Stella always is one of my favorites in OKC. Yesterday, however, the restaurant even outdid itself! Several new Fall menu items recommended by our perfect waitress, Nicole - all of which were absolutely fabulous. You just can’t beat the new softly fried calamari, shrimp, artichoke, mozzarella, lemon slices, olives and pepperochini with the aioli sauce - utterly delicious. The perfectly cooked brisket sandwich with pickled carrots on a perfectly toasted baguette was to die for and the chopped salad - magnificent. And then….the amazing risotto rice pudding - oh my!
Service great, as usual, and the noise level much better than usual for a Sunday afternoon.
