cute little old school mom & pop Italian place with an insanely delicious menu. Can get a little loud when really busy. More

It was good, but nothing to write home about, unless you like this type of Italian. More

I had heard wonderful things about Stellas. Finally got there. The dish I ordered had a great sauce; however, the pasta was not cooked enough - I couldn't even call it al dente. I had rice pudding for dessert - really - $6 for rice pudding?? The rice wasn't cooked properly either. I don't know who was in the kitchen... More

We have gone to Stellas 10-15 times over the last 10 years or so. I think the restaurant is named after the owner's mom. We have never had a bad meal there. All of the food is carefully prepared, the atmosphere is homey and romantic. I am quite certain that many of the recipes have been passed down within the... More

Okay I admit it. When we got to Kingston after a long drive up from Virginia we were very much looking forward to another restaurant which ended up being closed for New Year's weekend. Bummer. But after a stroll up the street we settled on Stella's. The bar was packed, people looked happy inside so we gave it a try.... More

We went for dinner on a Friday night around 6 and spent an hour at the bar after being told it would only be a 20 minute wait, we had drinks and were unfamiliar with the area so we stayed. The food was average for your Italian. we waited another 15 minutes before a server came to take our order... More

My husband and I happened upon Stella's during a wander through Kingston. We had not planned to stay in the area for dinner after a long day in Rhinebeck, but decided to give it a go. The service was absolutely outstanding: our waitress was absolutely lovely; she and at least two other people checked on us frequently to make sure... More

My wife and I had lunch outside and the food and service was just outstanding. They really made you feel welcome plus everything was fresh and inexpensive. They went out of their way to make sure your meal was nothing but great. More

While the food was quite good, it took 30 minutes to get the food out from the time we placed the order. The waitress had to apologize for the kitchen bringing the appetizer at the same time as the entrees. More

My husband and I visited Stella's (with our 16 month old toddler in tow) because of the reviews on here and Yelp. We were not disappointed. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and quick--he was very willing to accommodate our needs and even suggested that we order a side dish of pasta for our son instead of shelling out for another...
