Really delicious meal. The pasta is so good. I had the lemon ricotta with arugula. I wasn't disappointed. I also drank a nice Pinot noir and enjoyed the garlic bread. My son ordered the but free pesto. He liked it! Thank you for offer nut free- he's allergic and hasn't had a lot of opportunity to try pesto. Didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us. Friday night around 8. We waited several minutes for server to come to the table initially, but after that she was attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the vibe here and definitely will return.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] More items on the menu that look and I'm sure are delicious! Bill was about $100 with tip. Luckily my son and I don't go out to eat too often so this splurge was worth it. read more

Made from scratch, simple Italian food. Not fancy, just good. Location downtown is a real plus. I'm looking forward to returning.

Disappointed. Had reservations for a celebratory dinner. Based on reviews we anticipated a fantastic experience. Arrived on time and here is where my disappointment began: Turned away because our table wasn't ready. It wasn't the wait, but the attitude of the hostess. Like we were an annoyance. Once seated we order wine and apps. Before we even got our apps we were asked for our dinner order. This is not appropriate for a supposed fine dining establishment. Didn't get one of the apps we ordered. Waitstaff didn't come back to check on us, and then a different server dropped off our meals. And that was the last time anyone checked on us. We were blatantly ignored. Had to ask for the check. No acknowledgement of our celebration. Our plates were never cleared. The suggestion of dessert was more of a dare. We declined. I don't intend this review to discourage future diners, but to bring service problems to management. It could have been the lack of waitstaff, or poor reservation management. But I've seen too many restaurants with potential die due to service issues. I'm so sad for our célébrée more than anything. BUT the food was excellent and the choice of Chianti quite good! read more

We came here while visiting Flagstaff before heading to the observatory, so it was an early dinner. Service was quick and professional. My wife tried the beef raviolis in marinara and our waitress recommended the lemon ricotta pasta with arugula, so I tried that. All I can say is Wow! The food was amazing and the pasta was as fresh and delicious as we have had throughout Italy. The raviolis were perfectly al dente, with an amazing fresh marinara. The lemon ricotta was otherworldly, perfectly balancing the creamy with the pasta and the arugula, all with a bright lemon flavor that enhanced the dish. I so recommend you try it. read more

Service was amazing. Food was delicious and authentic. Small cool place and, strange as it may sound, I totally loved the background music! The best cannoli I've ever eaten, by far, and a cannoli martini! read more

This was my groups first time here and we absolutely loved the food. For our appetizer we got fresh bruschetta which was some of the best bruschetta Ive ever had. 2 of us got the Steak Alfredo medium rare and 2 of us got the sausage and mushroom pasta. We also got 2 orders of garlic bread which was so delicious. I absolutely recommend this place and come back here the next time in Flagstaff. read more

Bruschetta board was tasty. Lemon ricotta was tasty but would've been better with a thinner noodle as the sauce is thicker. Creamy Tuscan was a nice light flavor but salmon was a tad overcooked. Mushroom & sausage pasta with a nice red sauce, sausage on the dry end. Overall, would've been nice to have diff options for pasta instead of the thicker one. Meatballs nice and juicy, but could do with citrus. Service was good by Sophia. Ambiance - busy but we were able to be seated quickly indoors on Saturday evening. read more

Updating after a year of coming here! Consistently it's been renovated and improved specifically the ambience and tasteful menu additions. Great servers and vibe! Always my brunch or date night recommendation. Good pasta, sandwiches, salads, brunch, drinks and gelato. Nothing is filler on the menu and I've never regretted trying something new. Overall I keep coming back :) read more

Ever dreamed of visiting Italy? Well no need, head on over to this Italian scratch kitchen. Like the last sentence reads, everything is made by hand. The sauce, the pasta, and the César salad dressing. Best César salad I've had in this country. Come for the food, stay for the outdoor patio. It's peaceful and verdant and located in the heart of downtown. read more

Incredible food. Pasta made in house and you can tell! My husband had the sausage and mushroom pasta and I had the grilled chicken margarita. Both 10/10. Good portion sizes. Super friendly service. Giovanna was warm and wonderful. Nice music/ambiance. We are visiting from Phoenix and would definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

We've been here many times. The food is always dependably good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We like the "local" vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service can be a little wobbly but has been outstanding the last couple of times we've been there. I wish they had a better wine selection, but what they do have is very reasonably priced. read more

Lemon ricotta pasta and Mob Boss sandwich were delicious! My daughter usually eats one or two bites of dessert because she is a health nut, but she took over half of the tiramisu, so I know it's top notch. I wish we found this place sooner. I made reservations for Valentine's to bring the Mrs. back. read more

Bravo tutti! We enjoyed a fresh bruschetta plate, lemon ricotta pasta, meatballs in marinara sauce, and cannolis. All thoughtfully prepared and served with a smile. We really enjoyed the bruschetta - clearly freshly made and artfully presented. The pasta had notes of fresh lemon - though not overwhelmingly so. I loved the authentic cannoli - perfectly balanced and not too sweet. We will be back for sure! read more

Awesome food! Has the lemon ricotta pasta and the Mob sandwich. Delicious. Service was great and ambiance was perfect.

