Stella's Restaurant & Pizza — Restaurant in Torrington

This was our first time ordering here. I’d like to give a new place a little time to work out the bugs before we try them. First of all the delivery was extremely fast. I like it when they underpromise and overdeliver. My husband had a craving for carbonara. This is one of the few places in town that we found it on the menu as fettuccine carbonara with bacon, onions, and peas. Not being an onion fan, I asked if we could hold the onions and have spaghetti instead of fettuccine. After a brief hold I was told that everything is made from scratch and it was not a problem. A person on the phone even read the order back to me. I also ordered a small cheese pizza just because I wanted to see what their pizza was like. And finally we ordered the cheesy garlic bread. They were very close to a higher rating, however they forgot the peas in the carbonara, which was a big bummer. The garlic bread and pizza were a little undercooked. Other reviews had said the pizza had a chewy crust, which this did as well. I believe it is because it needed to be cooked just a bit longer. The garlic bread was cold and you could see some of the garlic spread still not melted. I have included two pictures because one is before I put it under the broiler for a few minutes and the other is after. After being broiled, both the pizza and cheesy garlic bread were much better. Had it not been for the peas missing this would have been a five star rating. Would order...

Ordered through a third party app. First time trying and impressed with reviews. Delivery was shockingly quick, probably less than 20 minutes from hitting “place order.” Problem was food was a bit off. Calzone looked unlike any other I’ve had and was very greasy but not necessarily wrong. Tasted fine, but not nearly enough marinara (it isn’t like I’ve ever needed extra before). The chicken piccata that was ordered was almost inedible. Chicken was fatty and off-color, barely any lemon flavor. The pasta wasn’t very good, and lack of lemon sauce obviously couldn’t save it. Dessert ordered was $5.95 and expected a sharable small piece. Received what looks like a 3”x3” square....not exactly sharable and not almost $6 worth. Could definitely be a fluke experience, especially considering order was at end of day and during a pandemic where restaurants are likely struggling. It’s just discouraging to pick this place when there’s decent competition in the area. Likely won’t...

Horrible experience. First time I call and order and was highly disappointed. I ordered a bbq chicken pizza. The woman on the phone taking my order asked if I was a new customer and I told her I was. Pizza arrives and has bacon on it. We don’t eat pork in this house. I call them up to tell them there’s been a mistake and the owner tells me he can’t do anything about it. All I wanted was a refund so I can feed my family. I paid $50 for 2 pizzas and can’t even eat them smh. He argued with me stating his menu been the same for 5 years. I told him I don’t have a menu i googled their menu and it didn’t show the ingredients in the description. There was no description! I sent him the email showing him where the problem was and still he did not budge to correct the problem but instead sends me a picture of his menu. Whatever I just know I’ll never call them again and they lost what could have been a...
