Eggplant Parmesan
Alan L.

Rounded up to 4 stars The restaurant offers multiple disparate vibes when you enter. The first thing that you see is a pizza/takeout counter (which is fine). At the edge of the dining room was live music (I was there for lunch). There was a gentleman playing electric guitar and a woman singing. The dining room is large and comfortable. The Eggplant Parmesan was disappointing. The Gelato was very good. The service was attentive.

Went there for my friends 60th birthday party when I first heard he wanted to go a pizza place for dinner I was a little surprised but this place is so much more than a pizza place The ambience is very nice and the staff is very friendly We started with the hotsi totsy shrimp And a cesser salad both were very fresh and good. I had the crab linguine and it was Fresh and tasty All 4 of us enjoyed our meal and I will go back

Looking for a quick place to grab lunch. This place is located at the entrance of a shopping center. When you walk in there is a counter where you could pick up pizza and take out orders. We decided to sit down in their spacious restaurant. The decor is casual and comfortable. Service was good and quick. I ordered the salmon which was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. There's plenty of parking.

Stella is a great addition to the area! Been there a few times now to eat and have done take out as well. The quality of the food is really great. Everything is fresh, everything has good flavor, everything is delicious. Take out was even so good too. The inside is warm and welcoming and staff have always been kind and helpful. They have outdoor seating too. Every time we go it's a good meal!

Sandwich.

Stella is an authentic Italian BYOB eatery in the heart of East Hanover, NJ that has amazing food. I have visited this establishment for lunch and dinner since its inauguration. I recommend the French Cut Veal Parmigiana which is tender, well seasoned, and yet not too gamy. It has just an amazing taste. If I had to rate this dish 1 out of 10 this dish would be easily a 10. Many desserts are freshly made in the restaurant like the Cannoli with pistachios and orange zest. It is one of the best desserts in the menu and probably one of the best cannoli in East Hanover, New Jersey. In terms of appetizers I recommend their classic calamari and the clam dish. They are second to none in freshness and taste. All the sandwiches I have tried at Stella are superb and taste delicious. They offer an amazing Italian espresso which is creamy, has bold flavors, and it is excellent after meals. Service at Stella is friendly. You are always quickly seated and welcomed with fresh cold house water and has several options for Italian mineral waters or sodas. They also sell bottled root beer. Crunch warm focaccia bread is served upon request with olive oil (traditionally Italian) or butter upon request. The servers are able to accommodate many dishes. Stella's ambiance is great since the plate is well lit during nights, offers indoor and outdoor seating during Summer and Fall, and offers good AC or heating. The indoor restaurant is spacious and the tables have enough room between them so you feel not only more private, but also this gives mobility to servers and customers. The place is absolutely clean and they take good care of the silverware. Finally, Stella has a side entrance where they cook the most amazing pizzas in East Hanover to stay or to go and they are always selling so their pizza is always freshly made. I have tried many of their pizzas and their dough, sauces, toppings, and flavors are to die for. The only cons of Stella are: no liquor sold (you need to bring your own wine or beer) and, although the place is spacious inside, it has limited parking spots. I normally park behind the restaurant if the best parking spots are already taken and normally they are because Stella attracts many customers which is a good sign of how well they are doing.

Fab restaurant alert......this is delightful. Just happened to be driving by and then looked Stella up online. Menu looked delish so we booked a reservation. Darling place in Roseland. They have outdoor seating which was a lifesaver, as I recently had foot surgery and need extra room to sit. (Knee Scooter in tow). BYOB is always a good thing. Food was delicious and served pretty quickly after being seated. Service and management were all lovely and very accommodating to me in my temporary handicap moment. Prices are good for the amount of food you get. Go check this place out, can't say enough good things about Stella!

Visually the restaurant is great. Very cute decor and a comfortable layout. We went for lunch on a Saturday and they were very quiet. Food is reasonably good. I personally felt the chips were horribly under seasoned and the sauce on the steak sandwich was just too sweet. But otherwise it looked and tasted good. Service has a lot to learn. We were not offered water when we were seated and my soda cup sat empty for quite a long time. Lots of staff walking around so it would have been nice if someone noticed.

Food was okay, service okay. Nothing outstanding. Host was a bit rude, or just full of attitude! Not rushing back here.

Is this restaurant a byo?

Yes ma'am!

Many of the menu items seem like a holdover from the restaurant that was previously at this location, Rezza. Is Stella run by the same owner as Rezza?

Thanks

My go-to is the make your own salad with chunks of turkey. They don't skimp on the protein or your choice of veggies and the salad is huge!

Even so, being in the area, seeking a high protein meal, I stop in to the Millburn Deli. The establishment seems set for efficiency from the door, even with a quick seemingly (random assortment) ready-to-go refrigerator, for a quick passerby perhaps, like I become when the order I seek to buy is already in the fridge area (at the register). The establishment offers a variety of seating options. This is my first time eating a cold Sloppy Joe sandwich though not my first time eating a cold Roast Beef sandwich. The cole slaw is somewhat tasty, though the mayonnaise-y-ness is not preferable, to me, especially considering sweeter bits are present without the mayonnaise-y-ness. The cheese (Provolone-ish) adds a consistent pleasant flavor in the current mix of cold sloppiness. I prefer Roast Beef with lettuce, tomatoes, purplish-skin onions, Swiss Cheese, horse radish, pepper, oil, vinegar, and on firm wheat bread/a good firm exterior though softer chewy interior wheat-like roll. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

This is a unique 5 star restaurant that is worthy of a visit by Guy Fieri if he is still doing road trips for "Diners , Drive Ins and Dives". All I can say is you have to try them. It's worth the drive! They put a different spin on everything they serve. When you walk in, you may think it's a local deli that you go for a take out breakfast or lunch. Then you see the tables and all the customers sitting there. They have everything you could want from coffee, teas, juices, smoothies, sandwiches paninis, poke bowls, pancakes, waffles, breakfast and lunch dishes. You can tell that they have a ton of regular customers, that are very loyal. They also do catering, and even though I live in Brooklyn, they are willing to deliver to me. Today I met some amazing people at the restaurant. Congratulations to Carlos who is a new manager. He is a US Army Veteran who saw combat action and I hope everyone will thank him for his service when they visit. Carlos really cares about his customers. When we entered we were greeted, he started up a conversation and checked in on us throughout our meal. Victor was our server and he made great recommendations. He was also very friendly, we also met Melvin who was a runner and made sure the food came out promptly with all the accoutrements. Today we started with the blueberry pancakes. You get two large pancakes that are as big as the dish. They had blueberries inside and outside, whipped cream and maple syrup. Probably the best I've ever had! I had the apple, lemon, ginger juice which hit the spot. We also had the tuna poke bowl and the shrimp fajita bowl. The ingredients and fish were fresh and plentiful. I was stuffed by the time we left. I would highly recommend Seymour's Cafe if you want to experience phenomenal food and customer service.
