Meet our pork chop 🍖🍅

A bone-in pork chop pounded bigger than the board, breaded, fried golden, then crowned with marinated cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil. Hot and crunchy meets cold and juicy in every single bite.

There’s 8 generations of Portofino cooking behind this Italian cutlet. No shortcuts, no apologies.

A night at our table, in one carousel 🍝🍷

We’re proud to bring eight generations of Portofino recipes to the Golden Triangle, and this lineup says it all. Start the evening with wine, spritzes, and our Carpaccio (arugula, castelvetrano olives, shaved parmesan), then move into our Vongole al Vino Bianco, clams in a white wine broth made for soaking up with bread.

From there, a full pasta tour: our Rigatoni alla Carillon in vodka sauce with smoked pancetta, then Tagliatelle Al Ragu tossed in the cheese wheel. Our crispy pork chop rounds out the mains before dessert - Chocolate Cake finished with gold leaf, and our Semifreddo worth saving room for.

This is what we built Lo Stella on, family recipes done right, generation after generation.

This pasta has a 100% smile rate and we have the footage to prove it. 😁🍝

Tagliatelle al Ragù d’Agnello - slow braised lamb ragu, hand-rolled tagliatelle, finished inside a whole Parmigiano Reggiano wheel. Every strand picks up that nutty, aged cheese as it’s tossed, and the result is something you genuinely cannot stop thinking about. This is the dish.

Come see us. Get the pasta!

Luca says shoot it. 🥃 And Luca is the Grappa King at Lo Stella, so we’re not arguing.

Tonight’s pour is the Poli Cleopatra Moscato Oro - a 95-point Moscato grappa aged in oak, bright amber in the glass with notes of pineapple, mandarin and orange blossom.

Smooth, elegant and nothing like what you think grappa is. One shot and you will understand exactly why Luca is recommending this one. Come meet the Grappa King. 🍊

Shot or sip - how do you take your grappa? 👇🏼

Three desserts. Zero regrets. Il dolce far niente 🍫🍋🍮

Our dessert menu at Lo Stella is doing something special, and we need to talk about it.

First up - the chocolate cake 🍫 Mirror glaze so perfect it should be illegal. Chocolatey layers finished with gold leaf because Chef Trevor doesn’t do anything halfway.

Then the cheesecake 🍋 That glossy top, the delicate citrus curls, the honey-olive oil pool underneath… Italian elegance on a plate.

And finally the Semifreddo 🍮 Silky, caramel-drenched, topped with candied pistachios and a dusting of powdered sugar. It arrives looking like a dream and disappears in about 30 seconds.

Which one are you ordering first?

You’ll throw your head back for this one. Veal at Lo Stella 🤌🏼

Tender veal finished with melted cheese. Simple, classic, the kind of dish that reminds you why Italian food doesn’t need to be complicated to be excellent!

Right here in Denver’s Golden Triangle.

Vongole al Vino Bianco at Lo Stella 🐚✨

Fresh clams sautéed in a white wine butter sauce, finished with herbs and lemon - and that fresh-baked focaccia on the side is not optional. You need it to soak up every single drop of that buttery broth from the bowl. Honestly our bread situation alone is worth coming in for! 🍋

This is the kind of dish Alessandro’s family has been serving on the Ligurian coast since 1850 - simple, coastal, perfect. Now right here in Denver’s Golden Triangle.

Clams + fresh focaccia or clams over pasta - how are you taking them? 👇

Six ingredients. That’s what REAL Italian pesto is. 🌿

This is our Trofie al Pesto Genovese. Basil, pine nuts, Parmigiano, EVOO, garlic, salt. No cream, no shortcuts, no “pesto-style” anything.

Pesto was born in Genova, on the Ligurian coast. Alessandro grew up twenty minutes away in Portofino, watching it made the same way for generations. That’s the recipe that just landed on our spring menu, tossed with hand-rolled trofie, the pasta Liguria invented to catch every drop.

Come taste the difference six ingredients can make. 🇮🇹

What is everyone looking at? 🧀🍝

That’s our Tagliatelle al Ragù d’Agnello getting tossed inside a full parmesan wheel, and yeah, the whole family stops to watch every single time.

Slow-braised lamb ragù, fresh tagliatelle, finished in the wheel so every strand picks up that nutty, salty pull of aged parm.

Alessandro’s family has been doing this since the 1850s in Portofino. 8 generations of muscle memory in one toss.
