We began as the first business in the redevelopment of the old state hospital, now known as Grand Traverse Commons, and have worked hard to remain an indispensable and authentic member of this flourishing community.

Our journey has been intertwined with the narrative of the Grand Traverse Commons, and we've been privileged to witness and contribute to its transformation.

Trattoria Stella steadfastly stands as a shining example of exceptional hospitality in Northern Michigan and further afield. Our unyielding commitment to quality is, and always will be, the bedrock upon which our business is built.

First time in Traverse City and this was honestly one of the best restaurants I have had. Starting from the service to the food everything was excellent. For me the Burrata is a must order and extremely filling if it’s just 2. As for main dishes I love the aspect of everything being farm to table my favorite thing I tried was the Maltagliati. But they have a rotating menu so there’s something new to try almost every week. Overall amazing experience!

We absolutely loved it! This was our first time in and everything was perfect. The bartenders took the time to explain the menu, ambiance was wonderful, and the food was top notch.

Everything about Trattoria Stella was impeccable. Our food was absolutely incredible, the server was both quick and friendly (thank you Shelby!), and the atmosphere was uniquely special. The portions were quite generous, and there was plenty of variety in dishes. A reservation is highly recommended. This is a must-visit if you’re coming to Traverse City!
