La Stella Pizzeria - Norwich

We could not be happier to stumble over this great Italian restaurant in a historic building in downtown Norwich. We started with the garlic knots that were incredible and were well paired with the side of the meat balls we had. The Marinara sauce (which is also slightly covered with fresh basil ligaments) is one of the best we had in every restaurant. The meatballs are amazing and contain the smallest touch of red pepper and give them a beautiful subtle kick. The homemade soups tasted like we were in my mother's house. The homemade salad dresses could not be beaten, and the salads that accompanied our meals were equally impressive. The chicken parmesan and calfsparmesan were delicious. Fork tender and seasoned perfectly to accompany the marinara that sat on the top. I can't believe I haven't mentioned the prizes of the Entrees yet... to the most expensive of any Italian restaurant we were. T, our server, was very attentive and friendly. Justin, the owner, was more than hospitable and ensured that every aspect of our visit was one we would not forget. We'll be back (soon) to try their pizza that looked frightened.

I love La Stella's and always have since they've reopened not to long ago, their food is always delicious and I try to eat here when I can afford it, the food is never a disappointment to the taste buds.

Everything was good. We ordered Buffalo wings and buffalo chicken pizza. The pizza was nothing like I've tasted. It was the best pizza I've ever eated. The wings were like no other too! It was delicious. And the service was good too. Overall this restaurant rates 5 stars!

Our party of four ordered the classic bruschetta appitizer, Italian style Family Favorite pizza, lobster ravioli, red bolognaise pasta, and lemon butter chicken pasta. The generous portions arrived perfectly prepared, steaming hot and bursting with flavor. The deserts were also fantastic. Excellent service delivered by a friendly high-functioning team. We received exceptional value for our money and time.

Some of the best Italian food I've had and I live in NY.
