La Stella Italian Steakhouse and Music Lounge - Addison Reviews

Poor customer service, fishy smelling bland risotto. Slow service. VERY Overpriced - $22 mixed drink, lowest priced entrée was over $50. Uncooperative as to separate checks for our group and then charged each tab an auto automatic 20% gratuity. See photo of my receipt. We asked in advance that we each get a separate receipt and they agreed but then manager refused to and said when they are busy they cannot, but they were maybe half full on this Tuesday night. After much effort they agreed and then charged an auto 20% gratuity when they probably would have done much better without the attitude and without the auto gratuity added. Food so-so and sooooo not worth the price. although the decor was gorgeous and nicely done. It was definitely a one and done restaurant. Will not go back. Will not recommend it to anyone.

La Stella delivers an exceptional dining experience that blends elevated Italian cuisine with genuine warmth and soul. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, the service is attentive and personal, and the food is simply excellent. The meatballs (Mama’s recipe) are unforgettable, deeply flavorful and comforting in the best way. The Spaghetti Alessandra is a standout dish, and adding burrata is highly recommended for an extra layer of flavor and texture. What truly makes La Stella remarkable is the hospitality. The owner’s passion, gratitude, and respect for the people around him are evident in everything. From the way guests are welcomed to how the restaurant was introduced to its closest family, friends, and partners. That authenticity is felt the moment you step inside. La Stella isn’t just a meal it’s an experience built on pride, family, and excellence. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-tier Italian cuisine in a beautiful setting. Do yourself a favor and request Arif. He is an absolute delight to have as a server.

Just came here for the second time on Friday, and I have been telling all my friends they need to try this place. From the steak to the pasta, and the appetizers, all the dishes I’ve had were exquisitely prepared. Arif has been my server both times and regardless if it was a quiet Tuesday or busy Friday night he took his time to share his expertise on the menu and make our presence feel appreciated.
