Cafe Stella Modern Italian Cuisine & Bar

I went in when I wasnt very hungry, but I will be coming back for sure. I had the garlic bread, which was so perfectly soft and delicious. I also had the peach and vanilla italian cream soda. This is so delicious. The peach syrup has a tangy taste that makes me think it is made from real peaches, it does not have the synthetic peach syrup taste. It would be too sour for me if I just had the peach flavor. The waiter offered to add vanilla when I asked for plain peach , and I am so glad he did. My friend had the pasta marinara. He enjoyed it. He wishes the noodles were slightly softer but says this is typical of pasta restaurants to serve it more al dense for authenticity. The sauce tastes good as well. They have gluten free pasta, which my fiancee needs as an option, but we did not try this today.

We sat in the back on the patio and it was perfect sitting under an umbrella with trees dappling the lowering sun with oldie swing jazz music. They brought our gelato out first like we like it and our gluten free meals came out beautifully presented and very good! Gf noodles are usually rubbery, but their chef cooked them to perfection. We would make the two hour trip back up just to come eat here again. They also made my Coke Zero a Cherry Coke using syrup from the bar. We enjoyed eating here!
