For being born and raised Italian I usually don't go to Italian restaurants for I would always find something to criticize about their food. Stresa Italian Restaurant got me! For starters the place is decorated beautiful and dressed with fine fresh bouquet of flowers everywhere. They make sure you feel welcomed the minute you walk in. We had the best octopus for appetizers prepared delicately in a light lemon sauce. For our pasta course we chose linguini fruitti di mare which had shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels in a light garlic sauce that had a ton of flavor. Than for main entree we shared the veal osso buco along with the angostino oregonato which is baby lobster stuffed with seasoned breadcrumbs which I couldn't stop eating even though I was full. They have a huge selection of homemade desserts which for sure you will find a favorite! So if your looking for a great Italian restaurant you must try Stresa. Coming from a real Italian this says it all! Worth the drive if you don't live close by!
Awesome place! Definitely a nice place to go. Will go back again. Great food and friendly atmosphere.
Outrageously good. The food is a level beyond the best you've had and the service is literally perfect. Highly recommended. A true gem!

A favorite of my whole family, a standout in the Italian cuisine space because it's authentic AND modern at the same time. Recommend emphatically.

We went on New Years Eve and had a great time. Every dish we ordered was impressive, the chicken with shrimp was quite delicious. The service and atmosphere was excellent and very festive. The
prices are on the high side but the overall experience was memorable.
Owned by a father and sons. Like being invited to their home. My wife and I had yet another fantastic dinner!
Had my wife's birthday party there - 20 people. MARVELOUS TIME!!!!
From the time we walked in until the time we left wonderful, pleasant, attentive service and the food was great. You must try the lamb chops and chicken.
To the staff, management, and owner THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Stresa Ristorante! From the greetings, to the wine, thoughtful appetizers that just appeared, the specials and the menu, all were delectable in every possible way. Stresa’s owners, who worked the floor as only pros can, to the wait staff, and everything in between, it was a wonderful and personalized experience. My husband and I are in love ….. with Stresa Ristorante!!
Excellent,authentic ,fresh Italian cuisine. Accommodating, friendly & polite staff. Your treated like family
Was greeted by a gentleman, we had reservations, was my cousins birthday, started off w/Tom./mozzarella, I had lemon sole w/veg. Then they sang HB, brought out slice of cheese cake, choc. Cake & apple strudel sort of. Was very thoughtful of them. Would go again. Oh before I forget their liquid soap dispenser had the best smell, to was hands, somet lavender? Chao…
The best Italian cuisine around. The family owned restaurant and the entire staff make you feel special and service is fantastic
On this busy Saturday night, we didn't have a reservation but we were greeted so nicely and offered a seat at the cozy bar to wait a table. We had well made drinks in this cozy space. We were seated much sooner then expected and enjoyed a top quality meal. Broad menu, efficient service and a huge surprise for dessert which I won't ruin fir you except to say save room. Thank you for your gracious welcome and dinner.
