Located at 76 South Street, Stellina Ristorante is a fine Italian restaurant that hopes to be exactly what the name implies — the “little star” in the town of Oyster Bay. Stellina Ristorante, with only a 40-person occupancy, will create an atmosphere of dining in a small restaurant in Italy — sometimes in the seaside of the Amalfi Coast, other times in the hills of Tuscany. Through seasonally-inspired, authentic Italian cooking, Stellina’s mission is to bring a small piece of Italy to Oyster Bay. The specially-crafted menu will include a variety of spuntini, pasta, pizzas, and more.

We had a wonderful time! The food was amazing, made all the more enjoyable by our waiter’s on point recommendations. We shared a number of appetizers and split a main course, and everything was impeccable. The owner or manager greeted our table and made us all feel welcome. Thank you for a very memorable evening!

I have been to this restaurant several times and it never disappoints. The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. Our server, although very busy, was amazing. He truly went out of his way to make sure everything was great. I had the sizzling shrimp appetizer which was very different and made to perfection. My husband had the breaded chicken, and I had the ravioli both of which were excellent. While they had some interesting signature cocktails, it would have been nice, to add some holiday drinks and some old favorites like chocolate martinis. We are locals so having this amazing new and different restaurant is a bonus to our community.
