An exquisite dining experience awaits

Nestled in the heart of downtown Burlingame, Stella has been a cherished dining destination since 2005. The vision of Matteo and Alisa Ferrari, Stella was founded to bring the rich, soulful flavors of the Alpine region to life—featuring braised meats, risottos, pastas, and ragùs, inspired by the cherished recipes passed down from Matteo’s beloved Nonna in Valduggia, Northern Italy.

The elegant downtown space boasts a 20-seat horseshoe-shaped bar, an intimate second-floor wine bridge, and six private dining areas, including a heated, covered outdoor patio. Stella continues to offer an unparalleled dining experience where tradition meets culinary excellence.

Whether you need an intimate, private dining experience, business meeting or group event, Stella’s expanded new home features four private indoor dining rooms and two outdoor, covered/heated spaces that can accommodate anywhere from 2 to 200 guests for celebrations, business presentations or networking/cocktail hour.

Two of our dining spaces – Sidecar and Giardino – can be combined to create a private dining experience for up to 94 guests, or the entire restaurant can be booked for private groups of up to 200 guests seated or 300 guests reception style.
