- SStefanSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoYou can’t beat Luciano’s for atmosphere, and when you can find a good Italian restaurant with veal parmigiana on the menu, you go for it! It’s what we might have called back in New Jersey “a classy joint!”More infoLuciana's RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.6
- JJeffreyNew Jersey •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe found our new "home table" a high top in the small bar area. It was perfect, the greeting, the service and the two specials. We had a wonderful evening and the bar was quiet so we could talk and enjoy ourselves.More infoCiao PastaPrice: Moderate• Italian• San Juan Capistrano•4.8
- MMarieOrange County •7 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 3, 2025We went to Stella's last night for Happy Hour. It's a beautiful restaurant but not fussy. Happy Hour is served only at the bar or at 3 tall tables so seating is sort of limited for the Happy Hour but we sat at one of the taller tables and it was great. The HH menu is extensive. There are about 23 items listed for whatever mood you might be in--seafood, salad, pastas, etc. We ordered the carpaccio, penne Bolognese, crab cakes and the scallops. Everything was delicious! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We all ordered drinks and they, too, were perfectly crafted. We were very impressed and will definitely be back.More infoStella'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.5
