5 years of authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of downtown Knoxville. Although our menu changes seasonally there is one constant— our house-made lasagna.

When we opened Chef Amalia curated our menu, bringing delicious family recipes from Northern Italy. Chef Amalia’s dishes are simple and rustic, with many having only five ingredients. Her recipes were handed down by her family, which she polished with techniques mastered at Milan’s culinary academy.

In the kitchen today, Culinary Director John Hasentufel and Sous Chef Ryan Bolton continue to honor and build upon Chef Amalia Brusati’s original vision, ensuring every plate reflects the care and craftsmanship that inspired this journey from the very beginning.

All pastas and breads are produced in house, then and now. Our lasagna was one of guests’ favorites when we opened, and this remains true to this day, five years later.

So, allow us to officially invite you in to taste the tradition.

As we celebrate five wonderful years, we look back on the moments that helped shape who we are.

Here’s a throwback to a trip our team took to Italy, filled with incredible wine, pasta, and inspiration.

Those experiences continue to inspire every dish we serve and every guest we welcome.

Join us on Thursday, July 30, as we celebrate with two special anniversary experiences: our Aperitivo Hour and 5-Year Anniversary Wine Dinner.

One of the things we’re most proud of at Osteria Stella isn’t just what’s on the menu, it’s the people behind it.

Today, we’re honored to celebrate not one, but four sommeliers on our team. But this moment is especially meaningful because of Casey and Matt’s journey.

Five years ago, they helped us open our doors. Since then, they’ve grown into leadership roles, earned the title sommelier, and become an integral part of who we are. Their passion for Italian wine, dedication to their craft, and deep understanding of the country’s diverse wine regions have elevated the experience we create for every guest.

Their knowledge doesn’t just fill a wine list, it brings every pairing to life, ensuring each glass beautifully complements the flavors on your plate.

Watching our team grow alongside Osteria Stella has been one of our greatest privileges. Casey and Matt, thank you for your commitment, your curiosity, and for helping make every visit to Osteria Stella something special. We’re incredibly proud of you.
