Earlier this year, it was reported that an Italian Restaurant in Boston was planning to be reborn west of the city, and now we have learned that it is up and running.
According to an Instagram post from the place, Stella has opened in Newton, moving into a space on Commonwealth Avenue on the northern edge of Newton Centre and being run by Evan Deluty who was also behind the original restaurant. A boston.com article mentions that this incarnation of the dining spot is smaller than that of its space on Washington Street in the South End where it resided for 15 years until closing in 2020, as it includes a total of 15 seats and does not have a bar, though it looks like a beer and wine license could eventually be acquired.
In addition to Italian dishes, the Newton location of Stella also offers some Jewish items, including matzo ball soup, cheese blintzes, and potato latkes.
The address for the new location of Stella is 549 Commonwealth Avenue, Newton Centre, MA, 02459.
