10/10! The food, atmosphere and service was incredible! Our server Matt was PHENOMENAL and has raised the bar for service staff; a simply wonderful experience and we can’t wait to return to eat our way through the menu. Also, it was my husband’s birthday and they had a hand signed birthday card on our table from their whole staff; beyond thoughtful!!!!!

Savannah was our server. She was phenomenal! The sommelier was great and made some phenomenal wine recommendations as well. The food though was seriously out of this world. Savannah was amazing at answering questions and helping us understand what we were ordering. I’d highly recommend google image searching the menu prior to arrival and just go ahead and eat with your eyes and figure out what looks the best. It didn’t let us down. This will be one our regular date night without the kids restaurants to add to our rotation of fine dining. The icing on the cake was the personalized signed birthday note from the staff. I’ve eaten ar a lot of restaurants with birthday reservations and never ever have we had such a personalized awesome experience!

Absolutely amazing experience. Our server Matt was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and service was impeccable. Gnocchi was some of the best I’ve ever had. Lasagna was delicious as well but the portion size was slightly small. Classy and close ambiance. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff signed a card. We’re given a complimentary dessert and appetizer for the special day. So far best upscale dining experience in Knoxville. This was our parties first visit and it will not be our last for celebrations to come!

My wife and I ate on the patio on 10/22 for our anniversary. The impression I gained from our dinner experience was their attention to detail which is rare these days. They even wrote a congrats for our anniversary card signed by multiple of their team! (We indicated our anniversary when booking online) Our server, Savannah, was fantastic. She provided a great experience and she enjoyed helping us with our selections in the menu. The food was top shelf stuff. Amazing wine options. They know their selections well. One of the guys even took the time to inform us he was turning on the overhead heater on the patio, and to let him know if it was too warm for us…. Attention to detail was on point…Bravo Osteria Stella.

Matt was the best server. We went here with my brother and sister in law from out of town. Everything was just perfect. Perfect date night place!

Amazing ambience with beautiful dried flower chandeliers. Came for our two year wedding anniversary and did the full course with drinks/wine (don’t skip out and do anything less). Sat us in a private booth, and allowed us 2 hours to experience everything to the fullest. Although everyone was top notch friendly, gotta give a shout out to our girl Olivia for her impeccable recommendations and hospitality. If you want to try a true slice of Italy in it’s true form, this is the place.

First time trying Osteria Stella and if you are looking for upscale authentic Italian dining, this is the spot for you! I ordered the Risotto and it was absolutely delicious. Cocktail menu features lots of traditional and fun Italian drinks along with some other classics. I ordered an espresso martini which I would highly recommend. Food is for sure on the pricier side but I have tried most all the Italian restaurants in Knoxville and honestly nothing compares. Staff was knowledgeable on the menu and helpful when ordering. Atmosphere was really chill and dark and I could have a conversation with my partner without raising my voice which is alway nice. I personally think it’s worth the $, but understand a place like this isn’t for everyone. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu:)

We love love love to sit on the patio here. We feel like we are in Europe. Ask for the focaccia but add a side of their whipped ricotta if they still have it.
