    It had been a long time since I had dined at Stella, but I had some work in the area so we went for a date night with some friends. It was great service, but a bit loud. The Chicken Scallopini was almost perfect with a nice kick of spice to it. The Lasagna was a bit crispy and made with the ricotta on the outside. Was a bit strange, but we asked for extra red sauce and they brought us some. This place has never blown my socks off, but it is consistently decent food and always high end service. The pricing is very fair and we really like the wine options. Perfect for a outing with friends or an intimate date night. The patio is a great spot when it isn’t so hot. Enjoy!

    The place itself was pretty nice. But the food and experience was NOT! I had 6:30pm reservations and walked into the door where I was looked at from top to bottom like i was lost or out of place. My waiter acted like he was bored or didn't like his job. Once food was ordered I didn't see him again. I had to flag down another waitress to ask to bring him back to my table for the check. I asked for water with lemon and he never brought the lemon. They didn't have spaghetti with meatballs, I was brought linguini with balls. How does an Italian restaurant not have spaghetti on their menu? The food looked good but had no flavor to it. Paid $18 for a meal I didn't want because linguini was very thick. Unless you've got money and want no flavor but a nice package, this place is for you. You want some good food go somewhere else. Do not recommend this place.

    YES YES YES! Phenomenal. I am coming again. Not the biggest Italian person but wow, this was great! Our server was awesome. He was attentive, knowledgeable, funny, and knew when to check in and give space. Drinks were a little slow to come out but really good! The meatballs could be more tender, they were dry and a little hard. Thankfully the amazing sauce and bread made up for it! The soup was okay. Would get something different next time. The chicken and veggies were AMAZING. I have never had a piece of chicken so juicy and flavorful as this one. The chicken pasta was also incredible! Especially with some red paper flakes? YUM! What was a memory for me, my brother in law told the staff we were getting married in two weeks and they came out with a very sweet and delicious treat. Thank you Stella Modern Italian Cuisine for you kindness and incredible service!

    Love the steak and mushroom pizza from here. Super thin crust that has a nice crunch and cooked in brick oven. It is $17 for a personal size, but worth it when made properly. On my last visit, the pizza was a little disappointing. Made by the same person, but tasted much different than previous visits

    Stella is a beautiful atmosphere, service was great, and food was delicious! Highly recommend the short rib spicy pasta with goat cheese. They do a complimentary birthday dessert, but none of the cheesy singing. The appetizers were also good - especially the cauliflower (and I normally hate cauliflower). Whatever that chef did to it was pure magic.

    First off, for a place that’s pretty expensive, I expect real chairs. They’re equivalent to the plastic, white lawn chairs you’d get at Walmart. Our waitress was really nice and helpful, so there’s that. Their wine selection is pretty nice. The two we got were very good. As for the food, the two appetizers we got were excellent! We got the meatballs, the bread was perfectly crisp and held up to scooping the sauce! The chicken pizza was very good, as well. My husband got the duck (not pictured) and he loved it. I tried my friend’s mushroom salad and her risotto and they were delicious. Two other people got the trout special for the day and I wish I had gotten that. My Italian sausage pasta was not good at all. I couldn’t even finish it. It was so bland, tasted boiled. I did get a birthday dessert. I chose the lemon cheesecake and I didn’t like it, the texture was off. My pasta and the lawn chairs is why they’ve lost a star.

    We had a pretty good experience. Parking was a breeze because there was a big parking lot behind the building. Our reservation was at 8:45pm and we were seated immediately. The ambience was calm, cozy, and kid friendly. We took our 15yr old and 8yr old. However, it would have also been great for a date night. There were fresh flowers and candles on the table as well as complimentary bread with garlic oil or butter. The server was very knowledgeable. We asked for recommendations since it was our 1st time visiting the resturant. We ordered the House Ground Meatballs but the server forgot to put in our order so I can't recommend an appetizer. The server was very apologetic. The Short Rib Ragout and Grilled Lamb T-bones had great flavor but the food was kind cold. The New Yok Strip Pizza and Chicken Scallopini came out hot and fresh and was very good. We were too stuffed for dessert but the dessert that came out for the tables around us looked tasty. We will definitely return to this restaurant.

    This was my first time here. Service was great. Food was delicious! I would have given 5 stars if there wasn't a hair in my food. (I didn't notify the manager but said my silent prayers and ate up!) After we left, my husband confessed and said he had a hair in his food too. We determined it was from the same person. On that note, I would definitely eat there again with hopes the back kitchen staff shaves their arms and hands and wears a hair net or beard net.

    The service was good, and the food was pretty great. My favor dish was the Blistered Shishito & Cauliflower, surprisingly enough is the only one I didn’t took a picture but it was delicious, trust me. If you are craving some Italian food, and you are in midtown you should totally try it, oh but I would recommend to make reservations ahead of time, they are always busy.

