We enjoyed scrumptious meals and had fantastic service from our attenti waiter. He knew the menu and the ingredients exceptionally well. The meals and the nice selection of wines are well priced. Definitely a must visit when in Hobart. I had to compliment the manager on this remarkable establishment. Certainly the best Italian restaurant in Tassie. I can say this on the basis that the standard, ingredients and dishes are continuously improving.Some of the photos are from previous visit done two years ago.

We had a fantastic dinner at Tesoro Italian Restaurant on Sunday night. The food was excellent – we ordered the Eye Fillet Steak, Beef Pappardelle, Kingfish Crudo, Focaccia Bread, oysters, and finished with a delicious Tiramisu. Drinks were on point too – loved the Bloody Mary and Aperol Spritz.What made the experience truly memorable was the outstanding service. Our waiter Aryan was absolutely brilliant – friendly, attentive, and full of positive energy. He made us feel genuinely welcome and enhanced the whole dining experience.A top-notch team and a warm, vibrant atmosphere. We'll definitely be back – highly recommend!

Had three breakfasts here. The food off the menu was low key trash but the buffet side made up for it. The potato Rosti was soggy, flavourless with no crunch. The waffle had good intentions but the ricotta added a grainy texture. The Tesoro special, lacked anything special, it was pretty bland. The breakfast sandwich was great, the brioche bun with bacon, eggs and tomato chilli relish was great.The man running front of house seated us, then a minute later we went to go get food from the buffet and he had taken away our menu's and cleared the table. It showed a lack of attention to detail.
