Amazing food and service. We had a wonderful experience as first time patrons while on a weekend getaway after Thanksgiving. Will definitely be back!! read more

The food was great and the service was quick. The Kobe Burgers and St. Anthony Calamari were delicious. The Fig and Prosciutto Flatbread and the Mediterranean Plate were okay...the prosciutto was just bacon bits and the plate was just chopped up veggies, nothing interesting. They were still good, but I was hoping for something with more effort put into it. read more

Dinner last night. We just felt like a light dinner so made plans to meet some friends here. It was our first time. Walked in and everyone was there and we all had a cocktail, service and drinks were good. Then the fun started! Wings, dumplings and lobster Mac m cheese! Very good , dumplings should be steamed. They fried in error but I heard no complaints! Lobster taco was okay, maybe too much slaw , more lobster lobster Mac n cheese was good. We also have chocolate lava cake for dessert along with a chocolate martini. We will be back! read more

I love coming to Stella Blu when I'm taking myself out for the night. It's got an inviting ambiance and a nice bar. The drinks are usually pretty good and change with the season. The food is always really good, but the portions are not necessarily made for sharing since they're pretty small. The bartenders are nice, but not always super attentive. That's fine because I'm pretty low maintenance, it's just something to consider. read more

I hadn't been here in years and we went at 5pm on a Friday. Great service and food. We had spinach dip, a steak, a beet salad, bananas foster. All were great. It was starting to get busy around 530. They take reservations on open table. We are not big drinkers but everyone at the bar had nice looking cocktails. Not too noisy but had a few TVs with games on. Will be back soon! read more

Excellent food and service. Celebrated my wife's birthday and given we are vegetarians the menu had many options to accommodate our wants. Good drink selections, also. Be sure to get the donuts for dessert! read more

We went on a fairly quiet Sunday night, the place was almost empty which was perfectly fine for us as we dined and watched the ncaa game on the bar side. The food and service was very good and they also had some great wine on their wine list. Stella has an interesting eclectic drink menu which is a plus if you value that. We had the ravioli and MB, it was very tasty and was anything but ordinary as the dish may suggest. It was just as good as some of the North End italian places I've been. The Kobe Beef sliders are an absolute must, truly awesome. The salads also are well done. Tapas portions are nicely sized. All in all a cool little place and we'll return again for sure for the live music on a more happening night. Date of visit: March 26, 2017 read more

Wonderful place for a drink and a couple of small plates! Atmosphere is very upscale, the staff is extremely friendly, and the food is dynamite! I always prefer to spend my time, and my money locally, as the service and food is almost always better than a chain of any kind, and this was no exception. Tried the french dip slider and small order of lobster mac & cheese, and was blown away. Great experience...will definitely be back! read more

Fun, trendy menu and lots of food. The pulled pork was really good. The portions were good and the service was great. The fresh donuts are worth saving room for... this was a great quiet environment for a Sunday dinner. Everyone enjoyed the meal and all agreed we must go back. read more

We went to dinner the night of the Christmas Stroll - it had been quite some time since we had been in and we were glad to see that there were bar seats even though many of the restaurants downtown were very crowded. Everything was great - service, beer choices, martinis. My issue was with one of the dishes we ordered, seared scallops. When they arrived they had a bad smell, so bad that I overheard the couple next to us discussing the smell. Needless to say we sent them back - this too went fine until one of the owners paid us a visit. He started out letting us know that we would not have to pay for the scallops (what we had expected) However he went on to insist that they were perfectly fine and that he and the chef ate my dish! - rather than apologizing and moving on basically refuting my complaint. It should be noted that I rarely send back anything - I just couldn't stand the smell. Will be quite some time before we return.... read more

Going here for our valentines dinner was a mistake! We got there promptly at 9 for our reservation and waited at the hostess table for a few minutes for the hostess to even come over and greet us. Once we got her attention she told us that our table was not ready and we should wait at the bar. Once we sat at the bar we had to wait at least another 5 mins for someone to come over and take our drink order. The staff didn't look all that busy, just floundering around. After waiting at the bar for 30mins we asked the hostess when we would be seated and she proceeded to tell us that she had forgotten about us. (she did apologize and give us a coupon for next time we came in) Once we got to the table we had to wait (again) a long time for the waitress to even come over. Once we ordered our first round of tapas it did come out fairly quickly. We ordered the stella salad and the wedge salad. Both were good, not great. We then waited at least 20 after finishing our food before our waitress came to ask how it was or check on us. Finally after she came back we ordered the sliders and the short rib. The short rib was extremely dry and the root vegetable puree had no seasoning and tasted like baby food. It was so unimpressive the two of us didn't finish the one rib. The sliders were decent however they were ordered medium rare and served well done. Our final course was the chicken empenadas (good not great) and the donuts (actually really good, except the chocolate dipping sauce was cold hershey syrup). When we finally got the bill it was incorrect and we had to wait another absurdly long period for the waitress to come run the card. All in all it was a waste of time and money. read more

