Stellini

This place is great. Food is excellent. Wait staff is fun and attentive. Owners are present engaging and wonderfully hospitable. We had the stuffed mushroom appetizer it was amazing. For entrees I had the lasagna and my wife had tortellini with bolognese both were fantastic. We’ve been coming to Hilton head for over ten years sorry we hadn’t discovered Stellini sooner. Make it a priority to go to you’ll enjoy every bite. Had to find but well worth the search.

Worst Italian restaurant in Hilton Head. Why? The house salad was «drowned» in the balsamic dressing — so much so that, in my opinion, was inedible. Yes I could have asked for another salad but if they were a «good» restaurant Their mushrooms taste like canned mushrooms, the meatballs, again in my opinion, had the consistency of paste — no texture at all. And no the restaurant was not busy where they could be excused The restaurant décor itself is in desperate need of a refresh. Pricing is middle of the road comparable to some other Hilton Head restaurants. Not worth a visit. There are much better Italian restaurants in Hilton Head for the price. Will not dine there again.

We found them ‘accidentally’ and it was great. My wife — being Italian, is very picky about ‘sauce’ and theirs is great… not too sweet and not too tart. A perfect blend with just the right amount of tomato chunks. I had the Chicken Parmigiana and she had the Eggplant Parmigiana — both were excellent and more than adequate portions. Next time we’re in Hilton Head, we’ll be sure they’re one of our dinner stops.

My sister and I come to Hilton Head every year and try to find new places to try. We thought we would try this restaraunt. Wish we had kept looking. The food was not what we expected and although the price was pretty normal for a dinner out on Hilton Head it should have included your bread. Our food was only sup par for the price… it was nothing to brag about. Our waitress was good at first but when she got a bigger table than the two of us it was like she forgot us. We didn’t like the food and didn’t like the service so we won’t be going back.

We found this place on Unilocal while in Coligny Plaza. We called and they were able to seat is right away. When we got there, we were overcome with the smells when we walked it. The Parmasean cheese was very fresh!
Our meals were great. The Capellini Pomodoro and Capellini Marinara were excellent. Our wine choices were average, so some room for improvement.
We will definitely be back here again.

This place is VERY good. Service is prompt, attentive, and nice. Lacking a bit in atmosphere, but the chicken parm makes up for it.

Went on our trip this past week. Service was outstanding! I ordered the Chicken Pancetta and it was awesome. My wife ordered the tortellini alla Panna and hers was excellent as well. Would for sure go back again!

Very good Italian food and the service is good. The lady was very good at taking our order, even when we were a large group of 12! Service is fast and food is tasty. Price could be a little cheaper for the portion size but good experience overall.

I have been coming here with my family for many years and each year continues to get better. It makes our vacation to HHI well worth it. The island’s best Italian food. The owner’s and staff are very friendly and super nice. Early bird specials for average $ 16 per person with wine +salad + appetizer + main course, CAN’T BEAT IT with excellent food ! love this place. Look forward to it yearly.

Very good italian food. Closest you can get to Jersey or NY Italian food in Hilton Head. Friendly and attentive staff. Balsamic salad dressing was a big hit with our group.

We had an excellent meal here! Frank Sinatra in the background a a beautiful view out into the garden, with excellent service. We’ll be going back!

Not our first choice but a very pleasant surprise. Arrived early and took advantage of the early bird specials. I am Italian and grew up eating my Nonna’s cooking and this was like eating with family. Bravo.

This place was tucked back from the road and looked quiet when we first arrived for the early bird dinner from 5 – 5:45. We were allowed in a little early since it was hot out and we had a baby with us. The early bird menu is $ 16.95 for 3 courses including a glass of house wine. Two of us ordered the early birds and the other three had veal dishes. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The back room faces out into a beautiful lush greenery. It was very peaceful. The food was good. There were no complaints.

The dining room’s new look totally refreshes the place. The service is genial and prompt. Pick a pasta! Any pasta! To die for garlic bread. Pay attention to the specials. They are usually special! Kyla and Elise make everyone extra welcome!

I really struggle with this restaurant. The service is always very poor, to the point of being laughable at times. I’ve actually had a server tell me «no» when I wanted to order an additional loaf of garlic bread… which they charge you for by the way, but is well worth the cost. The food however is always a 4 or 5, and keeps me coming back. So I guess that equals 3 stars in my book. Overall, it’s a pretty good value for the quality of food.
Favorite dish — Chicken Pancetta, and did I mention the garlic bread?

We ate here last Tuesday evening and the food was very good. Really a 3.8 experience as far as the food.
I had the chicken with broccoli and prosciutto (which was really badly cut pieces of bacon not fully done) in a white cream sauce. I just avoided the bacon and all was fine. Wifey had the eggplant parmesan and she really liked it. We brought home enough food for two more dinners, not lunches. PLEASE NOTE, there is only one Stellini’s, not two. Stellini’s and Stellini’s Italian ARE THE SAME THING. It’s one block from the front of Sea Shack right off Pope Ave.
Owner greeted us, very nice. Waitress was older than us, very nice but not knowledgeable. Décor is dated but clean. It IS NOT a 1.5 or 2.0 as others have reviewed.
We will go back for the food since we live here.

Food fairly good. Atmosphere kind of dark and dingy — didn’t feel like we were at the beach.

Stellini is not one of the better Italian restaurants on Hilton Head. Pazzo and Bella Italia, Frankie Bones. so many others are better – and cheaper. We couldn’t believe how much we paid for and okay meal. The décor is alittle old too.

I have eaten at Stellinis many years and have liked the food pretty much. I have twice tried their early bird special which has been a huge disappointment .I like early bird dining, the portions are smaller as is the price. At Stellinis we ordered the veal scallopini marsala .It came with soup a glass of wine and the veal which was smothered in spagetthi. The spaghetti covered the veal which we had to dig to find it .It was tiny no bigger than a silver dollar. I found this outrageous that for $ 15 you got a tiny piece of veal. Perhaps the thought of receiving wine and soup would soften the blow of so little veal. WELL IT DIDN’T.After going here for over 12 years I have written this restaurant off my list .I like veal and other restaurants provide you with a fair portion, but not Stellinis .I feel that if a restaurant can insult you with such a miniscule piece of meat, it doesn’t deserve my business, which is too bad because the food is good.

Very good Italian at a much better price then other Italian competition on Island.
The staff is very friendly especially the owners. I have been many times and have yet to have a bad meal.
