Best Authentic Restaurants in Southeast Dallas

La Stella has authentic, elevated Italian cuisine. We had the octopus, cotoletta (veal), caprese salad, paparedelle, etc. It all was excellent. We are fortunate to eat at high end restaurants and have traveled extensively. La Stella hits the mark and defines the balance we look for in a dining experience. Pro tip: order things for the table to share so that you can take some home to warm up the next day!!

Amazing experience treated wonderfully all around great service & a time was had couldn’t have asked for a better experience highly recommend & greatly appreciated!

Wife and I celebrated our anniversary and the food was top notch. We got the omakese experience and enjoyed every dish that was presented to us.

People were so welcoming and guided my family and I through our first Cajun food experience

Absolutely amazing! Kitchen table Chefs Tasting Menu was fantastic. You are in the kitchen as they prepare your meal, but that have created a much more “homey” style kitchen rather than the traditional commercial kitchen. The food and explanation of the menu as you eat is fantastic! The Mezcal selection is amazing as well. If you don’t rent out the whole table (8 guests I think) you will be seated with others which could be good or bad depending on your luck. I would rent out this table for a group in a heartbeat and enjoy a night of cocktails and amazing food. I will 1000% be going back. Maybe try the main dining room and traditional experience, but that will be hard since I know what the kitchen holds for its guests. I can tell why he won Beard Awards.
