Book NowAbout Stella Restaurant
Perched on the rim of Henley Square, Stella pairs front-row Gulf St Vincent sunset views with unfussy Italian coastal dining. Regulars gravitate toward the outdoor tables as twilight sets in over the jetty, sipping Barossa rosé and working through crispy arancini or prawns in sun-dried tomato cream. Inside, the room hums over chicken gnocchi gorgonzola and charred scotch fillet, sheltered from wild beach weather behind panoramic windows. Mornings belong to seaside strollers sipping strong espresso outside, while late afternoons linger over bowls of risotto and crisp local whites.
- Henley Foreshore Views: Fronts Henley Square with open indoor and outdoor seating gazing across the jetty and foreshore.
- Italian Coastal Comforts: Serves savory Italian classics like gorgonzola chicken gnocchi, golden arancini, and prawns in sun-dried tomato cream.
- South Australian Wine List: Pours regional bottles from the Barossa, McLaren Vale, and Adelaide Hills right beside the beach.
