Great food, sat at the bar with Broncos playing pre season on the bar TVs. Numerous specials available, I’m glad I chose the scallops, tender with rich sauce. Then the ravioli. Amazing. Great menu, I wanted to try it all so I’ll be back soon. Eat at the bar or tables. Paid and free parking near the front door. Great service. Try it, you’ll like it.

Absolutely stellar experience at Lo Stella Ristorante! The prosciutto was exquisite, and the wild boar pasta was a mouthwatering delight. The service was top-notch, and the wine selection added the perfect touch to our meal. A must-visit for foodies!

Some serious winners and some average joes. The seafood ravioli is seriously to die for and I’ll come out of my way to get this dish again. The squash soup was also delish

We’ve been to Lo Stella a few times and each time it’s been impressive. The specials here are indeed special and always worth getting. The last time, we had salt crusted sea bass that was as moist as they came.

It’s the first place I beg one of many friends who volunteer to pick me up from the airport to immediately take me to the second I land in Denver!

Service was inattentive and the atmosphere was okay. My wife and I got the wild boar pasta and both ended up very sick with food poisoning. Very overpriced for the small portions they give you. My wife and I both had explosive diarrhea for a week after eating here. Went to the doctor and it turns out that it was parasites from improperly handled pork. Will NOT be going back.

I had the most authentic and delicious italian dinner ever. It truly felt like I was back in Italy. The food is extremely fresh. I had the charcuterie plate as an appetizer followed by pasta alla bolognese. The pasta dough is made freshly everyday by Chef Luca which I had the pleasure to meet. The restaurant feels cozy and low key. A true gem!
