Your Neighborhood Italian Restaurant in Kenwood

Handmade pasta, wood-fired cooking, and seasonal Northern California ingredients, served with warm hospitality in the heart of Sonoma Valley.

From the family behind Glen Ellen Star, Stella brings people together over Italian food and a good bottle of wine. Join us for a relaxed weekend lunch, dinner after a day exploring wine country, or an evening with friends around the table.

Italian Roots. Sonoma Ingredients.

Our kitchen takes its inspiration from Italian traditions and the farms around us. Freshly made pasta, a mozzarella bar, and dishes from our wood-fired grill anchor a seasonal menu made for sharing. A thoughtfully chosen wine list brings together bottles from Sonoma, Napa, and beyond.

Come for a favorite dish or find something new.
