Through seasonally-inspired, authentic Italian cooking, Stellina’s mission is to bring a small piece of Italy to Oyster Bay. The specially-crafted menu will include a variety of spuntini, pasta, pizzas, and more.

Delicious food! Went for Mother's Day 2026 and the reservation was easy to make and they confirmed everything for the day with me ahead of time. Ordered within a reasonable amount of time, toast was delicious. Everyone had a great meal and the servers were very kind.
