I think I over-reacted in my comments. I had a problem with the server, maybe a bad night and I left an overly negative response about Stellinas. The food is good and it would certainly be a welcome addition to any neighborhood.

And KBO, I agree. I think I prefer this to Pappy’s sandwich, the pork is pretty equal, but the remainder of the Stellina sandwich is far superior.

I really disagree, RG. I rarely ever get the pasta, because the “South Side Smoke” is so damn good. That with a Kolsch on draft is a fantastic dinner.

From what I saw of their wine list, while tiny, was pretty good.

But you make a good point about the e-mail. I can’t fault you for that.

I personally think they are way over rated. One evening I was dining there. The coffee was terrible. The wine list was vacant.
When I emailed about it, I did not get the courtesy of any response. IMO, if a restaraunt owner cannot respond to an email, they are off of my list…

Amen! Stellina is such a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I don’t think I’ve had a bite of food there that wasn’t excellent. Who would think that a pasta restaurant would have the best pulled pork in the city, but I think it rivals Pappy’s. Honestly, when the Pitted Olive closed, I really mourned the type of restaurant it was (outstanding food in casual atmosphere), but Stellina fills that void rather nicely.
