About Di Stasio Carlton

Skip Carlton’s casual pizza strip—this is Italian dining dialed for milestone dates and unhurried evenings. Diners head straight out back to the gravel courtyard, framed by leafy shade and a 17th-century stone fountain. The kitchen backs up the setting with creamy pistachio cocktails, pasta pulled strictly al dente, and wood-fired crusts with house-made mozzarella—down to a dedicated gluten-free base that celiac regulars swear rivals the traditional dough.

  • Historic Courtyard Setting: A gravel-lined outdoor dining space set behind the restaurant, centered around an antique 17th-century stone fountain.
  • Artisanal & Gluten-Free Pizza: Long-fermented Neapolitan pies crafted with in-house fior di latte and a dedicated celiac-safe dough option.
  • Milestone Occasion Dining: Traditional pastas, attentive wine pairings, and signature pistachio cocktails suited for celebratory date nights.

  • Proprietary Artisanal Pizza Ingredients

    Pizzas are built on custom-milled durum flour, contract-grown Yarra Valley San Marzano tomatoes, and house-made fior di latte for exceptional crust and flavor.

    They have their own durum flour blend milled, work with Yarra Valley farmers to grow San Marzano tomatoes and make their fior di latte in house.
