Stella Artisan Italian
Stella Artisan Italian is a charming Italian restaurant located at 18 E Ridgewood Ave, Ridgewood, NJ 07450, offering a delightful dining experience in a cozy yet inviting atmosphere.

Stella is known for its exceptional service, where attentive and polite staff members ensure that your dining experience is pleasant from start to finish. As an appetizer, the ceviche stands out, delivering fresh and vibrant flavors that set the tone for the meal ahead. For the main course, the short rib ravioli is highly recommended, offering rich, tender flavors that blend perfectly with the homemade pasta. However, the broccoli rabe and sausage dish, which has a pesto base, might feel a bit bland to some.
If you're craving a satisfying dessert to end your meal, the chocolate mousse at Stella is a great choice-smooth, creamy, and decadent. For those looking for something a little different, the pistachio cake has also received praise for its delightful flavor and texture, offering a perfect ending to a memorable meal.
The restaurant frequently hosts live music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, adding a vibrant atmosphere to your dining experience. Whether you choose to sit inside or enjoy the fresh air outside, Stella Artisan Italian offers an intimate setting with a touch of Italian charm.
Stella Artisan Italian Reviews
Delicious food, cute outdoor area to sit and enjoy. Live music Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Byob is always a plus
Everything about our meal was delicious!!! The food was super fresh. We ordered ceviche and a pear salad to start. Followed by a shrimp scampi and tune steak dinner. For desert we had a pistachio cake that did not disappoint. We will absolutely be coming back.
Beautiful evening, so we wanted to eat outside. Stella has a nice area for outdoor dining, as well as as nice e indoor space. We started with a zucchini appetizer that was delicious, and then a pasta carbonara and chicken parmigiana. All were excellent, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back.
Back again, and again. Love their Pasta. Lots of variety made fresh with quality ingredients. Service is always friendly.

Appetizer: ceviche was good Main Course :The short rib ravioli was very good! The broccoli rabe and sausage was more of a pesto & was bland . Dessert: chocolate mousse was good!
