Located at the river end of Nelson's main street, Stefano's, is aimed at the discerning budget-conscious diner seeking a wholesome, tasty lunch or dinner with a coffee or a glass of wine.

Our signature dishes are our hand made pizzas, and to ensure that our pizzas would be the equal of any in the world we use quality local and italian ingredients and bake them in our stone oven.

Of course we also offers a range of other Italian and New Zealand dishes and served with the best Sauvignon Blancs or Pinots from the Nelson-Marlborough region or wines from Italy or Australia. A variety of local and international beers are also offered to complement our meals.
