Book NowAbout Stella
Stella brings relaxed Italian dining to Bulimba, pairing house-made pastas and wood-fired dough with a calm, breezy room. Settled near the Oxford Street ferry terminal, the airy dining room skips overwhelming noise in favour of warm lighting, mellow acoustics, and attentive service. Diners lean into thin-crusted diavola pizza, king prawn pasta, and silky stracciatella scooped up with warm, blistered focaccia. The kitchen also handles dietary needs without fuss, turning out gluten-free pizzas and pastas that hold their own. Evenings lean unhurried—glass of wine or a negroni on the table, followed by classic tiramisu.
