“From beggining to the last glass the experience was fantastic. Once the fresh bread hit the table we knew the flavors would be sensational and wow did LoStella deliver. A True Gem, Make Sure To Visit The Grapa Cart.”
“Lo Stella Italian Trattoria in Denver completely exceeded expectations. We grabbed a table outside, and from the moment we sat down, everything felt effortlessly charming and elevated. The pasta alla vodka was unreal—rich, perfectly balanced, and honestly on par with Carbone level (which says everything). And then the cacio e pepe… finished tableside in a Parmesan wheel with freshly shaved truffle on top. Oh my goodness. Pure theater and even better flavor. This might truly be some of the best pasta in Denver right now. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and overall experience make it a standout. Five stars, no question. Already planning our next visit. 🍝✨”
“Lo Stella is a wonderful restaurant Italian restaurant with solid Italian flavors, we ordered the lamb, rigatoni, pesto gnocchi, and the special that included truffle butter with truffles shredded on top. The wine pairing recommendations went well with the dishes and the desserts are phenomenal, the ratings for this place is well deserved. Shoutout to Jacob who was an amazing server from the time we sat to when we got the bill, if he ran for mayor I'd vote for him. USA USA USA”
“Lo Stella is one of those places that instantly feels special without needing to try too hard. The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and beautifully inviting. Perfect for a date night, a celebratory dinner, or a slow evening where conversation matters. The food is absolutely outstanding. Best pasta in Denver hands down. Every dish felt comforting yet elevated, and the wine selection paired beautifully with the meal. Lots of intention put behind the menu. We loved the Parmesan wheel! What truly sets it apart is the service. Warm, attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely welcoming. A true Denver gem. We’ll absolutely be back!!”
“We visited for a friend’s wedding celebration and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, and the food was both authentic and delicious. Standout dishes for us were the lamb ragù pasta, cacio e pepe, and the panna cotta. The space is small but cozy, which adds to the charm. Highly recommended.”
