Stelle D'Italia in Tunbridge Wells

We love this restaurant — it’s small and family run, with a comprehensive menu and delicious food, all at very reasonable prices. Have been coming for years now and even though we’ve recently moved away, still try to find reasons to visit. Would definitely recommend.

A brilliant authentic Italian restaurant - food and service both excellent. A real gem!

Amazing food and a very warm welcome, highly recommended

A beautiful little family run restaurant with the most delicious food and exceptional service, I went there for a family members birthday and we were all blown away by the service and fully appreciated all the effort to make us feel welcome and to make the evening very special. I could recommend this place enough! Thanks again to the the team and family at Stella d’italia! Can’t wait to come again soon!

Beautiful food, excellent advice and very friendly service. From the moment we walked in the door, a group of 7 (family and partners) we felt extremely welcomed and well looked after. We will be back as soon as is possible.

Went with my girlfriend for some dinner and had a lovely time. Wonderful food, interactive staff, beautiful atmosphere. Overall, an enjoyable night and a definite return for us!

Really lovely restaurant with very friendly staff. Food was great and we were offered a shot of Limoncello at the end of our mean. Very nice touch. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious food, all very fresh, generous portions that are full of flavour. My boyfriend and I had never visited before but were made to feel so welcome, the gentlemen waiting on us was friendly and helpful. A lovely selection of drinks and a full menu something for everyone. Will definitely be coming back! Good value for money, worth every penny 😍

This is a lovely, comfortable, family-run restaurant, always very welcoming. The food is consistently excellent, obviously made from fresh, and has a genuine regional accent that separates it from your typical Italian. I gave them five stars a couple of years ago, and it’s as good as ever.

I’ve been coming to Stella for over 2 years, at least once a month, and I’ve always had an excellent meal and been well looked after. The best Italian in the area by some margin.

Wonderful family-run trattoria… Handmade pasta was divine, and sauces were lively and flavourful. Service was friendly and attentive. We’ll be back!

The most delicious, authentic Italian meal I've had in England. An incredible wine choice, menu choice and phenomenal service. Would highly recommend

My partner and I came here for a date night, after checking on Google maps for a decent Italian, we came across Stelle D’Italia. We were so glad. The place has a great selection of quality Italian food, quality wine and reasonably priced. If we come to Tunbridge Wells again we’ll definitely come here again.

We had a great experience at Stelle D'Italia, the food and service were excellent and we enjoyed the friendly and welcoming atmosphere

Great italian food, all main courses and desserts were superb.

Without doubt, the most authentic, delicious pizza outside of Italy! Add that to the most friendly staff and clean, cozy restaurant and you won't find better unless you go to Sicily or Naples. Hats off to Thomas for making my Daughter and I feel very welcome. Thank you. 🍕 🍷 🙏

Incredible, my favourite restaurant in Tunbridge wells. The service is so warming and welcoming and the food is next level.

We had a wonderful meal for my daughters 15th birthday. The food was exquisite, the service was friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend for all occasions - thank you very much.

This was a mistake going there. First the service was so slow. We had to keep telling the waiter we were waiting for our food. When the main course arrived my friend's carbonara was so dry. His view wad that it was awful. My main course seemed as if it had been kept warm for some time as the sauce had a skin on it. The chicken breast was tough with gristle. Won't be going there again.

Fantastic food and service, we went to celebrate my mums birthday and they looked after us to ensure we had a wonderful lunch. I recommend the fish stew it was delicious!

Well, what a nice night we had. Home cooked Italian food cooked by a Sicilian couple and served by their friendly son Thomas. Food great, service great. Must try if you’re in the area!!

13 in our group to celebrate a family birthday. Everyone agreed that there was a good variety on the menu. All food was fantastic, well presented and good value for money. Service was superb and they even let us bring along our own birthday cake. Thanks for looking after us.

We enjoyed a very excellent dinner in this off the beaten track eatery. The sardinia beer is clear and crisp, fish stew flavoursome, crab ravioli in a gorgeous sauce. All perfect!

