Stella Notte - Ellicott City

Love for Stella for dinner, special occasions, or only for Happy Hour! The food is always on the point and the line between fine dinning and comfort food. The staff has very little sales, is very friendly and knowledgeable. This is not a fast-paced restaurant in/out, it is more of a casual sitting and relaxing...I can give you a cocktail dining experience. I love this place

This was my first time here and it was AMAZING!! We went for our anniversary and I?m so pleased. The portions are huge, you wont leave hungry and you WILL have leftovers! The Stella Note sauce is a must try, easily the best pasta sauce I?ve had in a long time. The tomato bruschetta is really good too, very different but delicious. The prices were OK, but honestly, for the amount of food you get and the quality of the food, its definitely worth it. The restaurant is super pretty and the staff is very nice.

Good seating area and separate bar area. Has enclosed outdoor seating. Food was ok.

Very average Italian-american restaurant. Not very authentic and I?d rather drive to DC or Baltimore for better. The mussels in white sauce were overpowered by white wine. The fruitti di mare seafood was not very fresh and pasta was forgettable. The spaghetti squash primavera wasn?t flavorful and the squash was still pretty hard. Also pretty expensive for the quality and service was pretty slow. The interior is very nice, which is surprising given the exterior. I?d only give them another chance to try the pizza which seemed to be the popular thing to get.

Great food. Wish it had not taken us so long to try them. Definitely need to make a reservation on Fridays and Saturdays. Lots of flavor, good portion sizes, fair prices. Save room for their apple pie cheesecake. It shouldn't work, but it does!
