Stella Modern Italian Cuisine specializes in fresh seasonal menus featuring local and organic ingredients when possible. The wood burning oven is the heart of the restaurant, producing Roman style pizza and the majority of the menu. Our culinary team led by Executive Chef Josh Partain has created a modern menu using ideas that begin with traditional Italian dishes. The wine list is an interesting group of Italian and American wines personally selected by owner/operator Lori Burson.

    Lovely venue and service was great. Unfortunately the food was hit or miss. Several members of our party were European (Italian or German) so I understand their bar for Italian food is set high. The wild boar ragu and the baked brie were a hit. But the risotto (too salty and gummy texture), pizza (specifically the crust), and espresso were awful.

    My wife and I both had the pumpkin ravioli and it was very good. I had seen it on the menu online and that prompted the visit. They had anchovies for the caesar salad which many places do not have. A suggestion for the fall menu is butternut squash with a gorgonzola cream sauce.

    Stella is our favorite spot in OKC, and we find ourselves stopping in for date night, special occasions, or this time, for a quick dinner after a party. It’s wonderful to have a gem like this where we know that there will be a novel and thoughtful menu, fantastic service, delicious food, and a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere.

    What a wonderful place, the only thing better than the service is the food. The best part about Stella’s is they offer something for everyone, besides the traditional pasta dishes the chicken and pork chops are fantastic.

    Terrible experience. The food was Ok but much to overpriced. The entire experience felt like people who never ran a restaurant before are trying to run a restaurant. I don’t even want to waste my time detailing all of the issues we encountered while dining here. Needless to say, we will not be dining here again.

    I’ve eaten here many times and it’s been fantastic. My food this particular time wasn’t very good. They’ve also taken my favorite salad off the menu and my favorite wedding soup had zero flavor. Waitress was nice and respectful but forgot to bring salt so couldn’t eat my soup.

    it started off well but then our server began to seem uninterested in us and was not very warm. the sausage fettuccine dish was rather boring but the chicken with the fettuccine was very good, and just a tad spicy. at 6:15 they had already ran out of the desert we wanted. surprised me. overall I rate it a 3.5. Would I go back, yes, but it’s not high on my list

    Were seated immediately and waiter was very attentive. First time there, husband had short ribs & I had chicken & grilled zucchini flat bread pizza. Our friends had salads and sides of asparagus & fingerling potatoes. Everything was delicious and we shared so everyone could get a taste. Didn't get dessert but the menu items sounded wonderful. Would highly recommend - prices moderate and nice atmosphere. Will certainly go there again, and make a reservation on Open Table.
