    It was once again excellent. Love the food, love the staff and love the always changing experience. Each member of the waitstaff are incredible and each time we look forward to who we will get to share another wonderful evening. We both had the filets and still do not understand how every time the filets are so tasty and tender. Fernando will not give away the secret but they are fantastic. Next visit we will try someone new on the menu as there is still much to explore. Thanks again to our friends at Rimini we will be back soon.

    We have been to Stella’s before for their holiday offerings and have not been disappointed. We decided to try their Christmas Eve dinner and we were served 4 courses of very delicious food. The prime rib dinner was particularly outstanding. What was different this time around was the service, however. They seemed to be short staffed and it took some time after we sat time for us to be acknowledged. After we received our food, no one bothered checking in with us to see whether it was to our liking. We ordered wine and it finally arrived after our dessert! My wife and I have eaten at Stella’s many times. We have always enjoyed the food and the service as being outstanding! I will just chalk this up to being a one off.

    This is our second time visiting Messina and it is amazing. The appetizer of Sicilian Meatballs is so flavorful and reminds me of my recent trip to Sicily. The Beet salad is probably my favorite, but I left just a little room for my Short Rib Lasagna. I am going to enjoy that the next day for sure. The sauce is so flavorful, perfection in every bite.
