My wife and I spent Valentine’s Day at Osteria Stella, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.
The atmosphere was intimate and perfect for a date night. She ordered the Lasagne alla Bolognese, and I had the Bistecca di Manzo with a side of Funghi Grigliati — every dish was exceptional and clearly made with care.
Our waitress, Jade, was wonderful and recommended fantastic drinks that complemented the meal perfectly. For the quality of the food, service, and ambiance, it’s absolutely worth the price. We’ll definitely be back.

I was too generous with my first review (deleted). I think I was blinded by the exciting promise of what seemed like an elevated, authentic, and delicious experience and the one semi tasty thing on the menu… the mussels, which are no longer on the menu because they have changed the menu every time I go( ). The service is okay and the food is bland which is upsetting for the price tag. Their house salad could’ve just been a lemon on a plate and I wouldn’t have noticed a difference. The presentation is nice. There’s so much potential here but potential isn’t enough. I think three opportunities is enough to know I’m not going back to be disappointed again. If you decide to try it out, make sure you don’t eat at all before you go. It’s best to arrive hungry so you will actually want to eat what’s being served and get your money’s worth.

We celebrated our 10th anniversary at Osteria Stella in Knoxville, TN, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make the evening special, even surprising us with a beautifully signed card from the team and a glass of prosecco to toast the occasion.
The food was absolutely outstanding! Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and plated with perfection. You could tell the chefs put their heart into every bite. We had two appetizers becsuse we couldnt choose, and wish we could have tried them all! The service was impeccable as well; attentive without being intrusive, making us feel cared for the entire evening.
Osteria Stella is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The combination of delicious food, thoughtful staff, and incredible ambiance created the perfect setting for our milestone celebration. We left with full hearts (and bellies!) and will treasure the memory forever.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Knoxville!

Absolutely exceptional!!! Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The whole fish was a standout — rich, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. We also loved the lasagna which was an explosion of textures and flavors. Even the cocktails were crafted with care and creativity — the blackberry Bellini was a personal favorite!
What truly set the night apart, though, was the impeccable service. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely excited to make the evening special. To top it all off, they surprised me with a birthday card with a heartfelt “Happy Birthday” from the staff — such a thoughtful gesture!
If you’re looking for a place to celebrate something special — or just to treat yourself to an extraordinary meal — I couldn’t recommend Osteria Stella more. They didn’t just serve dinner — they helped create a beautiful memory.

Appetizers were good but I’ve now tried this place 3 times and have been underwhelmed every time. The best thing I had was the focaccia appetizer & salad. Brother wolf cocktails are great but the pasta from Osteria sucked. I had the lasagna & thiswas my second shot at it. It had 0 flavor & tasted like wet noodles. My husband got the broccoli pesto pasta with sausage & said it also tasted like water pasta. Disappointed because people act like this is the best Italian, it’s not. Go to Emilia or Amalfi if you want a good Italian meal in Knoxville. Our server was sweet. It was my friends birthday and they gave us a free pasta from the chef but again no flavor.

Was there Friday the 13th for my 50th! IT was great again. Loved the birthday card, had Jaid again (so awesome as always), accidentally hugged the hostess as she adjusted our curtains (lol) and a very kind lady (who was also celebrating her birthday, sent a gelato to the table-which was the best-chocolate heaven). AS ALWAYS, Osteria thank you thank you!! (I wish I could leave a hundred stars.)
I have a list of places to try in Knoxville, and Osteria Stella was at the top of that list. It was wonderful! My mother and I went yesterday-Sunday, July 27th. We got parked right across the street and entered what was one of the most beautiful, cozy and romantic places to eat, I have seen. Dark luxurious finishes throughout with an added unique floral touch. Masculine meets feminine all working in harmony together. Mismatched (but coordinating) plates and sliver ware made you feel like you were at some long time Italian eatery. It is romantic but I could also see myself eating there alone and enjoying it. We had service from a wonderful young lady named Jaid. She helped us make some decisions and her recommendations were perfect for us. The entire meal, start to finish, was spaced perfectly and the food was wonderful! The Osso buco dish we had was just fall apart tender and flavorful and our cocktails were perfect. The food is done with the utmost care, you can tell. The quality of flavor means they have a chef (or two) in the kitchen who are paying attention to the quality. The size of the portions was also quite generous. We had a starter, a salad, two mains, and three desserts (while the tiramisu was wonderful, the cannoli were incredible) and cocktails. All of it was priced well. We have paid far more for less (in flavor and service) at other places. Osteria Stella will always be a place I will think about and hope to return to someday. Thank you!

Our server, Jade was so kind and knowledgeable about the menu. She definitely made my husband’s birthday special! They even left him a little birthday card.
The food was magnificent. We spent our honeymoon in Italy and were so grateful to relive some of those authentic flavors, and also experience some new ones. The Bisteca was our favorite entree, and the side of mushrooms was incredible! We are so grateful to Osteria Stella for making this night a memorable one!

This is the cutest little Italian spot!! I got to celebrate my birthday here this evening and I couldn’t have asked for better hospitality. Food is amazing and the afogato was to die for. Our server was so kind. Can’t wait to visit again.

Staff was on point! Meals were sent out in a timely manner. It’s nice to have a taste of Italy so close to home. Having just returned from there I can say with confidence that the food is authentically Italian.
