About Stella Restaurant and Bar

Multi-level Italian dining on Chapel Street that effortlessly balances smart polish with a lively pulse. Downstairs hums around a fiery pizza oven, while upper levels reveal an intimate cocktail lounge and an open-air rooftop. Diners gravitate here for celebratory milestone nights and date-night tables, steered by intuitive floor staff who keep glasses filled without missing a beat. The kitchen turns out al dente vodka rigatoni torn with burrata, char-blistered pizzas, and fresh oysters, alongside halal-certified beef cuts like juicy scotch fillet. Later hours stretch comfortably toward midnight over spicy margaritas and espresso-laced tiramisu.

  • Multi-level layout: Spans a ground-floor oven room, a mid-level cocktail lounge, and an open-air rooftop terrace.
  • Halal-certified meats: Steaks, beef tartare, and meat dishes across the dining menu are halal-certified.
  • Late-night dining: Kitchen and bar service keeps pours and plates coming until midnight on Chapel Street.

    The venue effortlessly accommodates large group dining and milestones, delivering coordinated service and lively upper-level bar spaces for parties exceeding twenty guests.

    I visited with a large group of more than 20 friends, and the staff handled everything very well. They were friendly, professional, and the service was impressively fast even with such a big group.

  • Inclusive Fine Dining with Halal Meat

    Guests enjoy premium Italian dining with rare dietary accommodations, including certified halal meat across steak, pizza, and pasta selections.

    The meat was nicely seasoned and juicy, plus the oysters were amazingly fresh. The margarita was another banger and the drinks just tied everything together. Push a bonus would be that their meat is halal

  • Vodka Rigatoni

    They were generous with the sauce which coated the al dente rigatoni pasta perfectly.

  • Truffle Pasta

    We loved the truffle pasta (I would like it a bit more al dente) but the flavour was spot on and it had plenty of truffle.
