Stelline Italian Kitchen

Stelline Italian Kitchen is a neighborhood Italian restaurant in NE Minneapolis, putting a Travail spin on Italian food. Handmade pasta meets globally inspired flavors and unexpected combinations in a playful, contemporary take on Italian cooking. Rooted in traditional pasta-making but far from traditional Italian, Stelline is a neighborhood spot with a little something unexpected around every plate.
