Stella's

This pleace overlooks the oceans. The servers are nice attentive and very knowledgeable of their food. They have daily specials that range from gourmet pastas to seafood soups that will blow your mind. I had the seafood stew "Cioppino" it was the special of the day. However this place is a bit pricey and great date night spot so be ready to throw a few hundos around for this amazing place. It's worth it. Cozy seats with pillows and full bar inside for those who like that setting

Great place with ocean breezes and views. Live Jazz band on Thursdays with a great guitar and bass duo! Best smelling restaurant ever! Super friendly positive vibe from owner and staff.

A nice Father's Day dinner at Stella's. We ordered a bottle of Austin Hope to start with the eggplant appetizer and bread. My wife had a tequilla and club soda with limes. Jameson our waiter was very professional and listed the specials as well. I had a wonderful pasta dish with grilled chicken and my wife had the swordfish special. Such a delight.
We finished the evening with coffee and pistachio cheesecake with vanilla bean gelato...oh so good.
The musician is amazing and plays the saxophone all night and takes requests.
Highly recommended

Just came to Dana Point for a quick walk and luckily also found this cozy Italian restaurant with live music and delicious meal. Homemade tiramissu was a grand finale. All made to perfection. Definitely will come back to try their lasagna! Grazie!

We were really happy that we came to Stella’s during our short trip to the area. The ambiance was great with a great view of the ocean. Service was wonderful. And they had a live sax player playing music, which was nice entertainment. We ordered bruschetta and calamari to start. The lobster and shrimp ravioli was amazing (this was a special). We also got the chicken Parmesan, and the chicken was so tender. We were staying at the Ritz-Carlton down the street, and we honestly received more attentive service and had a better experience here then at the Ritz. Thanks Stella’s ☺️
