Stella's Italian Kitchen & Cafe

Wife & I met a long time friend at Stella’s as a special treat for her… she lives nearby but had never been there. We all ordered sandwiches. I had the Roast Beef Panini w/ Tomato Bisque Soup. Everyone raved about their selections! I then treated the ladies to the dessert counter so they could pick a fabulous dessert to go! This is truly an impressive place to visit… the store… the products… the food served… and the chef & entire staff!

Always a pleasant experience. Great menu options with very friendly service. We shared a 12” pizza and it was delicious 😋.

Small town wonderful restaurant, bar, and lunch counter. The nicest people, truly innovative menu and excellent to catch up with Lyme residents. Blue grass live music on Friday afternoons a real community within a community with a super nice proprietor. Thanks to all Stella's staff.

I got terrific recommendations about this place from my friends, and was meaning to visit for a long time. And oh, they were so right!! The food here is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 11/10 Undoubtedly the best Italian in the Upper Valley! Their complimentary bread and olive oil was a fantastic app. I took the shrimp scampi, and my bf took the Bolognese, and both were mouthwatering! Their cake and ice cream dessert is a hearty end to your meal!! Other things that stand out are the romantic decor and amazing warm service (they box your leftovers for ya :')). This place also has a smallish cute gift store. I would come back to this place in a heartbeat! Special shout-out to AJ!!

Wish I could remember the name of our waitress. She exudes joy. The food is always excellent and her service and the atmosphere combine to make Stella’s a favorite. Another extremely positive aspect is that we meet our very dear friends there every time. We will be back.
