Stella

Stella’s dining room is a mix of indoor and outdoor space with an open-concept kitchen, and with only about 10 tables, you’ll likely need to relax outside with a glass of wine for a while if you arrive without a reservation. Do whatever it takes to secure a seat here, because the Mediterranean-meets-Latin menu has excellent dishes like toasted miso eggplant and fried cauliflower with candied pistachios, pink peppercorn, and anchovy chimichurri—the latter being one of the best things you can eat in Truckee. Just know the menu changes seasonally.
