This week enjoy dinner at Stella:

"“Are we in New York” or “South Beach” or the South End? – this “very white” and “shiny” Italian star’s “loudly” “buzzing” crowds are still “making the call” over “well-thought-out”, sometimes even “dreamy” “contemporary takes” on Italian classics complemented by “unique” cocktails; but “questions” also remain regarding service that can be “so smart” one moment and “inattentive” the next." - Zagat.com

"White-on-white minimalism may lend Stella the look of a Scandinavian furniture showroom, but its coldness is more than offset by the white heat the party people who frequent it emanate. Evan and Candace Deluty hit on the right thing at the right time---a sleek spot that would serve up snappy modern Italian fare to the chic residents of a neighborhood which, for all its culinary riches, lacked precisely that. Granted, now that Rocca and Sage have followed suit, its eponymous star is dimming somewhat, but the kitchen soldiers on. Simple grilled pizzas and pastas are the highlights here, their twists on tradition still true to tradition---take a pie with a funghi medley of porcini, crimini, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, drizzled with white truffle oil, or spicy orecchiette with sausage and cured tomatoes. So the foodies feast, while fashionistas flock to the terrazzino for cocktails. In keeping with the fact that brunch is a cultural phenomenon in the South End, but not so much in Rome, the Sunday morning menu is more distinctly American---but no less fun." - Gayot.com
