Stella Ristorante in Leipzig

When we visited, the restaurant was full, so it was very loud and it took a relatively long time for the food to arrive. But the taste was very good! The service was always friendly and helpful.

I've been coming to Karli for years and have been through quite a few restaurants, but Stella is the best!!! Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and very, very good food. Unreservedly recommended!!!

We went there spontaneously and were happy to get a table. We had to wait a very long time for our food. The waitress offered us champagne on the house for the longer wait. I had a half & half pizza. One side had truffles! The pizza tasted very good. There was a DJ playing music next door - which we really liked.

Super schönes Restaurant, der Service ist immer freundlich und ließt einem jeden Wunsch von den Lippen . Das Essen war super lecker . Gern kommen wir wieder

Delicious pasta and wine.....hm

The knife was sharp, the pizza for €15 was very clearly topped. Menu or prices here in Google from the last decade. Card payment worked, but without a receipt

5 stars more than deserved. It was very tasty, service was great, everyone was super friendly. Gladly again

The food was passable, but unfortunately the service was not. My children (1 and 3 years old) were there. No space was made for the stroller, and unfortunately not even after drinks when they were empty. After paying, the table behind us got a lemonade on the house. When we were paying, however, we were told a stupid question about whether we wanted to pay in cash (although no one had asked or said anything about card payments beforehand).

Have been there several times now and I think it's great. I can't rate the ambience inside because we always sat outside. The food was very fresh and came quickly. I had tomato soup and some of a friend's bruschetta. For the main course I had the spaghetti scampi. The bruschetta was just perfect, the tomato soup was fresh and delicious. My main course was great. Fresh pasta and crunchy scampi. Service was very friendly, but there are small language problems. My buddy misread it when ordering and thought he ordered something wrong. It was solved very well and he was offered to change his order. He said no and then ate what he “didn’t order”. Nevertheless, the staff brought him what he “actually” wanted without charging for it. There was also extra parmesan, oil, bread without us asking for it. Finally there was schnapps on the house and it was a great evening. Always my pleasure

The food was incredibly tasty and the service was first class. 👍🏻

Nice place, but nothing special, and the food is okay, although nothing special. The service is nice. Prices are quite high for the location and food.

Super delicious dishes! Friendly and courteous staff. Interesting atmosphere. However, you shouldn't look at the electrical system too closely.

Sorry but at 4.7 I expect more. Starting with the bread: what felt like baked ciabatta from the supermarket Many of the leaves in the salad were wilted and inedible. The lasagna was there within 5 minutes, but the inside was only warmed up to lukewarm. The tomato sauce that came with it was super unseasoned and had a boring taste. Unfortunately it's one of those Italians that are nothing special and are more Germanized than authentic Italian cuisine. Unfortunately, too little attention is paid to the details. It's nice to sit on the Karli but nothing more.

Bad service, our table was full of empty glasses, we waited 20 minutes for a drink, my food plate was broken so I cut it and porcelain splinters fell into my food, I had it returned but no apology was given

Can only give one star. Food was only lukewarm, the shrimp was almost raw. Some of the plates were broken, so we had to return the food because there were shards in the food. Otherwise, the service was totally overwhelmed and unfriendly. Not again. Yes, the cocktail was delicious.

We experienced a wonderfully warm summer night here in June 2024 and everything was perfect, from the excellent food to the great service. Thank you very much! We would love to come back.

Very good food, I ordered a pizza verdura and a tiramisu. The service gentleman is very attentive, humorous and competent. I'm glad our group was able to eat here and I'll be back. 🌹

The staff was almost overwhelmed by the rush of guests for the round of 16 of the European Championship. Orders would have to be placed at least twice or you would have to find a waiter. I can't say anything about the food today because I didn't eat anything. My two friends obviously enjoyed it. A pity...

At first you think it is one of those tourist traps where the only Italian thing is the flag on the menu. But, the food was tasty and made with quality ingredients. Service was also fast and attentive.

Very good service, especially the waiter Albert.

