"Stella is what we refer to as a “Capital R” restaurant. And by that we mean, if you’re heading to this swanky Italian spot in West Hollywood, don’t be afraid to throw on a designer dress or your best blazer beforehand. Stella is a scene (expect plenty of famous people to walk by), but one where the hoopla feels warranted because the food is fantastic. Think regionally-specific dishes you don’t often see on LA menus: octopus-stuffed tortellini en brodo, whole branzino carpaccio, and cassata siciliana, a Sicilian ricotta cake with chocolate and pistachio. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
