La Stellina — Restaurant in Park City

Let’s play a game of ‘Guess the Chef’s Criminal Record’ at this Italian joint. Not to be harsh, but my taste buds felt like they were doing time in culinary jail after trying their 'high cuisine' dishes. Had to send back not one, but two dishes – the pasta was saltier than the Dead Sea, I kid you not. If my 5-year-old made that, I'd give him a gold star, but let's keep amateur hour out of professional kitchens, shall we?

And don't even get me started on the steak – I could've used it as a spare tire in an emergency. Gordon Ramsay would have a field day here, probably laughing harder than at an Olive Garden. If he ever graces this place with his presence, it'll be a funnier show than any comedy special.

But hey, it's not all doom and gloom. The service was top-notch, and the staff were as courteous as if they were serving a royal banquet. So, if you're in the mood for a laugh and don't mind sacrificing your taste buds, this place might just be the ticket. Otherwise, steer clear – your palate...

Drinks were not impressive.

The food was fair but over priced. Presentation was nice. Caesar salad was over citrus/lemon. Burrata was good, would have preferred the peaches to be peeled. Rigatoni was ok not very flavorful. Gnocchi did not hold up, fell apart (still mashed potatoes), meatballs were my favorite if you like spicy, squid ink linguine with garlic shrimp was mostly broth, shrimp was delicately cooked.

Really wanted to like this place but very disappointed with the service and food...

As a published food columnist in Florida I certainly feel knowledgeable to offer my review of La Stellina. For a restaurant branded with a luxury hotel this restaurant misses the mark on many targets. I have never experienced a Caesar salad dressing that was rejected by all four diners. Our eggplant parmigiana couldn’t be described as Italian. Totally deconstructed and plated as two small slices of breaded medallions with a slice of cheese. As for the other pasta dish it was flavorless and overcooked. That being said this restaurant needs an executive chef rather than a line cook. Or simply taste the food before its exits the...