Super friendly and courteous host and service. We actually loved the food. Great selection and quality. We will be back!

The food was very good and the team was very nice, uncomplicated and friendly.

Great food, lovely flavor combinations. Impeccable and courteous service. Great atmosphere on the Karli!

Food was very, very tasty. Exceptional pizza combinations. And the service was super accommodating! Absolutely recommended!

Wonderful food. Quite excellent! Waiter was very attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Thanks. Totally nice boss. Great pizza again

The food was okay, tasted a bit weak. Unfortunately, the man who served us wasn't particularly friendly

My cabonara was lightly salted and I felt like it was made with cream. We weren't treated very kindly either. The waiter seemed very stressed, we clearly stated several times that we had time and it wasn't a problem if it took longer. But it would just be nice if you were treated kindly. The general ambience is a mixture of urban street style and brick and not very traditional.

We were here 3 times last year in 2023. It was really everything! Excellent This year 2024 we were disappointed, food not seasoned, new waiters and probably a new chef. Very unfortunate.

We had lunch at Stella today. If you like delicious Italian food, you're in good hands here.

It was like we came here every week. We were greeted as if we were good old friends.

Yesterday I was there with my family and I really liked the restaurant. The service was very good and the food was good. I would love to come back.

It's a very pleasant restaurant. Danielo is friendly and nice!! We will come here again and again!!!!

Top restaurant in Leipzig, best service, I recommend everyone to go to Stella, I like coming to Stella.

Come here once a year. It still tastes very tasty!!!

Fantastic, only men of honor, lots of limoncello, we'll be back :)

Food top! Service top! Great staff always happy!!

A great place to spend a nice evening! The service and staff are world class. Gladly again 😊

Very tasty pizza, friendly service and nice ambience in a busy area.

Since we had a vegan in the group, we asked when we entered whether they had anything vegan on the menu. That was answered in the affirmative and we were placed. Afterwards we were served very unfriendly and there were still confused questions about the vegan food. If they didn't want to do that, they could have simply said at the beginning that the place wasn't suitable for vegans, then we would have moved on. The food felt like it was thrown at us. He also printed out the bills and threw them on the table so we should divide them correctly ourselves. When we wanted to pay with the card, there was more complaining. The food itself was good, but unfortunately the service was so unfriendly that I didn't want to go there anymore.

Great load, it's world class, I love you guys

Great food, even with special requests. Good price, service attentive, not intrusive. Unfortunately a bit noisy... High ceilings.

A real discovery for gourmets! The seasonal specialties always bring new, exciting flavors to the table. Always worth a visit.

The service here goes above and beyond! Friendly, attentive and always ready with a recommendation. You feel like you're in an Italian family.

First-class service that leaves nothing to be desired. You really feel welcome and valued.

Wir waren mit Freunden im Stella. Die Pizza ist anscheinend empfehlenswert. Der Rest höchstens Durchschnitt bei doch recht hohen Preisen. Ich hatte die Tagliatelle mit Steinpilzen in Trüffelsauce. Gewürzt habe ich das Essen am Tisch. Die Pilze waren sehr matschig. Mein Partner hat sich für das Rumpsteak mit Kartoffeln und Grillgemüse entschieden (27 €). Gewürzt wurde auch hier am Tisch. Kartoffeln/Gemüse lauwarm und unknackig. Beilagensalat nicht angemacht. Fleisch war iO. . Bedienung freundlich und aufmerksam.

Really great food. Great service. In any case, we'll come back 👍🏻

Real carbonara - without cream 🤭 Great service!

Unfortunately, my Saltimbocca was far too salty and not visually pleasing to the palate. In itself a nice location and good service. I just don't know if I can find Indian operators of an Italian restaurant authentic, which I personally find important.

We had a very nice evening at Stella Ristorante! Thanks to Danielo for the very good service! 😊

The food was very tasty, the atmosphere was great and the service with Danielo was top! 😊

The atmosphere was very appealing and the service was also great. Unfortunately, the taste of the pasta verde was not convincing, the noodles were quite hard, the sauce wasn't really seasoned and I don't think frozen carrots are particularly appropriate given the price range.

