We met friends at Stellini Trattoria for dinner, and I absolutely loved the entire experience. From the food to the service, there was so much attention to detail throughout the evening. We shared several appetizers, including the mussels and a prosciutto flatbread, and everything was beautifully presented. For my entrée, I had the rigatoni with filet mignon and mushrooms. The pasta was excellent, and the combination of tender filet, mushrooms, and the rich sauce made this a dish I would happily order again. One of my favorite surprises of the evening wasn't even on the menu. I asked for a mocktail, and they created something special for me with ginger beer, dragon fruit, Luxardo cherries, and a few other ingredients. It was delicious, beautifully presented, and such a thoughtful touch. I really appreciated being given the same care and creativity that goes into a cocktail. We finished by sharing cannoli and zeppoli -- an assortment of plain, cinnamon, and confectioners-sugar-dusted pastries served with Chantilly cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and raspberry coulis. I apparently enjoyed dessert enough that I completely forgot to take a picture! Everything was delicious, but that raspberry coulis was excellent. What really stood out was the hospitality. The service was attentive and personal, and we never felt rushed. It was simply a wonderful evening with friends, great food, and the kind of thoughtful service that makes a meal feel like an experience. Stellini is absolutely going on my list for future visits to Grapevine. read more

The food was average, and the portions were small. The garlic bread was basically a burnt piece of baguette with no garlic, butter, or cheese. I didn't like the lobster ravioli and worried I might have COVID since I couldn't taste anything. The service was underwhelming, and the host was rude and condescending, which I wasn't expecting when I walked in with a reservation. The ambiance was set up for a specific group of people, if you know what I mean. Just wasn't welcoming or warm in any way. read more

Well, here we are, waiting for our Zepalini Desert We have been here many many times and usually love this place. Give it five stars but tonight however. The bartender is giving shots to two blondes. Really can't blame him. However, While taking too many shots himself. meanwhile back towards the kitchen area. We watch and wait........... read more

Solid 4.5 star Italian restaurant. Good drinks including espresso martini and a dirty martini on the rocks. Service was prompt and efficient with the server checking on us consistently. Foccaccia was excellent; the olive oil just tasted fresh and the bread was light and airy! Meatballs were okay, I'm just not a big fan of them and some other people got it so I tasted it. Lobster ravioli was excellent. It was in a green sauce and it was tangy and portion size was decent at 6 large pieces. Some Italian restaurants skimp on the portions but this seemed legitimate. Dessert menu was stacked. The table was debating between the lemoncello cheesecake and lemoncello creme brulee. We went cheesecake route. Felt like the portion was large enough for 4 people to split it. Everyone had 3 or 4 bites. I don't think I'd get it for only 2 people tho, it was quite large. It had a lemony essence to it and some sort of spice that made us keep coming back for more. Get the caramel sauce on the side as the cheesecake doesn't need it. Great ending to the meal. Will be back! read more

Stellini Trattoria - Italian Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

This was our second time visiting Stellini Trattoria and we really enjoyed our meal. It was 2 days before Christmas, so Grapevine was super packed, but the restaurant staff did a fantastic job of keeping a good seating rhythm so that the kitchen and servers didn't get too overwhelmed. We showed up about 30 minutes ahead of our reservation, so we had a drink at the bar (I ordered the martini - it was great). They seated us less than 10 minutes after we arrived. We ordered arancini and the house salad and split both and then for our meals, I ordered the barolo shrimp pasta and my husband got the cacio e pepe. Both dishes were fantastic. My pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was velvety and full of flavor. The shrimp was also cooked perfectly. The arancini were also delicious. Only minor suggestion would be to include a little more marinara or some type of sauce to dip the arancini in but it was still really good. Our server was very good and the restaurant itself has a cozy vibe without your table being on top of the one next to you. Side note: the bar is huge and probably seats about 20 people. It seemed like a good percentage of the people at the bar maybe live in the neighborhood which is cool. We'll definitely be back! read more

Found this place on Instagram and wanted to try it out. They have a very big wine menu and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was very nice and helped us decide on drinks and wine. The vibe was cool, with booths, tables, and seats at the bar. The lasagna was pretty good, but the focaccia was unbelievable. Would eat about 7 order if i could. The only negative was that it was kinda pricey, but you get what you pay for. read more

We had a reservation and when we arrived we were seated at a bar top with 4 other people already at the table that we didn't know. There was a cancellation and they eventually moved us to a normal table. Our server Alexis was fantastic! The 7 layer lasagna was ok but the sauce was bland. The lobster risotto was amazing but it did have a lot of chunks of onion. The muscles app was outstanding and had a great buttery sauce. read more

Unbelievable experience here. We were turned away and denied service just because we had our baby in a stroller car seat. Management refused to move us to another section, even though the restaurant was completely empty. It's no surprise they were empty if this is how they treat paying customers. Definitely skip this place when dining in Grapevine. read more

