Gourmet pizza and homemade pasta in a traditional, family-run restaurant with takeaway options.

👍👍 We are down in Tasmania for our honeymoon and decided to try Solo based on some good recommendations. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with smiles and a warm charming man who we would later find out is the owner. He made us feel like close friends immediately. The rest of the st...

👍👍 What a fabulous experience we had at Peppina! A friend had recommended this restaurant to me and I am so glad she did. We were blown away with the quality of the food and service. Everything was of the highest quality and the flavours were to die for. There is an extensive wine list with a fantastic...

Upscale locale in an Edwardian terrace offering modern European dishes crafted from local produce.

👍👍 Had an amazing experience here in Luz restaurant. Decided to stay another night in hotel because of this restaurant. Best food, best quality, best chef and best customer service in town! Love this restaurant.

👍👍 We arrived without a booking and were very very lucky to get a table as we watched as other potential guests were turned away while we were there. A booking would be advised. We ordered a couple of pizzas, a Mediterranean salad and a couple of pasta dishes. The pizzas were some of the most delicious...

Popular Italian spot offering seasonal fare & brekkie in a cool 1800s building with sidewalk seats.

😠 It took about 50 minutes for the pizza and pasta we ordered to come out. The pasta was very soft and very oily. The pizza had what looked like a little bit of clothing dust on it. While we were enjoying conversation after the meal, the waitress asked us to leave quickly, though not directly. I was d...

👍 Really enjoyed dining here. All the dishes were great and I was so pleased that they were able to accommodate my dietary needs without hassle. The courtyard seating was really nice, a good quiet spot compared to the bustling inside of the restaurant. Definitely will be back.

Low-key restaurant preparing traditional, gourmet & personal pizzas, plus garlic bread.

👍👍 In need of a wood fired pizza, we wandered into Ti Ama on a winter Sunday evening. The pepperoni pizza was delicious, a good amount of topping, the thin base was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, with a slight chewiness. Prompt service and great atmosphere.

Family-run Italian eatery in an old warehouse, offering classic dishes made with Tasmanian produce.

👍👍 The pasta is a hit! Gnocchi was fantastic and the carbonara was spot on, the sauce the right amount of creaminess without being too rich or heavy. Service was A+ and there is also an ice cream shop attached to the cafe where you can finish off with a scoop of flavour, which is a very large scoop too...

😠 Great pizza, some of the best we had in a while. Just unfortunate that the wait staff had no clue, the classic wrong order to the wrong table, then some free-bee pizzas came out to other tables for the wait. We also had to chase this up with only 3 tables seated wasn't that busy, worst part, No apol...

👍👍 OMG the freshest most delicious pizza I've had! Even the bases and crusts are sensational! The Antipasti and the margarita just to die for 😍😍

Casual, down-home outpost offering pizza, small plates & desserts, plus a variety of wines & brews.

👍👍 Very accomodating and the staff went above and beyond to meet dietary requirements, the best carbonara I’ve ever had! My partner said his steak was “out of this world”. Definitely coming back!

👍👍 Awesome place with great atmosphere to have dinner. Waitresses are committed to great service and are friendly. Hidden player of the show is the "chef", who delivered tasty food with excellent presentation. Attached photos which speaks all.