Very tasty noodles and fantastic staff. We were looked after very well and there were even fireworks at the table and wine on top because we had a birthday child at the table. Real recommendation!

I was at Stella's again. Every now and then you have to check whether everything is the same 😚 and what can I say. Perfect service, soooo good food. You are absolutely lucky if Danielo is there. A real professional. No empty words. He can do something. And a warm greeting also goes to the kitchen. I'm certainly not an easy guest. But patiently, with appropriate advice, everything that is possible is done. Keep it up. Up soon. Mathias Marie Kaiser

Sehr sehr leckeres Essen. Die Antipasti-Platte zur Vorspeise ist sehr zu empfehlen. Beim Hauptgang waren die Teller leider nicht vorgewärmt, weshalb das Essen relativ kalt war. Nachspeise war sehr üppig. Sehr aufmerksamer Service. Alles in allem ein gelungener italienischer Abend.

A beautiful, stylish restaurant with great service and great staff. Yesterday the four of us wanted to spontaneously eat something. Even though the restaurant was apparently full, the staff did everything humanly possible to ensure that we still got a seat. Everything went hand in hand and smoothly. The food was extremely tasty and at the end there was a small shot on the house. A great service from start to finish! Definitely worth a trip!

A beautiful modern restaurant with mega service and best food, best pasta and very attentive service

On the website there is talk of a traditional, lovingly run Italian restaurant, but the people who work there don't look particularly like traditional Italians. One of my friends with whom I dined there is Italian, of course he tried to communicate with the service staff, which was unsuccessful of course wrong as these are not real Italians. Therefore, one star is deducted for the service and the ambience. There is a further star deduction for the music that is too loud and for having to repeat your orders twice or three times even though you say them in clear and distinct words. Since I myself have a fairly good command of Italian pronunciation, I read him the dish I wanted. After the third time, I pointed my finger at it and he simply replied: A.. so S9?! Without further words... In terms of price it was at the threshold. It doesn't have to be €4.50 for a small beer, €1 less would have made me happier and the pizza should have been €2 cheaper too. Since it had few toppings and the artichokes were only pickled, they tasted far too sour, if they had at least been pickled in oil. The dough for the pizza was also just okay because it wasn't really crispy, so you could take it with you I had to eat with a knife and fork because otherwise everything would have slipped off the pizza. The pizza was nice and fluffy on the edge, but there were some coarse air pockets visible, but these are small things that you only pay attention to if you work in the catering industry yourself. But well, if you want to eat at a supposedly hip Italian restaurant on Leipzig's main street, you can do that. There was another Italian restaurant a few meters further on, where you could see the stone oven in the window as you walked past. Maybe we should have chosen this one instead.

I like to eat there. Pasta is always delicious (see, for example, picture, tagliatelle with shrimp and beef fillet). Personally, I can especially recommend the carpaccio, the best thing I've had so far. The weekly menu sometimes also includes other carpaccio, venison or tuna. This is something for foodies to enjoy. The service takes intensive care of individual customers and doesn't just write down orders. Above all, the gentleman with pigtails and the sweet blonde attach particular importance to the well-being of the customers. On the weekend you can sit longer after work if you want. Top recommendation 👍🏻

We were there for Valentine's Day 🌹. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, there were helium heart balloons everywhere, the tables were decorated with rose petals and little hearts, nice for the theme, we really liked that. However, there is a deduction in the ambience because the tables were so narrow, you sat close to your neighbor, maybe 15cm away from the neighboring table. Maybe it was just because of the day, but it gave the impression that everything was running smoothly 🙈 The service was very stressful and everything took a while. I'm always of the opinion that you should only accept as many reservations as the quality doesn't suffer. The food tasted good, but the salami pizza only had 6 slices of salami, which we found to be a bit poor. All in all a good restaurant, we will visit again at a convenient time! 🙂

Attentively... the guests' wishes are read from their lips. Thank you very much that special requests were not a problem. We had a very nice and culinary evening. The restaurant was well attended on Saturday evening... despite everything, the service team was well coordinated and always friendly. The only small criticism that took away from the coziness of the whole ambience... was that it was very loud... but the host basically can't help it. We would definitely like to be your guest again on your next visit to Leipzig.