Not a particularly inviting restaurant from the outside. But the welcome and subsequent food was wonderful. A very friendly young Italian waiter, good wine and delicious food. The ragu tagliatelle was amazing. If only we were locals we would come regularly.

Gluten free pasta available. Lovely place to eat. Food is great. Reasonable prices. Will be back soon.

We booked a last minute table for date night without the kids. The food was lovely, fresh and well priced. The service was outstanding. The young man was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back here again.

You cannot get better Italian food outside Sicily than in this restaurant. The linguine with lobster and the vegeterian penne were outstanding.

Beautiful Italian meal. Fresh food, great service and lovely environment. Wide range of options for all the family. Highly recommend.

We booked a table to celebrate a birthday. After ordering the food and drinks, we waited nearly half an hour for the drinks and water to arrive. The starters took another 45 minutes and from ordering it took well over two hours for the mains to arrive. When they did finally arrive there was a long delay in all of them being brought to the table even though it was a table of four. There was no real explanation of what the holdup was other than another table had requested additional dishes. The restaurant wasn't very busy which made it more surprising and no attempt was made to redress the poor service when the bill arrived.This is a real pity as the food was great, but let down by terrible service.

Good food, great service, atmosphere okay.... Solid 4 star.

a fantastic place to eat food was great great service explained everything nothing was too much trouble recommend too everyone best wishes gill and laurence

Staying overnight nearby. Found this spot on TripAdvisor. Warm greeting. Crescenti bread worth the visit alone! Cured meats followed by tortellini and fish stew. Very tasty. Desserts delicious: we had tiramisu and semifreddo. Prices sensible. Worth 5 stars!

Ok. So I love pizza. And I think I love calzone even more. Ordered from here a week or so ago and it was superb. The crust was a little soft for me however it tasted great and wasn’t doughy at all. It was epic. So ordered tonight with a different filling and to my amazement it was even better. I spoke to the restaurant and asked for a drizzle of garlic butter and this was provided without hesitation. Really enjoyable thank you. The Quattro fromage was so good. Can I suggest a little spice? Thanks

Regulars. Absolutely love it here. Wild boar is lovely, so are their pizzas. Staff are very kind and accommodating....

Came a couple of week ago. I had a spaghetti Carbonara and my wife chose lamb Pappardelle plus a carpaccio Bresaola. Excellent home-made bread. The service was quite friendly.

Awesome italian restaurant!! The crab ravioli and the linguine frutti di mare were outstanding. Service was attentive and friendly. Definitely coming back!

I had a lovely evening meal with friends. The staff were lovely and the food very good and a very reasonable price. We will definitely be returning.

We were somewhat disappointed by the food but cannot fault the service, the house wine or the pricing. The arancini starters were lacking in flavour and the accompaniment of chips and tomato ketchup was odd. The chicken pizzaiola was tasty but the pork loin with a mustard sauce was found rather bland. However, the house red wine was very gluggable and reasonably priced and we enjoyed our interaction with Toni our waiter, who is a junior member of the Sicilian family who run this pleasant little restaurant.

Delicious food with really friendly and attentive service. Stelle D’Italia’s extensive menu has something for everyone, so definitely give it a try!

Excellent Food and really nice service!

Tiny restaurant but excellent food. Most Italian Italian in the area. Excellent service. We will be back most certainly.

Lovely food in a family run restaurant.

Fantastic food and brilliant staff. Couldn’t be better! Thank you Thomas

Really nice Italian restaurant, exceptional food and attentive service.

A very good Italian restaurant which we enjoyed dinner in on a recent visit to the area. Good home cooked food, friendly and efficient service and reasonable prices.

The atmosphere is very charming and the service is nice and welcoming. Been twice at this restaurant, had a vulcano pizza and a tiramisu the first time, carbonara pasta and a cannolo the second time and haven't been disappointed! The food is very tasty and the portions are great. Totally recommend!

I was really surprised by this place! Came with no expectations, to find attentive service and really top quality food. The flavour was absolutely packed in - as a non-Italian, it seemed really authentic to me. Would very much recommend.

Excellent restaurant. Polite, helpful service. Enjoyable food whether a main or pizza. Very helpful and flexible regarding ingredients for gluten-free and other dietary needs (FODMAP).

