About Stokehouse Pasta & Bar

Casual beachfront Italian meets the St Kilda foreshore, stripped of stiff formality and made for unhurried seaside dining. Ground-floor tables look right out over the bay as the afternoon rolls into dusk. Diners lean in over bowls of spaghetti tossed with crab, garlic, and chilli, or share charcoal-blistered octopus skewers beside plates of calamari marinara. Pasta arrives in flexible entree, main, or group sizes, paired with an accessible wine list where bottles stay priced flat at $79. Out on the promenade, the energy stays effortlessly easygoing while the floor team keeps pace with everything from family coloring books to lingering afternoon spritzes.

  • Beachfront Setting: Tables sit directly on the St Kilda foreshore with panoramic bay vistas, suited for casual afternoon drinks and sunset dinners.
  • Flexible Coastal Menu: Features fresh pastas scaled by entree, main, or group sizes, including crab spaghetti and calamari marinara alongside grilled skewers.
  • Flat-Priced Wine List: A curated bottle list offered at a flat $79 price point keeps ordering straightforward and accessible.
  • Easygoing Hospitality: Thoughtful front-of-house staff welcome casual walk-ins, lingering lunch groups, and families with equal warmth.