Excellent dining experience! The Italian cuisine here conjures up authentic dishes on the plate - a real treat for the palate.

It is the first Italian restaurant in Leipzig I have been to. She made an impression on me. I lived in Italy for 16 years and they really recreated the local flavors. The quattro stagioni pizza is delicious. Plus shrimp risotto with zucchini. Delicious. I recommend to everyone. For the first time, I add an opinion that the price is too low for the quality and quantity.

The tables are a bit close together, but the restaurant itself is pretty, the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The staff is very friendly and we got two free rounds of very good limoncello. We were very satisfied and would like to come back :)

We went out for dinner at the weekend and were very impressed. Despite a lot of work, the service was very quick and very friendly. The portions are sufficient and it tastes very good. One of the best Italians in Leipzig!!! We'll be back soon

I am extremely disappointed with my visit to this Italian restaurant. The portion of gnocchi I ordered only contained nine pieces, which in my opinion is completely unacceptable. The carbonara I ordered was made with an excessive amount of cream and had no flavor at all. In addition, the boss was in an extremely bad mood, which further ruined the atmosphere. We had to wait over an hour for our food, despite repeated requests, and the table we were allocated was right in the middle of the door, causing constant drafts and inconvenience. Overall, a disappointing experience that I cannot recommend to anyone.

We were there on Valentine's Day. It was nicely decorated and the ambience was very nice. The service, however, was very overwhelmed. It took forever until we could order and that only happened when we asked. We also had to wait a long time for the food. The starter was forgotten and then came at the same time as the main course. The pizza was ok, as was the starter, but the cabonara tasted absolutely nothing like anything. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

It's nice to sit here, we had a lovely evening. However, the service was slightly overwhelmed.

It was a pleasure celebrating my wife's birthday with you, a really great service from your entire team, thank you for the great hours

Sono stata in questo ristorante in un viaggio di lavoro. Il ristorante non è italiano, il personale è credo turco, i piatti nel menu sono scritti sbagliati e ho preso una pasta al forno con verdure che di pasta al forno come la si intende in Italia aveva ben poco. Resta comunque un ristorante carino e pulito, con tavoli ben distanziati, musica italiana, personale gentile che offre il limoncello a fine pasto.

The staff was very friendly, the food tasted good but unfortunately it was very expensive for such a small portion...!

Great food, nice staff, price performance was very good, despite being able to get a table without a reservation on Saturday evening

Very friendly service, food perfect. We felt very comfortable.

We are very far from the flavor and taste of Italian pasta and pizza. Very friendly, warm and smiling staff. Café atmosphere and not a restaurant, modest decor: you have more the feeling of being in a Turkish fast-food restaurant than an Italian café. With all my respects, the quality of the cuisine can only meet the expectations of a clientele who has never tasted Italian cuisine. A small note: - The staff is not Italian even if they want the customers to think that way (I speak Italian well). - no digestive at the end of the meal. So.

Food and service very good perfect restaurant

The team is flexible and accommodating. Whether for a special occasion or just to enjoy delicious Italian cuisine, this place is always the right choice.

Definitely discovered a new favorite restaurant for the future. Everything just fits here for me.

We used to order a pizza weekly because they had a good offer for a variety of pizzas for 8.90€. Today, after being away from Leipzig for a while, we decided to order again with the surprise that the prices have increased considerably. A quattro formaggi pizza that used to cost 8.90€ costs 14€ now. I find these prices abusive. Sorry but we won’t be ordering again. Edited Jan 2024: Because of an email requesting to delete this comment which I personally do not see the harm on it, just the facts, I decreased my review to one star instead of three. I checked my bank account and curiously in June 2023 we paid 16€ for two pizzas and 25€ in September 2023 for the same two pizzas an it was pick up (not even delivery), we can prove that, so please accept your 35% price raise and the constructive comments

Unfortunately, the quality of the food is poor to unsatisfactory. Noodles cold and tasteless.