We went for an early dinner. Loved our waitress, she was so knowledgable and enthusiastic about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on. Started with the zucchini chips and flatbread. The latter was just a bit too sweet for my taste but the burrata helped balance it. For drinks, I wanted to get a hot toddy and it wasn't on the menu but the bartender still made it for me which was awesome. I took my entree to go and the branzino was amazing! Seasoned really well and love that the skin was intact. Will definitely be back! read more

It was our first time here and I made the right choice to celebrate my double nickel birthday at this place. Food was great! Service was outstanding! Lauren, our server, was amazing! Blake, the manager, was exceptional. We had the separate room to us so ambiance was pleasant. We highly recommend this place and we will definitely come back. read more

My husband brought me here for valentine's day so there was a set menu. To start we had the coppa carpaccio and the prawn tempura. The carpaccio was just as expected and delicious the prawn was deep fried in breadcrumbs but on biting into it the shell was still on it not just the head and tail the whole she'll, it tasted awful. We both got barolo lobster and prime rib pasta which was good but didn't blow me away, the lobster was the best part. For dessert we ordered the Panna Cotta and the chocolate lava cake both were fantastic. When we arrive they sat us and gave us a glass of champagne which was a nice touch. Our server was friendly and efficient. We also both ordered a cocktail my husband had the old fashioned which he loved and I had something from a seasonal menu with prosecco and it was like a french 75 very good. The ambience was nice, it was clean and we were sat in a corner by the window. I just wasn't wowed by it hence 4 stars. I would consider going back and trying the food again if in grapevjbe. read more

So firstly the waitress Alexis was amazing, she was absolutely great. The food was fantastic, fresh and flavorful. But the pièce de résistance was Blake the floor manager went out of the restaurant to get a beer that they had run out of This restaurant has amazing food cooked by a chef from Italy. A great atmosphere, great service . It has it all. 5 Stars is not enough it deserves 100 Will definitely be back again and again.And finally you have to try the housemade shots a perfect way to end the evening. read more

We had a great evening. Charming space with great service. Hubby really loved the meatballs. The Flatbread was good but would have preferred the prosciutto to but cut up a bit more. Got messy and pulled all the pieces off around it. I had the lasagna and the pesto was a nice touch. A tad messier than the picture online and maybe too much sauce but really enjoyed the flavor. His was the cacio e pepe with shrimp added. Sooooo good. Loved it. We will be back. Good experience. Good food. Good service. read more

We decided to give it a try for dinner. The location was good. Parking was questionable. You feel like you are taking a risk being towed because restaurant parking is not designated. The inside was nice, but very loud. A little too upscale for my taste in Italian restaurants. We were seated quickly. The server Lauren was ehhh at best, she knew little to nothing about wines. She didn't seem very knowledgeable overall and wasn't very out going. Drinks were ok. The Old Fashioned is nothing to write home about, I'd recommend skipping it. My wife did enjoy her wine. We ordered the meatballs to start with, definitely skip those. They were bland, lacking flavor, and not worth it. I ordered the Lobster Risotto. For $58 it was a VERY small plate with risotto that was not cooked very well, there were several bites that were hard (as in not cooked or burned). The sauce was also lacking a full body flavor I would have expected. To top it off, there were four small pieces of lobster in the entire dish. A Disappointing dish! The server offered us black pepper and Parmesan but never brought it. My wife said the filet and gnocchi was good, she enjoyed it. For dessert we tried the Crown Royal Cheesecake. It was absolutely ATROCIOUS! We each took one small bite and let it sit on the table. Overall I was not impressed. Very over priced for what they offer. I expected better. read more

Really good Italian food, I like the fettuccine. They also have really good appetizers. The restaurant atmosphere is great, but it's a little difficult to walk around and get into entrance read more

We stumbled on this place by accident and when I tell you my mind was blown and we had so many food orgasms! We ordered the steamed mussels and Bianco & Funghi and it was by far the best Italian cuisine experience. That is the best pizza ive had in my life no joke. Please visit read more

As a new mom to a newborn, I was excited to get out of the house and enjoy a meal with my family. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. We were told that strollers were not allowed in the restaurant, and when we explained that our baby was in a Doona stroller/car seat, the hostess informed us that because they didn't have high chairs compatible with it, our only options were to leave the baby outside or not eat there. I understand restaurants have policies, but the lack of accommodation or compassion for families with infants was shocking. New parents already face enough challenges getting out of the house, and being made to feel unwelcome because we had our newborn with us was incredibly frustrating. If you're a parent with a baby or stroller, be aware that this restaurant may not be family-friendly or willing to work with you to find a reasonable solution. read more

