Estelle Cosenza, the heart behind Stellas Cucina Italiana & Pasticceria, grew up with a wooden spoon in hand and flour on her apron. At just four years old, Estelle stood beside her grandma, mother, and aunts, mastering how true Italian food should smell, feel, and taste. Those foundational childhood days shaped every authentic sauce, cookie, and pie that now leaves her certified cottage kitchen.

Years later, time spent supporting her two chef brothers in their restaurant added professional precision, technique, and calm under pressure, while the heart of every recipe stayed firmly rooted in family legacy. Today, Estelle brings that perfect blend of warm heritage and culinary skill directly to Erie neighbors who crave real Italian flavor. Every single order is a personal promise from Estelle, crafted so your table feels full, welcoming, and beautifully cared for.
