    Cotolette
    Anthony B.

    I've been trying to find a good Italian restaurant in Dallas for years. Finally, the time has come. Not only is it family owned and operated, but the dishes are as authentic as they get and it reminds me of when I was in Italy; very few places in Dallas give me that memory. The Cotolette is spectacular served table-side, the prosciutto con melone is incredible. Every bite is quality, and the best part is that the food never sits heavy at the end. Gino is fantastic, the service he provided was stunning , I recommend you ask for him on your visit. The ambiance is very relaxing, feels like an upscale NYC speakeasy, but with an ode to Italian tradition. I will only go here for authentic Italian food in Dallas, and you should too.

    First time for lunch. We shared the Gorgonzola salad which was delicious and way too much salad! For lunch, we had the fettuccine tricolore and the La Stella burger with fries. The fettuccine was amazingly delicious and a good size portion for lunch. The burger was smaller, but very filling and a ton of french fries accompanied it. Thought the burger flavor was pretty good just not great.

    Ambiance: The Sophia lounge was beautiful! We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and the live music was a great plus to our dinner celebration. The live music was good, but a tad bit too loud for the half empty room. Service: The service was VERY slow, even on a Sunday evening. I had a reservation at 5:45 PM and we did not leave until 7:30. I did not anticipate a 2 hour dinner. Our server, Carlos, was very friendly. But our waters weren't filled throughout our meal and the food came out excruciatingly slow. Food: We love the original location of La Stella in the heart of Dallas. I felt like the food is better at the original restaurant tbh. The food was still good here, but we weren't blown away like we were with the original. The menu is similar to the original restaurant, but it had more options for steak. Parking: Complimentary valet parking

    Foodie Alert! I was so excited to finally dine here. My friend and I came for Easter dinner. Let's start with the good: the ambiance is beautiful. We sat in the Sophia Music Lounge. However, that wasn't where I initially wanted to sit. I preferred the main dining area so I could enjoy tableside service. But I found out they weren't offering tableside service on Easter, so just a heads-up about that for other holidays. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We had the Stellini for our drink it was delicious!! 10/10. Now for the food, I have to be honest-- I wasn't really impressed. Coming from their other location and being a huge pasta fan, I thought this was going to be amazing, but it was just okay. I enjoyed the Gorgonzola Wedge Salad; it was enough to split between two people. We also had Cannoli Oscar, and it was just okay. I think it might have been better if the meat had been warm. For the main dishes, we ordered the 'Nduja Carbonara and the Cacio E Pepe, and we were not impressed by these dishes either. If anything, the Cacio E Pepe had a little more flavor. However, both pastas were very undercooked, very chewy, and lacked good seasoning. I was very shocked because I've heard so many great things about this place and their pasta, but it didn't meet our expectations. And considering the price, everything should be top-notch. I'm always willing to try again. But I would rate the service 10/10 and the food 5/10.

    Came in for date night & was greeted with champagne while we waited. We didn't get sat immediately, but the champagne made the wait easy. It was about 15 mins. We had Alex as our server and he was phenomenal. They give you bread and a butter type deal, although I didn't fancy it much. My date had the branzino and added the red potatoes which were a great addition. I had the spicy red pasta, the Alessandra. It was great. I didn't enjoy my drink the most (a fort Shirley), but Alex took care of that for me. I saw others getting tableside pasta Alfredo mixed in the huge cheese bowl. Loved the ambiance, and will try their lounge side next time. It had live music. Wonderful night for date night or special occasions. The food is great, service is amazing, and ambiance is top tier.

    Update - March 2026 I came back to La Stella's Italian Steakhouse recently and had to update my review specifically for the lasagna. It is honestly the best lasagna I have ever had at a restaurant. The layers were perfectly balanced; rich meat sauce, creamy cheese, and pasta that was cooked just right. Nothing was overly heavy or dry, which can happen with lasagna. Every bite had that slow-cooked, homemade flavor that you usually only get from someone's Italian grandmother. The portion was generous, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the sauce had a deep, savory flavor that really stood out. It's the kind of dish you keep thinking about after you leave. If you visit La Stella's, the lasagna is absolutely a must-order. I would come back just for that dish alone.

    Get: Prime Rib (roast),lamp chops, wedge salad, mushroom (side), and asparagus (side). Pass on: Branzino and caprese salad. The branzino was fine, but not nearly as good as the prime rib, lamb chops, meatballs, or even the calamari. We celebrated my sister's birthday at La Stella Italian Steakhouse, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The ambiance was stunning, elegant, warm, and perfect for a special occasion. The service was phenomenal; the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. We ordered a range of dishes: the ribeye and lamb chops were all cooked to perfection, and the calamari and carpaccio were great. The salads were crisp and fresh, and the drinks were equally fantastic. Yes, it is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for- top-notch quality all around. I also loved the attached lounge, where we enjoyed live music and a great vibe after dinner. I can't recommend La Stella enough, this is a gem for anyone seeking a memorable Italian steakhouse experience!

    Great service, food, atmosphere, service in the lounge, and live music. Will definitely be back.

