Located at the river end of Nelson's main street, the 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 offer 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.

At our restaurant you will get Real Italian Pizza made by Real Italians. We bake our Pizzas in a traditional stone oven to ensure our pizzas are nice and crispy every time. We use just the right amounts of high quality cheese, spices, and toppings baked to a golden brown, crispy texture to create an unforgettable flavour and taste!

We at Stefano's offer you 17 varieties of Pizza - each one hand-made straight after you order. If your mood is for some traditional salads, pastas, homemade soup or freshly baked scones or just an Espresso, we have those for you too!

If you love real pizza you'll love Stefano's. Come dine with us in Nelson or get a pizza to go!

You'll find us upstairs at the "State Cinemas" in Nelson, 91 Trafalgar Street.