Wir hatten einen netten Abend bei ausgesprochen freundlichem Service. Das Essen ist von eher mittlerer Qualität. Bufala mit Tomate war ok aber nichts besonderes. Pasta mit Filetstreifen eher unterdurchschnittlich, Steinpilze mit Champions ergänzt. Unter dem Strich werden wir wohl nicht mehr hier her gehen. Nachtrag 01/24: Wir hatten zunächst mit drei Sternen bewertet und mussten nun korrigieren, weil wir über Anwalt mit der Behauptung bedroht werden, unsere Bewertung sei Fake. Nein, sie ist kein Fake, das Essen war wirklich eher unterdurchschnittlich. Vielleicht sollte man sich eher darauf konzentrieren gutes italienisches Essen frisch zuzubereiten, als ehrliche Kritik mit der juristischen Keule erschlagen zu wollen ?

Super Service, Essen sensationell, Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder

Durchweg sehr gutes Essen, von der Vorspeise bis zum Dessert. Zur Begrüßung gab es einen leckeren Secco mit irgendeinem Sirup drin.😋 Einzige Kritik, die Teller waren nicht vorgewärmt, sodass die Beilage, in unserem Fall Grillgemüse, zum Anfang Lau und während des Essens dann kalt wurde. Dem überaus netten Kellner habe ich das auch gesagt, worauf es dann abermals eine "Runde aufs Haus" gab. Das teuerste Essen liegt bei etwa 26.-€. Es gibt aber auch Nudelgerichte um die 10-15 € sowie Pizzen. Also für jeden Geldbeutel was dabei. Das Restaurant ist relativ klein und eng bestuhlt, aber alles Andere stimmt Wir kommen gerne wieder. PS. Weil man das hier nicht ankreuzen kann. Ich hatte den Vorspeise Teller Antipasti Mix und das Steak vom Schwertfisch, beides sehr zu empfehlen 😋

Die Pizza und Pasta haben uns leider enttäuscht. Beides war nicht gut gewürzt und schmeckte nicht besonders. Der Service war sehr gut und freundlich!

Sehr guter Service und sehr leckeres Essen für einen fairen Preis. 👍🏼

Ganz toller Laden, superfreundliche Bedienung, toller Service und fantastisches Essen.

Die ausnahmslos guten Rezensionen kann ich nicht verstehen. Wir wollten mit Freunden einen netten Abend verbringen. Der Tisch direkt an der Tür war nicht sehr gemütlich. Aber das wäre nicht weiter schlimm gewesen. Das Problem waren die Pasta. Ich hatte die Tagliatelle mit Steinpilzen und Rinderstreifen, sie waren völlig ungesalzen und ungewürzt, auch der Einsatz von Salz- und Pfefferstreuer konnte da keine Abhilfe schaffen. Das Fleisch war nicht wirklich angebraten und auch schon knapp über dem Haltbarkeitsdatum. Ich konnte das nicht aufessen und die Bedienung hat sich angesichts des halbvollen Tellers wohl nicht getraut, zu fragen, ob es geschmeckt hat. Die Spaghetti Carbonara meines Mannes waren auch eine Katastrophe, sehr seltsamer Schinken, kein Käse, kein Pfeffer (das Gericht heisst "Carbonara"), dafür Sahne. Pizza wäre wohl die bessere Wahl gewesen, unsere Freunde fanden sie ok. Die Cassata zum Dessert war gut. Alles in allem eine enttäuschende (und einmalige) Erfahrung.

