Stresa Italian Restaurant

Way overpriced for plain Italian food. They don't even provide refills on soda. Nothing special about this place. Skimpy portions which is definitely not something Italian cuisine is known for. Hard pass...I don't recommend any of the dishes. The fried calamari was bland and greasy, the gorgonzola veal was chewy, and the food came to the table cold.

Food was bland. For the price you would expect better.

It's a must go for Italian. Compares favorably with best of NYC. Following is not a misprint: Happy Hour @ bar seating is....ENTIRE check 35% off... drink up, mangia ! ..

Hidden gem of an Italian restaurant!

What a gem. Set in a nondescript strip mall, Stresa offers some of the best Italian food I've come across in West Palm Beach. The service is always timely and non intrusive. I love their carpaccio, but it's the Seafood that always seems to shine here.

Worst “Italian” food I’ve ever had! Spent $200 on take out from here and it was such a let down. You think you would get some type of quality after paying that much. Ordered a dinner size chicken fettuccine and got 2 large chicken breast’s and a toddlers portion of plain angel hair noodle and some empty snap pea skins. Not at all fettuccine. Not too mention the rest of the food that was ordered was obviously bought in, nothing tasted fresh. The order of rosemary potatoes came with 6 dried up, unseasoned potatoe wedges. If you like gross, premade, tasteless garbage and being ripped off then this is the place for you!

Ehhh at best…honestly apps; mussels and calamari were ok but honestly I couldn’t get over the portion, they were so little! A bowl of mussels, the smallest bowl maybe, 10-13 mussels sad looking and same with calamari very disappointing! As to the entrees chicken Trevisana had no flavor, what happened at the least add some salt?? Confused! Scallopini dish comes with a few terribly cut vegetables no flavor and just blahh and what I can’t understand this is an Italian restaurant so why not add an option for pasta for these dishes instead they charged 6 dollars for 3 fork full of pasta again disappointing. Branzino was ok but they gave the same tiny portion of those weird cut vegetables that were flavorless, why wouldn’t they add a salad to that dish. All and all this place was disappointing and they need to work on this menu and chef needs to work on tasting their food before sending it out. If I put food out like this I’d feel embarrassed. Sorry not sorry.

Parking: Pretty much unlimited.

Excellent food and service. Dining at the bar or table is equally great.

Great menu! Service A+ Definitely a place to go !!!
