   We have spent a lot of time all over Italy and this restaurant is the closest in Dallas to authentic Italian food. My wife had the pasta with vodka sauce and shrimp, which she said was fantastic. I had the Odo Buco, which was the best I’ve had in the US. The wait staff was superior and the service was excellent. They were helpful with every step of ordering. For appetizers my wife had the beet and Buffalo mozzarella salad and I have the fried zucchini. The specialty cocktails were inventive, different, and well worth the price. Be prepared to spend some money at the restaurant, but I believe you will still get all your moneys worth here.

   Service and food were great. It’s obvious they make their margins on wine because the price for a glass of wine was cahrazzy. $30 for a glass of Amarone? I certainly savored every drop.

   We had a wonderful meal at Stella Cucina last night. The service was excellent, our waitress Erin was exceptional. Very knowledgeable about the menu , had nice suggestions and was so nice . The food was nicely spaced out and we didn’t feel rushed . We shared the PB&J to start which was fresh sliced prosciutto, burata and fig jam . The app was good sized and so delicious. It was definitely better with the house bread than the bread sticks, but that’s just my opinion. I had the spaghetti with shrimp and my husband had the vongole special . Both were delicious. Fresh homemade pasta cooked perfectly, again a good size portion. We shared the tiramisu for dessert which was very light and not too sweet, could have used a few more lady fingers but overall very tasty. The cocktails and wines were lovely as well. The menu is a bit pricey, but I guess every restaurant seems to be pricey these days. Good for a special occasion, which this was my birthday .

   This was our first visit to La Stella and it did not disappoint! The service was outstanding and the food was fabulous. Besides the wonderful wine recommendations, the live music was perfect and fun. The family will definitely be coming back.

   We were seated at a very small table, and my chair kept getting bumped into. Scallop is not very fresh and the cocktail is over priced.

   Took my family for my wife’s birthday. Our concierge at the Omni recommended it and we can see why. Charming atmosphere and delicious food. Terrific and friendly service from our server Christian. Will definitely be back again.

   We would have given this place 5 stars, but the hostess when she seated us, gave us pause. We booked an early dinner because it was the only thing available, but when she sat us for our business dinner, she told us we had a time limit of two hours for us to finish, because of the next reservation they had. That type of greeting is just not acceptable when you are paying high dollar for dinner and wine. Fortunately our waiter was very good and didn’t rush us at all. The food was excellent though and it certainly is a beautiful restaurant.

    The food was amazing! The service was great! We are not eating seafood and they were super nice to take out the lobster from the pasta with vodka sauce and make it vegetarian- it was delicious! Highly recommended!!
