Stella Van Buren is a fresh take on the Italian-American steakhouse with the flavors of a classic Italian kitchen, modern style, unique design and food that appeals to today’s diner. Slow-cooked meats and flavorful house-made pastas are the traditional comfort-food classics that Italians have been roasting, baking, curing, and making in their own kitchens for generations. Bar service begins at 4pm. Saturday, dinner service at 5pm. Breakfast available Saturday and Sunday from 7am-10am and 6:30am-9:00am Monday thru Friday.

Amateur service. They could not let us finish the appetizers before bringing the food. Regretful choice. Will not return

Slow, inattentive staff. Had planned on ordering a third course but the first two took so long to bring out, that I didn't have time for a third.
