Stellina

Had a great dinner at Stellina, the very atmospheric and fun offshoot of highly regarded Italian restaurant Fortunato. Stellina is a bar with excellent cocktails, dim lights and good music AND you can order the full menu from Fortunato next door. My wife and I split an escarole and raddichio salad with pancetta and a lamb meatball pizza with arugula. Cocktails were great, the house red was quaffable and the food was outstanding.

Tried to get reservations at Fortuna, but could not. Stellina offers their menu and is right beside them. Stellina is small and on a Friday they were packed in. Scored at the bar which worked fine for me. Service was lukewarm, but still ok. Service started out slow and improved. However, no check-ins were performed at all. I was given a cocktail and food menu. I knew I wanted an Old Fashioned and dropped an order for their lamb meatballs. Shortly after I decided on the eggplant Parmesan main. My drink with Rittenhouse Rye bourbon was tasty, just not much of it price at $17 steep too! I also ordered a specialty hot rum drink with pumpkin spice at $10 that was amazing! The meatballs hit quickly and were devoured! So yummy! About 15 minutes later the main dropped and was huge! Really quality and flavorful for a vegetarian dish. Overall the food was better than the service and prices were stretched. 3.5 rounding down.

Great small bar to have an excellent cocktail and great food. Stopped by for a drink and small bites. Have not been here before, pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere Very small inside, but a cozy feel. Full bar, and small tables, perfect for couples or small groups. Sat at the bar, ordered drinks and appetizers. The food is the same menu from Fortunato need door, a very good Italian kitchen and Neapolitan pizza restaurant. That was packed (Friday at 7pm), so if you don’t have reservations, this gets you the same. Service Outstanding! The young woman who was tending bar was excellent…knew everything about the menu, and was attentive yet not intrusive. Best part was when I asked is she could make a traditional daiquiri (shaken, neat in a coupe glass). This is a sticky point at most bars these days as most often the bartenders have no idea how to make something like this, even though it’s been around for years. However she said it was a favorite of hers, and served me a perfectly made, delicious daiquiri. Also made my wife an excellent old fashioned…well done! Food We ordered a couple antipasti off the menu, Lamb meatballs and Formaggi, both were amazing. The meatballs wer

If you are looking for a super fun cocktail bar, you have found it. The drinks are stellar! The service is prompt, friendly, and personable. Their Christmas pop up was awesome, but they are awesome year round, so no surprise there. Do not walk, run to this place.

I love the atmosphere. I enjoy being able to order the same menu as Fortunato with a quieter, cozy vibe. My service tonight was ah-mazing!!!! The food was great as always. I got the bread plate with smoked ricotta cheese and enjoyed it tremendously. Love this place!
