Stelline is Italian for "little stars" and also the name of a tiny, star-shaped pasta. It's a nod to two things: the celestial history of this space, and the handmade pasta at the center of everything we do.
We didn't set out to build a special occasion restaurant. The more time we spent in NE Minneapolis, the more we kept hearing the same thing: people wanted a place they could come back to every week, not just when there was something to celebrate. So that's what we built, a neighborhood restaurant for family dinners, drinks with friends, and easy weeknights, with the same hospitality Travail has been about since day one.
The menu follows the same idea. Handmade pastas, shareable starters, comforting entrées, and seasonal specialties, all built to be passed around the table, not kept to yourself.
