This was girls night out and we always pick somewhere new. Let me tell you that Stella D'oro did NOT disappoint!! The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The food was AMAZING (just look at those pictures), and our bartender/server was so kind, funny and professional. I have a food allergy and he explained every meal is made fresh so there wasn't one thing on the menu I couldn't order that they couldn't accommodate. That was mind blowing to me and very much appreciated! There are also options for everyone with specific diet needs. We got there early around 515 and had no issues getting a table bit as we were leaving around 7 the place was starting to fill up. If you have a table of 4 or more I highly recommend making a reservation. Overall, this will 100% be a place we will be returning to. There literally isn't one bad thing I could say.
Last night I had dinner with 2 friends at this wonderful Restaurant. We all had the sea bass over risotto special. It was absolutely amazing! Wait staff was attentive and parking was very convenient. Love the warm and inviting atmosphere at this well located restaurant just off Main Street.
This was a five star for me. I really enjoyed everything about this establishment. The service was outstanding, the food delicious, and the price was good. I would recommend trying this restaurant out if your in the area of Middletown, Ct.
Had a wonderful dinner here celebrating my son's birthday. Fine Italian dining at its best! There were 6 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Fresh ingredients cooked perfectly. The veal was outstanding; as was the lobster ravioli. Portions were generous; desserts were delicious. Service was attentive and professional; yet we never felt rushed. A hidden gem in Middletown; don't miss it!
You feel the classic Italian restaurant environment as you walk in. The menu has plenty of variety. The food was excellent. I ate the Scallop & Shrimp fra Diavolo, my wife had the Cavatelli and she loved it. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We had a great time and will definitely be back.
Stopped by here for lunch on a Friday. The place was empty but the lone waiter immediately sprung into action and have us seated. The architecture inside is quite unique. The waiter told us this used to be an opera house when it first opened 50 years ago. Given that we are the only table in the restaurant, I wasn't sure if the food is good. They brought out a basket of warm toasted breads. I ordered the Pasta e Fagioli (Italian bean soup) and it was delicious. The soup was full of fresh ingredients, with fresh vegetables, beans, small slices of pancetta. For main course, I had the Cavatelli, served with sausage, broccoli rabe, cherry peppers. The broth was thin and not oily. It has just the right amount of saltiness and acidity. The pasta was perfectly cooked to al dente. My mom ordered the Mediterranean salad with arugula and goat cheese. She also enjoyed her dish. I will definitely come back and try their dinner menu.
A wonderful dining experience. We were immediately welcomed and decided to go to the bar for happy hour where Nikki took care of us. He was attentive and has a great personality and gave us recommendations for food. The lemon drop cocktail was light and refreshing, perfect for July and all of the food we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the Stella chicken. A balance of seafood flavor and with perfectly tender shrimp in a light sauce. Also try the eggplant rollatini was full of ricotta and mozzarella cheese and you could taste how fresh the marinara sauce is!
Great night out! The food was very tasty and enjoyable. We shared an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms and the accompanying sauce was excellent. I had the swordfish with mashed and spinach which was superb. I will be back, old school Italuan restarant who gets it right!
I went in early weekend, great staff!! Some of my order wasn't on the menu but they accommodated.The bread and italian oil with the... pesto? Was yummy....,The app calamari was very good, great marinara dipping sauce, fried perfectly, great peppers!! The chicken picata was perfect. I can't wait to go back.
We had a fantastic lat lunch at this Italian restaurant and were especially impressed with our server, Esmir—he was awesome and really on top of everything throughout the night. The service made the experience that much better. The food was excellent across the board. The chicken parm was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the pasta with calamari was absolutely delicious. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, and they even went out of their way to make my son a pasta vodka, which he loved. Portions were generous, and although we didn’t have room for dessert, everything we tried was spot on. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and amount of food we received. We’ll definitely be back!
