Nestled in the vibrant heart of Montréal, Stellina stands out as a premier destination for Italian cuisine, blending serene ambiance with culinary artistry. Guests rave about the tasting menu, which delivers a parade of savory dishes, each masterfully crafted. Loreli Rodriguez perfectly encapsulates the experience, highlighting both the incredible food and attentive service that keeps her returning for more. The pasta, a standout feature of Stellina, receives universal acclaim for its impeccable texture. Melissa Ngo praises the al dente perfection of the noodle dishes, particularly the Rigatoni alla Carbonara, known for its rich and creamy sauce that has become a crowd favorite. Diners are often treated to a view of the open kitchen, allowing them to witness the precision and passion of the chefs. Lackhana Tep describes this as a “treat,” showcasing how the kitchen operates like a well-rehearsed performance. While some patrons note that the tasting menu can be on the pricier side, the quality and presentation make it a worthy splurge, as Vasily R points out. With an atmosphere ideal for romantic dinners, group gatherings, or solo indulgences, Stellina earns a solid recommendation for anyone seeking high-quality Italian dining in a stylish setting.

Beautiful ambiance, incredible food, and super attentive service! Stellina is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in montreal! I’ve had their tasting menu twice and was blown away both times. So many savory dishes! I look forward to the next tasting experience!

Really enjoyed my visit to Stellina. The pasta was nicely al dente, the steak was cooked just right, and the cocktail hit the spot. The appetizers were a pleasant surprise — definitely worth trying. On top of that, the service was amazing — friendly and attentive. Would come back for sure.

My friend and I visited Stellina on Sunday night with a last minute reservation and the only seats available were at the bar, which offered the perfect view of the open kitchen. Watching the chefs work was a treat in itself. The kitchen was incredibly organized, with each dish prepared with such attention to detail that it was almost like watching a performance. You could see the professionalism in every plate they sent out. We started with the Funghi Saltimbocca antipasto. For our main dishes, we went with two pasta selections: Taglioni and Rigatoni alla Carbonara. The carbonara seemed to be a crowd favorite; we saw it coming out frequently and quickly understood why. Rich, creamy, and delicious, it’s a must-try.

I only have good things to say about this place. It can often be a hit or miss with new Italian restaurants opening in the city since the MTL market is super saturated with them. We had a prior reservation at Dinette Marcella, which failed due to a reservation error on their end. We were able to secure a table at the Chef's bar at Stellina rapidly and without fuss. We were well greeted, and the service was super professional. The ambiance was lively, and our food was well-prepared and delicious. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for high-quality pasta in a more upscale environment. Perfect for dates, groups or even solo dining. Keep up the great work, guys.

We absolutely loved it here. We got the taster menu with wine pairings which was awesome as we didn't need to think about which wine to get with what. Awesome way to try a lot of things, and the presentation was top notch too. With that said, it ended up being a bit pricier than similar restaurants/experiences I've been to. Still, adding it to my favorite list!

We stopped by on our last night for a night cap and dessert. Great atmosphere, friendly bartender, wonderful drink and a delicious tiramisu! Will definitely have dinner there the next time we are in town!

If you are wondering if you should try Stellina, think no more - it’s an Italian dining experience you do not want to miss. A perfect balance of Montreal class with a relaxed and welcoming flair, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, has attentive servers and an open air kitchen which allows you to see the visually stimulating dishes being prepared. I enjoyed the Insalata and the Spaghetti al Nero, with a side of the focaccia with prosciutto butter (you read that right). Delicious from start to finish. This was complemented by worthy cocktails. In terms of value, I have no regrets. Indeed, the only regret would have been to not try out Stellina.

I went for my birthday and I was so blown away by everything! The food was spectacular, but the attentiveness and care by the service staff and the management team was amazing. It was worth every penny, and I’ll be recommending to all my friends & family!
