We had high hopes for Stella Mia based on previous reviews. We live nearby and as recent transplants from Portland, OR, were looking for a neighborhood place to go regularly. They advertise themselves as a wine bar, yet there's no wine bar nor is there a wine bartender. Or any bartender. No big deal tonight. Our waitress was mechanical at best. We weren't told about the specials and I don't recall that she smiled or made eye contact once. The gnocchi was on the menu as "homemade" and I am certain that it is not. If you're not going to make something in-house - don't put it on your menu that it is. End of story. Don't anticipate that your clientele won't know the difference. They weren't busy, which is a red flag on a Friday night. I get it that your neighbors want to support you and make sure that you succeed, but for goodness sake, earn it! Hire more people, hire the talent that warrants the prices on your menu and the support that you are enjoying! The owner did give us a gift certificate after pointing out our disappointment with our dinner, and for that she gets an A+, but that's not going to help this restaurant succeed.
