About Stellina Ristorante

Tucked inside a Peterkin Street cottage, Stellina turns out regional Italian comfort in rooms lit by fairy lights and an open fireplace. Gippsland regulars swear by the Feed Me tasting format—a spread of starters like crisp arancini and pepperoni croquettes leading into bowls of vodka pasta or seafood linguine. Tables on the deck sit directly beneath an oak canopy for warm-evening spritzes, while cold nights keep the front room close and unhurried. Service moves at an easy pace, making two hours disappear over fresh gnocchi and crumbed oysters.

  • Shared 'Feed Me' Feasts: Multi-course shared formats bring out consecutive starters and mains, including house arancini and pasta.
  • Cottage Setting & Tree Deck: An indoor fireplace warms winter dinners, while the fairy-lit deck sits sheltered under an oak canopy.

  • Communal Feasts for Milestone Celebrations

    Generous multi-course tasting menus designed for parties of six or more to easily share authentic Italian starters and mains together.

    So, being over 6 people, had the "chefs menu", a choice of four entrees and 3 mains, to share between us all.

  • Peaceful Drinks Under the Oak Tree

    A relaxed outdoor setting shaded by an oak tree that allows guests to unwind with wine after work.

    A wine under the serenity of the oak tree was much needed after a huge day at work.

  • Alfresco Catch-Ups on the Deck

    An inviting open-air deck that accommodates gatherings in cool or pleasant weather for relaxed alfresco dinners.

    It was a cool but lovely night to sit on the deck for our catch up.
