We visited Stella’s on Friday night, two days after New Years, walking in around 6:30pm & sat at the bar without a wait.
We ordered a beautiful glass of red wine, a martini, & a beer, enjoying the vintage style 1920’s atmosphere & beautiful energy surrounding us. We chose the mushroom risotto fungi e tartufo (I was accidentally brought the risotto cacio e pepe instead of the fungi but still greatly enjoyed the alternative) & ragu d’angello to share & both were magnificent. Our bartender was so sweet & attentive, providing elegant service & quickly acknowledging the mistake with one of our dishes (risotto) & remedied our “problem” without stress, even though we still enjoyed the dish & were 100% satisfied (props for the speedy awareness & remedy). The general manager Alessandro took the time to connect with us as we were leaving & listened to our experience, highlighting his goals to continually improve, grow, & develop such a unique hidden gem in Boulder, CO as he is a newer member of the Stella team coming from LA, his dedication & dreams are inspiring & exactly what Boulder needs.
We will be back again because of the wonderful staff & stressless accommodations, we left feeling happy, well fed, & heard in a respectful manner. While this place has made major improvements since we have last visited during the opening months in early 2023, it was so meaningful to be able to openly share our thoughts & suggestions as guests who really observe & review places like this honestly. The placement of cutlery, the ring holders on the napkins, the lighting, the ambience which immediately scratches the itch of a well experienced foodie who searches for consistency. Because of Stella’s dedication for higher standards from the moment you walk in the door to your last steps as you’re leaving are unmatched but still leaves room in the middle for improvement. Add this wonderful restaurant to your itinerary on Pearl St. Round of applause!! Thank you, Stella’s!

This is by far the best designed restaurant in Boulder. with an aesthetic of cyberpunk future NYC amazing! We loved it.
Service was good and friendly however food came out pretty slow. Unfortunately the food was 3 star at best. Nothing bad, just for the price and the portions, it truly was nothing to write home about. We had the fish, and the short rib as well as several antipastas. All was good, but again- all lacked any real flavor. I wanted to tell them- guys— crank it up. You have the backbone of some great dishes, but man, time to spice it up.
In my opinion, this place is fantastic to go grab a drink and get a couple apps. Sit at the bar ,’an enjoy. Skip dinner though. Just not worth the money.

A Michelin-Worthy Date Night Experience!
Stella’s Cucina in Boulder is, without a doubt, my new favorite restaurant and the perfect choice for a date night. The atmosphere is magnificent—elegant, sophisticated, and instantly makes you feel special.
The chic, relaxed ambiance, enhanced by a down-tempo live DJ set, set the stage for a luxurious evening. The food was absolutely delicious and expertly prepared. A standout moment was the chef personally stopping by our table to ensure perfection—a truly special touch of hospitality.
The service was equally incredible; the manager went above and beyond, taking the time to genuinely get to know us and sending delightful treats. This personalized attention made us feel like cherished guests. Operating at an elite level, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stella’s Cucina earns its first Michelin star very soon. We’ll definitely be back—reserve your table immediately!

We have been a few times, and would have given it 5 stars without the short ribs. Everything else we had was delicious, and the drinks were good. Really like the pastas, as well as the fried egg appetizer. However, for the price, the short rib was a miss. It was a dry, bland puck.
For being around a similar price if you have multiple courses, I do think it is a step below Frasca a few blocks away.

This was a great experience. We wandered in after a meal just to have a cocktail. We tried one dish and ended up trying a second because it was delicious! The service at the door and the bar was excellent.

We recently dined at Stella’s and truly had a wonderful experience overall. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous — warm, inviting, and such a great atmosphere for a special night out. The vibe is elevated but still comfortable, and the energy in the room felt lively without being overwhelming.
The drinks were fantastic (highly recommend the cocktails), and the food was outstanding. Every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor — you can tell there’s real care and attention in the kitchen.
We did experience a small hiccup during our visit. That said, what stood out most was how the team handled it. The GM and owner were both incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and proactive in making things right. Their level of professionalism and genuine care speaks volumes about how much they value their guests.
It’s clear this restaurant takes pride not only in their food and ambiance, but in their hospitality as well. We’ll absolutely be back and would recommend Stella’s to anyone looking for a beautiful setting, great drinks, and truly excellent food.

Stella’s is a first class experience from start to finish! From the cool, understated entry, to the reveal, to the top notch service from all the staff. Just wow! NYC in Boulder!
The vibe is full of energy. The drinks are beautiful. The salads full of flavor. The ox-tail ravioli was superb. No doubt this will be a hard table to get soon enough. Alessandro, Eric, Jason and Stella truly made us feel like family. Can’t wait to bring friends!

Excellent experience from the atmosphere to the service to the food. Beautiful presentation. The risotto ai funghi plate looked like a whimsical forest floor carpeted with berries and mushrooms. Met Stella and learned about her special touches to the menu, including incorporating her own peach jam. If visiting Boulder and looking for a nice place to eat, visiting this restaurant is a must.

I love the whole experience of eating at Stella’s. It is authentic Italian, delicious and service is extremely good. I especially recommend you go in your birthday they gift you this amazing lavender panna cotta. The tiramisu was spectacular too!

I struggle to find anything to give as even the mildest criticism. Everything about it was amazing. The atmosphere and vibe were fantastic. I love the almost hidden, nondescript entrance. The food was absolutely delicious. The presentation was perfect. Everyone there was so friendly and inviting. This place has a Michelin recommended, but really deserves a Michelin star.
Anyone needing a valentines day recommendation, this is your spot. It is worth the price.