This is a gem located in The historic town center. The pasta is freshly made each day and is cooked as close to my wife's Gandma Basone's old country perfection. The sauces are just incredible with each seasoning mending into a symphony of flavors. read more

So glad we found this spot! my family and I were in town over the weekend doing some lead peeping and stumbled upon this place! We browsed the menu and were immediately intrigued. The wait was about 45 minutes, it is a smaller place with limited tables. would recommend a reservation. The bruschetta board for sure was an honorable mention. A tad high price wise but was very tasty and many different options. I wish they would slice the bread in half or fourths especially when sharing but no fuss. The steak alfredo was tasty. 9/10. Noodles were PERFECT. Alfredo was SO yummy, great flavor. The steak was ok, nothing to rave about but good pairing. Paired my meal with a glass of moscato which was also very good. Wrapped it ip with some tiramisu. HUGE portion. It was good. 7.5/10. And finally the service, unfortunately thats where they lost stars. Definitely the worst part. They were busy, so its understandable but the point of going out to eat is to be waited on and taken care of... It took quite some time for us to get waters and an extra 10 min for her to even ask if we wanted anything else to drink. No one ever checked on us during our meal to see if it was ok and then we had to flag our server down to order dessert AND to get the check. read more

Cafe Stella - The food after we devoured it! Portions SUPER large! - Italian Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

The food here was super good! It was extremely flavorful and delicious. I would recommend making a reservation for dinner time or else the wait can be pretty long, around an hour. We were definitely rushed as the line built up since the restaurant itself is small and they didn't offer or check on us anymore, just felt like they wanted us out about 30 minutes after we ordered. Overall it was a good experience though, just wish they didn't rush us and kept the people waiting away from our table as that was also a problem. read more

Cozy, space right off of Aspen in downtown Flag. Homemade pasta is the bees knees! Yum! I even bought some at the register to take home. My favorite dish is the bolognese! Great vibe overall with friendly service and a broad drink menu. If you're visiting it's a must and for locals a favorite regular go to spot for date nights and dinner with friends! read more

The best pasta in Flagstaff!! I came here with a group of friends, so we ordered a few different pastas and every single one was amazing! The patio atmosphere is so cute and service is great, everyone is so friendly! read more

My wife and I loved our romantic Italian dinner. The ambience was so cool. We loved the music and atmosphere. Started off with a great whisky (amazing pour I might add) and my wife had a nice drink as well. Our server was perfect, she had a super personality and she was from Brazil. The food was so good. We had a yummy Burrata starter and had super delicious homemade pasta dish. Topped it off with some French Vanilla Bean ice cream topped with an espresso shot. I highly recommend Cafe Stella! read more

Incredibly delicious hand-made pasta! We tried the creamy salmon pasta, margarita chicken pasta and spaghetti with meatballs. All 3 were spectacular. read more

Our lunch was amazing!! Loved the homemade pasta, sauces and family recipes. Great spot for authentic Italian food!!

We went here for dinner on Friday. The place wasn't that busy for a Friday evening, even though downtown was super busy. The interior was ok, nothing special. However, the staff was super friendly. They have a pretty limited menu, for me nothing stood out, so I asked the server what she recommended. She rattled off a few items, so I chose one if them; the Tuscan Salmon. It was disappointing, basically a piece of salmon on a bed of pasta. The salmon was good, but the pasta was pretty bland and dry. I wasn't a fan of the homemade pasta, it was too thick for me. I don't think I would go back. read more

My husband and I just happened to find this place on a whim while walking down the street and I am so glad we did! The food was absolutely to die for! They make their own pasta - it was so fresh! I can't speak to much else because we both got pasta dishes. I love the vibe. If you can, sit outside. It feels like you're in a back alley in Italy! They have it set up so cute and they play great Italian music. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance in the back courtyard was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. Pasta salad was heavy, soggy and bland. Salmon sandwich was soggy, salmon patty out of a box, veggies without flavor and soggy. Gelato came in a bowl with the texture as if it had been thawed and frozen. Venice sandwich was plain cheap lunchmeat with a thick slice of mozzarella and soggy vegetables. This restaurant will never make it with the food they prepare. read more
