Despite it was a busy Christmas Eve evening the service did not fail, and the quality of food was great as expected!

Enjoyed our time on Christmas Eve with our family. Thank you to the staff for serving us!

Stellina is not your typical crowded Long Island Italian eatery where people go to be seen. Instead, it's like a café in Italy. The ambiance is wonderful, and the staff is easy to talk to and incredibly accommodating, taking care of special requests without hesitation. The food is fantastic—from the salads and wood-fired oven pizzas to the homemade pastas, Zuppe di Pesce, and lasagna. Stellina is worth the drive to Oyster Bay and is a standout.

Food and service was very good. Had to wait 25 minutes for table to free up even though we had a reservation. Went to bar to have a drink, martinis. Not impressed with the experience. Only had 2 brand options, Tito's or Kettle One. Serving was rather ordinary, olives were rather ordinary, no blue cheese option, and very pricey for the end product ($22 each). Wine at dinner was good, though. But, will go back again, and omit the martinis.