This place appears to be a foodie haven due to the menu. However, the food lacks a proper presentation unless you think putting a lonely, purple orchid constitutes style and grace. We ordered the cheese plate which arrived on a plate way too large. There were only 3 triangles of cheese per type of cheese sans the solo fried goat cheese the size of a large marshmallow. The hard cheeses was like from the grocery deli. The fig jam was decent. We also got the chicken alfredo w pineapple. The choice of herbs in it DID NOT MARRY with the pineapple....plus very bland. Also ordered was the duck rolled pancakes....not bad but not flavorful either. I dont know why people pack this place. Service was good though. read more

Came here with a group tonight. Saw Tapas on the sign and thought "hell no!" Sriracha Ginger wings are phenomenal. Black Beards Revenge was excellent. All of our food was just unbelievably awesome and flavorful. read more

I love Stella Blu! Great drinks, tapas and service. Sometimes it gets packed so it is hard to talk with your party which is the only downfall due to the small space. I particularly love their beet salad, pulled pork sliders, hanger steak and their specials they have! The first time I went there years ago, I was able to get alligator bites which were delicious! Overall, martinis (particularly the pear martini) are so smooth, you can drink 1 or 2 and not realize you are having such a strong martini! We have been going here for years now and hope they continue to expand their drink and menu selection. If you are going with 4+ people, make sure you have reservations on weekend nights and plan to spend a little more than you normally would in this area. However, you will leave extremely satisfied by the food/drinks you selected! read more

What a shame. This restaurant was one of my favorites, but recently changed hands. Service is poor, food quality has gone down. Don't order the prosciutto and fig flat pizza... the prosciutto looks like and tastes like beef jerky. The crust seems like frozen pizza quality. A disgrace. The pumpkin ravioli was hard. Drinks are good. Food is tolerable. read more

Stella Blu had been a favorite restaurant for my wife and I to celebrate special occasions. A few year ago they changed their tapas-only menu to include several entrees and we left greatly disappointed - some of our favorite tapas were no longer on the menu, and the entrees were not unique. Hence Stella Blu fell off our list. We decided to return last weekend after reading some good reviews and were glad that we did! The tapas menu was expanded (although not as great as it once was) and we ordered many different dishes and they were all excellent! We forgot how good the fresh baked donuts were for dessert! The music on weekends is acoustic-based and serves as a great background while dining or if you are just enjoying some drinks. Speaking of, Stella Blu's bartenders concoct amazing drinks with good attention to the details. Highly recommended! read more

I took mom here for her birthday, based on reviews for restaurants in Nashua, and my fellow yelpers did not fail me. I can't vouch for how other tapas restaurants operate, since they aren't as common or I usually associate them with serving Spanish (Spainiard) food, but Stella Blu serves "tapas" from around the world. I guess there's a little something for everyone. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and made some great recommendations - super friendly, too! Now by a little something, I do mean little in size, too. Granted that they are tapas and not dishes, but be prepared to pay $8-12 per tapa and to order 2-4 tapas per person to have enough food for a proper meal. Those tapas do add up! Normally, I'd be upset about spending this much on such tiny dishes, but you get what you pay for. We ordered a variety of Asian- and Italian-inspired tapas; execution-wise, the tapas we had weren't true to the nations of origin, but they tasted so good regardless! I think I was surprised at how flavorful everything was. It was one of those meals where there wasn't a whole lot of talking but a lot of savoring. I booked a reservation online and left a note for the maitre'd saying this was for a birthday celebration. At the end of the night, the manager came to our table and asked for our thoughts. He let us know that desserts were on the house, in honor of mom! I was so pleased with the whole experience, and it made for a wonderful night. read more

