Holy Macaroni-and-cheese! Stella, the new eatery on Neukölln’s Weserstrasse, is giving new meaning to the phrase “dine and dash”. Pop in, fill your Stella lunchbox with roasted potato salad with aioli or the already infamous NY style sesame noodles; eat-in or take it to go. How about lemon-rosemary white bean spread for your sandwich? You got it. There are sandwiches, soups, and in-house baked sweets like pop-tarts and matcha macadamia nut white chocolate “greenies”. Look out for the wildcard specials too; recent additions include roasted pork belly with bbq sauce and slow-roasted lamb shoulder with pomegranate and pearl couscous. Don’t miss the tropical cafeteria in the back adorned with Dorothy Draper wallpaper. Proprietor and chef Suzy Fracassa also designed the interior of Stella, with loving attention to detail proving best selfie backgrounds in town. Stella is a glorious culmination of Fracassa’s Italian heritage (via Detroit) and her background of 13 years in Berlin’s food scene. Stella opened on April 21st this Spring, in cooperation with Fortuna’s Table Catering and Feast Private Dining Venue, also run by Fracassa herself. (Text & photo: Elizabeth Rushe)
