"This was the second time to visit La Stella around ticketed events in the arts district but definitely not the last. We had Alan A as our server both times and he was wonderful. Knowledgeable yet relatable, low pressure yet attentive. There is obvious and appreciated priority placed on taking your time and not rushing your dining experience. The live entertainment from pianist (different both times) was a great touch. On this visit even the owner came out to welcome us and ask about our food and experience. Is it a cheap place to eat? No. However i have spent more and received much less in food quality and service than the high bar set here. It’s a great value if you consider location, quality and service. The grilled octopus for appetizer and bread pudding for dessert are my pro tips!!"