    It was great! The food was amazing and the service was very good. I celebrated my birthday there with a large group of friends and they really enjoyed it.The only complaint was the lack of sweet wines, such as Riesling or moscato.

    Since moving to OKC from Seattle, this is the only restaurant we’ve enjoyed after trying several (pizza, burgers, Thai…) and have been back three times over a matter of months. The flavors are simple and fresh. The wait staff is refreshing and honest with their recommendations. If you want quality over quantity, this place is for you.

  • 5/5 Tiffany N. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my first time here along with a couple of family members and our dinner experience was so amazing from the staff to the delicious food! We had the Pan Roasted Duck Breast, Chicken Scallopini, Roasted Chicken and for dessert, we had Limoncello Ricotta Cheesecake, and Maple Pecan Gelato with Biscotto cookies. Everything tasted so light and fresh, yet fulfilling. The only only disappointment was the amount of duck breast that came with the entrée, but It's definitely worth a try and I will definitely be back soon!

    The ambiance and the service was great. We got the brick oven baked Brie, beef tenderloin pizza and tiramisu. The pizza and the tiramisu was delightful. However the Brie was a bit of a let down. However, you could definitely visit this place for the pizza.

    This place is legit. Great food and great service. Pizza, pasta, salad all were excellent. They even prepared kids meal off menu. Definitely coming back.

    Food here was terrific! My friend and I got the cheeseboard and the charcuterie board to snack on while trying some wine. The music is just right to keep conversations private and the tables are well set. I don't quite like the decoration of the back room, but the food certainly made up for it. I had the Wild Boar Bolognese and my Friend got the Tomahawk Pork Chop. Both were delicious! For dessert was a Hot Toddy and the Lemoncello Cheesecake which were perfect to lull us into the night. Our server Ryan was polite and gave us space while still being attentive. I think I'll come back again to try some cocktails at the bar! Well done!

    We celebrated three of our girls' August birthdays at Stella's. Absolutely divine dishes! We were a party of 8 and the service was absolutely top notch. We were greeted kindly at the door and taken care of promptly with all of our requests throughout our dinner. Everyone LOVED their choices and everyone had something different. We will absolutely be back! Highly recommend!

    We are visiting from out of town and ate dinner here last night after being recommended by someone who lived in OKC. We had such a great experience! The restaurant was beautiful, the food was excellent and well priced, the portions were perfect, and the service was patient and wonderful. It felt like we were at home not visiting a city hours away.

    First off the food definitely was not all that but I was having a good time because it was my friend’s birthday dinner. The waiter we had is the rudest one of the bunch I frankly haven’t met anyone like her before. She had apparently been giving everyone an attitude and I didn’t know. I ordered their SMOKED CHICKEN PIZZA and it came with pork in it (mind you I’m Muslim and I don’t even eat pork) I politely informed her and she specifically said she would go talk to their manager about it. She finally came back with just chicken pizza and said “Does it look okay” I said yes. It was time to pay and I paid for me meal (another waiter brought the check). She then came back with another check for me claiming I had to pay for the two pizzas because it wasn’t their fault It came with pork. I was so surprised even my friends were trying to figure out what the heck she was talking about. She even proceeded to say everyone else had pork so why would I say I don’t eat it and how were they supposed to know. The whole time I remained calm and kept asking myself if all this was actually happening. She very rudely concluded by saying she would pay for it. A friend from another table came to ask what was happening and as I was trying to explain she turned around AGAIN to rudely inform us that she already said she will pay for it and we can leave. WORST SERVICE EVER. Definitely not coming back and such an employee should not even be working there.

    1st time dining, amazing atmosphere on the patio. Great, fast, friendly service to match. Seems like anything you could possibly order is absolutely incredible. We had a starter, drinks, and mains… every single aspect of our visit was spot on with any expectation we could have had. Will definitely add this to our regular weekend visits when in OKC. Thank you!!

    We had the pleasure of eating here for the first time tonight and the experience was stellar! To begin with we had reservations and by chance got there an hour early and they were able to seat us immediately. Our server's name was Van and he was awesome with his recommendations for us. We had some cocktails that were amazing and for an appetizer we had the baked crab dip that was so good. My husband got the duck breast and I got the chicken scaloppini and both were so flavorful and plentiful. The pictures were after we had dived into the meal. The portions were more than ample and we didn't have any room left for the delightful desserts they tempted us with. The atmosphere was really nice and the the service was amazing. Van made wonderful suggestions, and was quick with refills on our drinks and for anything else that we needed. The entire experience was great and we look forward to trying more dishes on our next trip. Highly recommend Stella's to anyone!

    Nicest waitress, good team work. Gave it a 4 because the pumpkin ravioli was a big pesto fest. Brie was great, salad and lemoncello was amazing.

    Arrived for a nice dinner and had a wonderful experience. We tried their charcuterie, duck risotto, and tomahawk pork shop. Flavors were incredible and the service was excellent. We'll definitely return.
