    We had a wonderful meal at Stella Cucina last night. The service was excellent, our waitress Erin was exceptional. Very knowledgeable about the menu , had nice suggestions and was so nice . The food was nicely spaced out and we didn’t feel rushed . We shared the PB&J to start which was fresh sliced prosciutto, burata and fig jam . The app was good sized and so delicious. It was definitely better with the house bread than the bread sticks, but that’s just my opinion. I had the spaghetti with shrimp and my husband had the vongole special . Both were delicious. Fresh homemade pasta cooked perfectly, again a good size portion. We shared the tiramisu for dessert which was very light and not too sweet, could have used a few more lady fingers but overall very tasty. The cocktails and wines were lovely as well. The menu is a bit pricey, but I guess every restaurant seems to be pricey these days. Good for a special occasion, which this was my birthday .

    Food was amazing and outdoor seating added to the ambiance. Service was good, lower rating was due to the hostess’s.
