Stella

Bulimba’s Oxford Street just leveled up. Stella delivers a rare breed of modern Italian—effortlessly chic, fiercely authentic, entirely unpretentious. Brisbane’s dining crowd is quietly crowning this luminous space their ultimate weekend rotation. The room itself is a masterclass in Mediterranean minimalism—spacious, pristine, humming with a curated playlist tuned perfectly for actual conversation. The kitchen executes with serious sprezzatura. Think immaculately textured handmade pastas, perfectly roasted spatchcock, and pizzas boasting a flawlessly crisp cornicione. Even the crudo pushes boundaries—beef carpaccio stunningly plated with tangerine and spring onion for a bright, contemporary edge. Factor in a sharp cocktail program and a remarkably warm front-of-house team dropping expert menu guidance. Pure, unadulterated la dolce vita right in the heart of Brissy.
