Amazing, absolutely amazing. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is very cozy with the large windows and dim lighting.... Nacho, our server, gave great recommendations on wine and entrees and it seemed like he knew what our taste palate was. We camefor our 2 year anniversary and if you’re looking for a perfect Italian meal to share an anniversary meal with your loved one,this is the place. They made our celebration very special. La Stella will definitely exceed your expectations, as it did mine. Read more

This establishment is new and upcoming. I can see it being one of the more successful italian restaurants in the DFW area. By... far the most authentic, amazing italian restaurant ive had. This is New York level. Just so incredible, everything was deliciousand impeccable. The service was just so great. These servers know how to be professional and were so helpful. They were kindand attentive, as well as flexible. They cut up our entrees to make them more shareable dishes and got me a stool to set mypurse on. Great people! The wine, appetizers, entrees, dessert. Perfect. To share what we got: Appetizers: - Carpaccio (bestive ever had and rare to find in Dallas area) - Burrata was great - Cheese and meat board was beautiful Entrees: - Veal waswonderfully cooked. It was perfect with the breading and very large portion. - Porterhouse steak was so freaking good. Yes,wildly expensive but we shared all our entrees, so we got 4 entrees for 6 people. We were pretty full with wine andappetizers. - Branzino had no flavor. Not recommended - Bucatini was pretty good - Maybe opt for another pasta dish because Ididn't find this one that memorable Dessert: - Tiramisu - Housemade and easily top 3 tiramisu I've had in dallas (I have triedabout every one) - Fruit tarte - The second recommended, so we got it. Definelty worth it to come dine here! Read more
We are so thrilled to see La Stella open! Our Easter lunch was phenomenal and we cannot wait to come back to try the dinner... menu. The staff is a delight and it’s always wonderful to see a chef, bartender, and manager/owner so passionate about theexperience of the patrons and the cuisine that is served. We sat with Alex at the bar today and enjoyed exceptional service. Weenjoyed cocktails and also wine recommended by the sommelier, Derek. Our meal was the Easter set menu and we enjoyed a spread ofappetizers, a main course of halibut and lamb, and a huge spread of desserts. Chef Luigi obviously puts pride and expertisebehind the menu and ingredients. It’s evident in the presentation and flavors of the dishes. Ricardo made the experienceexceptional and warm, like dining with old friends. We can’t wait to come back to La Stella! Read more
What a delightful experience. The food is absolutely spectacular, but the wonderful personality of the place shines through as... well. The service was excellent: helpful, friendly, and attentive, never pushy, aloof, or rushed. We were delighted to have ChefLuigi visit our table to present one of the specials of the evening (a superb black truffle risotto). I was also impressed withthe polite and accommodating hosts at the door who were quick to help us despite a mistake in our reservation (which was 100% myfault). Highly recommended. Read more
I had been waiting patiently to go to La Stella Cucina Verace and I finally got to go. When you already have plans to go again... before you even get there for the first time, you know it’s going to be good. Fortunately for me, this was beyondexceptional. Their chef has come up with an exquisite Italian menu just for you! For cocktails I ordered the Via Flora which isnow in my list of top cocktails I have ever had. This drink was absolutely delightful. The gin, lemon, and lavender hints allcame together. I need it again. It’s so good! The burrata was incredible. It was perfectly creamy and loved it with thesauce. I spread it on the garlic crostinis and again, I was in heaven. The carpaccio was magnificent. Lemony hints as I tookeach bit of the tenderloin carpaccio and adorned with the black truffles and mushrooms. Again, amazing. The Risotto Oro wasjust absolute perfection. Everything about this dish made me have moments where I just closed my eyes and savored each moment. From the Spanish saffron to the 36month aged Parmigiano. To the roasted bone marrow flavored infused and dusted off with someedible gold. This dish is not to be missed especially when paired with the red wine Nebbiolo. Eder was my server and he wasmagnificent. He was very knowledgeable with the items and gave me such great recommendations, most of which I listened! Hebrought out the check in a passport which was so creative! Due to a last minute change, I ended up going by myself but theattention from the staff was wonderful that I immediately felt at home and welcomed with open arms. If you are looking fortrue, authentic Italian food, a great atmosphere, great service, you HAVE to go to La Stella. I cannot wait to go back! Read more
