La Stella Cucina Verace is a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant. The name Verace, meaning "authentic" in Italian, reflects the essence of the family who immigrated from Naples, Italy, to Texas. Now rooted in the Lone Star State, the name La Stella ("The Star") symbolizes their journey. The family's goal in opening La Stella was simply to share their generational passion for authentic, verace (quality-driven) Italian recipes, complemented by warm Southern Italian hospitality.

The food and service were excellent, however the Bar and Drinks were weak. Our Server Paco did an amazing job. For starters we had the Wagyu Beef meatballs and the Lobster Salad, the best we've had! Our entrees were Beef Bolognese and Spaghetti Allesandra, both were amazing. The live entertainment topped it off and made our evening! We will definitely be back!

We were a table of four and we were in a round booth so it made it hard for conversation. Noise level is very high so it added to the challenge of hearing one another. To be fair, they did offer us another table and we declined as we were already seated.

Our waiter Paco Hernandez was very attentive, knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed. He gave us some excellent recommendations which we ordered and they were excellent. The whole dining experience was amazing. I would highly recommend Stella’s and it’s a very convenient location if you are attending the Winspear Theater.

We just wanted to thank the team at La Stella for the excellent service the other evening before the Come Away show at the Winspear. We appreciate how conscientious they were with regards to everyone's need who were trying to get to the show on time. As it is many times in Dallas the rush hour traffic was not very cooperative. We wanted to specifically thank: Kyle, Amanda and Joseph for being gracious, competent and astute to the circumstances that were out of their control. Everyone was hustling from the hostess to the bartenders, the support staff and management. The soloist who entertained--Primo! And the FOOD--the pre-meal bread is phenomenal and blown away by the beet caprese salad, the branzino with the sautéed spinach some of the best I have ever had (and I have eaten it almost everywhere) so this means we will be back (when not in a rush) and try out more of the fantastic menu they have assembled. We wish them well with their next location where ever it may be located. Bravo!!
