Stella West Hollywood

I had the pleasure of dining at Stella on their first night of service and I have to say I was blown away. The design by prominent restaurant designer Wendy Hayworth is stunning with attention to detail to inspire. You feel transported to another place and time with luxury and artistry at every turn from the lighting to the vintage glasses and elegant plateware. The music really made the vibe something special including some of my unexpected and favorite early 2000s r&b jams. The right music can take the vibe to a 10- and this was it for us! Now on to the food and drinks, every dish impressed us with it's fresh high quality ingredients, beautiful and creative presentation and plating , and delicious robust flavors. Chef Rob Gentile is indeed a star with incredible attention to detail in all of this dishes. My favorite in experiential presentation and taste was the tableside carved branzino carpaccio. The Salmon was a close second. As simple as it was the citrus salad was divine too! To top it off, as a very Italian restaurant you never know, but they happily accommodated my gluten free and dairy free dietary restrictions :) Their cocktails were beautiful and well balanced. This would be a spectacular place for a private event or private dining from the patio to the two private dining rooms and giant bars and captivating spaces on two levels- I can't wait to bring back friends and clients and entertain here. The service was exceptional. It was not pretentious, very warm welcoming and fun with the utmost VIP hospitality. Stella was exceptional and the experience was worth the price- you must celebrate here!!

Absolutely loved the ambiance, service and food. Beautiful restaurant and I especially enjoyed the pizzas, salmon crudo and pork dish! Would def go back for a date night or girls night out!!

An incredible dining experience from restaurateur Janet Zuccarini and chef Rob Gentile. Standout dishes for me were the Carpaccio di Bronzino (which is hand carved at the table and beautifully plated), the most tender Iberico Pork Pluma, and Pizza all Romana — thin crust with perfect sauce and scissors to slice. The service is meticulous without feeling formal and the vibe is chic, contemporary and sexy thanks to designer Wendy Haworth. Bravo!

Had an amazing dinner at Stella’s! Every dish from the appetizers to the desserts was perfection. The pasta tasted like it was made fresh in-house, and the flavors were just incredible. The staff made us feel so welcome, adding to the whole experience. It’s clear they put a lot of love into their food and service. Can’t wait to go back!

We were treated to an unforgettable dining experience from the moment we arrived. Ohhh myyy! Each dish that graced our table was a work of art, bursting with flavor and passion. Midway through our meal, we couldn't resist peeking into the open kitchen. "What do we have going on here, chef?" we asked, impressed by the skill and dedication on display. Whether you're dining with them crew or with that special someone, prepare to be wowed. Grazie to the entire team for an unforgettable experience!

Rob Gentile is the real deal. Roman-style pizza and table side branzino are a must!

Spectacular room, food, and service!
