La Stella Cucina Verace: Reviews & Ratings
Big SHOUT OUT TO ADAM!!! Food was great people were great, anniversary romantic, guy playing piano was perfect not loud or anything disruptive, clean dishes, food was clean didn't upset our stomachs. U-purp was great way to start, menu was easy to follow and tasty from top to bottom. Highly recommend getting seasonal dishes, it feels like the chefs like cooking those haha.
My husband surprised me with reservations for our 25th anniversary and he did not disappoint. We were greeted with champagne at our table and the evening just got better from there. I can't recommend the meatballs enough.. nonna makes it just like I remembered the last time I was in Rome. They have a wonderful selection of Italian wines and Hamil gave us some samples to try before we decided on the Amarone (see photo) which was perfect with the meatballs. Our meal was so authentic and nonna makes the shells for the canoli so that's worth coming in just for a glass of wine and dessert to finish off an evening at the symphony. A beautiful accompaniment to our meal was having the very talented Aubree-Anna entertain us with a fabulous set (and a special Sade dedication). Chef designs a seasonal menu so I only added pictures of the menu to give a sample of what we had. We're headed back the next time gnocchi makes it back on the menu because I've seen so many comments about it. I finally have a favorite Italian place in Dallas!
La Stella lived up to the hype for me on my visit. Had a show later in the evening so very convenient location. Cozy place and excellent vibe, from the lounge singer to the service. The food was very good, be prepared to drop some coin. Would recommend this place for that special occasion or show date!

La Stella Cucina Verace is an Italian restaurant that truly lives up to its name, offering a "true and genuine" dining experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional service. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring our every need was met. The manager went above and beyond, expertly guiding us through the wine list to find the perfect pairing for our meals. He even surprised us with some delightful extras based on his recommendations, showcasing his passion for the cuisine. The cocktails crafted by the bartender were nothing short of amazing. Each drink was expertly balanced and bursting with flavor, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. My steak was cooked to absolute perfection, and the flavors were incredible. It was clear that the chef used high-quality ingredients and prepared each dish with care. My partner was equally impressed with her meal, and we both agreed that it was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. The ambiance of La Stella Cucina Verace is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal setting for a romantic date night or a special occasion.

Really enjoyed dinner with my husband here! Adam made the experience unforgettable! The food, vibes and service were great. Would come here again and highly recommend to others. Dishes we had were: U’PURP, ravioli, a seasonal lamb dish and the bread pudding. Drinks: limoncello and Pompeii were tasty. All of it paired so well, phenomenal. The portions are great to eat family style as well.
James the General Manager and Jonathan gave my wife and I impeccable service. The food was incredible, drinks were amazing and the service was absolutely top notch. We started our experience with the waygu meat balls, MUST HAVE! The veal shank with saffron risotto and was the best meal we’ve had in a long time. They suggested the bread pudding and Nutella cheesecake for dessert and all I can say is complements to the chefs making all this amazing food. The staff worked together like a well oiled machine, constantly manicuring tables and keeping our glasses full. If you’re looking for an amazing experience with live music and a beautiful romantic atmosphere, look no further.
