I had seen reviews for this place, walked past it and chose it for our third Hobart dinner. The sardines entree were delicious but when I had asked how many were on the plate I was told one. In fact there were several and we could have shared the plate. Turns out my partner had the garlic bread, which is exactly what the sardines needed to mop up the juices. So we shared in the end anyway! Prawn risotto was ….nice. The prawns were bland but the rest delicious. Affogato was all we could fit in for dessert. To be fair we had eaten a lot during the day. As walk ins We didn’t have a good table being stuck by the pole but I had a view of the grill. Service was muffling but the atmosphere let them down. Cold decor. Bad music. If it had at least been Italian I could have forgiven. I suppose in a different position my opinion would have been softened. After all that we would probably go again because the food is lovely all things considered. No photos sorry

It’s a lovely venue with lovely food. The service by the girls are pleasant, even friendly. The guys not as much I feel. The menu isn’t large, but I think perhaps more care and thought goes into what is there. I noticed the prices can be high, but I haven’t tried those dishes.. they may be well worth it. I drank moscato and got to say it was really lovely. A good brand perhaps, and that’s how I feel about this venue.. it feels almost lavish with good wine, good food and even good interior with a touch of fancy.If you are after a cheap pizza, don’t go in, but if you are after an evening of treating yourself, give it a go.
