Stella Italian Fare Utc - San Diego

I had the pleasure of visiting a charming little Italian restaurant yesterday. After being warmly welcomed by the owner of this family-run establishment, we were promptly attended to by our waitress, Sam (short for Samantha). She was not only well-versed in the menu but also knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparation of the dishes. We began our meal with Calamari Fritti, and then I enjoyed the daily special, veal piccata, while my wife opted for Tortellini alla Boscaiola with cheese tortellini. Both dishes, along with the appetizer, were absolutely delightful. To top off our meal, my wife chose a lemon cake for dessert, and I ordered the classic tiramisu, paired with a robust black coffee. With its clean and inviting atmosphere, excellent service, and authentic Italian cuisine—all at reasonable prices—I was transported back to my time in Rome. Grazie mille!

My fiancé and I absolutely adore Stella UTC. It's our favorite place for date nights. The food is fantastic, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is wonderful.

This is the best Italian restaurant in San Diego! The food is fantastic, the wine selection is excellent, and the staff is outstanding. I highly recommend the lamb steak!

Absolutely loved this place! Loved the management and the servers. And the food was amazing! I was eating here a few nights when I was visiting from Los Angeles where I live. I ended up ordering everything haha! Love everyone and love this place I will be returning again when I visit San Diego again!

'Stella DID get her groove back!! ' Under new ownership and management, I can tell the new owner takes great pride in his restaurant bc it shows in the food and services. The fresh ingredients from freshly made pastas to one of a kind salami chocolate dessert are impeccable. It 's as close to having dinner in Italy as you can get. Every month the restaurant has a dinner event which happens to be tonight! Enjoy 5 courses with wine pairing for only $60/person. Come tonight and experience the authenticity of Italian food in San Diego. We love this place so much so tipped the waiter $40