Für uns uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert, jederzeit wieder. Toller Pizzateig lecker Nudeln Nun, das Abendessen auch hier. War genauso Klasse

Es ist im Winter ein sehr lautes Ambiente. Was ja normal ist. Das Personal sehr,sehr freundlich. Es wurde jeder Wunsch erfüllt und man musste nicht lange auf etwas warten. Das Essen ist hervorragend um nicht zu sagen, unvergesslichen. Wirklich sehr lecker. Punkt Abzug gibt es bei der Menge. Viel zu große Teller für die Portionen und der Preis dafür,für meine Begriffe, überteuert. Ich sage selten, dass ich aus einem Restaurant hungrig raus gehe, aber hier war es leider so!!! Trotz allem war es ein gelungener Abend. Vielen Dank dafür!!!

Wenn man beim Italiener (!!!) eine Gemüselasagne bestellt und die "Lasagne" weder Lasagneplatten noch Béchamelsauce enthält.. Siehe Foto. Verrückt. Wir haben die beiden "Lasagnen" aber nicht reklamiert, da es ohnehin schon eine Stunde gedauert hat, bis alleine alle aus unserer Gruppe ihre Getränke hatten. Die Kellner waren nett, aber obwohl das Restaurant nur zu einem Drittel belegt war, dauerte jede Bestellung ewig und sie kamen auch nie von alleine vorbei, um weitere Getränkewünsche aufzunehmen, sodass ihnen auf jeden Fall Umsatz entgangen ist (und wir waren aufgrund der Gruppengröße drei Stunden da). Schade, aber da werde ich nicht noch einmal hingehen.

Essen war in Ordnung. Ambiente schön und ordentlich. WC war nucht so sauber. Bedienung war, wenn sie da war nett aber es gibt anscheinend Unterschiede. Nachbartische bekamen ein Getränk zur Begrüßung und einen Gruß aus der Küche. Wir nur unser Essen. Im großen und ganzen okay aber keinen 2. Besuch wert.

Lecker Essen, freundliche Bedienung und ein guter Grappa zum Schluß auf Kosten des Hauses.

Geschmackvolles Ambiente, tolles Essen, tolle Weine, zuvorkommendes Personal, kommen gerne wieder

Sehr romantischer und chicker Italiener. Die Bedienung war super lieb und hilfsbereit, das Essen einfach toll- selbst die Tomatensauce (beispielsweise bei den Gnocci) außergewöhnlich gut. Gerne wieder:)

Wunderbare Pizzen🍕🍕, köstlicher Salat- zum 1. Advent mit meinem Mann fantastisch gegessen. Nicht zum 1. Mal- wir kommen immer wieder gern🍀⚘🍽 1- Sterne Bewerungen sind mir ein völliges Rätsel! Dahinter können vermutlich nur frustrierte Menschen stecken.

Die 1-Sterne-Bewertungen hier kann ich null nachvollziehen! Ich war mit meiner Frau schon öfters hier. Das Essen war immer lecker und der Service freundlich und top! Pizza und Pasta kann ich wärmstens empfehlen, zu den Fleischgerichten kann ich leider nichts sagen, da meine Frau und ich Vegetarier sind. Wir kommen gern immer wieder! 🍕

War ein toller Abend mit sehr gutem Essen und super netter Bedienung Das Preis Leistung Verhältnis ist top! Was besser geht, die Tische stehen teilweise eng zusammen. Privatsphäre gibt es damit nicht Habe gleich wieder eine Tisch gebucht

Tolles Ambiente, Essen weniger gut.

Beste restaurante leipsig sehr gute essen gute service

Sehr gutes Essen Hervorragend service Atmosphere sehr gut beste Restaurants Leipzig

Sehr gute Pizza in ordentlicher Größe. Die Preise sind angemessen (10-15€ für eine Pizza) und der Service sehr freundlich. Die Zutaten schmecken frisch und gut ausgewählt. Draußen kann man das Treiben auf der Karli beobachten und drin, bringt ein Servierroboter das Essen. Eine der besten Pizzas Leipzig. Wir kommen gern wieder.
