"Really wanted to like this place, especially since it's named after my pup . But unfortunately our experience wasn't very great. My dog would have checked in on me more. The hostess had a lovely welcoming smile and attended to us after we sat down, but then after that, while our water glasses were empty, she was folding napkins and cleaning tables that nobody every sat at. Maybe she thought that water filling and checking in was meant for the waitress but she was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Mind you, it was not terribly busy when we first got there, although picked up by the end of our meal. The food was okay. Cauliflower appetizer was flavorful, roasted carrots were basic, octopus a bit too hard, bread tartine pretty to look at. Main dish of fish and gnocchi was bland. Friends ordered steak, waitress did not ask how they wanted it cooked. One friend specifically asked for rare, it came out well done so she sent it back. While I understand that getting attentive restaurant staff can be hard when there is only a few of them (seemed like 3 staff working the tables if you include the hostess), for the prices that we paid, the expectations were not met. We had to ask for more water, more wine, salt and the tab. Probably could have walked out without paying and no one would've noticed."

Reasonably priced breakfast with quite good coffee. Had the chilaquiles which was beautifully presented and delicious tasting. Super satisfying experience with kind staff.

Nice atmosphere. Not too many options. Pricy. Food was good, but not legendary. Server was great. For the price I expected a bit better. My friend ordered a dish and specifically stated no mushrooms please. Her meal was full of mushrooms. If you are paying these prices you should get exactly what you order.

Highly recommend this place. Absolutely flawless and creative food with impeccable service. Easily on par with the Michelin rated restaurants we’ve visited. Warm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff. Lovely chef who graciously accommodated our food allergies as well as child preferences. Already looking forward to our next visit View menu

We are so glad we came to Stella tonight. The food is incredible, the space is so welcoming, warm, and fun-the kitchen is fully open-so you get a first row seat to the creativity this restaurant delivers. We chose two dishes: a chicken/risotto and a swordfish/gnocchi...YUM this restaurant is a very easy drive from Downtown Truckee. Go here!

Great spot for a nice dinner in Truckee. My family really enjoyed the octopus and cauliflower appetizers, as well as the king salmon and tri-tip. The salmon was definitely the highlight and the sourdough Tartine was solid. The only dish we ordered that was so-so was the halibut as it came out a bit dry. We sat outdoor on the patio which was lovely and had a cute vibe. Service was great!

This was a favorite place of mine the past few years and it's only gotten better with the new chef and changes they've made. They now have full service waiters and more seating options. The menu choices became fewer but there is nothing on it that disappoints. The cauliflower is a staple and a must. The Tartine bread starter (not shown) was divine and great for sharing. The halibut had so much flavor! They have unique combinations of ingredients that complement each other really well. View menu

My husband and I recently had dinner at Stella with another couple and it was great! Our table was ready when we arrived, a beautiful booth which I requested. Jasmine was our waitress. She was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and very pleasant. We had the gnocchi for an appetizer, which is outstanding and the polenta with Gorgonzola , which is delicious. Two of us had the veal piccata , which was out of this world, and the other two had pasta dishes , which they enjoyed. We finished off the meal with crème brûlée. Yum! We had a great evening and enjoyed every bite. Thank you, Elisa! We will see you soon!

This place was bad from the beginning. We were approaching the door and the hostess walked in before us and closed the door literally in our faces. Next we were seated in front of the open back doors, and it's 45°F outside. The people next to us were wearing puffy jackets and hoodies because it so cold inside the restaurant. The manager insisted they couldn't possibly close those doors because someone might sit outside. So we were seated at a table 3 feet from the previous table not much help. Then, hungry and waiting for our server, the lethargic waitress showed up and finally took our order THEN told us what wasn't on the menu, which happened to be what we ordered. The worst restaurant I'v...

"Oh my goodness! There is so many great things to say about this place. Let's start with our waitress, Courtney. She was AWESOME! She was super nice (we had 5 kids with us ranging in ages from 13 to 6). She was patient with the kids and answered all of their questions and had a great attitude.We went during happy hour which had some great options. I wish I'd of sprang $2 more for the shot of whiskey bc 5 kids...whooo mama needed it We ordered the hummus and flatbread snack, it was very flavorful and the flatbread had a nice texture and had some spices on it that brought out the flavors of the hummus, which had pistachios and kalamata olives on top. Super yummy.We chose to stick to pizzas since we were on our way home and had a 3 hour drive ahead of us, so it came out promptly.Pork belly and Padron was AMAZING! it had an amazing flavor with the honey. We also ordered a meatball pie. I'm super picky about meatballs and these balls were nothing less than absolutely perfect. They weren't overrun by fennel like some balls.The other two pizzas were aimed at the kids, cheese and pepperoni. As mundane as that sounds they were awesome also. The pepperoni had a great flavor and the cheese blend they use must've been made by unicorns because it was some of the best I've had.Now, let's talk about the crust. It was thin and not overpowering. The crust didn't take away from the magic of the toppings but added to the party that was going on inside my mouth!I will definitely be back next time I come to Truckee!Thank you Courtney! Update: 5/21/22Still AMAZING! Their cocktail menu is superb! Creative AND tasty!The hummus is fantastic! The pistachios taste super fresh and their olive oil is smooth. I would like to see a collaboration with their equally fantastic neighbor, Tahoe Oil Spice.I'm NEVER disappointed in their food or their service.5 stars, as usual!"
