I have stove top 3 wire 120/208 240 volt. is this 110 or 220?

It's a three-phase stove with a hookup similar to the one on the picture below. If you connect it to one 120V (which is commonly referred to as 110V) phase only, you're using only one of two or three heating elements in it, depending on how it was wired. These things are factory wired for a certain type of power feed and to rewire them differently would void the warranty AND you can easily exceed the maximum current that the 120V wiring is capable of carrying safely, so I would not do it unless you're in a commercial location and you're absolutely sure about the amp capacity of your wiring and circuit breakers.

So, to answer your question directly, it's neither. It needs the third phase, too.
