Family style dinner = taking your chances. Not sure we will go back after having two poor experiences.

We did not end up eating here, because there is no place to park a pontoon that we could see. I gave a 3 star because I don't want to drag down the overall rating because their food might be great, but I wanted to warn others thinking about coming by boat, that you can park a speed boat here, but not a pontoon. Maybe next time, we will drive there and try their tiple berry pancakes!

The place was packed for live music, so we had to sit in the glaring sun. But good for them to be packed! Server was friendly, but service was really slow. Two cold sandwiches took well over 30 minutes to arrive. Then a 10 min wait to get our bill, then another 10 minutes to get our credit card back. (This was well after the live music had ended, and a lot of people had left.) So, good food if you don't mind waiting for it and waiting after it.

After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Stellina, in Downtown Roanoke, is a perfect example. Stellina (which means "Little Star" in Italian) is a secretly hidden little bar within the very popular Italian Restaurant Fortunato, but with its own entrance through a door on the right of the restaurant. Its only indication of its name is a small letter board behind one of its front windows, stating its name and hours of operation. This bar was constructed with reclaimed wood from the Old Crow distillery and opened in December of 2016. Since then its gain a reputation as the ideal spot for hand-crafted cocktails in a cozy and intimate atmosphere. It seats only about 20 people, with 7 at the bar. Not that long ago it gained recognition by being featured in the New York Post as one of the world's best small bars. All that I can tell you about this place doesn't do justice to the experience of visiting the place for the very first time. After stepping inside, I was mesmerized by the simple yet effective, elegance of the establishment, complimented by the beautifully dressed young lady, server/bartender. Her elegant style and mysterious personality contributed to the character and ambiance of this one-of-a-kind relaxing place. The very hospitable young lady welcomed me and handed me the drink menu, while asking me if I also planned to dine there. I answered in the affirmative and asked her if they had any Mocktails. To my surprise, she pointed out that one side of the Drinks Menu were all non-alcoholic drinks, including mocktails, bottled mocktails, wine by the glass, and beers. I ordered one of the mocktails and by the end of my meal, I think I must have tried a few. She then brought me Fortunato's menu, and I ordered the Fritto Misto as appetizer and the Pork Milanese as my main entrée. I enjoyed both course immensely. A lady employee brought me the food from Fortunato's Restaurant through a door that led to the restroom area of Fortunato's Restaurant, pass the kitchen. For dessert, that Which I consider the "Grand Finale" of a wonderful fine dining experience, I ordered their Tiramisu and Hot Chocolate. They were absolutely mouthwatering. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return in the near future.

Scored at the bar which worked fine for me. Service was lukewarm, but still ok. Service started out slow and improved. However, no check-ins were performed at all. I was given a cocktail and food menu. I knew I wanted an Old Fashioned and dropped an order for their lamb meatballs. Shortly after I decided on the eggplant Parmesan main. My drink with Rittenhouse Rye bourbon was tasty, just not much of it price at $17 steep too! I also ordered a specialty hot rum drink with pumpkin spice at $10 that was amazing! The meatballs hit quickly and were devoured! So yummy! About 15 minutes later the main dropped and was huge! Really quality and flavorful for a vegetarian dish. Overall the food was better than the service and prices were stretched. 3.5 rounding down due to service.

The Marketplace is a one-stop-shop offering a little bit of everything and is conveniently located in the basement of Building 1 at The Pointe. From ice, beer, wine, and cocktail mixers (e.g. Bloody Mary mix, tonic water, club soda, ginger beer, etc.) to grab-and-go prepared foods in the hot case, sub sandwiches, salads, pasta/pasta sauce, bbq'ing condiments, and coffee/tea, they can certainly satisfy your everyday basic kitchen needs. They also have a nice selection of lake souvenirs, beach cover ups, sunscreen, miscellaneous toiletries, and more. Truly a great new addition to Mariners Landing!
