Stella Blu Closing for Extreme Makeover

Six year old Stella Blu in West Conshohocken is getting an extreme makeover. The restaurant will close after dinner this Sat., Oct. 20. Construction will be completed by early December. In the meantime, gift certificates can be redeemed at Gypsy Saloon.

In the front of the house, the dining room will get a new layout with a much bigger bar. The new look will be cozy and comfortable with a sleek feel and warm finishes.

Many Stella Blu menu favorites can be enjoyed at sister restaurant, Gypsy Saloon.
