Reviews
The atmosphere was cozy and beautiful.
The food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the Shrimp Stella Notte and was floored by the flavors. My favorite part, though, was the bread and olive oil dip. Most places forget to add the Parmesan, herbs, and spices, but not Stella Notte. They nailed it!
Don’t skip this place, run to it and enjoy the food and the experience.
Appetizer:
We started with the calamari, which was served hot and fresh. The texture was spot-on, with a lovely crispy coating, but I felt that it could have used a bit more spice to elevate the flavors. It was good, but just shy of being exceptional due to the lack of seasoning.
Drinks:
I opted for the Almond Joy Martini from their specials menu. While I could taste the coconut, I wished for a bolder flavor profile with more chocolate liqueur or almond liqueur. It was a fun, dessert-like drink but could be improved with better balance between its ingredients.
Pizza:
One of the standout dishes of the night was the Stella Notte Pizza. The crust was perfectly cooked—not soggy, but with crisp edges, exactly how a pizza crust should be. The ratio of cheese to sauce was perfect, and the sauce itself was rich and flavorful. My only critique would be that it could have used a bit more chicken, but overall, this was a great dish that I’d order again.
Pasta Dishes:
We shared two pasta dishes:
1. Chicken and Shrimp Stella Notte Pasta – This dish featured cheese tortellini in a creamy tomato pesto sauce. While the texture of the pasta was great, I found the flavor to be one-dimensional. It was creamy, but I didn’t feel compelled to take another bite right away.
2. Shrimp and Scallop Primavera – This was a special for the night. The dish was light and refreshing but lacked the necessary seasoning to make it truly shine. It was a bit bland, and I had to add salt and pepper to suit my taste. However, it was well-prepared with fresh ingredients.
Portion Size:
Portion sizes were generous, and by the end of the meal, we were all quite full. No complaints there!
Overall Experience:
The service was excellent, the ambiance was cozy, and most dishes were enjoyable. While there were a few areas where the food could have been slightly improved, the overall experience was good, and I’d give it a solid 4/5 rating. I would return, especially for that Stella Notte pizza!
I had the chicken parm and it was one of the best i’ve ever had. If you get the pleasure of visiting this establishment, i would 110% recommend her to take care of you. 12/10 overall experience.
