Stella's Cucina

"This is my third time at Stella’s Cucina ⭐️ I took my partner on a birthday dinner the first time and it was fabulous! I decided to make a review after trying this place for handful of times. This time we sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience. Our bar tender Derek was phenomenal! We started with their famous espresso Martinis, then decided to grab a bite and ordered the charcuterie tower :) it came with three cheeses, 3 meats, olives, mustard, nuts, and dried figs and bread of course! We loved the charcuterie a lot! We also had a complementary chef’s taste buttner nut squash soup and it was delightfully! For dessert, we had their famous tiramisu! They do such a great job with their representation! The tiramisu comes in a small pot with mint! It taste amazing! The overall experience is really awesome! Their atmosphere is very nice! I loved the decor and the live music! Two things that I dislike about this place: 1- Their AI generated art piece which I don’t think it fits the vibe 2- For first time visitors, it could be a bit confusing to find the restaurant as their sign is small and kinda hidden. Other than that, highly recommended!"

"We dined here for our anniversary celebration. It is the quality of restaurant that makes you feel like you're dining in NYC or San Francisco. The atmosphere, the service and the food transport you out of Boulder to an exquisite fine dining paradise. We can't wait to go back."

"The space, ambiance and cocktails are definitely a 10 - Great Gatsby, stylish feel around the bar and the drinks were spot on. That, in itself was an experience. The courses, however were another story. We started with the Burrata Special (a little bland in flavor, it needed a little tart, maybe) and Steak Tartare (very nice) for the antipasti. For the primi piatti, we had the special pasta of the evening which was a mixture of local fungi and the gnocchi off the menu, both were very nice. For our secondi piatti, we received recommendations to order the seabass, eggplant and side of beans. We were definitely disappointed with the overcook seabass (although nicely butterflied) and the cannellini beans in sauce (something we could have made at home). The eggplant was nice and the tomato sauce was a nice compliment. I was definitely looking forward to an exceptional meal here, especially being noted as a Michelin recommended restaurant, but the experience fell short."

"If you didn’t know this restaurant was there you’d walk right past it. It’s a discreet entrance that opens up to a magical interior. Every inch of the space has been tastefully designed and it’s truly an experience. You can just hang out at the spacious bar or reserve a table. The intimate seating is thoughtfully laid out. The service was spot on, very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delightfully curated. Although the portions might seem smaller, it is very filling. The appetizers are perfect and the entrees ignite your taste buds. We enjoyed a few different cocktails along with a tasty desert. I’m excited to go back."

"I could not have been more impressed with Stella's and can't wait to go back. The atmosphere was unlike anywhere I've been and I appreciated the subtle live music. Their servers were unbelievably attentive without being overbearing (special shout out to Florin, he was great). The cocktails were unique twists on classic favorites and the food was better than most high end "traditional" Italian places I've been. I would seriously come back for the bread alone. I most appreciated the unique plating for all three courses, especially the dessert (definitely get the tiramisu)."