Amazing dinner with Ravioli 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Visited here for the first time last night, but it won’t be the last by any means ! The staff (family run) were very friendly but more important the food was excellent. Will most certainly be visiting again in the near future

Our friends we were dining with booked this restaurant on recommendation from a work colleague. The service and food, which is all freshly made were excellent. Would highly recommend and look forward to a return visit.

This Italian restaurant was a real find. The staff are so lovely and friendly and the food is fantastic (and well priced). The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and presents so well. Parking is easy with Crescent Road carpark just around the corner. Highly recommend!

Lovely simple food (unfortunately no ciders)

Excellent service and great food.

We called into this restaurant based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. The outside does not do it justice as the interior is very nice. The welcome was very friendly and polite and the menu had lots of choice. The food was really good and although they apologised for the wait between courses, we were not worried by the short gap. We had a very good evening and the price was reasonable. We would recommend this restaurant and would visit again if in the area.

Everything we were looking for in an Italian. The pizza was very good but especially the pasta was top notch. So good. Waiting staff was absolutely lovely and prices more than moderate. They did have fernet branca which was the cherry on top for me. We will absolutely come back!

We were staying in TW and decided to book here having read the reviews. We were not disappointed as the food, service and atmosphere was excellent. All the food arrived piping hot, the portions were really good and we all agreed everything was deliicous. The linguinie with tiger prawns and langoustines being especially good. Very good value and will definitely return when visiiting TW.

This restaurant is excellent. The food is incredible, we had the crab ravioli and the lobster linguine. One of the best Italian restaurants we have been to. It is run by a family from Sicily and they are all so welcoming. Thomas served us and so professional but at the same time very easy to chat to. We will definitely be returning with the whole family

A little treasure. Great food and very friendly service. We had caprese salade, soup, swordfish, mushroom tagliatelle, sorbet and panna cotta,

Lovely restaurant! Great food and nice interior. Will definitely be coming back again.

What a fabulous find. The food was amazing, very fresh and authentic Italian. We all had a different dish and each one delicious. We ended up having 3 courses! The service was excellent, friendly and attentive without breathing down your neck! Will definitely be returning when visiting RTW. PS The Grappa was so good we all had another shot!

Wow, fabulous meal. We all had different starters, main course and desserts and every one of them was delicious. Best Italian restaurant offers very fresh and good quality Italian food. Highly recommended.

Very wonderful food, service. Lovely decor. Relaxed atmosphere. Classic.

Amazing food. Great waiters and very well priced. Perfect for a quiet dinner.

Excellent food and service at a reasonable price tonight.

Tried Stelle D'Italia for the first time last night, and really glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious, and reminded us of how food tastes in Italy. Dario, our waiter was a lot of fun too, and made us feel really welcome. I thoroughly recommend this lovely restaurant that serves authentic Italian food with a cosy atmosphere. We will definately be returning.

What a gem of a find! This little family-run restaurant was the perfect place for a romantic dinner. My partner and I shared an arancini starter, followed by some delectable tortellini and boar ragu tagliatelle. We even had space for dessert - tasty tiramisu, blood orange sorbet and an espresso. The staff were attentive and fun to chat to, and the prices for the meals are really reasonable too, given the genereous portion sizes. If we lived in RTW, we would happily return here over and over again!

My partner and I had a great first dinner upon arrival in RTW for the BH weekend. We were welcomed warmly, even though we had not book a table in advance. The service we received throughout was friendly and helpful, but staff that take time to get to know their guests is a rare quality. Our choices of food - arrancini starter, pork cheek ragu (with pine nuts, as standard), tortellini, tiramisu and blood orange sorbet - were a delight and presented well, even down to the crockery these were served in. In addition the wine choices were great, as were the extra drinks on the side. If you can visit here, as a couple, with friends and as a family - just do! Recommended.

Tasty food in generous portion sizes. We had arancini (shared), parma ham and mushroom tortellini and the boar ragu tagliatelle; the pasta was fresh and homemade and simply delicious. Dessert was tasty tiramisu and blood orange sorbet. Friendly, attentive staff. If we lived here, this would be our chosen place for italian food!