    La Stella Italian Steakhouse in Addison is the brand new sister spot to La Stella Cucina Verace, and after one visit I can confidently say they understood the assignment. They have only been open about six weeks, but everything already feels polished and intentional. Atmosphere Absolutely gorgeous. Think chandeliers, velvet seating, and Sophia Loren photos giving classic old Hollywood energy. The restaurant is split into two different vibes. The Sophia Lounge is the bar area with high tops, cozy two tops, and a stage for live bands. The music was great, but if you are planning deep conversation, prepare to raise your voice. Each table had a fresh red rose which was a really nice touch. The main dining room is still upscale but much calmer. You can hear the music without feeling like you are inside the band. There is also a real Italian moped in the middle of the space which is random and fun. Service Top tier. We called because we were running late for our reservation and they happily moved us. We originally booked the Sophia Lounge and thought we would lose that seating, but they still accommodated us when we arrived. Our server, Eslam, was fantastic. He knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and paced the meal perfectly. Attentive without hovering. Cocktails Guilietta 5 out of 5. Light, refreshing, slightly citrusy with rosemary on top. Easy to drink. Godfather 5 out of 5. Disaronno and scotch, simple and made perfectly. After dinner we tried Dolce Notte, basically an espresso martini with vanilla vodka. I do not even like coffee and still thought it was really good. My sister loved it. The Oscar was a pistachio martini and tasted like dessert in a glass. Food Polpette Della Nonna 4.5 out of 5. Great flavor and marinara. Texture was just slightly softer than I prefer, but I still finished them. Caprese Invernale 3.5 out of 5. This is on me. It uses beets instead of tomatoes and I do not like beets. If you do, you will probably enjoy it. Paccheri al Ragu Napoletano 5 out of 5. Short rib and pasta that I could have eaten twice. Perfectly al dente pasta and super tender meat. Agnolotti Pizzicati 5 out of 5. Veal filled pasta with sage brown butter. Rich, balanced, and honestly unforgettable. 8 oz Wagyu Filet 5 out of 5. Melt in your mouth tender and cooked perfectly. The green peppercorn crema was a great finishing touch. Whipped potatoes 5 out of 5. Creamy, cheesy, with bacon mixed in, not too heavy. These disappeared fast. Dessert Torta Della Chef 5 out of 5. A huge 10 layer cake with pistachio and multiple chocolates. When it came to the table my sister literally gasped. It tastes as good as it looks and we definitely took some home. Final thoughts La Stella is perfect for date night or a celebration when you want dinner to feel like an experience. Just pick your seating based on your vibe. Lounge for energy and music, dining room for conversation. Already planning a return visit, mostly for that tableside fettuccine in the cheese wheel because obviously.

    CARPACCIO TEXANO*  CANNOLI OSCAR wagyu beef tenderloin, grana padano, jalapeños, arugula, lemon aioli, parmesan crisps, casa piccinini
    Gina K.

    The restaurant is very spacious and well decorated. Can seat large parties which is always a plus. Started off with Polpette Della Nonna ( wagyu meatballs ) the sauce was amazing, the meatballs seemed to have a lot of breading. The Cannoli Oscar was very good. The cannolis were stuffed with crab, had a nice crispy texture and the sauce was very complementary to the dish. Steak carpaccio was pretty bland and overpriced. Seems like much we had needed seasoning or at the least, salt. The Agnolotti Pizzicati was complicated. I loved the pasta and sauce but the veal tasted like refried beans filling. The Ossicuco Milanese was delicious. The meat was super tender, I didn't care too much for the risotto. Again, the whole dish needed salt. The pistachio cake was below average and had shells from the pistachio which weren't that pleasant to bite into when not expecting it. Server- Christopher- absolutely amazing/ great service Manager- Kyle - very attentive and professional Wine- Heitz Cellar 2018 Napa Cab- oaky, earthy pairs well with beef.

    Had an early dinner reservation and the place was already packed before 6pm. Sat in the lounge which was such a great experience- nice ambiance. They do add an automatic lounge fee of 20%. All the food tasted great. I will definitely be back. This place is a hit for sure. I think they are still within the first month of opening so a few kinks to be worked out would be valet service- the line was wrapped around as we were leaving (people trying to get in and out); and moving dinner service along a tad quicker. We enjoyed our time there for sure so no complaints here, but the lobby was FULL as we were leaving- probably waiting on folks to leave so they could be seated. Make your reservations well in advance because I don't know if they'll have availability for walk-ins.

    I did a bad job with pictures. This is a lovely restaurant with a live band at least on fridays. Ours was a jazzy pianist who sang both new and old songs, and included some Christmas melodies. He was very enjoyable to listen to but definitely hindered conversation so I would recommend seating away from the lounge if you are there for talking or catching up. The u'purp was insane. It was akin to lobster as it was so buttery and smooth. Highly recommend this dish. We all got steaks, and they made my well done perfectly which is a feat in itself. (It's not by preference I know, who wants steak well done?) my boyfriend got the Oscar style added to his, which he liked but I thought was weird as it had a cumin kinda flavor in the sauce? Not my thing. The mushrooms were good but I'm not a big mushroom person and the portion was very large for 3 people in my opinion. The lobster risotto I could probably order as a meal and be satisfied. It was delicious! Overall, I definitely want to go back. I might make some different choices as the server's explanation of the lasagna had me drooling but I knew I would have leftovers and we weren't going home! Haha. I would also say to expect being here for 2-3 hours. We had a reservation at 5:30 and didn't leave until 7 and that was with a rushing of our server at the end and no dessert.

    Drinks were very good and innovative!

    Service was impeccable! Food was good, but not ground breaking! The decor seemed a little dated, but it was still a nice place to visit.