Cozy atmosphere and our waitress was so patient with us as we did allot of visiting (they weren't busy, so we didn't cause a table jamb). However, our pizza was luke warm and we asked for our dressing on the side and they tossed it. So 3 for food, 5 for service and ambiance. read more

Went for a dinner meeting and was not disappointed!! They have a really nice side room for an event that had it's own small bar and restroom. I didn't get pictures of everything but everyone I talked to thoroughly enjoyed the food. Appetizers: 5/5 Charcuterie- was a really great assortment! Meatballs - made in house meatballs covered in melty mozzarella. Was maybe my favorite appetizer! Calamari Steak- I've never had anything like this. Sooo good! Thin flat sliced, perfectly light breading, served over tomato sauce, with herb aioli, cherry peppers, garlic, topped with arugula. Salad: Cesar Salad 5/5 The lightest Cesar salad I've ever had. Generous amount of chopped romaine. Delicious croutons & shaved parmesan with and the perfect amount of a light garlic dressing (not doused). Entree: 5/5 Filet & Gnocchi- 8-oz tenderloin served over parmesan black truffle gnocchi, spinach & mushrooms topped with our signature red wine reduction sauce. That gnocchi was divine! Loved everything about that dish! Dessert: 5/5 They brought us fun (decorated with a sparkler) platters of an assortment of desserts. Cannolis, almond biscotti cheesecake, heavenly house-made carrot cake, tiramisu & a chocolate cake. We were stuffed but committed to trying a bite of each. The carrot cake is worth going back for alone. The tiramisu was also great. I look forward to going back and trying more of their food! Pasta is a must next time. Thank you Stellini for a great meal! read more

There are decent Italian restaurants, good Italian restaurants, really good Italian restaurants, and great Italian restaurants...Stellini Trattoria is one of the great ones! Looking for great food, great service, great ambiance? Stellini delivers in every aspect! We ordered the Spaghetti Pomodoro and the Scallops Stellini and both were amazing! We were part of a larger group a little over a month ago, but everyone is STILL talking about how amazing the experience and food were when we visited. I am anxious to go back and try some of their other menu items! For example, the one person we were with ordered the Seven Layer Lasagna and I have to say it looked amazing and she kept going on and on about it! The person next to me ordered the Tagliatelle Al Barlo (red pasta with shrimp and porcini mushrooms in a Barolo sauce) and the aroma was amazing. Overall fantastic experience! read more

Honestly expected more given the reviews, but seems quite mixed with either 5 stars or 2 stars. Unfortunately, I am very much in the 2 star category. Started with some salads, house was good, the Caesar lacked any flavor, almost no dressing the romaine and croutons were quite sad. We had a couple pizzas to share and they were passable, maybe the best thing I had all night. Decent crust and flavor. Meatball appetizer was good, nice flavor and cooked well. The waitress talked up the robiola pasta and it was bad. Had only 3 shrimp in it and the pasta and sauce really lacked flavor. One of the worst pasta dishes I've had in quite some time. Pasta dish wasn't cheap either, $38 for pasta with 3 shrimp in it. I ate more of the pizza instead of eating my pasta. I would say skip, you can definitely find better. read more

We had dinner at Stellini Trattoria with friends on a Saturday night, starting with drinks at the bar while waiting for our table. We had reservations, and I'd definitely recommend making one because the place was busy. For starters, we ordered the Ciccio Flatbread and Arancini. The flatbread was amazing, packed with flavor and a great way to start the meal. The arancini was just okay. The center wasn't as hot as it should have been IMO and could have used another minute or two in the fryer. But...I like my hot food to be hot. YMMV. For mains, our table had a mix of dishes: Tagliatelle Bolognese, Amanti Della Carne pizza, Cacio e Pepe, and the Gnocchi special. Out of everything, we all agreed that the Tagliatelle Bolognese was the best dish. It was absolutely delicious! The Cacio e Pepe, on the other hand, was a little disappointing. It was too heavy on the sauce and oddly lacked any real pepper flavor. You could actually taste lemon more than anything else. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what we expected. IMO it would have worked better as an Alfredo. Service was just okay. Our server was friendly, but when it came time for dessert and the check, there were long waits. We all wished she had been a little more attentive. The ambiance was a mixed bag. The restaurant itself is nicely designed, and I'd normally consider it a great date night spot, but it was surprisingly loud for a place of this caliber. The bar is in the middle of everything, and the boisterous bar crowd really took away from the dining experience. It was so loud that having a conversation across the table was nearly impossible. Overall, I'm on the fence about going back. The food was great, but at this price point for a full dinner, I expected a bit more of a refined experience, both in terms of service and atmosphere. If they worked on the noise level and pacing of service, it could be a fantastic spot, but as it stands, I don't know if I'd return on a night that it might be busy. read more

This place really impressed us. A little pricey, however, the food was absolutely excellent. I had a mushroom risotto that was divine. My husband had the braised short ribs, which was falling apart tender. So good. Coffee was also very good, and trust me, I don't always say that about my coffee. lol. Only thing I did not like was their cocktails, but maybe I'm just picky. Very nice atmosphere, great music too. I would definitely go back. read more

Our first choice when at our 2nd home in downtown Grapevine. Awesome food, service and not a tourist trap.

