Stellini is a family-owned, Jersey-style Italian restaurant at 15 Executive Park Road, in a low building tucked among pines and azaleas that is easy to drive past. It has been serving Hilton Head Island for more than 30 years, and reviewers say it feels like a traditional Philly or Jersey family restaurant where half the room knows the host by name. Locals usually just call it Stellini’s.

What to Order at Stellini

Pasta and classic red-sauce dishes lead the menu: seafood cannelloni, eggplant parmesan, lasagna, chicken parmesan, meatballs and fettuccine Alfredo. Desserts such as cannoli, crème brûlée and key lime pie draw praise, and the martinis are called good and unusual. Reviews are mixed on a few entrées and on portion size at the salad course, so ask your server about the specials, which change weekly. The menu button above opens the current dinner menu.

The Early Bird and the Wildlife Window

Stellini runs a three-course early bird special every day from 5:00 to 5:45 p.m., which reviewers call one of the better dinner values on the island. The other draw is out back: the sunroom windows look onto a feeding area where raccoons, deer, birds and even a cat show up, and children and adults alike watch them during dinner. Ask for a window table when you book.
