When you’re ready for a break from dorm food, this place is an incredible option for a high-quality meal, within walking distance. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself after a long week of classes.
Recommended the experience with a group of friends.

We had a fantastic lat lunch at this Italian restaurant and were especially impressed with our server, Esmir—he was awesome and really on top of everything throughout the night. The service made the experience that much better.
The food was excellent across the board. The chicken parm was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the pasta with calamari was absolutely delicious. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, and they even went out of their way to make my son a pasta vodka, which he loved.
Portions were generous, and although we didn’t have room for dessert, everything we tried was spot on. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and amount of food we received. We’ll definitely be back!

A wonderful dining experience. We were immediately welcomed and decided to go to the bar for happy hour where Nikki took care of us. He was attentive and has a great personality and gave us recommendations for food.
The lemon drop cocktail was light and refreshing, perfect for July and all of the food we ordered was delicious.
Highly recommend the Stella chicken. A balance of seafood flavor and with perfectly tender shrimp in a light sauce. Also try the eggplant rollatini was full of ricotta and mozzarella cheese and you could taste how fresh the marinara sauce is!

Stopped by here for lunch on a Friday. The place was empty but the lone waiter immediately sprung into action and have us seated. The architecture inside is quite unique. The waiter told us this used to be an opera house when it first opened 50 years ago. Given that we are the only table in the restaurant, I wasn’t sure if the food is good. They brought out a basket of warm toasted breads. I ordered the Pasta e Fagioli (Italian bean soup) and it was delicious. The soup was full of fresh ingredients, with fresh vegetables, beans, small slices of pancetta. For main course, I had the Cavatelli, served with sausage, broccoli rabe, cherry peppers. The broth was thin and not oily. It has just the right amount of saltiness and acidity. The pasta was perfectly cooked to al dente. My mom ordered the Mediterranean salad with arugula and goat cheese. She also enjoyed her dish. I will definitely come back and try their dinner menu.

You feel the classic Italian restaurant environment as you walk in. The menu has plenty of variety. The food was excellent. I ate the Scallop & Shrimp fra Diavolo, my wife had the Cavatelli and she loved it. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

I had made a reservation for 5 a week prior to the dinner I had last night, and as soon as we arrived there were no signs of a reserved table for us. Instead we were SQUEEZED into a table for 4 that had no elbow room at the booth and it was incredibly hard to get up or sit down without knocking both your table and another table. I was given an apology by the host but it was frustrating to see other customers being accommodated and we were not when I had a reservation. While the food was jaw droppingly good – the best Italian I had in Middletown – I was not given a dessert that was ordered and I asked for my food to be boxed up and to my surprise, when I got home, my food was not in the bag placed at the table. The service was lacking at this place for a Saturday night. As a paying customer, to not have 60% of my meal wrapped up to enjoy at home is frustrating, and having things my family ordered forgotten is not a great feeling when you are paying for the service. While the staff was pleasant, they lacked in providing a special evening for a special occasion. I recommend for a casual dinner, not for a special occasion unless you want things to not go as planned. Quite disappointing.

In November 2025 my husband and I had a delicious 5 star meal at Stella D’Oro. We just returned from an incredible trip to Italy and found quality Italian food just minutes from our home! What made the evening exceptional was the quiet, romantic setting and also our amazing waiter. Esmir was friendly and very accommadating. We highly recommend Stella D’oro in Middletown CT!
