Stella Mia Ristorante - Westlake, Ohio

My wife and I go to Stella’s on a regular basis. We’ve never had a bad meal and we’ve tried most of the menu. We Always request the same server (Karli) and she never disappoints. Last night I had the pasta and meatball from the happy hour menu (pictured). I think it was only $6. Nice and spicy and filling for the price. The drinks are great too. If you haven’t been to Stella’s, give them a try. The food and atmosphere is wonderful.

The food here was great when we moved here from Georgia. However, it seems like it has gone downhill since then.
My wife ordered the Carbonara with gluten-free pasta. I got the Chicken Marsala. Was not the best, but it was ok. No more complimentary salad and bread, which is ok because it was never worth getting anyway. Fast getting our food, I'm sure it was pre-made and heated. It doesn't taste fresh, and the scallops smell horrible.

My advice is to order here ONLY if there is no other choice.

Wonderful experience! We enjoyed several different dishes that they easily made gluten free for us. Everything from the service to the food was amazing! I was so happy that they have a good amount of gluten free choices and were very accommodating with any questions we had about ingredients in different dishes. Highly recommend for a great date night! 1st floor so easily handicap accessible and also had handicap accessible parking available right outside.

We only recently discovered this place, and although my experience is still limited, I can say that Stella Mia is among the best Italian restaurants in the area. I love authentic Italian food and this hits close to the mark... well, closer than most.

The food is excellent. I've had the cheese ravioli a couple times (it's not on the main menu, but they do have it), and salad. My wife and child enjoyed pasta and vegetable dishes. We haven't yet tried any of the seafood. By the way, their Caesar dressing is more like a vinaigrette with herbs.
The service is great. Waitress was friendly and attentive.
The atmosphere is pleasant. Lighting and decor are unique in a good way, but plants are fake.

Also, they're one of very few places that actually get the order correct when ordering from Door Dash. My only wish is that they would add the blush sauce as an option when ordering; it's really good.

We'll be dining here again for sure. Recommended!

Absolutely incredible experience. The food, the staff, the atmosphere. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give. One of the best dishes around 🤌

I took my wife on a datenight we were greeted and seated the appetizers were good our cocktails were great. My wife ordered chicken marsala and was not impressed I had a steak which was good cooked well but pricey. Overall we enjoyed the experience but probably won't return soon.

I really wanted to like this place, it was super cute & I liked the vibe but the food & service were lacking profusely. The chicken carbonara I ordered was the most mediocre meal I've ever had. They use crumbled bacon from a bag that you put on salads & the chicken was most certainly from a frozen bag. They also put a ton of parsley on it to the point that the pasta was nearly green. "Finished" with parsley is just a dab on top not a giant serving of it mixed into the pasta. It was so bad. Complete waste of money.
Our waitress (who is also mentioned in another review) seemed to be on another planet. It took forever to get refills & we kept being ignored. It also took forever for her to actually take our order & she never refilled my water. Could have went to Marble Room for a better experience for the same price, won't be back.

With its high rating, I had high hopes when walking in this restaurant. Man, was I wrong! The attendants were not responsive, the dishes looked good but were poorly prepared (pasta was chewy, beef was dry and sauce too salty). I could have made it much better at home. What a waste of time and money. Definitely crossed this place off my list.
