Gourmet Gossip | Stella Italianfare Ocean View Dining in La Jolla

Heavenly Italian Cuisine

Careful planning and a superb execution with one thing in mind....perfection! Founder and Chef Enzo Mauri pushes the boundaries of Italian cuisine at Stella La Jolla. New dishes are created weekly embracing the traditional flavors of his hometown Umbria, Italy.


Stella La Jolla provides a delectable experience through gourmet ingredients imported from Italy. Stella is unique due to the sourcing of fresh seasonal ingredients from local farms and producers. The combination of location and culinary magic, Stella rises to the occasion for providing an unforgettable experience.

No matter the occasion Stella provides an array of atmospheres from an intimate lounge to seats on the deck with stunning La Jolla coastline views. Enjoy a romantic epiphany with an overwhelming sensation of perfection and happiness.

This particular day friends gathered on the patio sipping signature cocktails and craft beer. Reminiscing on the past and sharing stories my eyes grew wide with delight as our charming server Antonio delivered our meal.

Words cannot even describe how delicious my Penne Pollo Broccoli & Pomodori Secchi was. Broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes in a light creamy sauce makes my mouth water just thinking about it.  Did you say fresh shaved Parmesan, Antonio? But of course, no Italian meal would be complete without it...extra sit-ups will do. 

Impressed by the portion, Marc raved about the deliciousness of his fresh fillet of Salmon sauteed in a lemon butter garlic sauce with spinach. Those of you who know me...know I don't eat fish, but today I ventured out and I'm glad I did, the fish was the perfect consistency and the sauce made for a delicious compliment.
