Stella Sopra Italian Food Truck — Restaurant in Bellingham

Incredibly authentic Italian food at great prices. It's very rare to find an authentic Italian restaurant north of San Francisco and even in Seattle it's hard to find a restaurant that hasn't been pretty Americanized. You're not going to find a lot of butter used in the dishes at Stella Sopra. That's an incredibly authentic way of cooking Italian food.

The location snug next to the Tulip Valley Winery just cries Tuscan and Emilia-Romagnan vineyards and villas. It's so fitting that this lovely restaurant/truck is located in Skagit Valley because the owner/chef is from the region of Emilia-Romagna, the bread-basket of Italy nestled in the extremely fertile Po River Valley. Restauranteurs in Italy are picking up on the food truck trend and visiting Stella Sopra is very similar to visiting the food trucks in Milan.

It is such a treat to be able to get authentic Italian food in the Pacific Northwest. The location is gorgeous and being able to sample PNW wines and enjoy Italian food while gazing out at the North Cascade Foothills cradling our beautiful valley is just a delight.

Try the gnocchi al gorgonzola. Omiodio, so rich and delicious. It is such a great dish to enjoy while wine tasting. The tiramisu is made with genuine espresso and even questioning its source of coffee is a near affront to the wonderful chef's skills and love of his culture and food. Do be careful to not inhale the cocoa powder, though!

You will NOT be disappointed if you visit this food truck. In fact, you will thank yourself and have a new...

Perfetto! Stupefacente! Spettacolare! OK I don't know Italian at all (thanks Google Translate!) but I do know when I'm eating delicious food prepared with flawless attention to detail, and without sparing any detail - and the Stella Sopra food truck serves it! As a family of vegetarians we were especially impressed by the wealth of options for us - even the Caesar salad dressing was vegetarian (no anchovies!) so we could eat that too. For entrees we had the manicotti, pesto lasagna, and eggplant lasagna and all were excellent. We also had tiramisu and cheesecake for the dessert. The tiramisu was the best we're ever had - a perfect balance of flavors.

We visited Stella Sopra when they were at the Tulip Valley Winery BUT we will be following them and going wherever they go in the future. They also park at Menace Brewing Co in Bellingham and we are going...

Hands down the best Italian food in town. The owner was very nice when I just stopped by to ask about when they closed and when I actually tasted the food it was all over. I got the ravioli special which was, at the time, cod, curry, and saffron in some kind of lemon cream sauce and it was phenomenal. This was weeks ago that I visited and I still have dreams of that ravioli. I could taste how much care was put into the preparation and the fact their pasta is made themselves made it all 10 times better. 15 out of 10 I must...
