Stella Pasta Bar & Bistro Seven Points Brewery, Schenectady NY

Great food, great service. Only reason I’m leaving a 4 out of 5 star review is because they only offer happy hour when seated at the bar, otherwise I highly recommend this spot!

Found this place tonight, absolutely loved it. Food was excellent. Staff was great. The Brewery was very good. I had the Beckenbauer.
Highly recommend Stella Pasta Bar & Bistro

My wife and I ate here this past Friday night, we did a walk in which was the last one they had. We talk to one of the owners and he recommended reservations even for a party of two. Food was very good I had cheese raviolis, my wife got linguini (that was the shape of spaghetti) w/ meat sauce. Bread and olive oil was also very good. Kelly was our server and she was very good, very attentive to what we needed, I would recommend her.
We will be back to try some of the other dishes we saw go by our table.

Discovered this place when my favorite place for wings was closed. Wings were delicious, will be back to try more!

I am so happy that Stella moved to this location. The ambiance is cozy and beautiful & I love what they have done to it with their own touches and style. The food is excellent - we enjoyed everything.the zucchini fries were so delicious and the Veal Marsala was perfection and the service was top notch. The staff is so very attentive and friendly. It's also so nice to go out to dinner and get a small salad included with your meal along with a generous basket of yummy bread and it's also so nice to see reasonable prices! The new cocktail menu is also so impressive and we were so pleased with our choices! We enjoy Stella and as long as you are there, we will keep coming back!

Well if 5 stars across the board does not properly convey how pleased we were with everything the entire crew did at Stella's for our big event, then let me perfectly clear. These guys nailed it. From the very beginning, working with Chef John, Chris & Alex and the entire Stella's staff was a pleasure. We wanted to hold our wedding reception at Stella's because we had our very first date at the Van Dyck. We intended to use the upstairs event space, these guys gave us the entire building. We told them we wanted a very non-traditional reception (we had a 70s themed disco party) and they worked with us every step of the way to make that a reality. We expressed how important it was that the food was on point and that there was plenty of it. Well, if anyone left our event hungry, it was their own damn fault! The food was delicious! From the hot and cold antipasto that covered a giant table for our cocktail hour, to the several different varieties of pasta and salads and sides that were put out for the dinner. Every single thing was fresh, delicious and there was plenty of it. The servers spent the entire event walking around making sure all the guests were happy and that the whole building looked as good at the end of the night as it did in the beginning. Even at the very end of the night, when we had to get the dance floor out of the dining room because there was another party scheduled first thing in the morning, the kitchen crew came out and made it happen without thinking twice about it. People are still stopping us to tell us what a great event it was and how good everything was. Stella's delivered. We were regulars before, but we are loyal patrons now! Thanks again to everyone who did such an amazing job! You made it a night we will never forget!

Service was great! I do not recommend the Alfredo. It was more like a chicken soup. Very weird and disappointing!

The food and drinks are great! But what makes everything better? A fantastic bar staff! We Had such a great time and didn’t want to leave.
We will definitely be back!

I would like to thank Chef & Owner John and Chris and Ali, General Manager, Char, Angela, Server, Gabby, Bartender for making my Daughter’s Bridal Shower a huge success! The food and service was outstanding! My Guests raved about the Quiche, Crabcake Sandwich, Cavitelli and Vodka Sauce, Arancini Balls, and more! The many flavored Mimosa’s and Bloody Mary’s were a big hit too! I highly recommend Stella’s Pasta Bar your choice of Venue for your next event! I would give 10 ’s if allowed!

The food and service was excellent. The music was really loud and found it hard to carry on a conversation

Got into town late and had dinner here. Will be Eating here every time i visit schenectady. Food was great and live band playing music.great staff great food great service at a reasonable price.

I love the food, delicious! A very large building with many dining rooms so a large party is not going to be bothersome. Taco Tuesday, start the week with a new Taco. Friendly servers always attentive. Also they have a large parking lot. What else could you want?

After being a longtime customer of the VanDyke for many years, I’m so happy that Stella has moved into the beautiful space.
The service is great and it’s always a pleasure having Jeffrey behind the bar. His knowledge, experience and professionalism while bartending is top notch. He’s always very informed on the menu items as well. Always a tough decision to eat outside on the patio or at the bar!
We’ve enjoyed many delicious meals and love getting the email from Stella each Tuesday announcing the specials for the week.
Definitely give it a try for drinks or dinner out! You won’t be disappointed!

This place has really good Italian food, good staff and some evening the best live music. What else can you ask for?
The bread is amazing but don’t fill up on it as the food is awesome. We had chicken parm and ravioli the other night and the food was just soo good.
Make sure you get a reservation!

Four friends only one could say dinner was good. Risotto was way over cooked MUSH.chicken Bland. My friend could not find the lobster in the lobster ravioli… eggplant parm was Meh. I had cavatelli with Alfredo chicken…. It was ok.