I came in to Stella Blu with low expectations but was wonderfully surprised by the food and service. If you don't already know, Stella Blu is a tapas restaurant that serves tapas from different cuisines: Spanish, American, Asian, Italian, "Farmer's Market" (vegetarian), "Corner Bakery" (desserts). The staff is very friendly, so ask them for advice or their favorite dishes if you don't know what to order. Here is what I have tried: - Lobster Mac n' Cheese Spring Roll: avoid this. I know you might be curious, so let me spoil the surprise: you get very thin egg-rolls filled with lobster and a cheese dipping sauce. It was bland and not worth the price. I spoke with the waitress about this tapa and she said they have taken it off and on the menu a few times. I told her I voted for off. - Pulled Pork: you MUST order this. I was skeptical since I don't go to nice restaurants expecting a good pulled pork sandwich, but I was blown away by this dish. This is my favorite tapa so far at Stella Blu and the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had. Please order this so you can share my excitement. - Paella: don't bother. The seafood tasted overcooked and the rice wasn't special. It is difficult to find decent paella. - Shrimp & Grits: delicious. Another must on your list. The flavor isn't for everyone and it is a bit spicy, so don't say I didn't warn you. Girlfriend and I both loved this dish and it was a favorite for a couple of the waiters. - Fish Tacos: very, very yummy. Unlike some other restaurants in the area, these fish tacos taste fresh and delicious. No hard-shell taco encased with cheese here. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other tapas (I'll update the review when I do). When you visit (because I know you will for that amazing pulled pork tapa), keep in mind that they often have live music playing near the entrance, which can get very loud. So if you aren't the live-music type of person, request a seat in the back or make sure they don't have a band that night. read more

Ummm...Tapas. A foodies delite. A little bit of this ...a little bit of that. Stella Blu does it right and the vibe is great. It is trendy, upscale without being pompous. I have tried them for dinner to catch up with old friends, popped in for just dessert and a snack before a show. Been pleased with the food, the drinks AND the WAIT STAFF was incredible. Staff is very positive and energetic...gives just the right atmosphere to the place. Highly recommend this. read more

I took my Sales team here for a team dinner and the place was great. Food was outstanding. The tapas concept and variety that Stella Blu offers makes for a very flavorful experience. Wait staff was very nice and attentive. Atmosphere was outstanding as well. I'll definitely be going back. read more

This was my first experience at a "tapas" restaurant and I'd have to say that it was a good one. I went with my husband, we had made a reservation for 5 and because there was a private party until 5 we were the only ones there for a while. So that being said, although the service was excellent, there was also no one else to serve until we were leaving. Wine prices were expensive. They had a local wine available if you wanted to buy a bottle it was 3x the price you buy it at the vineyard. Glass was on the expensive side as well but better priced it seemed. I just had a glass of pinot grigio. Husband just had draft beer. What we ordered: Bread&chorizo - We ordered the small and I'd say it was perfect for 2 people. The chorizo was of the spanish style and not too spicy. The bread in it was the perfect cross between crunchy and cooked. Onions were not cooked enough for my liking. Overall, good. Arancini (3) - Fried risotto balls stuffed with cheese and prosciutto served over their house marinara. This was okay. It was kind of bland so you really needed the sauce. Albondigas (4) - Supposedly a spanish style meatball in a picante tomato sauce. This was a tad spicy but a good amount. The meatball itself was good. Pulled Pork (3) - Served on jalapeño cheddar cornbread with chipotle mayo and a fennel slaw. First, the mayo is a tiny drip on each which is a shame, I wish it came on the side because it was good. Same for the "slaw" it consisted of a small silver on each one. The pork and cornbread itself was good. BBQ sauce used was really sweet so it may not be for everyone. My husband actually said it was so sweet it was like having a dessert if that puts it into perspective. Looked at dessert menu but nothing really warranted trying. Overall, we liked the restaurant and the food, definitely some other things we wanted to try so we'll probably go back again. However, I don't think it was as great as some people have reviewed it to be. read more

Really, really good! Casual ambience, and fabulous food, good service. We enjoyed some small plates and then a few dinner plates. Spinach artichoke dip was a little unusual (in a good way) - light, and instead of a thick heavy cheese, had light stringy cheese. Also enjoyed the Kobe sliders, calamari, Stella fries, carbonara (enough for two meals), chicken Marsala, short rib ravioli (with short ribs both inside and outside the raviolis). And oh, the yummy cocktails! I enjoyed the drink called Strawberry Fields with strawberry purée and prosecco, and my daughter enjoyed the apple cider Bellini. For 6 people, including drinks and a 20% tip, the bill was $280. Live music after 9 on the weekend. read more