Definetly the best Italian restaurant in Kent! Was looking for a nice place to have dinner after a long day at work and we randomly walked in in this amazing place! Staff Dario was very welcoming, professional and advised the best dishes on the menu. Food was absolutely delicious, really tasty and good portion also! I will definetly come back and recommend to my friends.. great experience!

Restaurant #1 in the whole Kent I my opinion, amazing food, genuine ingredients, superb drinks (best Negroni and Margarita ever)..and coffee..no comment..completely forgot I was in England as every single bite has brought me back in Italy..Dario was very friendly and helpful in the menu choice..amazing atmosphere, good Italian music..highly recommended.. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu😛

Great welcome....delicious food. This was my second visit & I will definitely be back!

Absolutely beautiful food!!!! Such good quality and so well presented. So much to chose from on the menu. The bruschetta and sea bass are divine. Dario is great and gave us a good welcome! We enjoyed it so much we came back with a friend too. We’d definitely recommend.

We dined at Stelle d'Italia last night. Such a lovely welcome as soon as we came through the door. Our waiter looked genuinely pleased to see us and was so attentive all night (without being overbearing!). We had an absolutely lovely meal - fresh mushroom parpadelle, chicken pizzaiola, lasagna - cooked to perfection and finished off with some complimentary limoncello. Reasonably priced and a lovely experience. Definitely returning, thank you!

Great food, great atmosphere, and reasonably priced. Recommended!

Tasty food,brilliant service ,relaxing ambience What else you need!

I and my partner enjoyed excellent quality food, in the company of very friendly and helpful staff.

Went on a Tuesday evening. Had a very warm welcome from a lovely Sicillian man. Service was very good. Food excellent. Pizza was one of the best i’ve had. Lovely base. My partners Crab Ravioli was very good too. Really nice restaurant, with authentic italian food. Definitely worth a visit. Very reasonable prices too.

A very engaging welcome was followed by great service (even though the waiter had only worked there for 2 weeks - he must fitted straight in). Everyone enjoyed their meal. Definitely recommended.

6 of us had a delightful evening, great service from Dario & delicious food from the chef. Well worth visiting.

We arrived a bit after hours and Dario, attended us outstandingly with really good dish suggestion and a great service. We certainly will be back and strongly recommended the Stella D'Italia to all!

Came here last night with my husband and 2 daughters. The service was outstanding, as was the food! It was absolutely delicious, well priced, we can't wait to be back!

The waiter was so friendly and attentive. Very good at noticing small details (like refilling our water for us etc) to really add to our experience. The food was beautiful and very authentic and the limoncello was the perfect ending to the meal. We will definitely be back.

Incredible food and wonderful service. Would 100% recommend

First rate. Very much RTW Style. Best to book, even if just courtesy. Fair go..

I went with my friends after skating to eat at this restaurant. It was my first visit and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food is very tasty, the service exceptional. I will gladly return whenever I want to eat quality food. Thank you very much. Congratulations everyone.

A quiet evening meal in a pleasantly welcoming atmosphere.

Food was delicious, authentic Italian... Reminded me of Italy with every bite. Would go there again. It set quite the high standards in my Italian food perspective... So I guess I'll have to come here every time we want italian❤️

Wonderful small cosy Italian restaurant! Perfect food and service. Great atmosphere and very friendly head waiter and owners. Will definitely be back and highly recommended!!!

Wow! Just yum Must visit place for Italian food! ❤️

Really enjoyed the meal along with the service last night.Great choices on wine.This is a Fantastic place to bring your family along.Food is tastly and served on time.Really enjoyed and will be back for christmas.

We found the restaurant through Google reviews and the food was beyond delicious. The service was also very good and the place was very friendly.

Mediocre at best. Wines aren’t good, service was fine, food not so good, the seafood wasn’t fresh.

We had a lovely meal last night , the service was impeccable and the food Devine Was first time going won’t be the last , little Italian gem in the centre of town xx thanks for making my friends birthday special

Service was well-paced, staff very friendly and attentive and food was delicious. Nothing to complain about, really, so highly recommend.
