Word is trickling out about the incoming Stella in West Hollywood from Rob Gentile, a veteran chef from Toronto who has relocated to Los Angeles for this two-story Italian restaurant in partnership with Janet Zuccarini. Zuccarini already has a successful empire of 11 restaurants in Canada and a massive hit at Felix in Venice with chef Evan Funke.
Now Zuccarini and Gentile look to light up this quieter section of West Hollywood’s Beverly Boulevard with a flashy Italian menu operating on two levels. Locals might recognize the location as the former Madeo, which has since been redeveloped into a luxury condominium tower, including one of the city’s most expensive penthouses. Here’s what to expect from the incoming Stella before it opens in early February.
