We had not been to this location in years as our family likes to support local businesses.
We frequent the first location, just called La Stella downtown in our city. We did not know that it had been sold and there was a new owner to this pizzeria location and you can definitely tell.
It is pricey it is small four tables maybe but we thought we would entertain environment. We found out only upon leaving that we started by being served by the manager, and when we did not know where they went, we were then greeted by someone who became our server and we ordered three appetizers a bottle of wine and dessert $140 bill before we ordered the dessert and while we still had half a bottle of wine on the table, my husband decided to switch to beer after two beer he was told we were cut off unless we were calling a cab.
So needless to say, we boxed up our dessert, asked for the bill and left the remainder of the wine, having family in the restaurant Industry we are aware of serving it right and liquor regulations , it was disheartening how the entire situation arose, and when I got the bill, I asked our server who decided to cut off my husband. We hadn't even finished the bottle of wine. She pointed to the manager Abby who turned red and walked away. So again disheartening when you want to support local businesses for the price of the food the size of the restaurant we were kind of hoping for a better guest experience our family is large and we all eat out often and we've never experienced this kind of lack of communication and I guess judgment, so we will stick with the downtown location which we recommend as far as being quaint, the staff are amazing. That's where we'll go back. read more
