not a fan of the previous restaurant in this location which for some irrational reason made me hesitant to try Stella's. Now I could kick myself for not going sooner! Where do I even start with what I love? The service. It was incredible. Everyone was so nice, helpful and awesome. The drinks. All you really need to know is adult Italian sodas are life. I personally recommend them with gin! We had a few different appetizers which were fantastic. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. For entrees, our party had tortellini, chicken Parmesan, chicken piccata and the whitefish. All were hefty portions and delicious! I can't wait to try just about everything else on the menu! I will be back...soon! read more

10 stars for the food ! 1st time I ever had breakfast risotto- tasted excellent. Also shared very thin cut lemon pancakes- served with blueberry sauce. Great taste! 4 slices of good tasting toast. Ample portions. Lost 2 stars due to the check in girls. Had 11:30 reservation. Arrived on time,plenty of empty tables- no one else waiting. Understand when they said staff was playing catch-up- but instead of seating us- told to stand and wait for 10 minutes-odd . I asked if we could be seated- blank stare and said ok. Server we had was great -hustling. Asked a different girl for jelly- looked at me like I was an alien- didn't think they had any ?....$5 sign up promo wasn't honored. When leaving still had3 girls at check in- 1 reading a book other 2 fast at work on cell phones. Waste of $$$$$ for them! read more

Went to Stella's Table for dinner with my husband last night. Overall we were happy with our choices. My husband got the Sunday Pasta and I ordered the Vineyard Salad. When I ordered my salad, I told our server that I didn't want any tomatoes because I hate tomatoes. She asked if we would like an appetizer and we said the bruschetta with oil, but I think she only heard bruschetta, which is bread with a mountain of tomatoes. When that came out another girl quickly served it to us. Normally, I would've talked to the waitress and cleared up the misunderstanding but she wasn't back at our table until after our entrees were served, so my husband ended up eating the appetizer while I watched. I think they need to work with staff on being more attentive. The people next to us had the same server and said similar comments about how she wasn't at the table much. The entrees came out wonderfully and my husband loved his pasta. The inside was very cute and clean. We may come back in a few months to try it again, since we only hear great things from friends in the area. read more

This is a very, very nice place. The food's been good and we really enjoyed it. I just feel that everything is a little bit overpriced.

I really used to like this place. We went tonight at 7. Pretty crowded, maybe not enough staff? Waitress messed up my wife's drink order and then brought out the wrong salad for her entree. I always get the Sunday pasta for the meatballs and sausage combo One tiny bite of sausage. The waitress was too busy to complain about my order. Some other issues with our appetizer Really sad! read more
