Stella Artisan is pure Italian soul. We have one mission in mind – serving authentic, hand-crafted, the most delicious Italian dishes you could ever taste! With the core belief of keeping good food and great taste a priority, Artisan chefs employ craft cooking acquired from food preparation practices running through generations.

While the methods remain deep-rooted in the traditions of Italy, our executive chef makes ample use of modern techniques to craft innovative blends of dishes and customize some on special requests. In essence, what comes out of the Artisan kitchen is the result of the finest craftsmanship, leaving you content, yet hungry for more of our world-class, authentic Italian meal.

We use only healthy food preparation methods that include choosing the freshest ingredients and an abundant supply of original spices and herbs sourced from innermost regions of Italy. This results in choices full of rich flavors and unforgettable taste, to satisfy every taste palate.

    Cute place but both our appetizer and main courses were entirely too salty.

    Went for Valentine’s Day and was pleasantly surprised that there was a special menu but also regular menu was also available. We chose the special menu which was very reasonably priced at $90 for two with options for each course. Started with burrata caprese. Nice size portion and cheese very good but tomatoes were not that flavorful. (Other option was fried zucchini) Next was Caesar salad- tasty and not overdressed (other option was garden salad) Next was main dish. I had Branzino with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Delicious and enough for 2 meals. Husband had scallops with risotto which he enjoyed. There were 4 choices for entrees. Dessert was a medley of sweets. The churro was the best of the group. Coffee was included. Atmosphere was nice. Servers very pleasant. We had an 8 pm reservation and were seated immediately and were not rushed. Nice amount of time between courses Overall an excellent meal.

    The food was good. The service was not. We had to wait 15+ minutes for a waitress to come to us and that was after asking for a wine opener. We then waited for bread after we asked for it and it came in the middle of our dinner. Overall the service was lackluster

    The food was very good as always. However the service was definitely lacking this time. They mentioned that they were overbooked. There were 2 very large parties. There wasn't enough staff to attend to the number of parties. Many diners sat for quite a while waiting for their plates to be cleared. I noticed that with one party of 4 two diners received their dinners while it took quite a while for the other 2 diners to get their orders. There was quite a gap in between courses and removing dirty plates. I will go back again because of the food but if service continues like this I would probably not return.

    Food was very good overall but: 1-an appetizer presented very differently than how it was described on the menu; 2-we made one slight change to an entree when ordered but it wasn’t prepared as requested, order had to be redone, and I was practically done with my entree by the time my husband’s came out. 3-service was slow but they were very busy so that can be overlooked.

    Terrific place for traditional Italian fare with reasonable prices. Everyone at our table loved their food. Our server was very attentive. The decor of the place is charming. Place was pretty empty for a Saturday night; not sure why. It’s not gonna set the culinary world on fire, but delicious Italian food that’s not exorbitantly priced is a rarity these days.

    food was amazing from the appetizers, salad, dinners and dessert. the restaurant was not crowded but the service was average at best. had to ask for water, refills, cheese for the pasta. not something I would expect for a restaurant at this price point. not sure if they were short staff or this is normal.

    Overall, had a great time. The service was great. The food was I think over seasoned in my opinion places kind of tiny, but the seats are spread apart enough where you don’t feel crammed. We had a calamari spicy rigatoni, eggplant, Parm, chicken, Parm, and a few other dishes, which were okay but nothing to write home about.

    First time here. This night was pretty young crowd. Maybe because it's relatively inexpensive. But where you win on cost you lose on service and food quality. If this evening was any indication, get ready for excruciatingly slow service. And then the food finally gets to you, it's only so-so. Ridgewood has a number of really good restaurants. This one is middling at best, based on out one visit. Unfortunately, we have no motivation to return.