Came here on a Saturday night, made reservations through open table, easy! The place was exactly what we were looking for, casual enough for jeans but upscale enough for a great meal and atmosphere. The bar was huge, wrapped around the entire place. I love how the seated tables also wraps around the bar, so it makes it slightly more casual feeling like you're still sitting near the bar and not in a separate upscale dining room. We sat at a high-top table, and had lots of space. The menu was fantastic, so many options I wanted them all! We ended up choosing: 1) Hummus, delicious and with crispy pita chips, 2) Stella salad, was my favorite dish of the night! Spinach leaves, candied walnuts, cranberries, Gorgonzola, sweet potato, balsamic. Amazing!!! 3) Lobster Mac-n-cheese, small portion dish but very delicious, really cheesy and huge chunks of lobster meat. Also some crispy bread crumbs to top it off. 4) scallops, this was my least favorite dish, the blackened seasoning was a tad too spicy for me, and the sauce was kind of heavy. But my boyfriend loved them, and said it was his favorite dish. They were huge, tender, and cooked perfectly, just not my style. We didn't have any dessert although the choices looked delish. My grapefruit martini was pretty good, they also have specialty cocktails and some rotating beer selections. Overall I really enjoyed this place! Perfect to grab several small plates and taste a bunch of different stuff. Highly recommended! read more

Nice drinks with solid pours. Classy atmosphere. Somewhat limited food menu, but the sliders and fries were great. Very friendly staff. It's down the alley behind the Italian restaurant on the corner on Main St. Sometimes have live music, other times no music at all. Lights dim later in the evening, but pretty bright for early dinners. Ugly first dates beware! (Or plan accordingly) :) read more

Went here for the first time last night, and it was sooo good. I was very impressed. My friend and I sat the at bar and laughed and talked and ordered a couple of drinks. Both of which were really tasty, I was hungry and ordered the crab dip, which was really yummy. Will definitely be ordering that again! The bar tender was really nice, and attentive, and left us alone for awhile even after she gave us our tabs. For a Wednesday night it was pretty quiet which was also great because after having a rough day, it was nice to sit back and relax. I will definitely be going back and look forward to making this one of my go to places! read more

Yummy drink specials and appetizers as well.... The servers are pleasant and attentive each time we've sat at the bar....

Great food. Cute atmosphere. Lil pricy. Wait staff is mostly good. Forgot an order and didn't apologize for the lapse when asked about it...blamed the kitchen when we really saw them enter it right after asking. Not a deal-breaker - just a star-taker...mistakes happen! Deflection isn't professionalism tho... read more

This place has unique drinks and great food. The place is chic and the tapas style food was amazing. I ordered the key lime pie martini and wasn't impressed however the graham cracker rim was delicious. Loved this tiny gem in the city of Nashua. read more

I came here very early for dinner one night, I think they just opened at 5 and we got there at 5:30. There was only one other table that was seated. We sat at the bar. There were three employees all huddled at the end of the bar chatting away, we weren't greeted we just sat down got looked at and they continued to talk. We sat there probably for 7 min before one of the bartenders was making her way over still taking. My husband and I each ordered a specialty drink which were both pretty good. Then we ordered some tapas; artichoke dip, I think it sat out for awhile before they brought it to us, because the cheese on top was hard and it was just one giant piece of cheese. Teriyaki Wings, these were pretty tasty, we liked these, braised beef, wasn't too bad, the vegetable puree was good that it sat on. Sliders, these were good too. We ordered a lot because it is a tapas place. Overall the food and drinks were good. The service at the bar was kinda eh. It got better, but it was a bad first impression. I have been here a few times, but always sat a table with friends and the service was pretty good at the tables. read more

Great cocktails and small plates. The food menu isn't too extensive so what they do offer, they do well. Creative drink menu and a nice selection of beer. The bar is nice & long and sometimes there's live music. It's great for a date or a gathering with friends. The small plates are large enough to share and feel satisfied. If looking for a full meal it's best to visit a nearby restaurant but consider starting here or ending here with a desert cocktail & their doughnuts with chocolate dipping sauce. read more

