My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best experience. Bobby and Iffy were our waiters and were so kind and quick. The food was amazing, as always. The service was impeccable. We really felt cared for. I also appreciate the suggestions and help from Iffy when we were indecisive on what to order, he steered us in the right direction. Really appreciate the care and quality of service we received. Will definitely be returning!

This is my second visit to Casa Stellina and the food and service didn't disappoint. The fried artichokes are superb. They are light, crispy and not greasy at all. The aioli sauce served with it is delicious. We both had the Cacio e Tre Pepe for diner. It was great and for dessert we shared the deconstructed cannoli. It was a fantastic dinner. Can't wait to go back again.

We have been visiting Mythos for many years and have never had a bad meal here. It continues to stand up to that standard. My favorite is the Branzino, always cooked to perfection.
