La Stella Trattoria

So good! So tasty! Large size portions , delicious food , attentive gals around - will certainly be back ! P.s. There were three caniollis on the plate , but we have got so excited to try them on so that I completely forgot to take a picture of them! And they were simply divine! Parking: You need to be one of the early customers in order to park near the front of the restaurant . But there are other parking options in the neighborhood, all good.

We loved loved loved this little gem of a restaurant. It was fully booked when we arrived but we loitered for a little while and the friendly staff were able to bag us a table on the terrace outside, under a beautiful tree. The pasta was EXCELLENT, really, cannot recommend highly enough, and the wine was also good. Only wish we lived nearer so we could go back. Would recommend you reserve a table to be sure you get to eat here. Vegetarian options: The asparagus was DELICIOUS.

My wife has spent months trying to convince me that La Stella is the best restaurant in Nanaimo. She was proven right tonight . We sat at the bar and shared three dishes which were all exquisitely prepared and presented . It was only public embarrassment and decorum that prevented me from licking my plate . Take my wife’s advice and experience La Stella for yourself …… and try a seat at the bar , where you experience first hand the ingenuity and efficiency that makes this place special.