My girlfriend and I went by after finding them on Find Me Gluten free. Made a reservation for 9:30, got there on time. We were seated promptly. There was a gentleman there playing acoustic and singing, very talented. Played a wide array of covers pretty flawlessly. This isn't just a Tapas "martini bar", as was suggested online. They have a few mainstay drafts, some select craft bombers, bottle specials and a full bar. I had a few gin and tonics and my girlfriend had the Espresso Mexitin which was incredible and the espresso martini (probably the best we've ever had), we ordered the brussel sprouts and imported linguica, the pulled pork (served on a toasted half bun) and the crab dip with crostinis. It was all very fast and delicious. The brussel sprouts were so good, roasted and salted...for 5 bucks. So good we ordered more after and then a few more drinks. Service was good, fast, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was great, the music was great. The place is beautiful and it seems to get pretty busy at the bar later in the night around 11 too. So it's good for any type of night you'd like to have, it seems. 70 bucks for the amount of food we ordered and the amount of drinks, especially, was a pretty decent price for a night out in a nice restaurant! read more

Awesome Tapas menu. The arancini was the best I've had since Rome, and the short ribs were awesome. Service was teriffic, and our server Dan was both fun and helpful. I'd also recommend the empanadas, the cheese plate and the fish tacos. A great change from the normal, allowing you to try lots of little plates. I was impressed that they knew what a Dark and Stormy was (and actually had Goslings rum!) I'll be back read more

Awesome drinks and fantastic tapas!! We got the Scallops over creamed cauliflower, Wagu beef sliders, Lobster Mac & cheese, Chicken dumplings and Calamari. Every dish was phenomenal. The portions are perfect for two to share. Highly recommend (and great first date choice, also! ) read more

Were out for an anniversary dinner with my wife and this was the perfect spot for us because we have lighter appetites. Great atmosphere, well lit but still cozy. Interesting cocktails and bar. For food we ordered the Arancini, Tuna Tartar on Fried Wonton, Shrimp & Grits, Lobster Taco, Fried Pot Stickers and then for desert ended with the Donuts with Chocolate Dipping Sauce. The Lobster Taco and Tuna Tartar were the evenings winners for us, Pot Stickers were very tasty too. Could have done something other than the Arancini and Shrimp and Grits though. One was too bland other too spicy. Great waitress and even a stop by from the new owner to see how all was. Nice evening dinner out. One final word - SPOTLESSLY clean bathrooms!! read more

Really enjoyed Stella Blu. Having cocktails and tappas is a nice change for us rural NH folks. The service was friendly and present but not overbearing. The food was delicious. I agree with other reviewers that the price to size ratio of cocktails is a little off. If they want to serve drinks in cute little glasses to keep the theme going then they should lower the price. I thought the portion sizing of the food was perfect. We ordered 4 dishes for 2 of us and we each had plenty and were full but not bloated by the end of the meal. Be wary of sitting near the front of the restaurant on cold February nights though. When the door opens the breeze comes roaring in. read more

Great dining experience. We went last minute when we found ourselves unexpectedly spending the night in Nashua. We were under dressed, w/o a res, and with a child under 10. The sat us near the front of the house w/o a blink. The tapas were all yummy, running between $6-12 per small plate. Highlights included the lobster mac & cheese, the risotto balls w/ pancetta, and the pulled pork. Did I mention they had Stella and Guinness on tap? The one it we could have passed on was the Stella fries, soggy waffle fries clogged with cheese. I don't often pass through Nashua. But unless you hate tapas, this place is a hit. read more

Stopped in on a Friday night. I was with a party of 3 and we had no trouble getting a seat at the bar. Bar did fill up shortly after we arrived. Bartenders made the night. The two female bartenders were on top of everything. They made sure that my glass was never empty and were always checking in on my party. Food was good. My wife liked the smaller portions. I had to order a few different tapas to get a full meal, but it was good to try different things on the menu. I watched the bartenders whip up many concoctions throughout the evening and were not shy with explaining the drinks to me. Many looked very yummy. As we were leaving, live entertainment started. Definitely a good place to take a date on. Plenty of seating at the bar and I'd recommend sitting there. read more

Went here with my boyfriend last night and I have to say this was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time.

I would recommend this place coz my first experience with my niece on our date night was majorly satisfying .. what can I say.. place, food, price$, waiter on point but next visit I will surely enjoy the Bar Side.