I cannot say enough about how great food and staff is here. I'm just sorry it took me so to leave this post. We were traveling through Grapevine from visiting with co-workers in Dallas. After the wonderful dinner here we had over 12 hours drive to Albuquerque, NM. Everything was yummy and the service we amazing. So amazing that when a co-worker came to CA from TX for training this is the restaurant we talked about. Thank you to the staff for everything! read more

My wife & I shared the Coccoli to start with, I then enjoyed the Honey Mustard Grilled Salmon and she the Lasagna. My wife was underwhelmed by the Coccoli, but thoroughly enjoyed her lasagna. I on the other hand, enjoyed both the Coccoli and my Salmon entree. I also enjoyed an Godfather Old Fashioned. We went early in the afternoon on a Saturday before enjoying a stroll through downtown Grapevine. It was our first time there, a bit of a splurge for us, but we look forward to going back. Only negative was the waiter was a little over the top with cliche, and familiarity . But over they were friendly and the food was very good . read more

We had high hopes. Bartender did not appear to like his job. Won't return because of him.

I wish I remembered the name of our server because she made the experience. I came for a birthday meal and failed to realize pasta wasn't served during Sunday brunch; no problem, I love pasta and it's what I came here for, but I'll get something else. My parents, who I was with, expressed distaste loudly enough that our very very kind server asked the kitchen if they could make me a pasta dish (I'm so sorry for that but thank you for your kindness!!). I got the Mafaldine Pasta and it was above average, tasted very strongly of Brussels sprouts so be warned of that. Lovely waitress also brought me a free Oreo cheesecake dessert with a sparkler in it, without prompting, after our meal, which really made it special. I will say, the parking is horrible. Little street parking and a few lots around that say they will tow. I was lucky to get a street spot after 10 minutes of driving around. read more

Had an excellent dinner and the service was spot on. Restaurant has a great vibe and the bar is a fun spot for seating. My only issue is I ordered the Cacio e Pepe and I'm pretty sure they made it with cream. There is no cream in CP. It looked too much like an Alfredo sauce not traditional CP. I expected better. If I'm wrong please correct me, but I make it a bunch at home and it shouldn't have that consistency. read more

The service was outstanding. We ordered the rustic bread for appetizers. Served with olive oil and balsamic reduction sauce. Definitely a winner. One of the diners had halibut and I had a seasonal salad with an add on of steak. We were so full we had to forego dessert. Give it a try. Shout out to Beau and Blake. They made us feel special. read more

My wife found this gem in the middle of the afternoon on an otherwise dreary day I guess it was around 3:00 pm before the wait staff had arrived for their shift. No matter, the GM himself greeted us warmly and found us a comfortable table. After perusing the menu my wife asked him for a recommendation. We were telling him if he had a signature experience that he wanted to communicate to the world, what would it be! For starters we had the Calamari Steak and Caprese. I've never had better Calamari and the Caprese had Burrata cheese instead of the standard Mozzarella which was an unexpected yet fantastic choice. The GM then picked the Scallops Stellini for my wife and suggested the Braised Pork Shank for me. He also paired the perfect wine choices for us. I gotta tell you I could tell their Chef had Michelin credentials!! Both entres' were next level in every category. We finished our experience with a roasted pecan and salted caramel pana cotta for me and a limoncello Crème brûlée for my wife. I think on a 5 star scale I will give 6 stars in every area. BTW, at 4:00pm read more

We ate here for our anniversary. This place is awesome. My wife had the filet with gnocchi and added the scallops. The scallops had so much flavor, as did the filet. I had the pasta with pecorino Romano cheese sauce. It was absolutely fantastic. We had the charcuterie board for an appetizer, it isn't on the menu, so you need to ask for it. That was also fantastic. For desert, we had the lemoncello Brule, and that was very delicious. The service was absolutely fantastic , it was quick and our waiter did a great job of explaining the menu to us. This was one of the best meals we have ever had. It's definitely the best Italian food we have ever had. If you are in the Grapevine area, you definitely need to try this place out. You will definitely not be sorry. read more

Would Not recommend this restaurant. Service was mediocre at best. We ordered the Roasted Branzino with vegetables, and split a Caesar salad. The salad not fresh and soggy to boot. The branzino was bland and fishy, and the vegetables also soggy and not flavored well. Summary: an over-priced restaurant that under performs. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is nice-looking, well-lit, and arranged. The music was pretty loud, which made conversation difficult. read more
