About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
Stella Artisan is pure Italian soul. We have one mission in mind – serving authentic, hand-crafted, the most delicious Italian dishes you could ever taste! With the core belief of keeping good food and great taste a priority, Artisan chefs employ craft cooking acquired from food preparation practices running through generations.

While the methods remain deep-rooted in the traditions of Italy, our executive chef makes ample use of modern techniques to craft innovative blends of dishes and customize some on special requests. In essence, what comes out of the Artisan kitchen is the result of the finest craftsmanship, leaving you content, yet hungry for more of our world-class, authentic Italian meal.

We use only healthy food preparation methods that include choosing the freshest ingredients and an abundant supply of original spices and herbs sourced from innermost regions of Italy. This results in choices full of rich flavors and unforgettable taste, to satisfy every taste palate.

    Heard good things about this restaurant so wanted to try but everything about this place was not good. We were seated and it took 20 minutes for someone to come over and when the waitress did she asked if we were ready to order. We hadn’t even received water or had she opened our bottle of wine. Once we did order the food, it took an hour to get it. We actually thought the waitress forgot about it and was about to just pay for our appetizer when the food finally arrived. The food was not worth an hour wait at all. The spicy rigatoni was not spicy and tasted like Chef Boyardee and we have had better Chicken Piccata at the local pizza place. Not worth a trip.

    We have always loved Stella but our last two experiences were terrible and we won't be back. When we arrived our table was set up missing one person from the reservationn and they had to bring over another table which took some time and inconvenienced other patrons. Our server was clearly overextended, they didn't have enough menus for us and it took a long time just to get water. The appetizers were served in stages so we were not able to eat them at the same time - this also happened last month when we were there. Same with our dinner, and unfortunately one of the dinners didn't come out until we were all done eating. Even more frustrating, there were no updates on what happened and after asking multiple times we were told that the dinner went to someone else. With our last experience, this happened too AND 3 of our 4 dinners came out on top of our appetizers which we had barely started! The quality of the food was inconsistent which was never the case in the past. Something has changed and unfortunately their service and quality have slipped materially.

    First time dining at Stella Artisan in Ridgewood, NJ. Parking was convenient with the public parking garage right across the street. The dining room is small so make sure you make reservations. Service was very good. We started off sharing a Cesar salad served chopped, shaved parm with a small amount of croutons…very good! I had the Spaghetti Alla Vodka…unimpressed. My husband had the Garganelli…very good. Prices were reasonable. Overall, I would say it’s worth the visit. It’s a BYOB so don’t forget to bring the wine! 🍷

    Can’t give a restaurant a good review when the main meal comes out one minute after the appetizer. “Sorry the kitchen is busy” is not an acceptable excuse.
