Stelo at Pierre's

Great contemporary Italian food with excellent pasta and tender, juicy wagyu. The desserts were also fantastic and a perfect way to end the meal. We arrived very late at night, yet the kitchen was still open and happy to serve us, which we truly appreciated. The staff were very helpful and welcoming — special thanks to Janet for her outstanding service. Highly recommended.

👍: Robbins Island Wagyu beef takes the cake for the best dish we had. Lovely Wagyu, meat was nicely done, and texture was awesomely good. Close seconds are the Insalata do Polpo (octopus) and Fritto Misto. 👎: Our pan fried fish was served cold. (Service recovery was a lemon sorbet AFTER we ordered our desert...)

I don’t usually write reviews unless something’s really bad—or really amazing—and this time, I was truly overwhelmed. The attention to detail is what sets this restaurant apart. The décor and fit-out are fantastic: subdued, romantic, and absolutely beautiful. The service was attentive, friendly, and professional. The food was excellent—generous serves, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. • Polpette di maiale – tasty, tender, and perfectly seasoned pork. • Insalata di Asparagi – a lovely mix of soft white asparagus with the crunch of almonds; perfectly balanced. • Fritto Misto – a very generous serve of fresh fish, squid, and scallops, each with a thin, crisp crumb. Excellent. • Porchetta – magnificent, again. Huge thanks to the waitstaff, the chef and kitchen crew, and to the charming owner, Lauren, who has clearly poured her passion into every detail. And then there’s the bar, the cellar, the private dining areas… I could go on. A true food lover’s paradise.

Best oysters I’ve had in Tasmania! We had the Pasta Set for dinner and shared the oysters, buttata and salsiccia e friarielli before choosing our individual pastas - spaghetti putanesca and campanelle patate provola e pancetta (with side salad). Everything was amazing and we really enjoyed the experience!

Ordered the $95 tasting menu with the $70 wine pairing. For two courses, no wine was served at all — I had to ask staff where my pairing was. When the bill came, I noticed I had been charged twice for the pairing, which is unacceptable. Paying for a wine pairing and having to chase it — and then almost being overcharged — completely ruined the experience. Very disappointing.

Had a really enjoyable evening here. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting—perfect for a relaxed dinner or catch-up with friends. The food overall was fine, though nothing really stood out. It was well-presented and pleasant, just not especially memorable. That said, the bread was a real highlight—served warm with a delicious salty flavour that set a great tone at the start of the meal. While the dishes didn’t quite match the excellent service and lovely setting, it’s still a nice spot to unwind and enjoy a comfortable dining experience.

Where do I start ?. I was a little bit sceptical at first as this is a fine dining restaurant and I truly have not been to a fine dining restaurant before. Well to be honest I thought I had but this place brings a whole new meaning to fine dining. Everything about this restaurant is the meaning of fine dining from the professional welcome we recieved to the Heavenly meals presented like fine pieces of artwork on a plate. I'm going to be truly honest with everyone. Stelo at Pierre's has to be the most amazing restaurant my partner and I have ever been to and it's not going to be easy to top this place, in fact, I don't think I ever will. From the staff and the amazing meals to the decor and the atmosphere... this restaurant is truly a heaven on earth for lovers of truly fine dining... And to say we most definitely will be back when we return to Launceston. Thanks again to the wonderful staff and chefs for a most amazing and memorable culinary experience as we were truly blown away.... thanks again 😊

Serious, professional cooking. The service is a bit rushed and impersonal, but OK. Fold is comming out slowly, but the quality compensates for the long wait. Overall, this is really good value for money! With little tweaking here and there (e.g. skipping the industrial french fries and doing their own + organizing the speed of service better), they can be top notch. They will get there and when they do they should double the prices, which would be fair, because they are capable and they can deliver :)
