About this business

Visit this place for classic dishes with a sophisticated twist. This funky, modern-furniture-filled eatery is relatively new, but has already earned a steady following of fans hungry for fresh mixed green salads, pastas and sandwiches. The mustard and brie pasta with chicken especially enjoys huge popularity. Grab a table on the tiny patio, or in the stylish lime-green dining room. Reservations are not accepted, so plan on waiting for a table if visiting for dinner on a weekend night.

Flies and dirt make this a disgusting place – My wife and I used to go to this restaurant regularly until we sat near the kitchen (which is visible from the dining area) and saw our waitress handling food after money, improperly handling glasses, dipping food in a sauce container and eating it, etc. The restaurant is filthy. The furniture, the floor, the salt shakers, my silverware, the glasses and dishes are all in need of a serious cleaning. The flies are out of control in the summer and constantly land on you and the tabl... read more

Good, but overated, like my review – OK the bad - this place is overated, as the food is not that great. However, it is probably my favorite restaraunt in the Highlands due to the atmosphere and outdoor seating. Expect not too pay that much and get a decent meal. This is a place to have some good times!

My absolute favorite! – This is my absolute favorite! From the fresh pasta to the even fresher ingrediants. Yes it is small but its cozy. AWESOME date place! Tomato basil spagetti is my favorite!

thoroughly enjoyed it! – Wow, I'm glad I tried the restaurant before reading some of the bad reviews because it was one of the best meals and the best service I've experienced in a while! The waitress that served us was helpful, friendly, knowedgeable and attentive. It was a busy Friday night but we didn't wait long and our party of four was very, very pleased - so pleased we're going back in a few weeks. We sat inside on a cool night but even though the place is small it wasn't a bother to be close to other tables - just a ... read more

What problems? – I had read the recent bad reviews on Stella's and decided to pass on it when my girlfriend wanted pasta. We went to Magianno's and there was a 2 hour wait so I decided to just drive by Stella's to see if we could get in. We got a parking spot right in front which is unheard of and then had no wait for a table for 2 at 7:30 PM on Saturday night. We started with the carrot salad with gorgonzola dressing which was very nice. She had the 32nd st pasta and I had the sausage in tomato vodka cream sauce. Both were ... read more

GREAT! – Great food and service! Walked in at 6:30 on a Friday night and got a table for two with no problem. Cozy atmosphere. Didn't notice closeness of tables, perhaps because of my charming companion! Friendly servers. Extensive menu, and both our dinners were great. Looking forward to returning and bringing out of town guests. Forget Maggianos!

Don't bother – This was a huge disappointment. Just don't waste your money. If you want to have a great experience, try Cafe Star (amazingly it's owned by the same people). It's just that the service is SO terrible at Stella's. The review about the overweight blond woman was absolutely accurate. Just don't waste your money or time by going to Stella's. Food has gone downhill and the service is the worst in the industry.

Used to be my favorite restaurant...so sad – For the last 5 years, Stella's had been my favorite restaurant, and my family and friends would dine here weekly. I have told everyone I know about this place, and have recommended it to at least 100 people. The creamy-sausage pasta is addictive, the atmosphere is quaint and unpretentious, and the service WAS so warm and pleasant. This all ended last week. I had some family in town and everyone was so excited to go to Stella's again...until we got there. We were greeted by the mos... read more

perfectio! – Stella Trattoria is one of the finest Italian restaurant Denver, CO has to offer. Great food, inviting staff and an atmosphere not much different from your own home, in fact its location is a remodeled home. From their Tomato Vodka, 32nd St Pasta and mouth watering desserts Stella's is truly a unique taste of Italy only a connoisseur of delicious food and warm atmosphere could appreciate. I have written this short blurb only out of curiosity for other Italian restaurants in Denver and stumbled upon two very sad ... read more
