Stella's

About the Business

Specialties

Stella's serves breakfast and lunch all hours the doors are open. In addition to our omelettes, fluffy French toast and eggs Benedict, we pride ourselves on our slow cooked, house-roasted corned beef and crispy fried green tomatoes. A nice hot cup of Kahwa coffee perfectly complements any breakfast, as do our mimosas and Bloody Marys. Looking for something sweet? Try one of our homemade desserts - the selection is always new!

History

Established in 2009.

Stella's opened its doors in 2009 named after owner Barbara Banno's Great Aunt Stella - the Dominican nun from Queens, NY. Aunt Stella's love for her Italian family and her passion for food are what inspired a restaurant where customers would also feel like family and the food would remind them of home. "I know from the days the doors opened, she has blessed me with her presence throughout the restaurant. And every time you come visit us at Stella's, I promise to serve up good food and excellent service with the same love and passion that my Aunt Stella did for me." - Barbara Banno, Owner
